Thx for the news updates. 
1) Personally, I would have liked you to lead with the last item, cawthorne trial. It's a positive news story, a nice way to lead off. I was pleased to see that headline. I fear there are fewer positive stories, and most will be negative or disheartening (with our GOPQ state supreme court and assorted GOPQ NC "representatives"
. I understand you closed with something positive, perhaps you could start and end with something good, put the bad crap in the middle?!
2) how often do you plan or anticipate posting headlines? It would be nice to have a weekly thing, or biweekly, maybe special announcements sometimes.
3) some of these headlines might spur their own discussion thread. If you, as op want to address or discuss a particular headline, I think you could either mention it in the post or start a separate thread. No strong opinion.
Thanks for putting this together.
