What a strange publication (and name...) apparently funded by the Walton family and started by musician David Byrne? https://reasonstobecheerful.world/supporters-and-affiliates/

This is fascinating, they're linked to the Arbutus Foundation (founded by David Byrne) which reported almost $850k in revenue in 2023. Seems like quite a few of big donors are involved. Some of their other affiliates also have major donors (such as the Solutions Journalism Network). https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/831...
