First five topics on The Guardian's website right now:
1) heatwave sears Europe (translation: climate change is here)
2) migrant crisis: 150 dead in shipwreck off the coast of Libya
3) Brexit
4) Amazon deforestation accelerating to unrecoverable 'tipping point' (translation: climate change is getting a ton worse real fast)
5) US justice department resumes use of death penalty, schedules several executions
I would like to keep up with the news. I also would want my news source to be at least halfway substantial, to avoid falling into the "look at these adorable puppies" fluffiness sinkhole (that's what Twitter is for). But this is just too damn depressing for me.
Where do you get your non-depressing news of substance from these days? Or is the current state of politics so dire that there is no substantial non-depressing news, and I should just sod it and go to the nearest pub?
