I thought this was a well thought out, and addressed many issues that are normally just covered by AI BAD!

Hundreds plunge in Chicago River for first official swim in nearly 100 years Group participates in previously unthinkable mile-long swim after US made key progress to clean polluted rivers

Some 300 swimmers looped through downtown Chicago in the first official river swim since 1927, a milestone made possible by decades of cleanup, starting with the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and Clean Water Act in the 1970s. buff.ly/QiC1WZD

I just started Rivers of London last year. I'm really enjoying it. ( Trying to only do a book a month).
I especially like that it's set in an area of London I've spent time in.

Books 58.
Storygraph is missing some. It's difficult to keep Storygraph and GoodReads up to date.

CD or MP3 versions of new book seem to be impossible to get.
Only streaming options. 😠

Hear me out booksky.
Create a tool to save the posted book, picture or text, to a tbr pile list.
Perhaps a special tag?
Then we could add it to Storygraph, or just save it as a document.

Under the GOP's SAVE Act, Tribal IDs would NO LONGER be accepted as valid identification to register to vote.

This is a direct attack on the voting rights of Native American communities.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.

In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.

Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.
