A (long) good read here.
It is easy to feel despair and doom and gloom because there are plenty of terrible things happening.
But important, great things are also out there, they just don't make the headlines.
Here is a round up of the good stuff from 2025, and an excuse for hope in things getting better despite it all.

All the news the headlines missed in 2025.

Just finished watching the show "Humans" about synths and people.
Today is also MLK Day, and it made me realize something deep. We have something that machines do not have: we have the power to love.
In my Resonant Life OS, I talk about moving from "Force" to "Power." A machine can use force. But Dr. King showed us that true Power comes from "unarmed truth and unconditional love." This is the "Math of Love" where 1+1=11.
He worked to build what he called the "Beloved Community." This is a system where everyone is respected and love wins. It is the most unbreakable system there is.
When we treat each other with deep respect, we are using our best "Software." We are showing that our humanity is more than just data. It is a living, breathing energy that no machine can copy.
Today, I am grateful for the "Humanity" in all of us. Let's keep our internal systems set to Love.

1/2 🇺🇸 Be the change. The blueprint from the Civil Rights Movement.
🎙️ “With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., The Other America, Stanford University, April 14, 1967
🇺🇸When I feel despair, I remember Dr. King and the countless civil rights activists—both known and unsung—who peacefully fought for justice, equality and human rights.
#UnifiedPush is on everybody's lips when it comes to #decentralization or #deGoogle or wanting to cut off #BigTech from your live.
But did you know how it was started? How many times its destiny intersected with #FDroid ?
