“You are somebody that I don’t know
But you’re takin’ shots at me
like it’s Patrón
And I’m just like, “damn
it’s 7 a.m.” “
(Patrón is a brand of tequila, -blog admin)
“Say it in the street,
that’s a knock-out
But you say it in a Tweet,
that’s a cop-out
And I’m just like, “Hey,
are you okay?” ”
lyrics, music and production by Tay

These will instead be submitted during class on a piece of paper to be manually routed.
Only one entry (either regular or bonus, but not both) will be given points for every week. In order to be fair to class members who work hard, any post submitted after 11:59pm Wednesday Sept 4, 2019 will be considered “forfeit”, or for zero points.
Since re-posting, “sharing” “screenshot”-embedding, tweet-embedding, etc., are rampant in the internet, class members may review and evaluate all kinds of posts whether or not these have been subject of news reports, and whether these are on FB, Twitter, IG, YouTube, WordPress, Tumblr, etc.
