The sole source of her being "transgender" was she used a male alias once, and even that's to be expected being a modern woman looking to avoid harassment.

There's a solid chunk of progressives and inter-sectional feminists who of course rightly advocate for this, and have been for a while. Especially in the context in which a lot of anti-prostitution laws are like anti-weed laws, a means of providing authority/police a legal pretext to control the bodily autonomy of women.

New paper today on this topic Sexualized culture on livestreaming platforms: a content analysis of Twitch.tv Anciones-Anguita, K., Checa-Romero, M. Sexualized culture on livestreaming platforms: a content analysis of Twitch.tv. Humanit Soc Sci Commun 11, 257 (2024). https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-024-02724-z posted:The Twitch.tv livestreaming platform, with 3 million daily viewers internationally, has become a space for online digital culture and entertainment. Given the current concern regarding the exposure of sexualized content on social networks and its consequences for adolescence, the objective of this study is to analyze, from a gender perspective, whether women become more sexualized than men during their livestreams. Using a content-analysis design, an ad-hoc scale was developed to analyze the frequency and intensity of sexualization based on context variables and streamers’ behavior such as clothing, posture, or evocation of a sexual act, among others. After analysis of the livestreams (n = 1920), our scale made it possible to distinguish three levels of intensity: non-sexualized, sexualized, or hypersexualized. Statistically significant evidences was found in the level of sexualization between men and women in different categories of livestreaming. The results show that women are self-sexualized more and in greater intensity than men; there are also differences in the behavior and context of their livestreams. The sexualized representation of women in the media shapes gender attitudes, dehumanizes women, and legitimizes violence against them, and so it is essential to understand the role of media platforms in self-sexualization and the consequences to show women as sexual objects, principally for young people.

What you are talking about, as I understand it, are changes to the math curriculum to allow people to work out what the casino take on a craps table is. Having a relevant degree, and being an RPG player means I could pretty easily do this. But I found it easier to look up via google; it’s 11 to 13%. Which is way worse than the take on pre-math sports betting, as quoted by the economist above, and getting in for that of in-play bets. It’s also more than that of a roulette wheel (2.6 per zero). But the really relevant figure is than in Las Vegas, google tells me that there are 200 tables with three zeros, 100 with two, and 8 with one. And some of those 8 return half your bet on a zero, for a take of 1.3%. Very few people are not going to get that having more zeros on a roulette wheel is bad, especially with the few companies that have 1 advertising it as their key selling point. But still, most tables have 3. So teaching basic dice math is very useful for future game designers, and may be a perfectly sensible idea. But there is no plausible mechanism by which it would have an effect on the topic; sports betting. Except perhaps to persuade them that it offers better odds than craps…

Daily Kos with an article whining about how the NYT is unfairly criticizing Biden for being too old and claiming "but his age" is the new "but her emails." https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/2/12/2222984/-The-New-York-Times-is-determined-to-make-but-his-age-the-new-but-her-emails I'm not going to defend the NYT's hilariously awful slate of opinion columnists but it's pretty delusional to complain about columnists and the voting public observing objective reality. quote:The New York Times, along with other media outlets, has created an opinion ouroboros. The publication provides stories that emphasize how Biden is old, slipping, and gaffe-prone. Then they circulate the news that people, shockingly, believe them. Then they use those poll results as an excuse to do it all again. "Created an opinion ouroboros" as if the public wouldn't know Biden is old, slipping, and gaffe-prone if NYT wasn't feeding that line in their editorials. And yes! Voters are not as concerned about Trump's age.

I think more of the frustration is that the media focus on Biden's age as equivalent to Trump's infinite list of disqualifying opinions, actions, and intentions. Like, Trump invited Russia to invade NATO over the weekend and it didn't get four loving columns in the NYT. https://twitter.com/DougJBalloon/status/1756453489163530335 https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1756326917970575576 That's the "her emails" connection. I mean, if you're saying that media coverage doesn't affect candidate perception among the public, I'd have to disagree. https://twitter.com/SER1897/status/1756441569190989897 zoux fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Feb 13, 2024 |

Right. Like John Stewart did a bit last night where he talked about Biden's memory failures then cut to clips of Trump forgetting all the same poo poo in depositions. It's an absurdly false equivalence that the NYT is hammering because, well, probably mostly because the NYT is owned by right wingers.

It doesn't really matter if it's a false equivalence and Trump isn't getting covered the same way. That doesn't address the root concern which is that Biden is feeble and is perceived as such. Deflecting the issue is not going to change any voters' minds. My point is, whining about coverage of Biden being old accomplishes nothing other than drawing more attention to Biden being old. If the Democrats want to change perceptions they need to do more than go "but what about when Trump forgets things??"

It's an absurdly false equivalence that the NYT is hammering because, well, probably mostly because the NYT is owned by right wingers. It's a confluence of things, imo. First, liberals panic-click on bad news like crazy and share those articles with their other panicky friends, so "Dems bad" articles get a lot of engagement. Second, the news industry is in dire straits and the Trump admin was a balm unto their balance sheets, so another Trump presidency would be good for business (provided he doesn't end the free press and put journalists in shackles, of course). Third, the media/news culture surrounding DC and the WH in particular is diseased and the reporters are bored https://twitter.com/scarylawyerguy/status/1756674613923254685 Senate Cum Dump posted:It doesn't really matter if it's a false equivalence and Trump isn't getting covered the same way.

In the continuing trend of "literally everything becoming partisan" news, views on specific states have dramatically shifted and sorted by partisanship. California has seen the sharpest division among partisanship. It was previously rated the most popular state for decades, but now 48% of the country says that California "isn't really part of America" and that it is on the decline. Even the weather and natural environment, two things that basically everyone loved in California, are now polarized with large segments of Republicans says that California has terrible weather and a "worse natural environment than other states." 40% of Republicans say that there is nowhere in California that is a good place to visit and they would stay away. Over 75% of Republicans now say they would be afraid for their personal safety if they ever went to California. Similar, but less extreme, patterns are emerging with Democrats and Florida. Florida used to be a widely popular state, but now only about 52% of Americans say that Florida feels like it matches their values. https://twitter.com/peterbakernyt/status/1757406392715972904 quote:WASHINGTON — California’s national reputation as a place of dreams and prosperity is in jeopardy, battered by Republicans who dislike almost all aspects of the state and many Democrats who see it as too costly and a poor place to raise a family.
