It's interesting to see how people see diversity in books on Storygraph.
There's no right or wrong answer. Some count only primary characters, some count disabled and LGBTQ+ characters, some count having a variety of ages.
It's fascinating to see the breakdown.

BritBox is getting Sense and Sensibility (Ang Lee version with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet). This is great, because I can't watch the DVD on my computer and it's one of my favorite movies.

Women are increasingly disenchanted with Republicans and conservative thinking, so instead of addressing their concerns, the GOP is turning to the SAVE Act, in an attempt to keep them from voting.

While I was unsuccessful in removing all of the snow blocking the car in, I had cleared a path behind it, putting all excavated snow to the side.
The people parked behind us threw all of their snow on the path I made. I'm still in pain from the shoveling and they dumped their snow over my progress.

This is why Democrats need to compete EVERYWHERE.
We won’t win every race, but it’s stupid and irresponsible to simply forfeit certain races to incumbents. Always but especially now, we need competitive elections. And at the bare minimum, make them spend money defending seats they had won by 17 pts

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

"It's okay to want to be thin" opinion pieces aren't a rejoinder to a prominent thread of popular discourse critiquing thinness. That doesn't currently exist at scale in mainstream media. They're a self-soothing message, a preemptive defense to an imagined criticism.

Abolishing ICE should be easy. ICE hasn't been around that long, and anything it does that ought to be done can be passed along to other agencies or institutions.
The Border Patrol has been around for 101 years, and it should probably also be torn down and its useful functions rebuilt from scratch.

👀 Looks like the husband of the woman ICE abducted called his lawyer, lawyer called the cops, then the police chief went and got her & took her home
Article says it may be the first time local Minnesota PD "intervened in a federal law enforcement action" since Trump started terrorizing the state

![Screenshot from the quote skeeted article reading as follows:
The husband told MPR News that after his wife was taken into custody, he called his attorney, and soon after, he got a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he said he has known for years.
“I was talking to him, kind of venting some of my frustrations,” the man said, adding that he urged the chief to have his officers just be more visible during the federal enforcement actions. “If [local police] were present and they could see you, I promise you their behavior more than likely, or hopefully, would, you know, be appropriate and law abiding.”
The husband says he talked to the chief for a while and “we had a good conversation.”
“He asked me, ‘what was your wife's name’? I told him my wife's name. He said, ‘was she picked up in a bronco?’ And I said, ‘I'm not sure, but it was an SUV, dark colored. I'd have to look at my video.’ He goes, ‘I think I got her. I'll call you back’.”
The husband said a few minutes later, the chief called again, “and said, I got her or I'm bringing her home.”
“I was just so relieved that she got released and was able to come home,” he said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjklbsuepdppuppsfluytydl/bafkreigyienimomaibubdhiar3ijsvfacklpw2tqbnjnbphxenb5yvegk4@jpeg)
