Media Literacy Roundup: 29 October 2026
wfryer.substack.com/p/media-lite...

#MediaLit #MediaLiteracy #AIliteracy #edtech #AI
An educational, square comic-style illustration titled "Media Literacy Roundup: 29 October 2026" displays six panels arranged in a grid with thick white gutters and bold black outlines. The top three panels depict a multi-generational group inspecting historical documents around a glowing light table, two middle school students with tablets exploring classroom spinners, and a smartphone filming a grandparent storytelling session. The bottom three panels show a tangled smartphone feed unraveling into an organized list, a digital ballot with hyperlinked candidate fields being clicked, and a teacher on stage connecting icons along an illuminated thread. Each panel includes a yellow title caption, while the entire piece features bright flat colors, light halftone dots, and the website banner "wesfryer.com" in the lower-left corner.

An illustrated poster titled "Voices Beyond the Textbook: UnderTold by CM" depicts a diverse group of children, adults, and seniors gathered around an illuminated light table. They are actively engaged in historical research, taking notes, reading documents, and using magnifying glasses to examine portraits of notable historical figures, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Phillis Wheatley. At the center of the table sit a vintage broadcast microphone and a pair of headphones. The image includes a blue video camera icon in the upper right corner and a "#MediaEducationLab" label in the lower left.

A cheerful, cartoon-style illustration commemorating an "AI Assisted Blogging Milestone," featuring a smiling man in a space-age bubble. He is wearing glasses and a light blue flight suit while working at a computer desk, with a friendly robot pointing at the screen from within an orange data vortex. Surrounding them are whimsical space elements, including Saturn, flying saucers, tower stations, floating papers, a secure data shield, and a conveyor belt of glowing cubes leading to a sign that reads "6,390."

FA Cup replayed? No. Mulbarton Wanderers are stuck in a 2026 time loop where Man City already won. Your feed is lying to you again. #MediaLit

The logical impossibility: A club from Division 8 is 'deeply upset' because the Cup is being replayed, while the same article claims Man City already won it. It’s not a mistake; it’s a glitch in the matrix of billionaire-owned narrative control. They need you confused enough to not notice who’s actually paying the bills.

#AI #MediaLit #MediaLiteracy #ethics #DataCenter #DataCenters #edtech
An editorial cartoon, titled "Becoming an Apocaloptimist," splits its subjects with a lightning bolt against a backdrop of a massive power plant and power lines, showcasing opposing viewpoints. On the left, in warm tones, a group of men representing an anxious perspective display a sign reading "I'm scared," while another holds a scroll stating "WE MUST PACE THE FRONTIER" with others giving thumbs up. In contrast, the cooler right side features a smirking man in a leather jacket with arms crossed whose speech bubble says "not grounded in facts," alongside an intellectual sketching equations. Below the division, a man with a baby and camera looks confused, next to a group of confused and discussing people.

The image is a dark, swamp-themed slide titled "The Land Between" with white text set against silhouetted trees and water. It features a subtitle about unearthing the Great Dismal Swamp as a sanctuary of resistance, survival, and community. The slide notes it was prepared for a September 13th Spiritual Formation Discussion titled "Maroons in the Land Between." Additionally, a paragraph explains how a 2,000-square-mile wetland straddling Virginia and North Carolina served as a refuge for self-emancipated Black Maroons.
