NBN Book of the Day - Danielle Keats Citron, “The Fight for Privacy: Protecting Dignity, Identity, and Love in the Digital Age” (Norton, 2022)
The boundary that once protected our intimate lives from outside interests is an artefact of the 20th century. In the 21st, we have embraced a vast array of technology that enables constant access and surveillance of the most private aspects of our lives. From non-consensual pornography, to online extortion, to the sale of our data for profit, we are vulnerable to abuse. As Citron reveals, wherever we live, laws have failed miserably to keep up with corporate or individual violators, letting our privacy wash out with the technological tide. And the erosion of intimate privacy in particular, Citron argues, holds immense toxic power to transform our lives and our societies for the worse (and already has).
With vivid examples drawn from interviews with victims, activists and lawmakers from around the world, The Fight for Privacy: Protecting Dignity, Identity, and Love in the Digital Age (Norton, 2022) reveals the threat we face and argues urgently and forcefully for a reassessment of privacy as a human right. And, as a legal scholar and expert, Danielle Citron is the perfect person to show us the way to a happier, better protected future.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Gathering in Grief – Dealing with Loss During the Holidays
The holidays are meant to be spent with people we love. But when a loved one isn’t there anymore, it can make the holiday season especially painful for the people left behind. It can also be hard to know what to say when someone you care about is grieving.
To help us all navigate this holiday season with grace, we’re chatting with author and public speaker Rebecca Soffer. After losing both of her parents, Soffer co-founded “Modern Loss,” an organization that offers encouraging and meaningful content and community to address the long arc of grief. Her latest best-selling book is “The Modern Loss Handbook: An Interactive Guide to Moving Through Grief and Building Your Resilience.”

Slate Books - Political Gabfest Reads: Everything You Need to Know About Choosing a President

They talk about how Mukunda’s first book, Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter laid the groundwork for Picking Presidents. Later, Dickerson and Mukunda dig into why ‘intellectual brilliance’ – which goes beyond IQ - is a strong predictor of presidential performance and how the human portion of the job of president is changing.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - “Is This How We Do Law Now?”
The highest court in the land has ignored the need for standing, the trial record, and of course precedent this past year––and it matters.
Host Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Sherrilyn Ifill, former president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and a senior fellow at the Ford Foundation. They discuss Sherrilyn’s thought-provoking piece this month in the New York Review of Books, which opens out into a big-picture discussion of what this Supreme Court’s tendency to reach out and grab cases, and erase trial records, or fill in the blanks on standing, even on claims, means for whose voices are heard at the highest court in the land, and who merits consideration in its decisions.
In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to talk about oral arguments in the big elections case concerning the Independent State Legislature Theory (Moore v. Harper), and in the Oregon wedding website case that threatens civil rights public-accommodations law (303 Creative), plus the Washington right-wing party circuit’s special guest du jour, Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
