Week 5: Digital Community and Fandom

The realm of digital community is as diverse as it could be. From fandoms to the reality TV show, the digital age has transformed how we interact and engage with one another online and offline.

𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝

Although audiences are thought to be passive in the past, that itself has been debunked by today's digital age, where fans have gone from passive audiences to active "producers" and "prosumers" (Sundet & Ytreberg 2009).

A great example of this are fan communities called fandoms. In the ecosystem of fandoms, a fan is not restricted to just consuming, often or not they involved themselves in the art of influencers.

Fans themselves had become writers, creators and advocates within their communities (Jenkins 2006).

Fans Turned Writers

Many fans of different fandoms gather together on Wattpad to discover, create, and share their fanfiction. Some fans even become a writer themselves, eventually publishing their own original novels.

The popular series "Fifty Shades of Grey" is perhaps the most famous example of a fanfiction being a popular published series (Carlo 2023).

Power of Fans in Reality TV

Reality TV shows are great example of how digital communities transcend passive viewership, transforming fans into active participants who shape the narrative and culture surrounding their favorite shows. Some reality tv shows involves their fans by holding public voting, allowing the fans to vote for their favorite or alternatively vote for someone to be removed from the show.

Classic reality TV show -- Survivor, audiences gets to choose which contestant gets vote off the show (Editors of Encyclopedia 2024).

In conclusion, the digital age has revolutionized the dynamics of audience engagement, turning passive viewers into active participants, creators, and influencers. Whether through fanfiction on platforms like Wattpad or interactive reality TV shows like Survivor, fans now play a crucial role in shaping content and culture, and what we see today.

tic my dear friend tic tell me about your favorite batb headcanons :3

Omgomg how can I pick favorites? Ok I'll try to limit myself to a few

Chapeau experiences phantom limb after the curse, feeling like he should have four arms rather than two. Belle and Maurice try to make him a set of fake wooden arms to curb the discomfort.

Despite being so dedicated to his job (too much really), Cogsworth does have his hobbies. Specifically, art! He keeps a little journal of charcoal sketches, mainly of his coworkers or the castle's cat, and on rare occasions, he'll put the time and effort into painting as well.

Lumiere tends to be quite forgetful, perhaps even flighty, but he puts a lot of effort into remembering things about people: birthdays, favorite foods, music taste, etc. As far as practical stuff though, Babette is around to keep his head on straight at least.

Speaking of Babette, she also gets some... Changes, after the curse. Patches of white feathers have sprouted on her wrists and ankles. They're a bit awkward, but Lumiere insists they're beautifully unique and angelic.

Adam hates summer. Even now that he's human again, he gets unbearably hot in the summer weather. The nights aren't so bad though, when a breeze has started and the fireflies dance and Belle lays across his lap to read.

READINGS - Painting, Parapraxes, and Unconscious Intentions by Jeffrey L Geller.

Geller, Jeffrey L. “Painting, Parapraxes, and Unconscious Intentions.” The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, vol. 51, no. 3, July 1993, pp. 377–87.

“Richard Wollheim in Painting as an Art analyzes paintings as parapraxes, near-actions motivated in part by unconscious intentions. His analysis is a variant of intentionalism, whose first principle is that artworks are products of human action. For the purposes of his study, Wollheim defines intentions as “desires, thoughts, beliefs, experiences, emotions, [and] commitments, which cause the artist to paint as he does” (p.19), this opening the door for inquiries into both conscious and unconscious intentions” (Geller 377). 

“In his treatment of unconsciously motivated paintings, Wollheim shows that the explanatory poles of painter and painting can be reversed. The painting reveals the painter’s intentions, his analyses show, no less than the painter’s intentions illuminate the painting” (Geller 377). 

“Both argue that the painter and the painting are to be understood in tandem, that the two are inseparable from the point of view of art history” (Geller 377). 

“Difficulties arise when the spectator is asked to appreciate a work that exceeds the horizon of her experience and imagination” (Geller 378). 

“Painters whose works are worth viewing tap into a common ground of shared human experience that facilitates spectatorial appreciation. The common ground shared by spectators, including the painter in her spectatorial capacity, is “human nature”, the universality of which is a resource for communication and a guide to the artist as to the parameters of receptivity” (Geller 378). 

“...though it is a matter of decision or convention what is the specific range of elements that the artist appropriates as his repertoire and out of which on any given occasion he makes his selection, underlying this there is a basis in nature to the communication of emotion…” (Qtd in Geller 379). 

“The basis in nature is the universal element necessary for successful artistic expression. The criterion the painter used to evaluate his work in this regard is his own spectatorial response to the painting” (Geller 379). 

“Instead of celebrating and “autonomous” creativity that places virtually impossible demands on spectators (since the mental states of artists who have gone out of their way to cultivate alienation are difficult to recapture), Wollheim’s theory celebrates the painter who is skilled at discerning the common ground that makes reception possible” (Geller 379). 

“Painting functions on the same principles as language, according to this view, in that both derive their meaning from conventional codes and the interrelations among signifiers rather than from extra-semiotic reality” (Geller 380). 

“To explain how the meaning of painting originates outside of an order of linguistic or quasi linguistic signifiers, Wollheim relies heavily on psychoanalysis” (Geller 381).  

“To the extent that a painting is motivated by unconscious intentions, it is simultaneously the carrying out and the discovery of the painter’s intentions: it is the disclosure of the intentions behind the painting” (Geller 383). 

“The emergence of archaic “sensations of sense” and “sensations of activity,” which in a sense “ground” human knowledge, according to Wollheim, demonstrate the expressive power of the primitive part of the human psyche” (Geller 383). 

“When unconscious mental contents are expressed, it is important that they express themselves. Bearing this consideration in mind, it is clear that the painter needn’t and shouldn’t concern herself with the degree of match between her unconscious intentions and her painting. Such concern would only obstruct the expression of these very intentions” (Geller 385).

Buddhist group buys land near Las Vegas Strip to build temple

During a cold afternoon in Budapest in 2014, Buddhism’s purported world leader walked up a hillside with his entourage. The air was chilly and smelly.

“It is so stinky!” the followers said. But the Buddha trudged on, and near the mountaintop, a toddler tried to bow before him.

The World Buddhism Association Headquarters recounted this story in a post on a religious website. The same group plans to build a temple near the Las Vegas Strip.

The Southern California-based organization bought 12.2 acres of mostly vacant property at Sahara Avenue and Paradise Road, next to the SLS Las Vegas, for $17.5 million. The sale closed July 24, Clark County records show.

The Buddhist group paid cash, according to a broker on the deal.

The buyers don’t have the money to start construction. But if they land the funds, they would build an unexpected – if not “deeply ironic,” as one observer put it – project near Las Vegas’ rowdy casino corridor.

World Buddhism Association Headquarters attorney Steven Meyers initially said the Buddha “has no relation whatsoever” to the buyers. But federal tax and California state records show links between them — and, according to one news report, the supposed holy man was once wanted for arrest by Interpol.

No construction anytime soon

Meyers said in an email that the “main purpose” of buying the land was “to build a Buddhist temple” that will be used for “philanthropic purposes to benefit the public.”

“Precisely because the Las Vegas Strip is a place known for excessive drinking, eating, gambling, and other behavior,” he said, the buyers want to spread the teachings of Buddhism so that people “who do not understand the meaning of life can learn to … help others, benefit society, and contribute to making our country better and stronger.”

Despite the cash purchase, Meyers said the Pasadena, California-based organization “has very limited funds,” and “there is no possibility of quickly beginning” construction.

Raymond Chen, listed in California records as its CEO, could not be reached for comment.

His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III

Efforts to learn about the group’s day-to-day operations were unsuccessful, though it is mentioned, among other places, on the Xuanfa Institute’s website, where the story of the smelly trek appeared.

The website seems devoted to the man who led the hike: His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III, an artist and Chinese native also known as Wan Ko Yee.

According to Meyers, Yee is “the highest leader of Buddhism in the entire world.” A U.S. House resolution in 2008 sought to recognize him “as the true incarnation of the primordial Buddha.”

Professor Robert Buswell, director of UCLA’s Center for Buddhist Studies, said in an email that he has “heard periodically over the years about this Dorje Chang Buddha III,” but added, “I have no idea how he would have received this title, and presume it is a self-investiture.”

In 2015, the Pasadena Star-News reported that Yee was wanted for allegedly stealing more than $7 million in China. Interpol sought his arrest but eventually backed off, the paper reported.

According to Meyers, China asked Interpol in 2009 to withdraw the warrant, and Interpol notified its member countries that they were “not permitted to detain” Yee.

Interpol’s press office told the Review-Journal that arrest warrants are always issued by police in member countries, and it referred questions to relevant national authorities. A spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not respond to a request for comment.

Federal tax records show that Yee is a former chairman of the International Art Museum of America, which was “first conceived as a permanent museum solely dedicated” to the Buddha’s artwork, its website says. The museum’s corporate secretary and the World Buddhism Association Headquarters’ chief executive have the same mailing address — a house in Monterey Park, California — and the groups have the same chief financial officer, according to California state records.

Loretta Huang, director of museum operations, said in an email that she has not had any “dealings” with the World Buddhism Association Headquarters since she joined the San Francisco museum in 2013 and that she learned from a Review-Journal reporter that they share a finance chief.

Yee resigned from the museum’s board in 2011, according to Meyers, who also said it’s “very common for one person to hold an office or position in multiple entities,” in reference to the CFO.

He did not provide information about the officials with the shared mailing address in Monterey Park, saying he has “no right to inquire into the private matters of others.”

‘Questionable extreme’

In Las Vegas, the World Buddhism Association Headquarters acquired a parking lot just east of the Strip with a Monorail station along the perimeter.

Avison Young broker Ben Millis, who represented the sellers, said his group targeted hotel operators, condo developers and other possible buyers. He couldn’t recall how the Buddhist group even learned about the site.

“This was a surprise,” he said.

Las Vegas Monorail spokeswoman Ingrid Reisman said the sale will not affect its operations.

The site was owned by the Bennett family, whose patriarch, the late Bill Bennett, bought or developed several casinos on the Strip, including the Sahara, as the SLS was formerly known.

Paragon Gaming co-founder Diana Bennett, Bill Bennett’s daughter, said she had no comment on the transaction because the land was held by a family trust “of which I’m only a part.” The sale was handled by an outside trust company, and Bennett said she was “not really directly involved” in the deal.

Michael Parks of CBRE Group, a former listing broker for the site, noted the resort corridor is not devoid of religion. A 1960s-era Catholic church is near the Encore and a 1990s-era Catholic church is near the Tropicana.

Still, professor Dale Wright, who teaches Asian religions at Occidental College in Los Angeles, said a Buddhist temple near Las Vegas’ alcohol-soaked and gambling-packed tourist scene would be viewed as “deeply ironic.”

“The most authentic temples are built in contemplative contexts,” Wright said in an email. “Although being in public and serving the people would be admirable qualities, the Vegas Strip is pushing this to a questionable extreme.”

Pneumatoraptor fodori

By Jack Wood 

Etymology: Thief of Air

First Described By: Ősi, Apesteguía & Kowalewski, 2010

Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Maniraptoromorpha, Maniraptoriformes, Maniraptora, Pennaraptora, Paraves

Status: Extinct

Time and Place: 85 million years ago, in the Santonian of the Late Cretaceous 

Pneumatoraptor is known from the Csehbánya Formation of Hungary 

Physical Description: Pneumatoraptor is a small Paravian, aka the group of dinosaurs that includes birds and proto-birds, raptors, and Troodontids. However, we have no idea what sort of Paravian Pneumatoraptor would have been, if any. It is only known from the left shoulder, which shows that it had a very narrow and hollow shoulder bone than its relatives. Beyond that, we have no idea what it may have looked like - it could have been from any of the three main Paravian groups (Avialans, Troodontids, and Dromaeosaurs). It probably would have been very small, only about 0.73 meters in body length. It definitely would have been covered in feathers all over its body, including complex wings. Teeth, claws, vertebrae, and part of the leg bone of Pneumatoraptor may have been found in its ecosystem, but the jury is still out.

Diet: It is uncertain what Pneumatoraptor would have eaten. Since it isn’t a definite dromaeosaur, we can’t say confidently that it was carnivorous; many creatures at the base of the Paravian tree are possibly omnivores. In addition, early raptors (which Pneumatoraptor may have been) seem to have been piscivores! So the jury is out till we have its jaw.

Behavior: Without more fossils, it’s uncertain what Pneumatoraptor’s behavior would have been like, since it could have been one of three very distinctive dinosaur groups (or something else entirely). Based on its relatives, it probably was very active and warm-blooded, took care of its young, and used its wings and tail fan in display and communication. It may have even been able to fly poorly, but that’s just speculation on my part.

Ecosystem: The Csehbánya Formation has been a flourishing site of extensive research over the past few years, as more and more fossils come out of the ecosystem to show a slice of Late Cretaceous life in Eastern Europe. This was a plant-heavy forest ecosystem, with extensive mud, silt, clay, and sand throughout the environment. River channels flooded through the ecosystem, providing water for the extensive number of animals present. Here, Pneumatoraptor lived alongside many other dinosaurs - the small Ceratopsian Ajkaceratops; two fast-moving ankylosaurs, Hungarosaurus and Struthiosaurus, the Rhabdodont ornithopod Mochlodon, the predatory opposite bird Bauxitornis, and plenty of unnamed dinosaurs including an Abelisaurid and a Sauropod. Pneumatoraptor would have feared predation by the Abelisaurid. Non-dinosaurs were extensive too - the pterosaur Bakonydraco, a variety of turtles, many kinds of weird lizards including a Mosasaur, a variety of frogs, many fish and insects, and crocodyliformes - including Kharkutosuchus and Doratodon. Going forward, more research on this ecosystem is sure to reveal even more weird creatures!

Other: Pneumatoraptor was extremely small for its group, indicating it may be closer to Avialans than to Dromaeosaurs.

M13U1A1 Globalization and Education

INTRO

There was a phrase that my middle-school self promised to never utter, “I am a middle-school teacher.” Well, I am a middle school teacher and have been for the last four years. The school I work at, Pride Prep, was founded under a vision of project and action based learning with an emphasis on relationship based teaching. It was understood that we would not unionize because the school would take care of us. Though we would be required by state law to participate in standardized tests, as an organization we would not pay attention to the results. There we stood, a public charter school, free from the restraints of the system, able to focus only on the well being of the students. 

Given my background in construction, graphic design, and CNC operation I been hired run the school’s maker-space. However, the school was short on math teacher, so instead of helping kids build projects I found myself in the classroom teaching math. I had no formal mathematics background, had never taught before so I didn’t know enough to know better. I tailored my curriculum around my construction, design, and business background.  The students built board games, chairs, and copper art pieces. Each build was a different iteration of scaling, fractions/decimals, perimeter/area, addition, subtraction, multiplication, unit rate and so on. The students would then cost and price the products for resale so that we could use the profit to buy new supplies. For me it was a blur of a year; a trial by fire of classroom management. For the kids it was an illumination of the power of math as a real world tool.

TESTING

As a public school we where required to participate in state testing. We went in with our chins up, knowing the growth our student’s had made, hopeful that we would score on par with other public schools in our district. Our CEO (also acting as principal) reassured us that the test scores did not matter but when the test scores came out changes started happening in the school. We had performed on par with schools of similar demographics but it turned out the public scrutiny of the tests had more sway than was originally anticipated (see https://create.piktochart.com/output/20093013-u2m3a1-sps-and-pride-prep).  As was discussed in Minori Nagahra’s (2011, p.375) review of Globalizing Education Policy, our school was about to start, “implement[ing] policies set elsewhere and have [our] school achieve according to various league tables of performance indicators.”

The following year, in response to the test score, we created our schedule around the needs of the math department on the premise that math is very linear and sequential and requires a solid foundation of concepts before progressing. The problem with this was the unintentional ‘tracking’ of students in other classes. Tracking, or the leveling of students based on demonstrated abilities, is a very controversial topic. Research has shown that tracking sets the stage for a student’s self expectations such that when they are in what is perceived to be a ‘dumb’ class they have a very hard time breaking the mold. While students in mixed level classes have a much easier time stepping up to greater challenges. In addition, “Data shows minority and low-income students are few and far between in high level and Advanced Placement courses,” (Brindley, 2015, p.4). Our admin was aware of the problems with tracking and has since done their best to juggle students schedules so that they can have a leveled math class while maintaining mixed abilities in other disciplines.

This year, however, I was not on the math team. I had signed up for my teacher certificate training with Teach Now and was on track to becoming a science teacher. As such I was given a science class and joined up with the science team to develop curriculum. In silent response to the test scores we aligned the curriculum with The Next Generation Science Standards. We used them to develop projects that ensured students had exposure to a more mainstream science curriculum. The past year science was run as an inquiry based workshop where students led their lines of inquiry based on their areas of interest. The core standards were addressed by means of the online platform Summit PLP. 

As a result of the curriculum change, science projects became more like simulations than actual inquiries. We incorporated more practice and rote skill building into class time without a solid demonstration of the need for the skills. This diminished engagement thus begged the question of how do we keep up engagement while also giving students the tools they need to do well on a standardized test. We answered this question by incorporating design into the science curriculum. If we where studying keystone species we would have the students do a deep dive into one species, make a custom t-shirt and then sell them at venues to make money to be donated to conservation and preservation organizations. We also made backstories for the different experiments and workshops we did so the students had a colorful notion of why they where doing what they where doing. This payed off as our test scores in science where 74% passing while the state average was 63%.

RIGOR, CITICENSHIP & CAPITOL

The increase in test scores was not enough for our parents. There was a large cry out for more rigor in our school. The implementation of design in science and the remnants of inquiry based learning gave the parents the impression that we more of an arts and crafts school than an academic institution. Some wanted more ditto work others wanted more instruction. And while the school was founded on internationalist principles as defined in the article, Internationalism and Globalization as a Context for International Education, We would need to take on more of a globalist (as defined in the same article) approach to making our school a more desirable, thus competitive, institution (Cambridge & Thompson, 2004, p.164). A school school needs money to operate. Our first two years we had money from Bill Gates to fall back on but we made a choice as an institution to not use it unless we had no other options. Gates is an avid supporter of charter schools and even though ours is a public charter school, it is a step in the direction of public money for private charter schools. Our school was not founded on the neoliberal idea that schools should be part of a Laze Faire, free market (Nagahra, 2011, p.373). Instead it was conceived of as a dynamic institution that could defy union norms in the interest of a rich education. We hoped to be a school that students wanted to be at because we where doing the right things. 

The parents, however, had a hard time swallowing such an optimistic pill.  Naturally they wanted their kids to go out into the world and be successful and more often than not this involved attending college.  Even though we where using a vetted program to ensure students where getting their required standards, Summit PLP, we had to respond to the call. Since we are a public school we are allocated dollars by the number of students we have. If the numbers go down the budget goes down. If the budget goes down we loose the resources to implement great projects. If we loose the great projects we loose more students. Eventually we loose the school.

As a response to the call, our CEO decided to begin the acceptance process into the International Baccalaureate  program. This would lend credibility to our program and give us a framework to steer our projects. There are ivy league schools on the east coast that look at students with IB diplomas as their first draft (J. Ewan, personal communication, 2014)*. And what a way to level the playing field. Our school has around 50% free and reduced lunch. And students come from all walks of life. The only other school in our city to offer IB is a private school that charges over $30,000 a year in tuition and recruits wealthy students from china as a staple source of income. This does make the school more international but it also perpetuates the schism between the haves and have nots. 

Ans so it was, for the next two years we steeped ourselves in ATL’s, Global Contexts, and Statements of Inquiry. We tried very hard to balance the rigorous academic expectations of IB, with the original project based philosophies of our school. When things became too academic parents again stepped up with complaints. Only this time the complaints where that the school had lost its focus on project based learning. The drive to compete to be an institution that creates college candidates had overridden the desire to make well rounded, experienced, and thoughtful citizens capable of solving alien problems. On the down side we finished last year, our fourth year, with a higher than average attrition rate. We lost teachers mid year because they could not handle the pressure of balancing the IB with meeting the social emotional needs of kids from all walks of life. However, we are a resilient and dynamic (sometimes too dynamic) institution. And while we never will find a perfect solution to balance out the requirements of a free market competitive system with that of creating global citizens and stewards, we will continue to work creatively within the parameters we are given to maintain the first with the true aim of creating the latter.

So I know everyone is losing their minds about the lore drops & Amtity & Luz stuff from this EP, but I just wanted to take a moment to talk about Gus cuz this was a big ep for him and no one is talking about it much (that I’ve seen)

So like, here’s my breakdown & thoughts

We got to hear more about how Gus feels about being in a higher grade and his magic (which knowing someone that was moved up grades when they were young, it did seem realistic)

We learned more about Glandus High and what it’s like being a student there

We learned a fair bit about illusionists and how they’re viewed, it’s pretty interesting that they are seen as weak, even though we’ve seen just how strong they can be, esp for tricks & spy work (like turning invisible), along with sending messages long ways (I sorta wonder if Belos may have made them seen as weak so it’d be less likely for people to try to spy on him)

Gus had made a friendenemy outside the main cast! (Since they started joking with each other and are gonna hang out on weekends I think we’re gonna see more of Mattholomule & Gus’s relationship)

Gus is gonna be learning more about old illusionist magic and had befriend a old (+maybe powerful) illusionist, I think he might start learning better spells or ones that aren’t learnt at school

These ruins Gus & Mattholomule seem to be important, since they have things that can make people more powerful and were used in marketing, I think they might come into play as a big part of the story.

As a whole this EP seemed to have Gus’s story as the A plot with Luz’s story as the B plot, which was bold & I enjoyed, though it makes me sad that poeple aren’t talking as much about Gus’s side of things, he’s a very cool character and seems to have things that could tie him to the bigger plot (these ruins, the fact that he has interest in the human world aka might know more about Philip Wittebane, has magic that doesn’t need to overpower someone to deal with them (for real, a illusionist spell done at the right moment, in the right context could easily take down Belos, he thinks he’s got the door when really it’s a man-eating plant or something like that)

The whistleblower behind the leak of an enormous cache of Facebook documents to the Wall Street Journal, Frances Haugen, went public on 60 Minutes on Sunday, revealing more of the inner workings the most powerful social media platform in the world. Revealing her identity on national television, Haugen described a company so committed to product optimization that it embraced algorithms that amplify hate speech.

“It’s paying for its profits with our safety,” Haugen told 60 Minutes host Scott Pelley.

According to a since deleted LinkedIn profile Haugen was a product manager at Facebook assigned to the Civic Integrity group. She chose to leave the company in 2021 after the dissolving of the group. She said she didn’t “trust that they’re willing to invest what actually needs to be invested to keep Facebook from being dangerous.” "“There was conflict... between what was good for the public and what was good for Facebook”"

Consequently she leaked a cache of internal research to the Securities and Exchange Commission in the hopes of driving better regulation of the company. She noted that she had worked at a number of companies, including Google and Pinterest, but that “it was substantially worse at Facebook” due to the company’s desire to put its profits over the welfare of its users

“There was conflict... between what was good for the public and what was good for Facebook,” Haugen told Pelley, “and Facebook chose over and over again to optimize for its own interests — like making more money.”

While the company repeatedly claims it is helping stop hate speech, at least on its own products, one internal Facebook document leaked by Haugen says, “We estimate that we may action as little as 3-5% of hate and ~0.6% of V&I [Violence and Incitement] on Facebook despite being the best in the world at it.” "“Misinformation, toxicity, and violent content are inordinately prevalent among reshares,” said an internal document"

Another document was even more blunt. “We have evidence from a variety of sources that hate speech, divisive political speech, and misinformation on Facebook and the family of apps are affecting societies around the world.”

Haugen claims the root of the problem is the algorithims rolled out in 2018 that govern what you see on the platform. According to her they are meant to drive engagement and the company has found that the best engagement is the kind instilling fear and hate in users. “Its easier to inspire people to anger than it is to other emotions,” Hagen said.

At the time, Mark Zuckerberg presented the algorithm changes as positive. “We feel a responsibility to make sure our services aren’t just fun to use, but also good for people’s well-being.”

But according to the Wall Street Journal’s reporting on Haugen’s concerns, the result was a sharp turn towards anger and hate. “Misinformation, toxicity, and violent content are inordinately prevalent among reshares,” said one internal memo quoted by the Journal, assessing the effects of the change.

The Wall Street Journal began publishing its findings from the cache under the name “The Facebook Files” in September. One report alleging Facebook had research proving Instagram harmed teenage girls has since led to a Congressional hearing. Ahead of the hearing Facebook attempted to change the narrative in a blog post, which reproduced two of the reports referred to in the Journal’s reporting.

Ahead of the 60 Minutes report, Facebook attempted the same deflections in a different form. Facebook Vice President of Global Affair Nick Clegg appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources to defend the company on Sunday afternoon, just hours before Haugen would appear.

“I think that’s ludicrous,” Clegg said of the allegation that social media was responsible for the January 6 riots. “I think it gives people false comfort to assume that there must be a technological, or technical, explanation for the issues of political polarization in the United States.”

Haugen ended the interview by calling for regulation of social networks more broadly, something Facebook itself has called for in more limited form. She is scheduled to appear before a Senate Commerce panel on Tuesday.

Thought I should share this since talking about facebook is popular today

McCree’s New Skin, A Thread

[ID: A thread of three tweets by twitter user @Kittydoesstuff1 (AKA The op of this post)

Tweet one: Y'know i'm really happy about having more news about #overwatch2 and I do for the most part like the new designs, but I have a very big problem with one of them: From what I can tell McCree's new design is a fair bit paler/lighter then his ow1 self, which seems to be a bad habit- 

Tweet two: -Of his skins, and also is a big problem within the fandom so this new skin is only going to make that worse, and the thing is: As a fandom we know that we can get the OW team to update skins, I mean remember the Hanzo skin they changed due to his fans? We should talk about this- 

Tweet three: -speak up about it, make it so @Blizzard_Ent has to take a look and do better. Also if you don't belive me take a lot for yourself #Blizzcon #Blizzconline2021 #Overwatch @PlayOverwatch 

On tweet three the op added two pictures of McCree from Overwatch, the first picture is from the first game’s select menu, he is light brown. The second picture is a promo render for Overwatch 2, in this picture McCree is several shades lighter then he is in the first game. ID End]

Yeah I’m pretty unhappy with he they’ve redesigned McCree and as a fandom we got to hold them accountable for this, we did when they made Hanzo look a bit old, I think we can do it when they make a brown character look about as pale as Widowmaker’s vampire skin.

Horror and the writer.

When you think of horror literature who is the first writer you think of? Stephen King, the king of horror or is it William Peter Blatty the writer who terrified a nation when his novel became one of the best horror films to scare a generation or maybe it is the father of horror Edgar Allan Poe, either way at least one of these writers have been the reason for your cold sweats or your trembling hands. 

Like most genre’s writers of horror want to reach out through their pages and grip you with their words of terror, pull you into a world where anything goes, cause you to feel the fear course through your veins. That is what makes the genre great. The readers reaction, their imaginations going into overdrive when reading the words on the page like you’re stuck in a trap of a never-ending woods you want to leave but you are intrigued by the surroundings. Katerina Batinaki argues this fact in The Paradox of Horror: Fear as the positive emotion1 she uses the essay to explore why we love the emotions that horror literature elicit in us, concluding that it is because of the safe environment in which we read that we allow ourselves to divulge in the fear and disgust resulting in the excitement of it all. With writing horror I hope to embody the tips and tricks of the trade from the likes of Stephen King and the other masters of the genre. I would like to terrorize my readers as well as William Peter Blatty has done with The Exorcist, capture their interest.

Stephen King has been viewed as the ‘King’ of horror, when he gives you advice on how to write that very genre you take notes. In Bustle’s 10 tips for writing horror from the masters of the genre King states that there are three types of terror that can freak anyone out “the gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, […] The horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, […] and the last and worse one: terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute.”2 these three things can be found in almost all of the horror stories in one way or the other whether it is in a Stephen King book or in a short story from a collection for example The house of the head3 by Josh Malerman in the New Fears4 collection, where the horror appears in a dolls house. Josh Malerman paced it perfectly from the moment of Elvie getting the doll house to the severed head that appears in the house and the haunting truly begins.

Horror will always hold you captive in a state of fear with trembling hands you will still sit glued to the screen watching Ragan levitate in the air or flip the page and imagine the horror as a simple phrase is written We all float down here5, it is when this happens you know you have read (or seen) a good piece of horror literature.

Fewer health troubles for older workers with the right job

Staying in the wrong job can be bad for the health of older people and push them into early retirement, research suggests.

The researchers found that when older workers’ reasoning abilities matched well with their job demands, they reported fewer chronic health problems than when they couldn’t keep up. And when workers couldn’t keep up with the reasoning demands of their jobs, the odds that they would stay at work instead of retiring decreased by nearly 34 percent.

Margaret Beier, a professor of psychological sciences at Rice University and the study’s lead author, says the study has important implications for designing work that keeps people engaged past typical retirement age.

“This is particularly important given that the average age of workers in the US is increasing,” she says.

Cognitive demands

Beier and fellow study authors Wendy Jackeline Torres, a graduate student in psychology at Rice, and Gwenith Fisher and Lauren Wallace, industrial/organizational psychologists at Colorado State University, studied 383 workers over the age of 51 as well as retirees who participated in the Study of Cognition and Aging in the USA conducted between 2007 and 2014.

The researchers analyzed a series of surveys evaluating cognitive abilities and job demands. Participants reported their retirement status and the prevalence of nine chronic health conditions: high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, lung disease, arthritis, emotional or psychiatric problems, and memory-related diseases.

The study included people from a variety of professions including business, finance, architecture, engineering, education, arts and entertainment, sports, media, construction, and transportation. Abilities required for the specific jobs ranged from mathematical reasoning (which is the ability to choose correct mathematical methods or formulas for problem-solving) to fluency of ideas (the ability to generate ideas on a specific topic).

Older workers as mentors

Beier says the study is an important step toward understanding how to extend the careers of older workers.

“Mature workers are a great benefit to the workforce by sharing their knowledge and mentoring younger workers,” she says. “In fact, they may be suited for mentoring roles and emotionally challenging situations in a way that younger workers simply aren’t.”

Beier plans to use the study’s results to support future work on understanding how to design better jobs and training for older workers.

The paper appears in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology.

Funding came from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging and the Centers for Disease Control’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

Las Vegas stages spotlight world premieres

Actor David Shaughnessy, co-writer and director Byron Tidwell collaborate on the world premiere of "Ronnie Brixton: The Best of British Boxing," now at The Space.

Las Vegas may be renowned as “the entertainment capital of the world,” but the entertainment capital’s creativity isn’t confined to the Strip.

Nevada Ballet Theatre’s season finale this weekend at The Smith Center, for example, includes the world premiere of choreographer Matthew Neenan’s “Until December” — set to Las Vegas-based composer Michael Torke’s music.

Las Vegas Little Theatre’s 10th annual New Works competition winner, “/se-krits/,” continues at LVLT’s Black Box Theatre through May 13. (Author Robb Willoughby joins the cast for a talk-back after the 2 p.m. Sunday matinee.)

Majestic Repertory Theatre’s Main Street playhouse welcomes “Places, Please!” Written by Las Vegas Academy senior Julia Dreitzer, it’s part of the company’s Youth Ensemble initiative — and the fourth new play on Majestic’s schedule this season, following the sci-fi drama “Sentience” and preceding the musical “Bigfoot” and the holiday horror tale “Krampus.”

And when those behind “Ronnie Brixton: The Best of British Boxing” needed a theater to stage the solo drama about a celebrated BBC boxing commentator — and couldn’t find one in Seattle — they opted to premiere the play at The Space’s Back Space. It continues there through May 13 before moving to California’s Hollywood Fringe Festival next month — and to off-Broadway after that.

There’s more, from the Las Vegas Philharmonic’s November premiere of a Philip Glass piano concerto during its upcoming 20th season to the Rainbow Company Youth Theatre’s annual “Stories of the Silver State” history plays and Cockroach Theatre’s upcoming “Still Dance the Stars,” part of a “national rolling premiere” for the new play by UNLV master’s alumnus Jayme McGhan.

At Majestic, doing new plays is a priority, according to artistic director Troy Heard — and not only because “there is some cachet in developing something new.” Although a troupe could “subsist on” producing classics such as Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” (which Majestic did earlier this season), “you want to grow as well and develop new voices — who’s going to be the next canonical author?”

LVLT launched its New Works competition a decade ago “to foster new works when we were first putting together our Black Box,” geared toward edgier fare than the “tried-and-true standards” on the group’s main stage, LVLT president Walter Niejadlik says. “It hopefully makes us more well-rounded as a theater, not just catering to actors and directors but writers.”

As for this weekend’s NBT premiere, “being involved in the creative process of a new ballet is most important as we look to develop this company,” artistic director Roy Kaiser says.

And the chance to create reverberates for all involved, says Torke, who describes his visit to an “Until December” rehearsal as “one of the most exciting days in the studio — ever. And here we are in Las Vegas.”
