It is Wednesday morning, and the first day of March. 1 March 2023.
Last night the University of Kansas guaranteed themselves at least a portion of the Big 12 Basketball Championship – there will be a tournament next week for the post-season championship – and could win it outright when they play Texas at Texas next Saturday. If Texas wins, it’s a split – and I have a feeling the Texas Longhorns will be coming at the Jayhawks with a full head of steam. Texas plays at TCU tonight… if Texas loses, then it’s a done deal anyway.
As I have shared, I spend a little time in the comments sections of some stories that appear in my feed. One of the things that I have often been curious about is whether or not troll farms spin up fake accounts to foment chaos by making irresponsible, uneducated, and inflammatory comments. Sometimes I read the comments and I have to ask myself, “Are people really this ignorant? Are people really this racist?”, and I do ponder the idea that there are chaos agents in the world that really want to see America fall – they want to see infighting to the point of civil war in this country – they want to see us at each other’s throats.
When I see a profile picture, I will sometimes do a “right-mouse click” on the photo to pull up the shortcut menu and select “Find On Web”. This is a little something I do just to see if their profile pic is a stock photo, or some other shut publicly accessible. Earlier this week I did just that and the profile pic was linked to a story about a man from eastern Europe that had died.
Sometimes the devil is in the details. I’m not going to stand here and state as a fact that just because somebody used a picture of an eastern European man it has to be a troll farm, but when there is no other obvious reason why that photo was used, it does give rise to more questions.
Keep asking questions.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
