I’m finally up to date on my flogs, I apologize for having some late flogs but life has been crazy and I’ve finally got back on my feet. This week I am still having trouble coming up with ideas for the flog. I decided against doing the commentary on old diet culture vs. today’s diet culture. I found out that watching all of that content was really mentally taxing, and I’d still have hours of it to go if I wanted to put something good together. I also decided that potentially triggering someone else who has body image issues (statistically a lot of people) was not worth making a commentary. I wanted to potentially tie in the normalization of ozempic, but again a lot of people could be hurt by that and personally I already see advertisements for that enough. 

Instead, I might do something that compares political “scandals” from the early 2010s to the crap politicians can get away with 10 years later. For example, comparing the outrage from when Barack Obama wore a tan suit to the pretend outrage about Zelensky not wearing a suit to the white house and getting berated by the president and vice president on international television. And then we just… moved onto the next horrible thing. I’m also considering a project that compares the sentence Luigi Mangione is facing (death penalty) to the sentences faced by mass shooters to comment upon the value of life in America. For my video, I am going to try and use Adobe Rush or Adobe Final Cut Pro on one of the desktop Macs on campus.
