Woke up and instantly opened my emails. It’s an everyday habit to check both my personal and ASU email to make sure I am aware of any assignments or announcements for my classes. I then made my morning coffee and took a quick look for any interesting headlines on X as well as the watched the local morning news for preparing for the day.

Started to work on a research assignment for canvas concerning academic sources discussing the innovation A.I has had on society in the last few years. While doing so, I had a YouTube video playing in the background. The YouTube video is by LinusTechTips who reviews the most recent innovations in computer hardware and software. He is probably one of my favorite sources for finding new information in the tech world due to his credibility and long term experience.

I began to scroll through X while eating lunch and had seen what I considered to be blatant disinformation on my For You page. It was a tweet with high engagement that stated the Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, was deceased. No sources from the post, 14 thousand likes and 244 thousand views. Upon further research, I saw that the account posts all sorts of unverified information and has seemingly made it’s way through the algorithm posing as real news information when it is clearly false.

I took a break from Canvas and began to scroll through some YouTube Shorts. I saw that there were memes discussing a heist of KitKat bars that happened to be in transit from the manufacturing facility it Italy to Poland. I questioned whether it was a simple joke or complete misinformation. Upon further investigation, I found out that it was completely legitimate and a group of individuals had actually stolen 12 Tons of KitKat bars. Below I linked one of the many YouTube Shorts a viewed discussing this insane sounding heist.

Listening to music on Spotify while heading to the Gym and changing music constantly through out my workout. Noticed the televisions playing in the gym and would occasionally watch the tv while I was in between sets. It was the first Jurassic Park Movie, one of my favorites.
4:37 PM
Reading miscellaneous reddit threads about a specific issue I have in launching a video game I play on my downtime called Escape From Tarkov. Not to be too specific, but the game would have issues connecting to a server and would constantly disconnect. The reddit thread offered little to no help and did not solve my issue. Basically misinformation or misdiagnosis for my specific error code and issue. None of the information of potential fixes were made to be harmful/disinformation.
