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 more Good News stories making the rounds . . .
1. This happened in 2019, but it’s viral again. A 12-year-old wrestler named Austin Scranton allowed a 14-year-old with cerebral palsy named Lucas Lacina to live out his dream of wrestling for the school team.
And Austin didn’t just go through the motions, he gave Lucas a good challenge, while also making sure Lucas was in a safe position to succeed, and get the pin.
Austin was from the opposing school . . . and afterward, he said, “I kinda just wanted to do it, because I wanted to help some kid that loves the same sport as me.” Much respect. It’s been six years . . . but just last month, Austin announced that he’d be wrestling for Augustana University.
2. In a new survey, 77% of U.S. veterans say they believe video games have a positive impact on their lives. 86% say video games provide a healthy outlet for stress and anxiety . . . 81% say they help them cope with difficult times . . . and 74% say gaming communities have a positive impact on their mental health.
3. A 115-year-old British woman has become the world’s oldest living person. Ethel Caterham credits her longevity to, “Never arguing with anyone, [listening], and doing what I like.”
