Because we a bunch of bad news ninnies in these parts these days.. figured it was time for a thread of positivity. And since A Ray Of Sunshine and Some Good News were already taken. I present "The Bright Spots"
Hopefully, everyone has already seen the story about the guy who sheltered 70+ protesters the other night in DC.
Yesterday, VA State Rep Danica Roem and all around bad ass helped raise 15K to help rebuild Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Gainesville. Church was set on fire by an arsonist in 2012.

Sort of in the grey area of positivity, but I enjoyed seeing certain entities getting dragged over their participation in yesterday #blackouttuesday event. namely The Redskins, The SF Giants and ESPN. I'm sure there were others...
Bonus it appears that The Bright Spots is available for any aspiring Power Pop band.

Getting a second stimulus check!!
I mean that would be a thing if it were happening any time soon, but there's no consensus on the Hill, and Trump and McConnell have called the House bill dead-on-arrival. Have you heard anything different?
on edit: it would help if I read the other thread about this before commenting here

Saw the capitalization in the title and saw the topic starter and I was certain this was going to be about a side project by members of The Magic Numbers.

I think they're opening for the White Stripes in 2021.

I went to the howard county protest yesterday in my car. I have been in isolation because of asthma, and was sad to not be out there walking with everyone. There were SO MANY people there, both walking and in cars. It was inspiring to see so many young people. It made me hopeful that change will happen.

And since A Ray Of Sunshine and Some Good News were already taken.
FYI Krasinski has sold Some Good News (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/john-krasinskis-some-good-news-sells-viacomcbs-massive-bidding-war-1295491).
so i'm not buying into your hype, kosmo. you're going to get us all amped on Good News, next thing you know we're your serotonin junkies, and then you sell us out to some multinational media corporation. you get all the money, we're left with sold-out empty dreams. no thanks.

Fauci says the vaccine is on it's way. Will it get here before the second stimulus check?

I'd put it on a pike and put it in front of your house as a warning to all other deer
-
Well we did that..threw it in garbage bag and put in garbage can outside
But we had concerns about rabies or something so we called animal control

Barring something unexpected in the vote on 7/1, all the other RVA Monument Ave statues (sans Arthur Ashe, presumably) are coming down too.
This is huge.

It seems like you know me better than I do. Because I didn't know quite what i do.
My wife says i would have been too lazy to call animal control. So i guess i probably would have bagged it up and let it sit for 48 hours and off it goes with Friday's trash pickup.

Really annoying for those of us who have paid since day one. Disgusting to think I’m sharing the service with unwashed ruffians who have never even attended a symposium on Eric Rohmer’s Six Moral Tales or subscribed to Cahiers du Cinema.

this is the kind of prejudice and "Julian's America First" attitude we're all fighting right now.

And I appreciate your efforts! Wait, you meant to type “fighting for,” yes?

i was so consumed by my righteous anger that i forgot to add an "against" after "fighting". mea culpa.

This is works for me and is in the vein of DC calling the part of 16th street "Black Lives Matter Plaza"
Activists in Glasgow have plastered alternative names for the some of the city’s most famous streets which are currently named after plantation owners
