66 Good News Stories You Didn't Hear About in 2023
Let’s kick off the year with some good news about last year. Still, I’m glad 2023 is over.
Why Substack is at a crossroads
The War in Ukraine Is Not a Stalemate
Russia started the war against Ukraine almost two years ago. The West needs to be constantly reminded that this is a war against liberty and Western values. We have to help the Ukrainians as much as we can and then some.
Everyone is on their phones. But is it really phone addiction we’re experiencing?
No, it’s not. But we all still have to get used to this connected gadgets in our hands. On related news, I recently read two paper books and I could hardly put them away.
Get real and read some history. The past was worse.
Well, yes. And still we should do everything we can to make the future brighter.
That’s it. Have a great start into 2024! And remember to go paid!
