There's an old saying in the news and that's, 'If it bleeds, it leads.' And having spent some time now covering news and the people who supposedly WRITE about the news I can tell you from firsthand experience, this is true.
I can also tell you that covering the anger and negativity 24/7 can wear even on us tough, snarky, cynical, cold-hearted Twitchy editor types. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of joy to be had in pointing and laughing at stupid, horrible people on the Left but even I need something warm and fuzzy every once in a while.
And no, don't even start with the, 'That's what she said,' snark ... ok, if you want go ahead, it's Friday.
This 'wholesome thread' is so lovely, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
It's time to cleanse your timeline with this wholesome thread 🧵

The wold is indeed healing. You can feel it everywhere you go right now ... after the election, people are just lighter, happier, and more optimistic. Almost as if we needed the last horrible four years as a reminder of what we do and do not want.

Keep going.

Also, there is a lot more to this thread, and I could encourage you to take a moment if you're on X and check it out.
We spend plenty of time worrying and being sad and angry, maybe we should spend a little more time being happy, feeling loved, and celebrating the good in all of us.
Just sayin'.
