Welcome back to our weekly behind-the-scenes glimpse at what’s getting our team talking. Let us know what you think at info@reasonstobecheerful.world. This solar-powered life Joshua Spodek has been living off-grid in a Greenwich Village apartment for over a year, gleaning what power he needs from four solar panels he constantly recharges. It’s a unique lifestyle choice to make in the middle of a bustling city, as the New York Times points out in a story about Spodek that RTBC Contributing Editor Michaela Haas shared this week.  Spodek doesn’t expect that many others will make the drastic choices that he’s made, but he challenges people to make at least one change to live more sustainably. “The first thing that people do is not that important to me,” he told the Times. “It’s the mind-set shift. Is it intrinsically rewarding? Because then people will do more.” Michaela says:   I love stories about people who go all the way. Real news Being able to tell fact from fiction is a vital skill in today’s information-packed landscape — and skills can be taught. In Finland, learning to recognize hoaxes, propaganda and other kinds of disinformation is part of the school curriculum, CBS News reports in a video shared by Executive Editor Will Doig. Will says:   It’s starting to become clear how disinformation influenced the US election. In Finland public schools teach media literacy to kids as early as fourth grade to help them identify untrustworthy news.

The results are in! People magazine’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive is John Krasinski. The publication announced its winner on November 13th. John is the 39th man to take the title since Mel Gibson earned the inaugural crown in 1985. And while many of us saw it coming, he was absolutely shocked. When he heard the news, he had an “immediate blackout.” While chatting with People, John admitted that he had “zero thoughts” when he got the call. “Other than maybe I’m being punked,” he joked. “That’s not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I’ll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet, it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me.” John Krasinski added that he wasn’t the only one “excited” to learn that People had dubbed him the Sexiest Man Alive. His wife, actress Emily Blunt, was equally as thrilled. “There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her,” he said. Before he found out, Emily had vowed to wallpaper their home with his cover photo if he won. Now that he has, he’s not so sure his daughters, Hazel, 10, and Violet, 8, will appreciate the sentiment.  “My children will love that,” he joked. “It won’t be weird at all.” John Krasinski’s Wife Is Celebrating His Sexiest Man Alive Title John is most known for playing the dreamy prankster Jim Halpert in The Office and the title hero in Jack Ryan. He’s also the man behind and in front of the camera in A Quiet Place and If. But his most cherished successes are his marriage and family. “It’s that beautiful thing where when you’re married to someone, you’re constantly learning and changing and evolving. And I’m so lucky to go through all that with her,” he said of his relationship with Emily, whom he married in 2010. “I think it’s going to make me do more household chores,” he added with a laugh. “After this comes out, she’ll be like, ‘All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home.’” This story’s featured image is by Gotham/FilmMagic via Getty.
