“We are mirrors reflecting mirrors reflecting mirrors.”
It’s always good to remind ourselves around the holiday season that we reflect (and reflect onto) the people we choose to surround ourselves with.
Choose wisely 🥰
The dangerous trend of sharing #misinformation online is sure to follow us into the 2024 election.
While there are ways to protect ourselves from false information online, #BigTech has the most important role in stopping widespread misinformation. 💯

From Variety's 2020 cover story with Andre Braugher:
He says he’s fine knowing that his decision to stick close to home and family may have limited some opportunities along the way. “It’s been an interesting career, but I think it could have been larger,” he says. “I think it could have spanned more disciplines: directing, producing, all these other different things. But it would have been at the expense of my own life.”

This is Charles Best and Frederick Banting. They were Canadian scientists that won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of insulin in 1923.
Banting was 32 when he received the Nobel Prize and he chose to share half the prize money with Best who was his assistant and just 24 years old at the time.
Banting refused to put his name on the patent and instead sold it to the University of Toronto for $1. He thought it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save millions of lives. "Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.
Unfortunately, the drug today has been subjected to price gouging by pharmaceutical companies with the average price per month rising to $450 in 2016.
In 1970, #CesarChavez's commitment to justice led him to jail, but it couldn't break his spirit. His sacrifice resonates today as a reminder that even in the darkest hours, the light of justice can prevail. #Justice#Solidarity https://t.co/NEubB8mbn4
