I honestly think more people should read/listen to this. It‘s eye opening how social media is being used to manipulate what we see/hear and how that influences us. It sounds conspiracy theory like but MR has exhaustive research and examples of when and how the public is manipulated using ‘stories‘ and algorithms. I understand why 🇨🇦 gov‘t blocked news being on FB and IG but the stupid shit is still getting through so it‘s a half assed attempt

Sace I‘m stacking this. 3d
mcctrish @Sace I have completely over simplified what this book entails in my post because it covers sooo much ground but everything that happened on the Philippines/Indonesia is happening here ( first world countries) now or about to : it‘s a cautionary tale 2d

Snow White bag #8 bed time for 5/7 dwarves, Snow White is reading Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach to them. This book is blowing my mind and illuminating some stuff I ignored irl. Facebook is the devil, as is Zuckerberg

Aimeesue At first glance I thought this was a hospital triage scene and that first guy had been impaled by a pickaxe 😂 6d
mcctrish @Aimeesue absolutely don‘t know how impaling hasn‘t run rampant with this group so far 🤣 6d

This was a fantastic read to follow up a trip to the Philippines for work. I loved the impetus to find out more about the pre-WWII colonial interactions between the US and PI, and the twisty integration of the past into the present through the lens of a modern filmmaker, as well as the way the past is never quite clear really worked for me. Really drives home the issues of how who tells a story determines what truths we learn from it.

Larkken Isn‘t one of the geographic challenges groups doing SE Asia or Oceania next year? This could be a good choice for the Philippines for those that play. Would love to see what others who‘ve read it think. 4mo
Larkken This is the historical event discussed/portrayed by a film in the book: https://philippines.michiganintheworld.history.lsa.umich.edu/s/exhibit/page/the-... and the pic is a portrait of the one woman involved in the Balangiga event, and which the author got permission to use for the cover art. 4mo
SaunteringVaguelyDownwards This could be a good read for my World Literature class! Stacked. 4mo

Audio cooking today! It‘s my day off work today so, even though it‘s warmer today than it has been recently, I‘m making homemade chili! My husband has been begging me to make it since the first sign of fall was in the air.
I really like this audio book so far but have had a little trouble keeping up with the multiple characters since they aren‘t separated by chapters.

3.5⭐️ There were aspects of the book that I liked, but there were also aspects that I didn‘t enjoy. I also felt that the book read slower than I expected. #2023 #bookclub #wwii #pacificwar #fiction #historicalfiction #bookreview
