Please take a media literacy moment and stop posting that the young boy in the Super Bowl halftime show was Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who was detained by ICE.

It was a child actor, who posted about it on social media.

I remember this vividly. I was 13. I’m curious: Has there been any acknowledgment from the ABC Sports crew on tonight’s Monday Night Football broadcast of the historic role Howard Cosell played in informing the world of John Lennon’s death on this date 45 years ago?

Too many people’s inside thoughts are outside thoughts nowadays…

Shared to mass audiences of people that never should know about those peoples’ inside OR outside thoughts…

All flattened into the worst algorithmic mobs that reward the most unhinged and emotional posting.

KUOW listeners give nearly $1.5 million in one day after Congress cuts funding The station raised nearly $1.5 million by 1 p.m. on Friday afternoon in response to Congress slashing Corporation for Public Broadcasting funding.

Holy buckets! @kuow.org raised $1.5 million in 12 hours after launching an emergency fundraising campaign. That is incredible. Seattle stepped up.
