Bixi Bitblink
The Tiny Double-Check
Bixi Bitblink is the Glowpatch friend for digital literacy, source checking, and careful sharing.
Overview
Bixi Bitblink stopped Doodle's brightest message one blink before it crossed the Glowpatch to Pip. It said Pip had found a dragon under a cushion. The share button flashed. Bixi placed two source cards beside it. One named Doodle. The other was blank.
Bixi asked who sent the message, why it mattered, and who else had seen the dragon. Doodle answered the first question and laughed through the other two. The checkmark visor refused to approve a joke. Pip spent the whole exchange without news of the dragon.
Bixi chose not to share. A missed joke costs less than a false warning, although Doodle disputes the accounting. Doodle has promised a second joke tomorrow. Bixi has promised to leave one hand off the source cards. Neither promise has been tested.
