Sad, but often true. The good news is that it's often the exception that makes the rule. :D

The bad news is events don't often read the rules.

True. The good news is that once in a great while they might at least accidently they might appear to. :)

^^^ The bad news is that my sentence posted yesterday was sure written poorly. Sorry. :(

The good news is, people are capable of self-correction.

The bad news is that many don't bother. :(

The good news is,t hat leaves rooms for Dom(mes) to administer correction.

The bad news is that sometimes the cure may be worse than the problem.

The good news is, I see no downside to this.

The bad news is that maybe we're just waiting to hear what it is. :shrug:

In other news, the good news is that recent rains have brought some significant relief to the Australian brushfires.

The bad news is that there is still a ways to go. :(

The good news is this comparaison from a friend's blog, who maintains a "quote of the day" file:

Worth noting for comparison, wombats in ordinary circumstances: "Wombats defend home territories centred on their burrows, and they react aggressively to intruders." -- Wikipedia

"wombats in fire effected areas are not only allowing other animals to take shelter in their deep, fire-resistant burrows but are actively herding fleeing animals into them. We're seeing more leadership and empathy from these guys than the entire Federal government." -- Riff Raff (@RichardAOB), 2020-01-11

...which I suppose the last sentence is just the bad news, as well. OTOH, the good news there, is that the last statement might just be cynical hyperbole.

The bad news is that while some progress has been made in fighting the Aussie fires, they still are very serious.

The good news (for me, at least), is that I now have work four days a week at my paying job.

That's good for two thumbs up! :thumbs: The bad news is … I can't find any bad news in that. :shrug:

Da bad ol' news is that we don't just have good ol' news all da time.

The good news is, we have better technology to find the news we want.

The bad news is that there's too much bad news. :(

The good news is, we can all be newsmakers by going out and making good news.

Da' bad news is all da telebisions and papers n' stuff keep spoutin' all da bad stuff.

The good news is that you can turn off the TV and cancel the newspapers.

The bad news is, I had hoped to be posting this good news:
https://abcnews.go.com/US/meet-hans...ory?id=68407124

But I suppose that means, the bad news is, there are still illegal dog fighting rings in North America.

The good news was that article and video clip! I'd give it two thumbs up!

The bad news is, having given it two thumbs up, now you're missing both your thumbs.

The good news is that … hmmm … it's …. no that's not right … maybe .. I know … no news is good news. Yeah, that's it. :D

The bad news is that monsters under the bed may be real-who else would have eaten your thumbs?

Ya' joshin' us aincha? Dat would shore be bad news. Betch da good news is dat it just did not happen. (I's hope anywho.)

The bad news is that … well, I do still have my thumbs … but … sometimes when I'm working on things it feels like I'm all thumbs. :(

The good news is, even with all thumbs, you can still manipulate tools.

The bad news is when some of them are hand-held. All thumbs makes for clumsy grips. :D

The good news is, you can try practicing "manipulating" things with your toes.

Da bad nuz is my big ol' tosies wiggle but dey don't do dat manipulatin' stuff too gud.

The good news is, one of my ex-g/fs, when she was a teenager, spent the entire summer learning to flip people off with her toes.

And yes, by the time I started dating her, she had retained that abilitym (mumble) years later.

The bad news could be how you'd land. :yikes: JK

Gud ol' newes is dat da' weather is behavin' quite nice fer a couple days around here.

The bad news … locally at least … is that tomorrow we're back down into the 30's for a high. :(

The good news is, it's winter, and that's the way things should be for the moment.

The bad news is that … well … you're right. It is that time of year.

The good news is, although we are in the coldest time of the year in North America, the trend is to warmer weather.
