November 28, 2025
Painting a pedestrian crossing is cheap and easy. A group of neighbours can paint an entire intersection in one morning for US$100 or less. Getting the city of Los Angeles to do it, on the other hand, might take 14 years and the death of a nine-year-old boy. Across LA, neighbours are banding together to paint crossings to protest the city’s failure to protect people crossing the street.

About World Half Full
More and more people are turning away from the news. In a 2017 survey conducted by the Reuters Institute, around half the respondents (48%) said they avoided news because it had a negative effect on their mood. Is it any wonder? So much of it is polarising, divisive, disruptive, bombastic, antagonistic and SHOUTY! The 24/7 scroll of negativity is corrosive to the soul. It leaves us stressed, anxious, fearful, depressed, disempowered, and often exhausted. WorldHalfFull offers an antidote to this angst.
