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.

Raised Wrong Educated Worse
DIBQUFS!2!! XIZ!BSF!UIFZ!TP!CBE@! § 1 ~ Products of a Flawed Socialization Process What is wrong with so many Black boys? Who is raising them to be so disrespectful? Why do they have such little regard for school and the entire educational process? Why are they so damn bad? These are the pressing questions that teachers, school staff members, parents, concerned family, and community members all across America are constantly asking. Some ask themselves, others ask their designated leaders, yet very few people are satisfied with the vague, one-sided answers that they have been getting. After reading this book, you should better understand the an- swers to these popular questions. It stands true for young Black males, just as it does for all human beings, that absolutely none of us act the way that we act out of a vacuum or simply because that’s the way that we always wanted to act. We are all social- ized first by our guardians and surrounding family mem- bers, later by school and our peers, and at all times by both our local communities and the greater society through powerful institutions such as the church, the government, the media, the entertainment industry, and civic/community organizations. Socialization is the process over time through which a child is instructed and encouraged how to act, as well as how not to act. Many factors play into whether or not an individual will accept or reject the behavioral ten- dencies that he has been trained to follow by his parents, 5 school, local community, and greater society.

Things can only get better – or to put it another way - things can scarcely get any worse.

Actor Russell Tovey Gets Personal About His Art Collection
Embuscado, Rain. Actor Russell Tovey Gets Personal About His Art Collection. Artnet news. October 11, 2016. Actor Russell Tovey Gets Personal About His Art Collection He’s his artists’ biggest champion. By Rain Embuscado Celebrity Collectors is a series that explores the fascinating and mysterious world of high-profile art collections. Fans may recognize Russell Tovey as the beleaguered werewolf in BBC’s Being Human, Patrick’s love interest in HBO’s Looking, or, more recently, as the enigmatic new character on ABC’s runaway hit Quantico. But what may be lesser-known about the actor is his off-screen relationship with contemporary art—a serious passion he regularly touts on Instagram. I last saw Tovey on the fair circuit during this year’s Armory Show, where he was standing in front of an enormous contour drawing by legendary Young British Artist Tracey Emin at Carolina Nitsch‘s booth. These days, Tovey told me, he’s been on the gallery crawl in New York whenever he has a spare moment, making the occasional studio visit along the way. In a recent phone conversation, we talked about the artists he’s been interested in, the importance of collecting, and how he got into art. “As a kid I always connected to pop art through cartoons and comic books like Tintin and Marvel, and then discovering Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol,” he said. “I loved advertising art and people like Mel Ramos using that in his work, but I never realized that you could actually buy into art and live with it.” Tell us how you got into art.

In this article we will explore how HBO came to legitimatise a contemporary television culture through producing distinct divisions ad infinitum, framed as being rooted outside mainstream commercial television production. In creating incessant divisions in genre, authorship and aesthetics, HBO incorporates artistic norms and principles of evaluation and puts them into circulation as a succession of oppositions— oppositions that we will explore throughout this paper.

Hbo Premieres All New Series Girls and Veep
HBO PREMIERES ALL NEW SERIES GIRLS AND VEEP  Miami, July 9, 2012 – HBO Latin America announced that Girls and Veep, two new original comedies, will premiere on July 23. The first episode of both productions will be available on www.hbomax.tv after they air onscreen. Girls is a comedy directed by Lena Dunham, the up-and-coming filmmaker and actor, who also stars in the series. Veep stars Emmy®-award-winning actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who has starred in popular series like Seinfield and Curb your Enthusiasm.  Created and led onscreen by Lena Dunham, Girls takes a comic look at the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of women in their early 20s living in New York City. The series, which has already been renewed for a second season, focuses on the girls’ adventures in post-collegiate floundering.  A fresh and intimate look at friendship, relationships and self-discovery, Girls is a contemporary coming-of-age show that packs humor, farce and poignancy into each episode. Through four distinct characters, who may seem unlikely friends to some, Girls shines through as a voice of the post-recession generation who can hardly afford lunch, let alone Manolos. In addition to Lena Dunham as the anxious, rumpled Hannah, the cast of Girls includes Jemima Kirke as the beautiful Jessa, allergic to all things bourgeois; Allison Williams as Marnie, Hannah’s uptight roommate with strict rules about their best-friendship; Zosia Mamet (Mad Men) as Shoshanna, an NYU student and Jessa’s self-help obsessed roommate and cousin; and Adam Driver (HBO’s You Don’t know Jack) As Hannah’s love interest, Adam.

True Detective Provides Talented Acting and Exciting Plot
True Detective provides talented acting and exciting plot HBO’s True Detective has been one of the best shows to come to television in recent years. With its riveting action sequences, sizzling erotic scenes, and amazing cast, this program, directed by Cary Fukanaga, truly provides audiences with gripping television. Set in the mid-1990s and filmed in Louisiana, detectives Martin Hart (Woody Harrelson) and Rustin “Rust” Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) are on the trail of a ritual-obsessed serial killer who adorns his victims’ bodies with antlers and other symbols. Told mostly through flashbacks, the show cuts to scenes of the detectives being interviewed in present day, with hints at their possible corruption. The excitement of the program comes with the transition between seasons, with each season having a completely new story and cast. This format ensures that the viewer is never left with a cliffhanger, as all the questions have to be answered by the last episode of each season. For me, actors have done their job when they are completely absorbed in their part and the audience no longer sees an actor, but only a character. McConaughey and Harrelson achieve this feat and truly bring these characters off the screen and into our living rooms. However, where these actors really excel is their power to tell a story. Now, one might think that storytelling comes from the writer, but the detectives’ use of facial expressions, along with slight mannerisms to get their intended message across, certainly brings the show to a whole new level. However, the area in which this series is lacking is where so many other great shows today excel—the presence of strong female characters.

True Detective Stories: Media Textuality and the Anthology Format Between Remediation and Transmedia Narratives
True detective stories: media textuality and the anthology format between remediation and transmedia narratives Cristina Demaria Premises: which ‘theory’?

The Digital, the Arts, and the Humanities (Kinder and McPherson 2014), Katherine Hayles reaffirms the “importance” of Media-Specific analysis as a way to substitute the language of text with «a more precise vocabulary of screen and page, digital program and analog interface, code and ink (…) texton and scripton, computer and book» (pos. 733)1.
