An image showing a graphic titled “TRUMP APPROVAL RATING” with the AP and NORC at the University of Chicago logos. The results read: “APPROVE 37%” and “DISAPPROVE 61%.” At the bottom, small text notes the survey was conducted October 9–13 with 1,289 adults. A photo of Donald Trump in a dark suit and red tie appears on the left side of the image.

This is great work, America but I know we can do better.

This is a great idea and I'm going to get a few next time I'm in the bookstore. Some other great ideas for books to distribute in the comments, too!

CDC Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Transmission Between Cats and People (Gift Article) The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished.

Very intense summary of what's going on from @timothysnyder.bsky.social I will quote from toward the end, though, on what to do:

"Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I'm in two book clubs, then there's the "just for myself" book, then an audio book for workouts and chores... and sometimes an anthology I'm paging through.
