Friday Open Thread
I attended a great UW lecture last night by Professor Kate Starbird from the College of Engineering on the history/recognizing "fake news." I see from this article in the NY Times that Italy is really getting serious about this in their schools:Yikes! Amazon has two "Girls WW2 Evacuee" costumes, one "fancy dress" and the other plain for Halloween. It was originally marketed in some places as an "Anne Frank" costume. In fact, they have several of them including one for boys. The Anti-Defamation League has a petition against it. It does seem in poor taste and you have to wonder - what kid even knows to dress up as a WWII child evacuee?“Fake news drips drops of poison into our daily web diet and we end up infected without even realizing it,” said Laura Boldrini, the president of the Italian lower house of Parliament, who has spearheaded the project with the Italian Ministry of Education.“It’s only right to give these kids the possibility to defend themselves from lies,” said Ms. Boldrini, who is left-leaning but not affiliated with any political party. The initiative will be rolled out in 8,000 high schools across the country starting on Oct. 31.
Three director community meetings this Saturday, including - I believe - the last one for Director Blanford:
Patu at Raconteur from 9-11 am.
Blanford at Starbucks on 2300 South Jackson St. from 10 am to 11:30 am
Geary at Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney Place Community Room, 6951 62nd Avenue NE from 1-2:30 pm.
