Probably #ldf's fallacy that he is best at is the ad hominem attack. The background picture in the image above is every attack #ldf has said against a person or a group. A picture literally is worth a thousand+ words ... and is horrifying.
To scroll through the ENTIRE list (just up until 2021! 😱), go here:

dabbe @TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal @Susanita If he has a presidential library, I hope it's every single one of his evil/hateful/stupid/____ tweets. That's all it should be. Walls and walls of tweets that say more than could ever possibly be said. 3d

TheBookHippie @dabbe I hope it lists everyone gleefully supporting him. 3d

The Complete 2012 User's Guide to the Amazing Amazon Kindle: Covers All Current Kindles Including the Kindle Fire, Kindle Touch, Kindle Keyboard, and Kindle | Stephen Windwalker

Just received this from a (non-Litten) bookish friend & thought I'd share here (video in comments):

“At the end of the month, Amazon is taking away the Download to Other Devices feature of Kindle. This means that if Amazon removes a book from their service—despite the fact that you BOUGHT it—it's gone. Or if they decide to update something, your version may be replaced automatically. It will also lock you into the Amazon ecosystem... (cont'd ⬇)

BarbaraJean (Cont'd) ...so that if you want to ever read a copy of your book, you must be an Amazon customer (Kindle) to do so. If you want to ensure you always have access to the books you have BOUGHT digitally, you may want to do some downloading this week.“

TheBookHippie The grift continues 😵‍💫 5d

Chelsea.Poole Eww 5d

Lcsmcat Wow. Thanks for sharing. Another good reason to migrate towards a different device. 5d

Schnoebs I recently saw this! I‘m trying to slowly distance myself from Amazon. Last year I cancelled my prime subscription and it really helped me cut back on ordering random things. This week, I just cancelled my KU subscription. Hoping that break my connection to them more. The final step will be getting rid of audible. Definitely there yet lol 4d

Cliches: Over 1500 Phrases Explored and Explained | Betty Kirkpatrick, Elizabeth McLaren Kirkpatrick

Finally bought a set from Cliche tea, a local Alaskan business that offers teas themed on literary cliches. I am trying Magical Powers today, an herbal lemon tea with a gorgeous blue color from butterfly pea. I'm excited to dig into the rest of this set. There is also a romance set, archetypes, and one for writers ☺️

Wrap for January #WickedWords @AsYouWish

Two romance novels, two SF, and a graphic novel. I'm not sure if my pick would be Love Laodice or This is How You Lose the Time War; they're so different that I have no way to compare them.
