John Krasinski's Some Good News Twitter account will brighten your timeline

Each day in the coronavirus era seems to bring forth a whole new avalanche of distressing news. It can be extremely difficult to stay positive and remember that there's good in the world during troubling times, so John Krasinski made it his mission to help remind people.

After asking his Twitter followers to share positive life updates using the hashtag #SomeGoodNews, the Quiet Place mastermind best known for his role as Jim Halpert on The Office launched Some Good News, a "news network for good news," which he hosts on YouTube.

In the first episode, which was uploaded March 29, Krasinski shared a variety of heartwarming stories and even chatted with his former on-screen boss, Steve Carell, about The Office.
