I just finished reading *Careless People* by Sarah Wynn-Williams. I am no longer on Meta's Facebook myself (I joined somewhat under duress) and am very happy I am no longer on that platform. I can't see how anyone could remain on FB after reading this book. The sexual abuse was rampant and instead of dealing with the abuse, the abused would suffer the penalties not the abuser. This was sexual abuse from both female and male senior staff as long as they were growing the company. They tried to get into China by promising the Chinese access to their users database. By allowing the right wing to dominate FB with disinformtion and targeted advertising they were responsible for Trump getting into power. The title sums it up, people who don't care.

This is the book that Meta, Facebook's parent company has been trying to suppress. Of course this simply resulted in the Streisand effect. Please read the book and please consider joining the Fediverse if you want an alternative.

I just finished reading "The Cat's meow" (by Jonathan B. Losos) which was featured on Quirks and Quarks. Loved the book. I like cats the way they are. A little bit of the African wild cat still left in them making us treat them at least as equals and not as slaves.
