"Oklahoma GOP votes to condemn Sen. Lankford for role in bipartisan border talks"

As the #GOP continues to devolve into a gang interested, not in governing or serving the nation, but in gaining sole power and serving #DonaldTrump.

"Your phone number might be the key to unlocking deodorant from store shelves”

Now if my phone could just open the friggin’ high-security battery sales case at Wally World, we'd be good.

Last time I checked I could still buy deodorant OTC and didn’t need a tech hack to get it. I guess there is always the Black Market or Deep Web if this ever changes?

#SocialMedia #ArabWorld #TrollFarms #Disinformation #DigitalLabor: "This article investigates the production culture and routines of “troll farms” in three Arab countries—Tunisia, Egypt, and Iraq—from a production studies approach. A production studies approach enables us to focus on the working conditions of paid trolls. We employed qualitative methods to look inside the “black box” of Arab troll farms. From February to April 2020, we conducted semi-structured interviews with eight disinformation workers at both managerial and staff levels. We propose to understand disinformation work as a specific type of digital labor, characterized by very intense shifts and emotionally burdensome daily tasks, absence of legal job contracts, and highly surveilled work environments. The article contributes to understand disinformation practices outside and beyond the West; it situates disinformation activities within the broader context of digital media industries; it provides a detailed analysis of the features that distinguish troll farms in the Arab world from those that emerged in other regions of the Global South; and it reconnects the research on disinformation to digital labor studies."

The phrase "you are allowed three unexcused absences" is such an odd statement when you think about it. You're "allowed" to be "unexcused"?

I used to go for late night walks a lot in my mid 20s. There's a certain stillness that comes with it that I find calming. The soft distant glow of the street lights acting as a brief islands within a sea of shadows.
