Evie Day 490
Good morning everybody! It is Thursday, 18 July 2024.
Today is going to be a busy day.
I return to my virtual classroom for a couple of long blocks, a 2+ hour block in the morning, and another in the afternoon. In the between times, I have plenty to keep me occupied, with a couple of presentations for next Monday I need to nail down.
I flipped on the news… probably shouldn’t have. I think we’ll watch something a little more in our idiom. I certainly will not be watching any political conventions—too much gaslighting. I can’t support a felon for the presidency.
Election cycles bring out the worst in people. I had some guy virtually yell at me on social media yesterday, telling me that I’m not getting the truth from mainstream media. I asked him which news sources he would recommend, and for fun, I ran the named sources through a website called MediaBiasFactCheck.com . It’s fair to say that his news sources were a significantly less objective than the sources I generally lean on like AP Newswire or Reuters.
I probably ought to go tend to my other morning responsibilities.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
