Shout out to all the TMNT fans still rambling on and on about those turtles, some shows may have ended like almost 30yrs ago while others 4 or so, some pieces of media may only be one movie long while others an entire comic series, but you still keep going.

“Brand safety” killed Jezebel

I'll be at the Studio City branch of the LA Public Library this Monday, November 13 at 1830hPT to launch my new novel, The Lost Cause. There'll be a reading, a talk, a surprise guest (!!) and a signing, with books on sale. Tell your friends! Come on down!

Progressives: if you want to lose to conservatives, all you need to do is reflexively praise and support everything conservatives turn into a culture-war issue, without considering whether they might be right. Because sometimes…they're right.

Remember early in the Trump presidency, when conservatives all woke up and discovered that America's spy agencies – excuse me, "the intelligence community" – were dirty-tricking psychos who run amok, lawlessly sabotaging democracy? Progressives have been shouting this ever since Hoover's FBI tried to blackmail MLK into killing himself:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93King_suicide_letter

But millions of progressives forgot about COINTELPRO, CIA dirty tricks and CIA mass spying when this "intelligence community" temporarily set out to wrong-foot Trump. Remember James Comey votive candles?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/08/30/james-comey-fbi-memo-leaks-trump-inspector-general-report-column/2157705001/

Anthropologists have a name for this phenomenon, in which one side reverses its positions because their sworn enemies have done so. It's called schizmogenesis, and it goes like this: "If they hate it, we love it":

https://pluralistic.net/2021/12/18/schizmogenesis/

Schizmogenesis is an equal-opportunity delusion. Within living memory, white evangelicals supported abortion, because their sworn enemies – Catholics – opposed it. Some of those white Boomer women who voted Trump because abortion was literally the only issue they cared about held the opposite position on abortion not so long ago – and completely forgot about it:

https://text.npr.org/734303135

The main purpose of the culture war isn't immiserating marginalized people – that's its effect, but its purpose is to distract low-information turkeys (working people) so they'll vote for Christmas (the ongoing seizure of power by American oligarchs). For the funders of conservative movement politics, the cruelty isn't the point, it's merely the tactic. The point is power:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/03/09/turkeys-voting-for-christmas/#culture-wars

Which brings me to "woke capitalism." Conservative string-pullers have whipped up their base about the threat of companies embracing social causes. They (erroneously) claim that corporations have progressive values, and that big business is thumbing the scales for causes they despise. The purpose here isn't to sow distrust of capitalism per se. Rather, it's to stampede talk-radio-addled supporters into backing the oligarchy's agenda. Remember when culture war leaders told their base to support being gouged on credit-card junk fees "to own the libs?"

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/04/owning-the-libs/#swiper-no-swiping

That's schizmogenesis working against the conservative rank-and-file, tricking them into taking the side of a cartel of wildly profitable payment processors who are making billions by picking their pockets (credit card fees are up 40% since the covid lockdowns), because (checks notes), Target pays these profiteers a lot to process its payments, and Target sells Pride merch (no, really):

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/04/owning-the-libs/#swiper-no-swiping

It's easy to point and laugh at conservative dopes when they're tricked into shooting themselves in the balls to own the libs. This is not a hypothetical example:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/05/28/holographic-nano-layer-catalyser/#musketfuckers

But progressives do it, too, particularly when they embrace monopolies as a force for positive social change. Remember 2019, when people got excited about playing loud pop music at Nazi rallies in the hopes that the monopoly video platforms' copyright filters would make any video from that rally impossible to post?

https://memex.craphound.com/2019/07/23/clever-hack-that-will-end-badly-playing-copyrighted-music-during-nazis-rallies-so-they-cant-be-posted-to-youtube/

I warned then that if this tactic worked, it would be used by cops to prevent you from recording them when they're macing you or splitting your skull with a billyclub, and yup, within a couple years, cops were blaring Taylor Swift music in hopes of preventing the public from posting videos of their illegal conduct:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/07/moral-hazard-of-filternets/#dmas

Conservatives are (partially) right about woke capitalism. It is a threat to democracy. Concentrating the power to decide who gets to speak and what they get to say into the hands of five or six corporations, mostly run by mediocre billionaires, is bad for society. The moderation decisions of giant platforms are a form of (commercial) censorship, even these don't violate the First Amendment:

https://locusmag.com/2020/01/cory-doctorow-inaction-is-a-form-of-action/

(The progressive delusion that censorship only occurs when the First Amendment is violated is a wild own-goal, one that excuses, for example, the decision by school book-fair monopolist Scholastic to remove books about queers and Black and brown people from its offerings as a purely private matter without consequences for free speech):

https://www.themarysue.com/scholastic-response-to-authors-and-illustrators-on-diverse-books/

Conservatives are only partially right about woke capitalism, though. Here's what they're wrong about: corporations don't have values. Target isn't selling Pride tees because they support progressive causes, they're selling them because it seems like a good way to increase returns to their shareholders. Individuals – even top executives – at Target might endorse the cause, but the company will only durably support the cause if that endorsement is profitable, which means that when it stops being profitable, the company will stop supporting the cause:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/23/business/target-lgbtq-merchandise/index.html

The idea that corporations have values isn't merely stupid, it's very dangerous. The Hobby Lobby decision – which allows corporations to deny basic health-care expenses for women on the basis that a Bronze Age mystic wouldn't approve of an IUD – rests on the ideological foundation that corporate personhood includes corporate values:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burwell_v._Hobby_Lobby_Stores,_Inc.

Citizens United – the idea that corporations should be allowed to funnel unlimited funds to politicians who'll sell out the public good in favor of investor profits – also depends on a form of corporate personhood that includes values:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

There are undeniably instances in which corporate monopoly power benefits progressive causes, but these are side-effects of corporate power's main purpose, namely: taking money and power away from working people and giving it to rich people. That is what monopoly power is for.

Which brings me to ad-tech, "brand safety," and the demise of Jezebel, the 16 year old feminist website whose shuttering was just announced by its latest owner, G/O Media:

https://www.metafilter.com/201349/This-is-the-end-of-Jezebel-and-that-feels-really-really-bad

Jezebel's demise is the direct result of monopoly power. Jezebel writes about current affairs – sex, politics, abortion, and other important issues of great moment and significance. When we talk about journalism as a public good, necessary for a healthy civic life, this is what we mean. But unfortunately for Jezebel – and any other news outlet covering current events – there are vast, invisible forces that exist solely to starve this kind of coverage of advertising revenue.

Writing for the independent news site 404 Media, reporter Emanuel Maiberg and former Motherboard editor-in-chief Jason Koebler go deep on the "brand safety" industry, whose mission is to assist corporations in blocking their ads from showing up alongside real news:

https://www.404media.co/advertisers-dont-want-sites-like-jezebel-to-exist/

Maiberg and Koebler explain how industry associations like the World Federation of Marketers' Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) promulgate "frameworks" to help advertisers automatically detect and exclude real news from consideration when their ads are placed:

https://www.peer39.com/blog/garm-standards

This boycott makes use of scammy "AI" technology like "sentiment and emotional analysis" to determine whether an article is suitable for monetization. These parameters are then fed to the ad-tech duopoly's ad auction system, so Google and Meta (who control the vast majority of online advertising) can ensure that real news is starved of cash.

But reality is not brand-safe, and high quality, reputable journalistic outlets are concerned with reality, which means that the "brand safe" outlets that attract the most revenue are garbage websites that haven't yet been blacklisted by the ad-safety cartel, leading to major brands' ads showing up alongside notorious internet gross-out images like "goatse":

https://www.404media.co/sqword-game-dev-sneaks-goatse-onto-a-dozen-sites-that-stole-his-game/

More than a fifth of "brand safe" ad placements end up on "made for advertising" sites, which 404 Media describe as "trash websites that plagiarize content, are literally spam, pay for fake traffic, or are autogenerated websites that serve no other purpose than capturing ad dollars":

https://www.ana.net/miccontent/show/id/rr-2023-06-ana-programmatic-transparency-first-look

Despite all this, many progressives have become cheerleaders for "brand safety," as a countervailing force to the drawdown of trust and safety at online platforms, which led to the re-platforming of Nazis, QAnon conspiratorialists, TERFs, and other overt elements of the reactionary movement's vanguard on Twitter and Facebook. Articles about ads for major brands showing up alongside Nazi content on Twitter are now a staple of progressive reporting, presented as evidence of Elon Musk's lack of business acumen. The message of these stories is "Musk is bad at business because he's allowing Nazis on his platform, which will send advertisers bolting for the exits to avoid brand-safety crises."

This isn't wrong. Musk is a bad businessman (he's a good scam artist, though). Twitter is hemorrhaging advertisers, notwithstanding the desperate (and easily debunked) stats-juking its "CEO," Linda Yaccarino, floats onstage at tech conferences:

https://www.techdirt.com/2023/10/11/math-problem-for-linda-yaccarino-if-90-of-the-top-advertisers-have-come-back-but-are-only-spending-10-of-what-they-used-to-how-screwed-are-you/

But progressives are out of their minds if they think the primary effect of the brand safety industry is punishing Elon Musk for secretly loving Nazis. The primary effect of brand safety is killing reality-based coverage of the news of the day, and since reality has a well-known anti-conservative bias, anything that works against the reality-based community is ultimately good for oligarchy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community

We can't afford to let schizmogenesis stampede us into loving things just because conservative culture warriors have been momentarily tricked into hating them as part of oligarchs' turkeys-voting-for-Christmas project. "Swivel-eyed loons hate it, so it must be good," is a worse-than-useless heuristic for navigating complex issues:

https://locusmag.com/2023/05/commentary-cory-doctorow-the-swivel-eyed-loons-have-a-point/

A much better rule of thumb is "If oligarchs love something, it's probably bad." Almost without exception, things that are good for oligarchs are bad for the rest of us. I mean, this whole shuttering of Jezebel starts with an oligarch imposing his will on millions of other people. Jezebel began life as a Gawker Media site, beloved of millions of readers, destroyed when FBI informant Peter Thiel secretly funded Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against the publisher in a successful bid to put them out of business to retaliate for their unfavorable coverage of Thiel:

https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2018/02/hogan-thiel-gawker-trial/554132/

This, in turn, put Jezebel under the ownership of G/O Media, who are unwilling to pay for a human salesforce that would – for example – sell advertising space on Jezebel to sex-toy companies or pro-abortion groups. G/O has been on a killing spree, shuttering beloved news outlets like Deadspin:

https://deadspin.com/this-is-how-things-work-now-at-g-o-media-1836908201

G/O's top exec, an oligarch named Jim Spanfeller who answers to the private equity looters at Great Hill Partners, is bent on ending reality-based coverage in favor of "letting robots shit out brand safe AI-assisted articles about generic topics":

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/ai-articles-disinformation-future-g-o-media-rcna95944

Three quarters of a century ago, Orwell coined a term to describe this kind of news: duckspeak,

It was not the man’s brain that was speaking it was his larynx. The stuff that was coming out of him consisted of words but it was not speech in true sense: it was a noise uttered in unconsciousness like the quacking of a duck.

When investors and analysts speak of "content" (rather than, say, "journalism"), this is what they mean – a warm slurry of platitudes, purged of any jagged-edged fragments to render it a perfectly suitable carrier for commercial messages targeted based on surveillance data about the "consumer" whose eyeballs are upon it.

This aversion to reality has been present among corporate decisionmakers since the earliest days, but the consolidation of power among large firms – ad-tech firms, online platforms, and "brands" themselves – makes corporate realityphobia much easier to turn into, well, reality, giving advertisers the fine-grained power to put Jezebel and every site like it out of business.

As Koebler and Maiberg's headliine so aptly puts it, "Advertisers Don’t Want Sites Like Jezebel to Exist."

The reason to deplore Nazis on Twitter is because they are Nazis, not because their content isn't brand-safe. The short-term wins progressives gain by legitimizing a corporate veto over what we see online are vastly overshadowed by the most important consequence of brand safety: the mass extinction of reality-based reporting. Reality isn't brand safe. If you're in the reality based community, brand safety should be your sworn enemy, even if they help you temporarily get a couple of Nazis kicked off Twitter.

Just you and me

Max Verstappen x driver!reader

*Part of a thousand day of summer with you , what if our female driver didn't join Mercedes back in 2019, what if Red Bull gave her a new offer compensating for the past and offering her a long time seat alongside Max which proves to be the best decision they made to day , with six WDC between them and more to come , a little surprise made it's way to them , more specifically to Max which halted any chance of bringing their buried feelings to light . Or in other words : Red Bull!female!driver X single dad!Max feat the cutest bundle of sunshine called Poe .

Frantic Knocks paired with the bell ringing on repeat scared her out of her sleep , she hastily jumped out of bed with her feet tangled up in the sheets making her stumble a bit but she got out and made her way to the front door, glancing at the clock on her way she cursed at the time , 03:18 glared back at her and she prepared herself to give whoever dared to wake her in this damned time a piece of her mind .

she threw the door open, face contoured into a scowl , ready to curse at who stood on the other side but halted as she came face to face with her teammate Max.

A very tired and on the verge of crying Max, his hair messed and his eyes half closed and from where she stood she could see how red they are , but that's not the only thing that got her to halt , it's also the fuzzing bundle in his arms, letting out whines that soon turned into loud cries making Max clench his eyes as if in pain before turning to address her in a hoarse voice " I don't know what to do, I fed him , and I changed him twice , and tried everything but he won't stop crying, and I don't know what else to do " she closed her gaping mouth quickly letting him in and shut the door behind them .

She led him to the living room where she turned the lights on and took the baby bag from him arm , putting it aside before taking the squirming baby out of his hands , cooing gently at the boy as she held him to her chest " oh , baby , why the sad face , look at how tired your papa is , you're giving him a hard time now ? " The boy cooed in content, his cries are long gone once he settled in her arms, slowly falling asleep listening to her gentle words as she hummed to him mixed with her heart beat , he was more than willing to rest after a long wailing session that chased the wits out of his father's mind .

Speaking of his father, she turned to check on him only to find him passed out on the couch, he operated on autopilot the whole way up to her house and the moment he passed his son to her and his cries ceased he was left in awe at how quick he settled the moment her voice reached his ears, both him and his son honestly, and he didn't waste a moment to fall back and drift the moment his head hit the cushions .

She looked at the sleeping man on her couch before looking back down at the bundle in her arms, she whispered to him gently " look poe , your papa is out as a light , what do you think? Should we let him get some rest ? " He cooed at her making her humm , adjusting him into one arm while she took a blanket from the side draping it over the sleeping Max, turning off the lights after making sure he's comfortable in his position before heading to her room taking the bag with her , she settled the now sleeping baby on the bed , setting the pillows as a makeshift barriers for the night, then she settled herself after she made sure nothing would disturb his sleep for the time being, knowing her day would be busy to say the least .

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

The first thing that max was aware of when he woke up the next morning was the soft blanket covering him , then he smiled at the strong smell of freshly made coffee, for the first time in months he enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, the peaceful haze of morning, it's quiet, too quiet for his usual routine of his son waking him up in ungodly hours wailing himself to no end , then he sprung up , searching frantically for his missing son , his mind a scrambled mess as he looked around in confusion his brain is yet to fully catch up with his now growing panic , and just when he was about to get to his feet she came in , with his boy now changed and dressed in one of his adorable themed onesie with his racing number on the back and a trophy on the front paired with a small blue beanie over his head , he relaxed and laid back down watching curiously .

She was talking to little poe quietly as she made her way to the rocking chair by the balcony sliding doors seemingly unaware of him being awake " okay popo , how about we get you fed , then we could do our chores for the day while your papa get some sleep , what do you think ? " The boy let out a small squeak while his gaze was fixed on her as she caressed his cheeks softly before adjusting him up properly to feed him , his small hands grasping hers as she held the bottle , same as his dad's who she didn't notice yet , silently basking in the sight of before him , at how she easily she handled his distressed son in a matter of seconds , his mind drifting to what his life would've been, if he didn't hesitate when he had his chance to confess , if he didn't let his anger cloud his judgement back in Silverstone ? , if he didn't let that deadbeat woman who's now the mother of his son weasel her way into his bed ? , what if ? , and as his teammate always said is the best way to let your thoughts eat you alive, and get your mind to mourns the possibility of things that might've not even happen the way you think they would've.

Her voice snapped him back as she whispered to his boy " you know poe , your papa is doing his best, he's new to this kind of life but , he's learning along the way and he's doing a great job , so how about we make a promise, just you and me , to help him the best as we could, cause he needs to know that he don't have to do everything on his own, specially not this , okay ? " She reached out her pinky, and the boy didn't hesitate to grasp it with his fist closing around it tightly, making her nod in agreement as she shook his hand " okay " then planted a delicate kiss on the back of it before humming as she stood up , patting his back lightly to purp him and when it didn't work she went to the couch laying him on his back before taking his feet gently and started to do cycling motions, making sure to be gentle, then switched to support his knees up while doing circular moves then let him rest before asking " ready to let the bad air out ? " He grunts at her , making her chuckle as she proceeded with the exercises turning halfway to look at the other side of the couch where Max laid, smiling widely when her eyes lock with his now wide awake blues, greeting him softly " morning sleepy head " , he groaned and turned into his side , facing them fully and greeted back with a slight pout and voice still heavy with sleep " morning" watching as she carried on with her work but she nods her head at the kitchen " I made you a fresh pot of coffee , and your favourite too , but first come on up , we have to finish our exercise isn't that right pow pow? " the said boy grinned at her attention his arms waving as his father dragged himself to move to their side curiously watching as she instructed " sometimes burping alone won't get all the air out so we have to do some exercises to gently stimulate his bowel movement , that'll get the gas out the other way , now let's see how much air we could get out " she proceeded to make a full circular moves pressing gently against his belly making him grunt as he break winds , his eyes widened along with Max's as another loud string of sounds came out making her hold her giggle at their startled faces , and when it came to an end little poe let out a loud huff in content, finally at ease and kicked his feet in delight, she tickled his side as she cooed " that what made you so cranky the whole time?! Now we're all good , right ? " Earning loud giggles in return , she turned to the still stunned Max who now wears a frown his mind racing at how helpless he is when it comes to taking care of his own baby , every time he thinks he got it figured out he came face with the reality of barley managing through the day , his helplessness amplifies when he see how easily and gracefully his best friend seems to manage his distressed boy , finding no trouble when it comes to this, meanwhile he's barely few months in and he's already doubting his capability as a father.

She could see the tournament going in his mind , how he's doubting himself again , having witnessed firsthand his breakdown when his now ex fiance walked out on them , leaving behind a shell shocked Max and a wailing Poe for her to walk in to when she made a visit few weeks ago , and to say she do understand his doubts wouldn't be a lie , so she nudged his shoulder with hers , giving him a soft comforting smile as she let him lean his head on her shoulder, both gazing down at the sleepy boy who was drifting away with his small hand gripping her fingers tightly , he caressed Poe cheek gently as he whispered " every time I think I got it handled I'm proven wrong, I honestly don't know what I'm going to do " she used her free hand to pat his cheek " Don't beat yourself over this , no one is expecting you to know everything right away , no one does , everyone learn as they went on day by day , just like driving, you start with the basics and the more you learn the easier it gets " he argued back " but you seem to do " she chuckled quietly " I had been there to witness my dad lose his shit over taking care of Eddie , me and a months old Tommy , that wasn't easy and neither is this , then came my twin cousins Mathew and lily both gave everyone a run for their money but we managed, then there's Marc who is a God sent who was quiet and never really cried a lot , it was easier to venture through that but when Gigi came it was like she took it upon herself to double the work for everyone , and all I'm trying to say is you don't have to do everything on your own, that's the best way to drive yourself insane, instead you have everyone ready to help , you have Poe and you have me " she leaned her head over his after planting a kiss on his forehead , his eyes closed for a moment before voicing his source of doubt " but everyone have their lives to worry about" she flicked his forehead with her free hand as she scolded " our lives won't stop us from being there for you two , don't make me beat that fact into your stubborn head " he whined quietly before pinching her side as a payback " alright, I get it " . she nods after she swatted his hand away " good , now go ahead and take a shower cause you stink , I'll put Poe in my room then I'll reheat everything for breakfast " he frowned at her " you didn't have anything yet !? , it's almost......." She cuts him with a smack on his shoulder " you'll wake him up ! And no I didn't, I was waiting for you , I didn't want to eat alone " he was about to scold her but held back , knowing that ' she didn't want him to eat alone ' not the opposite, so he sighed in defeat and leaned over to leave a kiss on her temple , leaving another one on the sleeping boy's forehead before heading to her room , where he picked one of his many stolen hoodies and a sweatpants from his shelve in her closet and made his way to take a much needed shower.

Roddacember 2023!!

Roddacember runs during December to celebrate all of Emily Rodda’s books. With a new prompt every day, make a piece of fan content of your choice. You can draw some art, write fic, make a playlist, rant about something, or whatever you vibe with! Remember to tag it #Roddacember 2023 so we can check it out <3 I’ve also created an AO3 collection for those who would like to write fics!

Update

This is my attempt at taking the best of the past years and bringing something for everyone. What I've come up with are three levels of abstraction that (hopefully) serve as different levels of difficulty. The first week-ish draws more from 2019's style, and the last couple weeks are the more recent style, with the middle being a segue between them. (i kinda struggled to make questions, but you're welcome to use the prompts as keywords for your own!)

Notes

A reminder that you don’t have to commit to every day. Take care of yourself. You can make it more manageable by skipping days. It’s also okay to alter the prompt slightly for grammatical purposes, if you so wish (e.g. growth –> growing) or to cut out irrelevant words (e.g. animal or monster -> animal). Feel free to interpret the prompts as metaphorically or as literally as you want! If there’s anything you are confused about, feel free to ask me in the notes or DMs or whatever. You can also check out what the fandom did previously at #Roddacember 2022, #Roddacember 2021, #Roddacember 2020 and #Roddacember 2019.

Prompts in text below:

Your Favourite
