Attack from Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America | Barbara McQuade

pick

Three days in and I'm already behind. The best book I read in February was the tagged. Released in February 2024, this talks about disinformation and how it is harming America. Reading it in February 2025, if felt like too little too late and was infuriating, but the sort of book I recommended to those who showed interest in learning more and weren't chronically online like I was/ am.

Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves | Alison Wood Brooks

Overdue library book that I need to put on hold so I can continue reading soon 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anybody else have this issue? 🤓

Octoberwoman Our library no longer charges late fees and automatically renews books not returned by the due date. Which has been very beneficial to me. 2w

BookishMarginalia @Octoberwoman So does our library, but somebody else is waiting for this book, so back it will go for someone else to enjoy for a few weeks 🤓 2w

bailed

I had to DNF. There were a couple of things early on that gave me pause, but I kept going. Then we arrived at the "our society is divided and mean because we stopped teaching morality in schools" and I knew this wasn't for me.

vlwelser @TheBookHippie there's also a pink one. They come as a set. Obviously blue shark is more realistic and therefore better 4mo

AmyG Awesome!!!! 4mo

vlwelser @Susanita thankfully no. The early morning crowd at work probably doesn't even acknowledge the existence of a shark song. They're more likely to bust out the Jaws theme. 4mo
