In my book I argue that IP fandoms are a crucial part of the economic model of the current media monopoly landscape, as fan campaigns drive down the value of creative labor via harassment and disposability, scare artists from taking risks with IP, and give execs a direct fan base all their own

Charlotte@fireantprincess.bsky.social

I think a lot could be said about how fandoms are very much structured to be consumerist without any critical analysis of capitalist production, and how this is the logical end result of that.

Marissa Mayer was pulling down about $60m a year as CEO at Yahoo, presumably for the type of blue-sky thinking that translates to struggling to be able name even three traits of your own child

In which the ABC establishes a clear history of longstanding mental illness in a man whose political views considerably overlapped with those of Helen Haines… Only to go on to draw the longest bow in the world by platforming Dr Josh Roose, who links anti-Zionism with unhinged mental illness.

Simon Rosenberg@simonrosenberg.bsky.social

The Australian PM is lecturing us to "turn down the temperature" on rhetoric which may incite violence. Here is actual violence, brutality and crimes against humanity that his allies, US and Israel, routinely perpetrate. Yet Albanese says nothing. He just turns up the hypocrisy. #auspol

Requiring everybody to use their full real name & location in all public comments would make a lot of women way more unsafe. So many men-commentators on 'society' don't consider that women often don't have the freedoms they take for granted. www.smh.com.au/national/i-b...

CEO getting increasingly angry over the majority of questions being some form of "how do you know all this AI shit is adding value?" one guy asked what metric did they use to decide it was worth rolling it out into all of their products and his answer was because why else would we do it?

he's now demanding to know the names of who asked each question (they're anonymous), so this is going well i don't know if questions about value add should be off the table when our stock price is tanking but i'm not in the c-suite
