After being forced off of mainstream platforms, Russian radio shows associated with state-run media have moved to Rumble, a video-sharing platform used by conservatives. This shows how far right sites provide safe havens for Russian propaganda #coms367 https://t.co/we9FXwS2M2
After a nearby missile attack near the Formula 1 racetrack, although the drivers were told leave, it was reported that drivers were ‘handed a warning’ about the consequences of the race not proceeding. Messed up that they would be forced to stay #coms367 https://t.co/1btuffAKQg
@attsarah55 Depends on the mental state of the celebrity and intentions of the conservator. If the conservator's intentions are greed-oriented and don't listen to the needs of the person, the risk of exploitation is high. No matter anyone's mental capacity, that shouldn't happen. #coms367
The college from my hometown city has advanced to the elite 8 of the NCAA tournament! They have surpassed all odds and made history as the first No. 15 seed to advance to the Elite Eight round of the tournament. Finally something I can be prideful of about Jersey!! #coms367
Saint Peter's University wasn't just little-known nationally before this year's NCAA Tournament. The school doesn't even have a high profile locally. You could drive right past it in Jersey City, New Jersey, without even noticing.

There are a number of ways to combat the harmful emotional effects of seeing violence, racism, homophobia, etc. online. Turn on turn on sensitive content warnings, take a step back from the internet, manage physical symptoms first, etc. #coms367 https://t.co/bfsS850Fsh
@christ_ietweets This is a great example of why people are more suspicious of media companies. How can they accidentally choose a picture that supports the racism/xenophobia that was created towards Asian Americans? This is a prime example of misleading media #coms367 https://t.co/JlZcn4eC75
This newspaper company "accidentally" chose a picture of Japanese people wearing masks for an article about the spread of COVID in the US. After being called out, they said "Such images can add to the worsening xenophobia and racism for Asian Americans" #coms367
Throughout the early stages of the pandemic, retail and service workers had been praised for their strength and reliability. But still, that hasn't brought many changes for increasing minimum wage in Canada and the US. We cant forget these people https://t.co/MgDnv3YVAy #coms367
There's a new kind of kidnapping going around- online scammers are pretending to have abducted parents' kids and holding them for ransom, when in reality the kids are safe. These virtual kidnappings have doubled in 2020. #coms367 https://t.co/tq7gXD8nJi
@KateOKatt I definitely think cancel culture creates cultural gaps and only puts a magnifying glass over cultural differences. The controversy over canceling also shows how people believe celebrities' mistakes should be handled (whether they deserve 2nd chance vs to be blacklisted) #coms367
@KiaraBarksdale I've seen videos of Bella's mom implying that she favors Eurocentric features and beauty. Since everyone knows the modeling world believes this too, I wonder how much this surgery was Bella's decision versus her mom/argency. #coms367
@LaurenLapointe4 "We've got these reward thresholds that get altered by consuming highly-rewarding, highly-pleasurable drugs", this really goes to show how much we base/depend on our happiness on external things (such as Instagram notifications, Tinder matches, drugs, etc).
@KiaraBarksdale I'm very glad that she has a platform to defend her craft and point out society's sexist culture, while also defending Sam, the director. Because if she didn't respond, the media and probably most fans would assume that her being naked in scenes was against her will, for example
@Danielajtoro@TheMaryixx (2) others know that it's paying homage and opening society up to the damages they can create. If the director were to censor this, they would be silencing victims and not acknowledging important issues that maybe these parents' kids are going through without them knowing.
@Danielajtoro (1) I agree with @TheMaryixx. Should all movies and shows that are depicting high schoolers just go back on everything, rejecting reality and art, and just limit their content because parents fear their young kids seeing it? While some think Euphoria romanticizes drugs...
The #MeToo movement shows how social movements and communication have changed. Social movements have been linked to their hashtag like #BLM, #ArabSpring, #OccupyWallStreet. Tweets with hashtags earn twice as much engagement as those without.

COVID has generated a spike in women being subjected to 'technology-facilitated sexual violence' defined as revenge porn or sending of unsolicited photos. This affects 88% of all Canadian undergraduate women and is linked to higher suicide rates.

In a January survey of 1,519 Canadians, 71% believe getting COVID is inevitable and 40% say they would rather get it and move on", but the author says this "Omnicron fatalism" will also desire the removal of all health restrictions.
