Dock Braun:
I find myself, often, wanting to share an article, or a few, that not about anything very serious or urgent, but that was a delight to read---maybe informative on some bigger topic, but over-all, something well written, that's interesting to think about. Something like Lenore Skenazy's 2021-03-08 Reason magazine article about a Japanese app that maps the popularity of children's' public play areas---marketed to those who'd like to avoid the noisy neighborhoods, but useful for families to plan towards child-friendlier locales. For context: Japan is known for trusting it's children to roam free, as early as possible, as well as trusting it's parents, to know when it's appropriate to start.

Thrillho:
I think this forum has needed a thread like this to be fair. Is it overlapping too much with the Good News! thread, I ask the court?

hedgie:
I don’t think so, since this would permit more “fluff” than I think that the “Good News” would.

Dock Braun:
I agree with hedgie. I was thinking more about shorter literature, of a nonfictional tendency, that are primarily fun to read, whether or not they are presenting News, whether or not that news is Good. I had thought, first, of the Headlines thread, but there, is a semblance of greater importance. Here, that's a tertiary concern: ENJOY

Thrillho:
Sounds great to me!
