50 Positive Headlines That Might Bring Some Sunshine To Your Day (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
Folks are pretty tired of the constant negative news and content on the internet. As the Reuters Institute's 2024 Digital News Report found, 39% of the global world selectively avoids the news. Some just find it too repetitive and boring, but an increasing number of people say that the nature of the news makes them feel anxious and powerless.
But we're here to give you at least a short reprieve from that. We've collected the newest feel-good stories from the Global Positive News page to make your day a little brighter, Pandas. There's still compassion, kindness, and love in this world, and these stories prove that!
To chat about the importance of positive news in today's climate, Bored Panda had a chat with the managing editor at the Good Good Good media organization, Kamrin Baker. She shared her thoughts about why we might need positive news now more than ever, so, scroll down to see her thoughts below!

The Global Positive News page has over a million followers on Instagram and has been spreading positivity on the platform since 2015. Their mission is simple: to help people find and enjoy the wholesome things in life without giving in to daily negativity.
Media organization Good Good Good has a similar goal: to report positive news and create helpful resources about how their readers can make a positive impact. So, we decided to have a chat with them about why we need positive news so much currently and what it's like being the bringer of wholesome, heartwarming news.

On social media, we're often bombarded with negative news. While it's important to keep informed about what's happening in the world, it can be hard not to fall down the rabbit hole of negativity. Good Good Good does its part to help people see that it's not just bad stuff that's happening out there.
"There are so many benefits to reading — and sharing — good news," the managing editor at Good Good Good, Kamrin Baker, tells Bored Panda. "We know that our brains are hardwired to pay attention to the 'bad' stuff, or the information we feel is vital to keeping us alive. This means that finding good news is not an easy task, but it is an important one!"

A heart surgeon had engine trouble so he took it in to a mechanic. So tell me," says the mechanic, "I've been wondering about what we both do for a living, and how much more you get paid than me.." "Yes?.." says the surgeon. "Well look at this," says the mechanic, as he worked on a big complicated engine, "I check how it's running, open it up, fix the valves, and put it all back together so it works good as new.. We basically do the same job don't we? And yet you are paid ten times what I am - how do you explain that?" The surgeon thought for a moment, and smiling gently, replied,"Try it with the engine running..

Also, he's basically staying in the same field ... cars and humans are both machines that need to be looked after.
Kamrin says that seeking out good news helps us balance out the bad news we might keep seeing online. "[It helps us] reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, stay engaged with the things and stories we care about, build empathy and compassion, and inspire us to do more good, too," she adds.
"Since our standard media landscape is heavily dominated by negative stories, finding good news requires us all to intentionally seek it out. Good Good Good exists to make that a little bit easier."

Ron and Lloyd Dong Jr. grew up in Coronado, CA. Their family’s journey to the sunny town wasn’t always easy. In the 1930s, their father, Lloyd Dong Sr., faced housing discrimination as a Chinese American, with most homes off-limits due to racist covenants.
But one family opened their doors - the Thompsons. Gus and Emma Thompson, a black couple, chose to rent their house to the Dongs, defying the racial barriers of the time. In 1955, the Dongs purchased the home and made it their own.
Now, decades later, the Dongs are paying it forward. They’ve decided to sell their family home and donate two-thirds of the proceeds (around $5 million) to the Black Resource Center at San Diego State University. The center will be renamed in honor of Gus and Emma Thompson.
“They did a lot for us,” Ron commented. “In that one little act … it did a lot for our family.”

Engaging with negative news too much causes stress and anxiety. If we regularly read these types of news stories, it keeps our cortisol levels elevated. While it can save us from dangerous situations, having this kind of fight-or-flight response every day wears us out mentally and physically over time. "Slowing down, looking for solutions, and considering nuance in the face of constant news feeds helps take us out of our immediate stress response," Kamrin wrote once.

Engaging with good news, on the other hand, can inspire us to do more good. One study found that solutions-focused reporting increased people's problem-solving skills by 20%. "Opening the mind to the fact that others have overcome similar challenges and been successful is an effective way to catalyze positive change, as it creates a greater sense of hope and optimism," the authors explained.

I've always thought that being proud of your country is a bit jingoistic. You have no control over where you're born, so being proud to be British, proud to be American has always seemed odd.

I wish Australia could say the same.

The strange thing is, that lots of people would not mind if these cooling towers belonged to a nuclear plant. One of the difficulties with all "dig stuff up" powered power plants (gas, oil, coal, nuclear): The using country is depending on other countries wanting to sell it and undisturbed transport routes. You are basically a slave hoping for the best. The only two unrestricted, unblockable, freely available power sources for every country are solar and wind.

When the news is online, it gives an illusion that it's not real. That's why the managing editor at Good Good Good thinks that the current resurgence of physical media might do us good in how we engage with what's happening in the world.
"Something I love most about being the managing editor at Good Good Good is leading the creation of our monthly Goodnewspaper," she shares. "This kind of print media helps teach our brains that good news is important and worth absorbing, and physically flipping the pages of a print newspaper makes that so much more tangible and impactful."

Booderee National Park in Australia installed a four-kilometre-long conservation fence at the gardens last November. The fence was part of a project to reintroduce eastern quolls.
However, the fence obstructed the migration of eastern long-necked turtles between water sources. To address this, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Australia installed nine water-filled tunnels under the fence.
The tunnels are two-meter-long and 70-centimeter-deep with a design that resembles a bathtub, a swim-through system to deter foxes and quolls from entering. Over 123 days of monitoring, 73 turtles successfully used the tunnels, with no sightings of foxes or quolls.
"Sometimes our actions to protect one species can have unintended consequences for others...it's nice to know both the quolls and turtles will be happy," WWF Australia's rewilding program manager Rob Brewster commented.

My town does local fishing derbies fairly often. All the catches are cleaned and given to hungry families in need. Those with kids and the homeless shelter are prioritized. We have some really amazing local kids who are surprisingly good fishers and they’re always so happy to help.

"TOWT’s first sailboat, Anemos, was christened in Le Havre in late October 2024 after completing its transatlantic journey. It is the flagship of eight units ordered by TOWT. Anemos has been described as “the world’s largest” sailing cargo ship in modern history, using advanced sailing technology derived from ocean racing to decarbonize shipping."

Does the savings in fuel make up for the longer shipping time, more wages for the crew, and reduced volume of goods? If wind power were economically feasible we'd never see those massive container ships. This strikes me as a gimmick. I doubt that Rudolph Saade will trade in his cargo vessels.

My parents do NOT sleep in and haven’t since I was in elementary school. They both insist on being up between 5-6 every single day regardless of when they went to bed because they think it’s makes them sound lazy to sleep in any later. Meanwhile I love heading to bed around 11-12 at night and sleeping in until 8-9 on weekends 🥰 and then waking up slow and enjoying my coffee and kitty snuggles. I genuinely don’t care if that makes me sound lazy because it makes me so happy 🥰

Once there was a mild emergency and they didn’t get home until almost 2:00am. When I got up for work around 6:30 the next morning my mom was sitting at the table like a miserable exhausted zombie after only 3 hours of sleep, insisting to herself that she was doing the responsible thing even though she had no work or major plans that day 😂 I was like mom, go back to bed and get the rest you actually need. This is unhealthy.

Actually there are plenty of children who cannot, it's also just not as good for them and if the kid had any health or immune issues then breast milk is best.

Another NHS linked charity won a BAFTA Special Achievement last Su day. They provide a cinema at hospitals for sick kids and other patients at certain hospitals. I’ve used the one at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. It’s a great charity.

The Starlight Foundation in Australia do similar things, including a playroom with toys and games. The siblings of patients can use them too, so my sister and brother used one often when we were spending days visiting our other brother in icu in 2004.

Good! Vaping helped me quit cigarettes and I got a lot of my taste and smell and lung capacity back. Now I’m working on quitting vaping 🥲 addiction is such a frustrating bug in our mental programming lol

I am hoping the bans in Australia have a similar effect, rather than just increasing the illegal trade. Victoria has already been subject to at least two years of arson attacks from gangs involved in the illegal tobacco trade which has led to some deaths of innocent people. The latest because the attacker 'got the wrong address'!

David Jones, 64, of Boiling Springs, SC, was on his way to his daughter Elizabeth's wedding when Hurricane Helene hit. What should have been a two-hour drive turned into a 12-hour odyssey. David encountered numerous obstacles including downed trees, power lines, and washed-out roads. Undeterred by official warnings, he decided to continue on foot. + He braved mud, debris, and dangerous conditions, relying on the kindness of strangers for rides when possible. + Against all odds, David arrived at the church just in time to walk his daughter down the aisle. "He's a very special man, and he has very special love for us," Elizabeth commented. "He would go to the ends of the earth for us — come hell or high water — and he did that."

It's the people that ignore warnings that often have to be saved in these situations. I'm not sure this is such a good news story. Not saying he didn't demonstrate his love for his daughter, but I'm not sure this was the best thing to do. It could have had a much worse ending.

Why on earth wouldn't you delay the wedding until after a hurricane? Instead they risk the lives of family d friends? AHs. This makes me *lose* faith in humanity.

I sure the hope they've come up with some kind of plan to separate the birthdays, it seems cute when they're young but when they get older they're definitely going to want their own celebration.

One thing AI is actually good at, is recognizing patterns that humans might not notice, like what a cancer cell looks like as opposed to a normal cell.

That's the thing about AI. It has its good uses, and of course a human is going to check after to confirm its results, so it helps where humans may miss things. AI should definitely be used for this, rather than """art"""
Huddo's sister 9 months ago
This is good to hear. I saw a report a week or so ago about how the traditional method of detecting cancer isn't the best one, as sometimes the abnormal cells are too small or the image is unable to distinguish them in denser breast tissue. People are advocating for MRI to be used for people with denser breasts.

and to think it was all down to one family and done right out in the open, even being traded on the stock market and they dont even go to jail? they are responsible for more merican deaths than all the illegal d***s combined and they walk free with their billions of dollars in blood money.
