You know, I have looked, over and over again, for just such a newspaper, Iuv, as you are developing here. It is brilliant and my currently favorite read on the web. Saves me from having to even glance at all of the sensational nonsense that humanity seems so addicted to.
Is there? Fair do-s. I guess you saw the story about the loggerhead turtle that was rescued after getting wedged between two rocks on a beach? It's a regular phenomena with my tipsy tortoises too.
I'm trying to make no comment about the top of the iceberg in the picture.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ. Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit. Shall lure it back to cancal half a line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

I don't think it's that we gravitate to bad news, it's what the media prioritises because they only have a 30 min programme or whatever and there's so much strife in the world. I'll talk about happy things anytime! I had a solid eight hour sleep last night- there you go.
But, Kat, with the internet, we can avoid all the crap by avoiding those that purvey it and focus on the good side of things. That's why I really like this particular good new website. Some other ones don't show the good side of people in world events and, yet, this one does. By the way, here's a better link.
While I still glance at the "normal news", I think I will be spending a great deal more of time on this page.
And, no, I don't think I buy the argument that we need to see the bad more than the good. It is a choice. At least in a world of internet. I avoid any exposure to 'live' TV (as opposed to dvd's) at all costs, including the force-fed news, especially the force-fed news. I can't think of a worse pollution for the mind. When tv was the one and only "connection" to the world, one could argue that there wasn't a choice. That is no longer true.
Well I'm going to check in on it every day so thanks for the link. Unknown to my other half, I'm trying again to come off the Prozac so I'll need some good news, exercise and CBT! I haven't told Catherine for two reasons - 1, I intend to do it so carefully and painfully slowly this time ( maybe it'll take two years if it even succeeds) that I hope she doesn't even notice 2, I don't want her prejudicing my success or otherwise by blaming any tiny mood moment I have on the drug. After 25 years it's going to be tough and last year I failed because the physical side effects made me dysfunctional . A new Frapp album in 2017 will be the carrot that keeps me going!
