Some of these tweets about how Sinners is just a "fun popcorn movie" with nothing deeper going on remind me of the story Billie Holiday told, about a white woman at one of her shows saying: "why don't you sing that one *sexy* song, you know, the one about the fruit!" 12:49 AM · Jan 23, 2026 ·Twitter Web App

alright kids, it's time for my annual reminder that if you watch only two playlists on youtube, only two CrashCourses in your life, make it these two:

Media Literacy

In 12 episodes, Jay Smooth teaches you Media Literacy! Based on an introductory college level curriculum, this series takes you through the

Navigating Digital Information

In 10 episodes, John Green will teach you how to navigate the internet! We’ve partnered with MediaWise, The Poynter Institute, and The Stanf

I promise you will come out of it a better person that will be at least a little more vigilant of false information online and thereby less easy to manipulate. imho it should be mandatory for every internet user to watch them.

Misinformation, disinformation, fake news and whatnot are dangerous but you can do something about it if you take these two courses to heart.

This 9-minute crash course in media influence and persuasion serves as an introduction to Fallacies, Social Semiotics, Public Relations, & Advocacy Campaigns. Jay Smooth explores how advertisers exploit our desires to fit in and conform to meet our basic need to belong. In respect to Maslow’s psychological hierarchy of needs. It’s important to be mindful of our motivations and interests. Question where they come from. How they formed and if they may have been shaped or persuaded by someone else. As always- stay informed, stay involved~
