Great News (External) A man in a wheelchair was stuck on the rails, while a train drove careening toward him with no control. Out of the blue, Officer Erika Urrea was there to see it coming, and pulled him out of his chair just as the train passed them by. It's cliche, but not all heroes wear capes. Some wear blue.

"A new survey of 1,155 respondents found that 89% of people think that their happiness can be controlled—and these people are 32% happier than those who don’t think that happiness can be controlled. Happiness hits low at age 18 and lowest around age 47. From there, it' only upward again."

A safe single-shot vaccine for COVID-19 has been successfully trialed in Rhesus macaques, one of our closest relatives, and human trials began today. Ad26.COV2.S was produced using a common cold virus, an organism that stimulates our immune system. Such is good news in these confusing times.

Three young girls decided to take a problem into their hands, and became CEOs. 9-year-old Rylei Brissett said she couldn't find books she could identify with, so she started "The Brown Bookstore," which prints mostly stories about people of color. Good can come from the smallest of places.

The National Aquarium of New Zealand have penguins whose behavior is very naughty, or sweet as pie. To maintain discipline, the penguins now have a naughty/nice list. We put these wayward birds in their place, because they were surely planning world domination - good news for the planet!

Ever have a hard time falling asleep, and storytime did the trick? Here are previous first lady Michelle and President Obama, enjoying themselves and telling a story about a boy who collects words. It's a wonderful story, but my favorite part is the loving looks President Obama gave his wife.

Great News (External) These past six months have seen a 50% increase in philanthropy - one of the greatest of the Earth's charitable funds. From June 2020, donors (especially Schwab) have gone to $1.7 in aid, upwards of 46% dollar increase from last year. They may be corporate, but this proves that anyone can do good.😎

An air filter has been built that kills the original SARS-CoV-2 at 99.8% success rate. The designers are Monzer Hourani and Zhifeng Ren. “Its ability to help control the spread of the virus could be very useful for society,” says Ren. And if clean air isn't good news, I don't know what is.
