Welcome to One Good Thing
Good stuff happens all the time. We'll email about it one thing at a time.
It’s pretty good out there.
1. What the hell is going on out there?
For a ton of reasons from the silliness of political extremes to the sad underpinnings of algorithms that drive arguments and unproven positions there’s a ton of bad or confrontational news.
That leads to a bunch of cynicism and negativity.
It also leads to what I perceive as a lack of attention paid to the wonderful things that go on every day.
That’s what we’re doing here. Small daily celebrations of good things.
2. So what do we want to do here?
Honestly? Not sure. The point we are starting with is simply spreading good news and optimism. That’s the email. Once daily. The rest? I hope it’ll grow organically. I have some ideas for data visualizing and polls, but we’re going to Han Solo this and make it up as we go along.
3. So how do you fit in?
If you sign up? You’ll get an email a day (at least that’s the plan) with good news or funny news or uplifting news. From there? It’s basically up to you! Share it, comment on it, refute it?
Then help us converse on positive news.
