Are there any examples of Franco Moretti’s Network Theory/plot analysis (litlab.stanford.edu/Literary…) being applied to journalism? Feels like a possibly fruitful research area

In Preston, Labour’s left-wing council has retained all of its seats. Their plans for the next twelve months include a worker co-op for taxis, a publicly-owned cinema and a council-run bank. There is an alternative to defeat and desperation – it’s called socialism.

“We’re all in this together” Lol. Like fuck we are. While some of us are isolated on our boats in the sun others, like the homeless in Nevada, get painted boxes on the tarmac. Don’t get fooled again

People in California or the EU can find out what Clearview (the creepy facial recognition company that sells data to a bunch of evil people) hold on them, get them to delete it and opt-out of future collection by using clearview.ai/privacy/request…

This is how capitalism works. Exploitation at scale and on all levels. Don’t get fooled again.

All the major cruise lines are asking for bailouts from the U.S. Government. Yet, Disney Cruises sails under the Bahamian flag ... Celebrity Cruises under Liberian/Maltese flags & Carnival Cruises under the Panamanian flag - all to avoid U.S. taxes & employment law Just sayin'

As a former secretary of labor, I can tell you that the airlines don't deserve a $50 billion bailout.
 In the last 10 years, they spent 96% of their cash flow to buy back shares of their own stock in order to boost executive bonuses. They shouldn't see a dime of taxpayer money.

This matters. And we will see similar pushes globally. Be vigilant.

I've been maintaining a COVID list of 400 epidemiologists, researchers, doctors, NGO folk, and journalists. I've found it invaluable to go to the sources. Here's the list: xitter.cf/i/lists/12378341516943… Please tell me if there's anyone I should add.

In this crisis we hear “we’re all in this together”. Especially from big business looking for a bailout. Suddenly socialism is the solution not the problem. Which of course it always has been. We have been through this before. Don’t get fooled again. Join a union(& wash ur hands)

Folkhälsomyndigheten rekommenderar alla med symtom på luftvägsinfektion, även lindriga, ”att avstå sociala kontakter som riskerar att sprida smitta.” Att vi då, som enda nordiska land, ska ha en karens (karensavdrag) i sjukförsäkringen är inte smart. Det borde slopas! @LOSverige
