Scott and SadieSnarkless – Because even we need a break from the madness. Once a day, we swallow our sarcasm (it burns, honestly) and deliver three legitimately good news stories—no cynicism, no side-eye, just pure, unfiltered positivity. It’s weird for us too, but hey, even the apocalypse deserves a little sunshine.
Here are a few Snarkless stories making the rounds . . .
1. A study found playing with a dog for 15 minutes leaves you AND the dog feeling less stressed. They proved it by measuring cortisol levels in saliva.
2. Good news for Grandpa: Food scientists are working on a new type of grapefruit that doesn’t mess with medications. People on some cholesterol and blood pressure meds can’t have it. It also clashes with certain antibiotics, and around 80 other medications.
3. The Portland Trail Blazers have been testing out a new device that helps visually impaired fans enjoy live games. They recently became the first NBA team to add OneCourt devices, little pads that vibrate and tell you what’s happening. There’s also an audio feed that pairs with it.
They have five of them available for free at all home games. A kid named Hank Vogel recently got to try one and loved it. He said it’s the first time he’s really enjoyed a live sporting event.
