🚨🚨 Some hope: media and information literacy trainings - modules providing crucial skills to better consume information - in classroom settings appears to move the needle, and to have positive externalities!

doing this when your main hobby and interest is philadelphia sports means that professional colleagues get to see a very suicidal side of you
