Some newsletters just aren't fun to post.
This is one of two pieces I've been dragging on--not because they're not important, but because they're depressing.
Today, I talk about why we have a responsibility not to be shocked when legacy media chooses gamified coverage over any real duty to provide civilians with the tools to make informed assessments of the world.
We talk propaganda here, in war and peacetime alike - and how hard it is for civilians to rise above it.

"no reason to get excited,
the thief he kindly spoke,
there are many here among us,
who feel that life is but a joke.
you & i we've been through that,
and this is not our fate,
so let us not speak falsely now,
for the hour
is getting late."

from Eli he did come,
with a mind that multiplied the smallest matter."-
