I still remember the first time a man interrupted/talked over me in a work meeting. Had not really happened living as a guy. Gender-affirming misogyny is real

sometimes my boss will over-explain things to me that i already know, and i can't tell if he just has a tendency for that or if i'm experiencing a misogyny moment. the "would i have experienced this pre-transition?" question is seemingly eternal

new @relentlesspicnic.com available now, for free.
this episode is about music — how we mishear it, how we can be sure we hear it at all, how a demon can take hold of you and use you to produce it, and how sometimes instead of music there's the mass-market autobiography of a beloved '90s actor.

time doesn't function in any sort of linear way in this universe. it's not the vision of a futurist - but of a lost idealist, holding out hope that dream could some day be revived. that's why i feel like even stuff like this video are appropriate uses of BoC music www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ik1...

often think about why Boards of Canada are so important and inspiring to me, and i think it's: their music always sounds both like some idea of the "the future" and "the past", where both are constantly intermingling and little to no differentiation. this is the way i approach technology in general

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

screenshot of text from Adam Serwer in The Atlantic: "The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive - because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Stuart Hall et al on primary and secondary definers, from Policing the Crisis, 1978.

"Arguments against a primary interpretation are forced to insert themselves into its definition of ‘what is at issue’ - they must begin from this framework of interpretation as their starting-point."
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DEFINERS In this section we want to begin to account for the ‘fit9between dominant ideas and professional media ideologies and practices. This cannot be simply at­ tributed —as it sometimes is in simple conspiracy theories - to the fact that the media are in large part capitalist-owned (though that structure of ownership is widespread), since this would be to ignore the day-to-day ‘relative autonomy9 of the journalist and news producers from direct economic control. Instead we want to draw attention to the more routine structures of news production to see how the media come in fact, in the ‘last instance9, to reproduce the definitions <fthe powerful,, without being, in a simple sense, in their pay. Here we must in­ sist on a crucial distinction between primary and secondary definers of social events. The media do not themselves autonomously create news items; rather they are ‘cued in9to specific new topics by regular and reliable institutional sources. As Paul Rock notes: In the main journalists position themselves so that they have access to in­ stitutions which generate a useful volume of reportable activity at regular in­ tervals. Some of these institutions do, of course, make themselves visible by means of dramatization, or through press releases and press agents. Others are known to regularly produce consequential events. The courts, sports grounds and parliament mechanically manufacture news which is . . . assimilated by the press.9 One reason for this has to do with the internal pressures of news production — as Murdock notes: The incessant pressures of time and the consequent problems of resource allocation and work scheduling in news organisations can be reduced or alleviated by covering ‘pre-scheduled events9; that is, events that have been announced in adva journalism." One product of these rules is the carefully structured distinction between Tact’ and ‘opinion’, about which we have more to say in a later chap­ ter. For our present purposes, the important point is that these professional rules give rise to the practice of ensuring that media statements are, wherever possible, grounded in ‘objective’ and ‘authoritative’ statements from ‘ac­ credited’ sources. This means constantly turning to accredited representatives of major social institutions - M.P.s for political topics, employers and trade- union leaders for industrial matters, and so oa Such institutional represen­ tatives are ‘accredited’ because of their institutional power and position, but also because of their ‘representative’ status: either they represent ‘the people’ (M.P.s, Ministers, etc.) or organised interest groups (which is how the T.U.C. and the C.B.I. are now regarded). One final ‘accredited source’ is ‘the expert’: his calling - the ‘disinterested’ pursuit of knowledge - not his position or his representativeness, confers on his statements ‘objectivity’ and ‘authority’. Ironically, the very rules which aim to preserve the impartiality of the media, and which grew out of desires for greater professional neutrality, also serve powerfully to orientate the media in the ‘definitions of social reality’ which their ‘accredited sources’ —the institutional spokesmen —provide. These two aspects of news production—the practical pressures of constantly working against the clock and the professional demands of impartiality and ob­ jectivity - combine to produce a systematically structured over-accessing to the media of those in powerful and privileged institutional positions. The media thus tend, faithfully and impartially, to reproduce symbolically the existing structure of power in society’s institutional order. This is what Becker has called the ‘hierarchy of credibility’ —the likelihood that th tablished For example, once race relations in Britain have been defined as a ‘problem of numbers’ (i.e. how many blacks there are in the country), then even liberal spokesmen, in proving that the figures for black immigrants have been exaggerated, are nevertheless obliged to subscribe, implicitly, to the view that the debate is ‘essentially’ about numbers. Similarly, Halloran and his co- workers have clearly demonstrated how the ‘inferential structure’ of violence - once it became established in the lead-up period - dominated the coverage of the second Anti-Vietnam Rally and the events of Grosvenor Square, despite all the first-hand evidence directly contradicting this interpretation.14Effectively, then, the primary definition sets the limit for all subsequent discussion by framing what the problem is. This initial framework then provides the criteria by which all subsequent contributions are labelled as ‘relevant’ to the debate, or ‘irrelevant’ - beside the point Contributions which stray from this framework are exposed to the charge that they are ‘not addressing the problem’. 15 The media, then, do not simply ‘create’ the news; nor do they simply transmit the ideology of the ‘ruling class’ in a conspiratorial fashion. Indeed, we have suggested that, in a critical sense, the media are frequently not the ‘primary definers’ of news events at all; but their structured relationship to power has the effect of making them play a crucial but secondary role in reproducing the definitions of those who have privileged access, as of right, to the media as ‘accredited sources’. From this point of view, in the moment of news production, the media stand in a position of structured subordination to the primary definers.
