  • Horace Grant Gay Erotic Fan Fiction by Smacko It Was the Day That Joey
    Horace Grant Gay Erotic Fan Fiction By Smacko It was the day that Joey had always dreamed of. He was finally getting the chance to meet his favorite basketball player, Horace Grant of the Chicago Bulls. He was so excited to finally meet his idol. He was ushered into the dressing room by Phil Jackson. Phil told him that he was really going to enjoy finally meeting Horace and that Horace was one of his favorite players. As he brought Joey into the locker room, Joey noticed that many of the other Bulls players were on there way out and there was no sight of Horace. At first Joey was disappointed. Finally after the rest of the Bulls players had left, Phil told him that Horace should be out of the showers anytime and that he had to go to a meeting with the owner of the team, Jerry Kraus. Finally Horace emerged from the showers only wearing a towel. Joey ran over and said “Hey Horace, I am your biggest fan.” Horace chuckled and said “I have been looking forward to meeting you for some time.” Joey could see the outline of a large member underneath his towel. Horace hugged Joey close and Joey could feel his pulsing member quivering against him. He suddenly became more aroused than he had ever been before. The feeling of Horace’s member against him sent chills up his spine. As he backed away he shivered in delight. Horace said “I have a surprise that you are going to love.” He reached into his towel and pulled out a set of Rec Specs TM.

  • Design Justice: Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We
    Design Justice Information Policy Series Edited by Sandra Braman The Information Policy Series publishes research on and analysis of significant problems in the field of information policy, including decisions and practices that enable or constrain information, communication, and culture irrespective of the legal siloes in which they have traditionally been located, as well as state- law- society interactions. Defining information policy as all laws, regulations, and decision- making principles that affect any form of information creation, processing, flows, and use, the series includes attention to the formal decisions, decision- making processes, and entities of government; the formal and informal decisions, decision- making processes, and entities of private and public sector agents capable of constitutive effects on the nature of society; and the cultural habits and predispositions of governmentality that support and sustain government and governance. The parametric functions of information policy at the boundaries of social, informational, and technological systems are of global importance because they provide the context for all communications, interactions, and social processes.

  • The Upshot on Princess Merida in Disney/Pixar's Brave: Why The
    humanities Article The Upshot on Princess Merida in Disney/Pixar’s Brave: Why the Tomboy Trajectory Is Off Target Lauren Dundes Department of Sociology, McDaniel College, Westminster, MD 21157, USA; [email protected] Received: 25 June 2020; Accepted: 14 August 2020; Published: 16 August 2020 Abstract: Princess Merida, the “tomboy” princess in Disney/Pixar’s Brave, won praise for escaping the strictures of femininity and maternal demands for feminine propriety. In addition to her overt defiance of gender roles and demand for agency, Merida also enacts hegemonic masculinity by mocking her suitors during an archery contest in which she is the prize. The ridicule is the prelude to her dramatic, winning bullseye that feminizes the men, in a scene rich in symbolism about gender and power. In enacting the final phase of the tomboy paradigm, however, Merida reverses her trajectory as her rebellion against femininity ebbs. She then resolves conflict by displaying vulnerability rather than performing brave deeds. This marked shift to a more traditional gender role raises questions about her stature as a model of autonomy able to withstand the pressure to conform. Keywords: Disney princess; gender stereotypes; hegemonic masculinity; gender roles; archery; bullseye; humor; tomboy; emasculation 1. Introduction The influence of Disney productions in socializing children has prompted significant discourse about what their content teaches young viewers (Giroux 1999; Zipes 2015), especially with the advent of the Disney Plus network. From its release in November 2019 until April 2020, Disney Plus attracted subscriptions in excess of 50 million (Swartz 2020). The corporate juggernaut’s expanding dominance has resulted in calls to examine the values promulgated in its programming, with the perpetuation of gender stereotypes among the chief concerns (Dundes et al.

  • Weakly Supervised Machine Learning for Cyberbullying Detection
    Weakly Supervised Machine Learning for Cyberbullying Detection Elaheh Raisi Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science and Applications Bert Huang, Chair Naren Ramakrishnan Madhav V. Marathe Gang Wang Richard Y. Han March 28, 2019 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Machine Learning, Weak Supervision, Cyberbullying detection, Social Media, Co-trained Ensemble Copyright 2019, Elaheh Raisi Weakly Supervised Machine Learning for Cyberbullying Detection Elaheh Raisi (ABSTRACT) The advent of social media has revolutionized human communication, significantly improving individuals lives. It makes people closer to each other, provides access to enormous real-time information, and eases marketing and business. Despite its uncountable benefits, however, we must consider some of its negative implications such as online harassment and cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is becoming a serious, large-scale problem damaging people's online lives. This phenomenon is creating a need for automated, data-driven techniques for analyzing and detecting such behaviors. In this research, we aim to address the computational challenges associated with harassment-based cyberbullying detection in social media by developing machine-learning framework that only requires weak supervision. We propose a general framework that trains an ensemble of two learners in which each learner looks at the problem from a different perspective. One learner identifies bullying incidents by examining the language content in the message; another learner considers the social structure to discover bullying. Each learner is using different body of information, and the individual learner co-train one another to come to an agreement about the bullying concept.
