Snarkless: Donkeys, Diamonds, and a New Job for the Popemobile

Snarkless – 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 more Good News stories making the rounds . . .

1.  The Vatican announced one of Pope Francis’s “popemobiles” is being transformed into a mobile health clinic for kids in the Gaza Strip.  They said it was one of his final wishes before he passed away last month.

2.  A farmer from Minnesota named David DeCook found a 3.8 carat diamond at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas late last month.  One report said it could be worth up to $19,000.  He said it looked like a candy wrapper at first.

3.  A donkey born on a farm in Scotland ended up with two moms instead of one.  (???)  Two donkeys gave birth at the same time and sadly, one of the babies was stillborn.  But no one knows which donkey it belonged to.

Both moms just assumed it was theirs, and they’ve both been caring for him.  Even the farm’s owner doesn’t know who the real mom is, and says it doesn’t matter.  They’re teaming up and raising him together.  Here’s a photo.
