Good News: We bring it, we make it.
The Good Gnus group is a community of readers, writers, activists, supporters, community builders, and patriots. We begin gathering every day at 7 a.m. ET to celebrate national good news. Our most active members are of course a subgroup of members of Daily Kos, whose Front Pages celebrate “News, Community, Action.” However, you don’t have to be a member of Daily Kos to be a Gnusie.
We are realists, not fools, idiots, or ostriches. We know we live in a world where active, nefarious, and evil decision-makers do very bad things, slow testing, withhold medical supplies, and create stress and anxiety in us, our loved ones, our friends, our neighbors, our allies, and destroy people and systems we hold dear, yet we choose to focus on the good news that people create around the country. Sometimes we ourselves create Good News. Together we are strong and resilient. We return regularly to these pages to revitalize.
The state House and Senate both approved a resolution to suspend legislative deadlines and introduce a bill to have a commission redesign the 126-year-old state flag. Debate on that is expected on Sunday and it's expected to pass.
Republican Gov. Tate Reeves says he'll sign it into law.
NotNowNotEver: How to Cast Shade
In his informative and meta Evening Shade on Tuesday, NotNowNotEver explained many ways to create snark. In the process of ‘splainin, he offers homage to the founder of Good News Roundups series, Professor GoodNewsRoundup (yes, we know it’s confusing), AKA Goodie. Immediately after Voting Day in November 2016, she started posting Roundups virtually every day, and she continues encouraging us lifting us ranting posting every Saturday.
A fair number of folks (five, I think) have been asking me how I keep doing this day after day. I can walk you through my process.
A. Pick out the burr that’s giving you the most grief….
B. Identify the person(s) most responsible for the outrageous thing we are focused on….
C. Look at that person’s character traits….
D. Choose a voice to use and work on the point you want to make.
The no holds barred rant (aka the drunken Goodie) — There’s no effing way that effing pigeffer ever effing effs us effing again with his effing continuous effing effups of effing every effing thing. Eff him and his effing horse’s effing effed up saddle for effing sticking his effing eff nose the eff out of his mothereffing effer bunker. Effing seal the mothereffer effing shut with effing tRump effing inside.
We’re very lucky to have NotNowNotEver on our side. Not only does he post Roundups for us on alternate Tuesdays, he’s posted Evening Shades every day since November 9, 2019, 232 consecutive days! So please fire up your clicker and visit him every night at 7:30 p.m. ET if you can. Dear Man on a Mission: Hercules has nothing on you. Please keep taking your vitamins.
