How stories are chosen

Every headline pulled from our feeds is run through an automated positivity filter. Only stories that clearly make the reader feel better about the world, humanity, or the future make it to the site. Scientific breakthroughs, cures, kindness, underdog wins, recovering ecosystems - these are the kinds of stories you should expect to see here.

Stories that are factual but emotionally flat, or that bury something positive inside a meaningfully negative context, are filtered out. So is celebrity gossip. So are stock market wins not tied to broader progress. Praise traded between politicians is filtered unless the underlying thing being praised is itself good news.

Links go directly to the original publisher. We do not rehost, rewrite, or generate news copy.

The filter is not perfect. If a story slips through that does not feel positive to you, that is a real signal - email us and we will tighten the standard.
