    Watch now   Major Sunday Updates!! So Much Good News!! Aaron Parnas Sep 27 Good morning, everyone. As promised, our Sunday tradition continues: another weekly good news update. Share one piece of good news from your week in the comments, and pass this along so someone else can join in too. I’ve got two pieces of good news this week. On the personal side, my daughter started crawling, and honestly, nothing in the news cycle this week came close to how exciting that was to watch. On the professional side, we’ve now been the number one news Substack in the world for more than eighteen consecutive months, and our growth is actually accelerating this year as we reach more households every week. We are also working on another big investigation, so stay tuned. At a time when TikTok and other platforms are actively censoring my work, and much of the media landscape keeps drifting closer to power instead of further from it, I’m proud to remain fully independent.

Cyanide bombs: Deadly, cruel, and hidden on public lands

  One moment, a curious wolf pup is nosing through the undergrowth, following the scent of something delicious ... and the next, she's convulsing on the ground in immense pain, unable to draw a breath. This is what happens when a wolf is lured toward a hidden cyanide bomb. Within minutes, this wolf may asphyxiate and die. But earlier this year, the Bureau of Land Management lifted their ban on cyanide bombs, opening up our public lands to be strewn with these deadly, poisonous traps. 1 Here's why we need to ban cyanide bombs for goo d: These bombs function as spring-loaded traps, often coated in some kind of bait to lure animals. Once a critter gets too close, the trap releases a cloud of poisonous cyanide powder. That poison doesn't just kill wolves outright -- it makes it impossible for them to breathe, leading to several minutes of intense suffering before death. 2 These deadly traps don't just target wolves. They'll poison any living thing unlucky enough to stu...

  “I’ll Be There For You” A Reason To Smile Dan Rather and Team Steady Sep 27 Credit: Getty Images The theme song for the hit sitcom “Friends” is a famous earworm for a reason. It is an infectious, upbeat anthem to friendship. We were reminded of “I’ll Be There For You” because the show, which ran for ten seasons on NBC, premiered 32 years ago this week. The song and its famous hand claps are this week’s reason to smile. It is hard to believe that it’s been more than three decades since Chandler, Joey, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, and Ross over-caffeinated at Central Perk, and three decades since we first heard The Rembrandts’ theme song, which was an accidental hit for the duo. “Friends” creators David Crane and Marta Kauffman originally asked the band R.E.M. to use their ode to happiness, “Shiny Happy People,” for the theme song. When the creators got turned down, they decided to write their own song with the help of professional songwriter Alee Willis. Crane and Kauffman said they l...
