This book deserves all the attention it is getting. Every parent, every educator, and any person who has an adolescent in their life needs to read this book. I wish I could turn back the clock and do things differently with my children and technology, especially my youngest.

Cupcake12 This sounds really insightful x 2d

Podcasting: Do-It-Yourself Guide | Todd Cochrane

A new episode of The Checkout Stack featuring @monalyisha and Megan Tully from the Ames Free Library in MA just dropped this morning. Tune in for a great set of book recommendations and a bonus cozy TV show which I enjoyed while recovering from a cold.

thecheckoutstack Thanks so much for listening @BookmarkTavern! 1w

Chelsea.Poole Just finished the episode. Really enjoyed hearing @monalyisha and all the recs. This may just be my favorite new podcast!?! (I don‘t listen to podcasts but maybe I do now!) 1w

monalyisha Aww, thanks @Chelsea.Poole & @BookmarkTavern! I don‘t typically listen to podcasts either but you know I think this topic is worth it…and I love Maria‘s passion! I *do* listen to Katherine May‘s podcast occasionally (because of course I do). And I managed to get into “60 Songs That Explain the 90‘s” for a while (the episode about Mazzy Star was my personal fave). 7d

Not reading this whole book and I totally disagree with the author‘s “peer contagion” nonsense regarding trans identities… but I have to say this graph is striking. So even though I think Haidt is wrong on other things, maybe we should all go out and spend more time with friends?

Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves | Nicola Twilley

pick

This was an interesting book! It describes the history & impact of refrigeration in the world. I‘ve never considered how so much of my food has to be refrigerated at some point in its lifecycle! She touches on the energy use & environmental impact of the “cold chain” in the world as well, and compares refrigeration in the US to other countries like China & Rwanda. This is a great book if you have a general interest in history, culture, & science!

I've been meaning to read this for a while now. I'm glad I did as it is certainly an eye opener. I do agree with the majority of Lanier's points. He certainly makes valid points on how much we have freely given away to social media conglomerates and what they're doing with that information.
My only niggle was the use of acronyms.

Extreme Privacy: What It Takes to Disappear | Michael Bazzell

#TodayILearned more about Spyware😡🤢

I haven‘t read Ronan Farrow‘s reporting on Pegasus, but this 61 minute documentary on HBO Max gives a great overview.

Tagged the book that‘s lauded as the best owner‘s manual on going off the digital grid. We‘ve got the book and someday I‘ll read it. Just doesn‘t seem like there‘s much you can do to minimize intrusions unless you‘re truly willing to give up connected tech. I‘m not there, yet.

Bookwormjillk This one might fall in the category of do I really want to know 😂 (edited) 2w

DogMomIrene @Bookwormjillk Exactly! 😓 2w

Suet624 Remember when we heard our tv‘s were catching what we said? I remember the Good Wife having surveillance as a running part of a season? I know ads will pop up on Facebook if I talk about a product with a friend. 2w

DogMomIrene @Suet624 I never watched The Good Wife, but sounds like they were on top of issues. AI has really upped the creepy factor for me. I had blogged about caring for my dogs. Took a long hiatus because of life stuff, but started to get back into it… only to realize that anything I create and place online will be used to train AI. I‘m in the process of closing up my blog and related accounts. I‘ll stick to reading and just posting about books. 2w

Suet624 Wow. That‘s a huge bummer to have to stop writing your blog. 😳😩 2w

MemoirsForMe Oh, this book and AI give me the creeps too. Big digital brother is always watching. 😬 2w

DogMomIrene @MemoirsForMe Yes! I‘ve been deleting various online accounts for a few weeks now. Being thoughtful about which accounts, like Litsy, that I‘ll keep. 2w

MemoirsForMe Ditto! 1w

Amiable I love Ronan Farrow‘s work. I saw him in person in Hartford a year or so ago —he was on a panel that discussed the dissemination of disinformation and the future of the media. 1w

DogMomIrene @Amiable Would have loved to have heard him speak on a panel. I love his work too. I haven‘t read his books, but they‘re on the TBR. Also, would love to read a book from him on disinformation and how it spreads. 1w

I'm leaving the mainstream social media sites in favour of BlueSky. I can't cope with the toxicity, misinformation and division anymore.

AllDebooks @kspenmoll @Cupcake12 it's a decentralised social media app, similiar to Twitter/X/Threads but leaves you more in control of what you see. https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/elon-musk-twitter-x-bluesky-threads-mastodon-... 2w

bookwyrm7 @AllDebooks I'm not surprised, I left Twitter soon after Elon Musk's takeover, when you began to feel the changes. It's a shame, it was my favourite social media platform and losing it felt a piece of online culture was suddenly over. Nothing will ever be exactly like it again... 1w
