#good-news
In which I catalogue some good news along with the horrible no good very bad shit, all the while hoping I'll ditch this funk. And there's music! It's today's Bad Crow Review.

Such good news about Belle!!! Your care for horses is really something!!!

Also worth noting was the outstanding contribution from @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social

I'm trying to send observations from our side of the pond, to a family member in the US, who doesn't seem to have a good news source.
Has Simon's segment been clipped up anywhere please? I'm no good at doing this.

I would restart the machine and try it again. The good news is that does point more to a software issue afaik without seeing a memory dump

What comes around goes around. Right? The hypocrisy is rampant. As long it is MAGA or the far right is doing these things, it's ok. As soon as a democrat does it, OMG, they are the devil. What's good for the goose is good for the gander? F You MAGA!

The good news is the prednisone does seem to have broken my 2 week plus headache huzzah! The bad news is apparently there is still a very tiny chance that it’s shingles because it would help with a headache from that too

That's good news overall:

(consumption * 0.80) * (rate * 1.20) = consumption * rate * 0.96

You saved 4% !!! Yay!
Good things: the average temp this past month was the same as the past month last year, yet we used 20% less electricity (whooo updated attic insulation!)

Bad thing: the billing rate is 20% higher this year.

I am aware that this person is probably not in the market for empirical evaluation of their claim, but the good news, if one were a hypothetical person who wasn't completely incurious, is that "there won't be a next election" is something you don't have to wait very long to test!

The good news for Nixon’s ghost is that it can rest easier knowing that he will no longer be the first one associated with presidential criminality.

The American era of right-wing populism will be treated like the Jim Crow years - an object lesson in exactly how dark our souls can get.
Well, it's not like this administration ever misuses confidential data, engages in white nationalist rhetoric, or badmouths ethnic minorities. So their collecting lists of Jews is probably completely innocent! lnk.thebulwark.com/4qDPZc0

Good news!
Your eyes do not require re-calibration!

Is legacy media still relevant? Good question. Then you realize news on talk shows and podcasts originated in legacy media. And the 2-minute interview on cable left much to be desired. Then you see today's Star Tribune — with long stories with lots of sources and data.

Powerful community media.

If you are a politician worried about opposing ICE because they'll portray you as defending nefarious ~Illegal Immigrants~ good news! They've declared war on citizens too. Citizens, the constitution, the very idea of freedom from arbitrary government abuse. If you can't be against that...

Good news!

Finally some good news.

It’s been a day! During routine check, vet found a lump in Rigg’s anal gland so we got him straight in for an op to have it removed. Good news is that it seems benign & all bloods & scans came back clean.
He won’t be riding his bike for a week or so.😬
January 23, 2026 at 8:28 PM
This is good news because I called him probably 6 times. I told him not to cave like he did during the government shut down. I guess I have to thank him for this on my next call. 😏

The good news is it'll (probably) be another decade+ before we get something like this again. Big Southern winter storms are very rare, but can pack a big punch when all the conditions hit just right (Blizzard of '93, for example).

Finally some good news 💯

Behold, a snow day edition of Ask The Old Guy, in which we discuss expectations, the myth of "first-place schedules," draft targets, what to do at TE, coach-QB communication technology, what makes a good question, and of course, emergency Vienna sausage.

Ask The Old Guy: Let it snow
It's time to get ready for a winter blast. So make sure to have a plan and take care of your people, which applies to football too. But there's still a lot of football talk.

In easier to stomach news, look at Thomas and his happy face
January 23, 2026 at 8:26 PM
This would normally be terrible, but the good news is no one believes anything this White House says, so no real harm done that wasn’t already happening.
