Subscribe to the home screen: a newsletter to brighten up your inbox

Hello, internet. It’s your friend TC, executive editor and blogger at The edge.

The new coronavirus has spread quickly across the U.S., obscuring our daily lives, and it’s only getting worse. While it’s important to keep enough information to keep up with the pandemic, even a little bit can feel overwhelming. That’s why my colleagues at The edge, who are all stuck at home, having happy hours through Zoom, playing live streamed cooking classes and playing remotely Mario Kart tournaments. The things we love about the internet are more important than ever.

Today I announce my own little love letter on the internet: a new newsletter called Home Screen, which I will send every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It is filled with fun links, fun internet events and other curiosities from the World Wide Web. It is not quite Upworthybut I really hope it will be uplifting – something to brighten up our screens while we are at home.

And for those of you who are not fixed at home – thanks to the Amazon and Walmart employees, the UPS drivers, the grocers from the supermarket and all the medical professionals on the front line.
