Today we had the pleasure of hosting Professor @JENDUCK and @drscotthawley of @BelmontUniv and hearing about their wealth of experiences in media and communications, and artificial intelligence. A very warm welcome to Northern Ireland!

How trolls target us. @wiczipedia great article. Can’t wait to read your book. ā€œā€¦according to Jankowicz, women are censoring themselves online-or being silenced. ā€˜We think, we write, we edit our tweets ten times before we send them, and often we still decide not to send them.ā€™ā€

So proud of my cousins, featured in @sportsillustrated. Ben and Zach have such a beautiful story of brotherhood, baseball, and so much more. We all can learn so much from this incredible family that I’m lucky enough to call family: si.com/college/tennessee/bas…

Russian and Ukrainian negotiators both now making positive noises about peace talks. This is hopeful. #RussiaUkraineWar

So much to unpack in this full article, including this nugget: ā€œā€¦having a TV-production company run a country is not a good idea in peacetime, but in wartime, when information war is one of your goals, it’s a fabulous thing to have in place.ā€ newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/s…

ā€œWorld War III is a guerrilla information war with no division between military and civilian participation.ā€ – Marshall McLuhan (1970). @propublica and @ClemsonUniv further prove the point with this report propublica.org/article/in-th…

So what can we all do in this disinformation war? @nato recently wrote, ā€œA proper defense requires at the very least an awareness that a cognitive warfare campaign is underway. It requires the ability to observe and orient.ā€

Bottom line: We're all on the frontlines of the information war whether we realize it or not. The propagandists are highly skilled & the information & manipulated videos they post look very real. Be mindful of your sources; be thankful for U.S. freedom of the press. Read deeply.
