I fly a LOT and I am heartily sick of this “lease on life” song they play at the beginning of every flight. It sounds like a roomful of ad execs tried to write a Lumineers song (not that I particularly love the Lumineers) and they BLAST it out of tinny speakers.

The final theme, of course, is democracy. I love Kristen Eddy's work on how partisan actors use moral claims as both political communication and disinformation strategy. (also I am an ego monster and this reinforces my MMNH model)

and Bryan Truitt reject centering disinformation at all, arguing "the public sphere is always already marked by violence." Focusing on state violence instead centers oppression & harm of minoritized people, of which disinfo is only a part citap.pubpub.org/pub/nvbi1ohh/d

Other scholars provide new frames for disinfo studies. Shaden Shabayek suggests drawing from ignorance studies (agnotology) to understand disinfo uptake not as "a simple lack of knowledge" but "as the product of a social construction"

Similarly, et al draw on expert interviews in Mali, the Sahel, Nigeria, Senegal, and Ethiopia to understand disinfo in an African context of democratization, state control, & mobility.

Incredible thread below on the evils of Ticketmaster/Live Nation and how various musicians attempted/failed to thwart them- and how everything only got worse.

We get roughly one story like this per week now, a reported feature framed as an exploration of the "tricky debate" over trans rights while consisting almost entirely of far-right talking points. We're deep in moral panic territory and Times editors refuse to see it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for excellent ethnographies of media/fandom/internet use from the last few years? More about audiences than producers. (E.g, not Irani or Dunbar-Hester or Lindtner, as much as I love all their work). Bonus for non-US

How embarassing for @nypost to write an article where every fact given in the title is a lie. Tonje Gjevjon is not an actress, is not being investigated for saying men can’t be lesbians and is not facing up to 3 years in prison. This is fake news. An entirely fabricated story.
