PowerandCorruption

Lessons in Chemistry: A Novel | Bonnie Garmus

Scientist Elizabeth Zott faces #PowerandCorruption in the lab and the TV industry in the 1950s & 60s as men take credit for her work and threaten her attempts to change the status quo. Almost finished with this #LMPBC selection chosen by @shellleigh33. Thank you! Loving it! I'll send it out tomorrow @smalldogs_bigbooks2419 #ThemedThursday @dabbe

smalldogs_bigbooks2419 This is the one I‘m most excited to read. It‘s been on my TBR for a long time. I‘ve read the first couple of chapters as a sample on Libby. 2y

dabbe Excellent choice! I just read it not long ago and LOVED it, especially the character Six-Thirty! Thanks! 💚🤗💙 2y

First one that comes to mind: Animal Farm!!
“All animals are equal but some are more equal than others.”

Power corrupts - absolute power corrupts absolutely.

dabbe @fredamans Well, you could say that Access Hollywood tape was a (gulp) movie. 😃 ... sorry if this seemed flippant. Since I've desperately tried to block out the years 2016-2020, I tend to resort to Chandleresque humor--except I'm not funny like he was. (edited) 2y

dabbe @ozma.of.oz Can't wait! 🤩 2y

majkia I'll be reading Leviathan Wakes soon and the series definitely hits the whole power and corruption theme on the head. I've read most of the series but am re-reading before I read the last book of the series. 2y

Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists | J.K. Rowling

As sad as it may be, apparently power corrupts just as efficiently in the wizarding world as it does in the Muggle. I‘d love to think that with great power, came great understanding, but no, they are just as likely to let power go to their head, and do what they can to keep it.
