I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Fix the News yet (https://fixthenews.com/). If you want a weekly boost of amazing news from around the world, sign up for this newsletter!

For example, did you know that in July 2025, 99.7% of new power capacity added in the US was from clean power (led by Texas)? The EU, US, and UK have committed to a $125 billion global fund to protect the Amazon? The US prison population is the lowest it's been since 1992? A new therapy has successfully cleared 100% of metastatic cancers in trial patients? 1 in 8 kids in Botswana were born with HIV in 2001, but that number has dropped to 1 in 100?

These headlines rarely make the mainstream, but they're the ones that bring me the most hope and joy. If you're looking for positive news, you will love Fix the News.

Surprised? An email subscription box with almost zero information, no example publication or past issues for perusal, unknown subscription or payment model, multiple multi-page privacy policies... I'm surprised any of the target audience of people burned out by the shit that most media has become would assume it is legit and not going to burn you in some way.

If you close the subscription modal almost all of their content is available. This is a good example of their content: https://fixthenews.com/p/ftn-309-colours-of-the-moon-wash

This points to a Substack UI/UX problem.

If a first time visitor to Substack doesn't know this, it's a bad experience.
