Thank you @pearljam for spending 61 hours with me this year on @Spotify. You are my #1. #spotifywrapped

Crazy to think beer is over 10,000 years old! To the left of my eye is how beer is written in the first language ever, Cuneiform! Learned how to write it last week. Now just gotta figure out how to say it so I can order one in Cuneiform. Lol jk #hist100 #beerology @museumofman

In looking at Wednesday’s presentations, the group that presented on Alex Jones said that Jones is not far right. Aside from him being gay, what else supports this statement? #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

Wednesday Presentation— When I was looking at group 2’s presentation, I was wondering if the fake news site was pro-Trump or anti-Trump? #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

@LegendFoster7 Definitely. Click-baits are seen on everything today. This is one of the best ways to lure curious readers into a false article. Definitely can see this in my article as well. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

In “The Evidence for Bigfoot”, the article contains a fair amount of grammatical errors and the whole article is basically informal. This exemplifies its falsities. #RHUB100 https://t.co/BJjt23KeTI

Definitely would agree fake news has been around for centuries! How else did Hitler take over almost all of Europe? It doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon. As Soll says, it has immense power behind and so long as there’s greed, the fake news will continue. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

@LuistroDani Yes definitely. Anderson as well Tom Nichols exemplify that because everyone has instant access to google and other forms of information, they make themselves out to be experts. They think they know everything and refuse to accept criticism. It’s ridiculous. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

“Why Is The U.S. So Susceptible To Social-Media Distortion?”, Stephen Marche states that Americans all have their own view of the universe and how things work. This reflects Anderson’s argument in that Americans can’t separate subjective opinion from subjective fact. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

@caitlyn_c3 Definitely. New technology, especially the internet, has led to an explosive growth in the spread of fake news. It has definitely led to more people having a hard time distinguishing fact from opinion. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

It is evident that Anderson makes the assumption that our stuggle to distinguish subjective opinion from subjective fact has been present for centuries. Today it is fake news. But 500 years ago it was something else. Both presented the same effect. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

@VincentPolk5 Oh yeah. Switek obviously is not trying to convince those who believe what the show is saying to follow his argument, unlike Shermer. Switek is more so making fun of those who take the show seriously. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

Both authors believe that Ancient Aliens is a foolish show that ignorantly leads some viewers to believe what they are saying. Switek makes fun of those who believe what the show says where Shermer more so informs his audience that it is producing fake news. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

@LuistroDani Definitely. Whenever an article has stats backed up by colleges, I personally respect it more. They definitely help build up the ethos of Carr and his argument. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

Nicholas Carr is saying that because the Net is a universal medium to the world, it is “chipping away” at our ability to concentrate and contemplate. By stating this, he seems to be assuming that the internet is intellectually harmful to people of all ages. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

@VincentPolk5 I agree. This is definitely evident today. A lot of people I know know very little about cultural norms before the 21st century. This makes it difficult for Anderson’s argument to persuade those who are younger. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

Kurt Anderson makes the assumption that life today isn’t that different than it was twenty years ago. He seems to be addressing those who are of an age group that’s between 30-50 as they can know how similar today’s living standards are to when they were younger. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

I believe that sharing our thoughts and ideas online doesn’t just connect people for innovative and academic purposes, it can connect those simply looking to meet someone. Some of the best relationships I know have been started on platforms just like Twitter. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

@VincentPolk5 I agree. When Thompson said that the amount of words written online daily are in the trillions it blew my mind. It definitely does show how essential online writing is in today’s literature. It’s come a long way. #RHUB100

[Josh Yeyna @JoshYeyna]

Discussion: Why is it that high school writing lacks the freedom that University writing grants? High school writing seems to be all about pleasing the teacher and following a strict prompt and layout that offers little to no wiggle room #RHUB100
