i.e. to follow a media environment is to participate it and be influenced by it

I don't think that works out – if your beat is to follow parliamentary debates in a country with a toxic political culture, you will inevitably be overexposed to toxic content, compared to e.g. a colleague who is mostly studying political philosophy

Buddy we just talked about nationalist Italians claiming a broader region for settler purposes than modern-day Italy. The "geographic crucible" is socially constructed

I remember a few pieces of testimony by trans men who were shocked by how distracting things like tight clothing became after taking testosterone. They just assumed it was a collective male willpower issue or something instead of… brain chemistry

Think in this case a TV boycott has greater influence than the NYT (despite the latter, of course, living rent free in every Blueskyer’s head)

My two cents: a lot of the juicy facts are true-ish but the inferences drawn between them are likely weak or overextended. The sex stuff seems mostly for sensationalist reasons – there’s no real attempt at comparison to e.g. your average Bay Area leftist group’s kissing graph

That’s not from November 2023, like the supposed boycott in your original link, nor is it affiliated with BDS or Palestinians

So first it all the question was actually “kids right now who are struggling or are maybe being bullied right now”. Your focus is on the maybe being bullied part of the question, while the respondent appears to focus on the who are struggling part

You need to jump through so many rhetorical hoops to get from this message to a negative interpretation. Invoking the cliché: waffles

Don’t retreat when people complain, saying it’s “all natural” and how Hollywood just behaves on its own. You did activism and change happened

Also related to the progressive adage “Celebrate your victories”. If you lobby for more representation in Hollywood films and 10 years later there is more representation in Hollywood films that is good! You won a battle there!

She’s telling them that the world is not against them and that these are just lone voices amplified by the media and by algorithms. Seems important

Seriously they should have at least merged books 1 and 2 into season 1. The first Harry Potter book is like 1/5th the size of the first Game of Thrones novel!
