  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

ON MY GRIND: FREESTYLE RAP PRACTICES IN EXPERIMENTAL CREATIVE WRITING AND COMPOSITION PEDAGOGY Evan Nave 312 Pages My work is always necessarily two-headed. Double-voiced. Call-and-response at once. Paranoid self-talk as dichotomous monologue to move the crowd. Part of this has to do with the deep cuts and scratches in my mind. Recorded and remixed across DNA double helixes. Structurally split. Generationally divided. A style and family history built on breaking down. Evidence of how ill I am. And then there’s the matter of skin. The material concerns of cultural cross-fertilization. Itching to plant seeds where the grass is always greener. Color collaborations and appropriations. Writing white/out with black art ink. Distinctions dangerously hidden behind backbeats or shamelessly displayed front and center for familiar-feeling consumption.

  • Online Partisan Media, User-Generated News Commentary, and the Contested Boundaries of American Conservatism During the 2016 US Presidential Election
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Voices of outrage: Online partisan media, user-generated news commentary, and the contested boundaries of American conservatism during the 2016 US presidential election Anthony Patrick Kelly A thesis submitted to the Department of Media and Communications of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, December 2020 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD de- gree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other per- son is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99 238 words. 2 Abstract This thesis presents a qualitative account of what affective polarisation looks like at the level of online user-generated discourse. It examines how users of the American right-wing news and opinion website TheBlaze.com articulated partisan oppositions in the site’s below-the-line comment field during and after the 2016 US presidential election. To date, affective polarisation has been stud- ied from a predominantly quantitative perspective that has focused largely on partisanship as a powerful form of social identity.

    November 4, 2020 As members of the Writers Guild of America, East, we are proud to stand with our comrades on the staff of the Committee to Protect Journalists in their demand for a fair contract. The WGA East and CPJ share an institutional commitment to advocating for the safety, security, and freedom of writers. We therefore urge CPJ management to reinforce that commitment by agreeing to a union contract which: • fosters a more diverse, equitable, and sustainable workplace through increased salary minimums and fair across-the-board pay increases; and • demonstrates CPJ's recognition of—and investment in—their staff's work by codifying the organization's health and retirement benefits in the contract. After a year of negotiations,Deadline it's time for a contract at the Committee to Protect Journalists.

    As WGA members in scripted film and television, we stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Vox Media - including Curbed, Eater, Polygon, Recode, SB Nation, The Goods, The Verge, Vox.com, and Vox Studios - as they bargain their first union contract. Film, television, and other parts of the media and entertainment industries have long been unionized because creative workers fought for a seat at the table to negotiate fair wages, good benefits, and just working conditions. Particularly as Vox Media expands further into television and film production, we call on the company to agree to a union contract that lives up to its status as a leader in this industry.

    A SLICE OF PRAGMATISM: NAVIGATING THE PIZZAGATE CONSPIRACY, BULLSHIT AND FAKE NEWS IN THE POST-TRUTH ERA A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Madeline F. Jones Washington, D.C. April 17, 2019 Copyright © 2019 Madeline F. Jones All rights reserved ii A SLICE OF PRAGMATISM: NAVIGATING THE PIZZAGATE CONSPIRACY, BULLSHIT AND FAKE NEWS IN THE POST-TRUTH ERA Madeline F. Jones Thesis Adviser: Seth Perlow, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis is the first academic work to philosophically explore the connections between Pragmatic theories of truth and the phenomena of fake news and conspiracy in the post-truth era. It argues that Harry Frankfurt’s Bullshit Theory, which has recently seen a resurgence in scholarly literature about fake news, does not offer a cohesive philosophical framework for analyzing how political conspiracies emerge and why they pervade public political discourse in the United States. This study takes as its main example the conspiracy theory known as Pizzagate. This theory, which emerged on the anonymous online message board 4Chan, asserts that Hillary Clinton and John Podesta were involved in a child-sex-trafficking ring run out of a D.C. pizzeria named Comet Ping Pong. This project works to prove that the Pragmatic philosophy of William James offers a better analytical system for explaining this conspiracy in three ways: first through revealing that James’s Pragmatic Method informs the creation process of Pizzagate that occurred on 4Chan, then by exploring how James’s epistemology is anticipatory of psychological theories about collective memory creation and social contagion, and finally by highlighting Richard Hofstadter’s paranoid style as a modulation of Pragmatic thought.
