I got up and ran 3 miles outside, not treadmill.

Just a trial  easy run to see if running in 32°F was something I wanted to do.  And I’m not convinced either way right now.  I bought lightweight gloves, Sam got me a hat with LEDs, I layered (loosely). 

And I was warm.  My hands actually sweat during the run. And it was fine.  So maybe not every morning when it’s cold, but maybe once or twice a week.

However that’s not what’s depressing.

Study: How bots influence Ohio elections on social media

I yeah, anyone with eyes knows bots are all over social media. 

But the study found that political campaigns are way more likely to be influenced by adopting talking points put forward by bots than both average citizens or the press.

Good job humanity.
