I thought it might be nice to start a thread where we can place any bits of good news that we come across. I’d like to gather up good news stories that can give us cause to feel hopeful or just stuff that might help make us feel warm and fluffy inside. I’ll start us off with a few examples:
I hope these might bring a smile or a spark of hope.
These are remarkable. It’s incredible to think how these have been taken. They’re breathtaking.

It only took a devastating and uncalled for war! /hj
I thought I’d explain a but more why I’m posting these articles. The news media and even social media tend to run on negative news stories. These drive engagement and get attention, but it gives us a skewed view of the world. By sharing good news stories I hope to help people (including myself; perhaps mainly myself!) see that it isn’t all misery out there. Sharing good news is an act of resistance to a world that runs on negativity. Good news helps us to retain perspective and it gives us hope. I now spend at least a few minutes each day trying to track down a good news story to share. I would love it if other people would join me in doing so. This is such a positive community that I think it’s the ideal place to share good things!
Another nugget of hope.
Finding good local news was a challenge…
There seems to be a lot of historical research news posted on here, so I thought I’d add this article from a while back:
On a slightly related note, a DW episode about the Battle of Hastings would be wonderful
Isn’t that called The Time Meddler?
True, I completely forgot about that lol. Although on a technicality, the Monk’s meddling aims to prevent the Battle of Stamford Bridge, which would allow Harold to be better prepared for Hastings. But yes, we already have an 1066 episode.
Thank you for adding to the Good News list. Yes it can be challenging to find uplifting stories as they’re so rarely reported, but it’s great to share them when you do! Many thanks!
