Gotta be similar to gymnastics, I assume.
Oh no. I cannot dance good, let alone breakdance. I can admire the skill of the athletes, though.
Today I learned that they turned breakdancing into an Olympic sport
About a dozen episodes into Vinland Saga. It's pretty good.
Like, not adding alt text to describe images? Tbh, I'm paranoid that those images and descriptions are being used to train A.I.s.
Catching a rerun of the Olympics opening ceremony. I have been reminded of what human art is capable of.
![BREAKING NEWS CONSUMER'S HANDBOOK
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
• "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it.
• "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

There are 2 more, but I wasn't sure how active they are these days on the social media sites I use.
