On #InternationalWomensDay, a boost for Myrna Moretti's excellent and accessible 2023 paper "Keeping up with Atari: Neoliberal Expectations in Early Electronics Advertising".

Myrna analyses the famous Atari "Have You Played Atari Today?" US TV adverts of the 1970s and 1980s.

Abstract
During the early 1980s, ad campaigns framed purchasing and using emerging consumer electronics as tools for accessing, what Lauren Berlant called, ‘the good life.’ Computers, video games, VCRs, and cassette players might help consumers cultivate a neoliberal, upwardly mobile, and implicitly white, lifestyle. This paper explores early personal computer and home console video game advertisements as a cultural discourse that framed emerging technology through normative gendered, raced, and classed everyday lifestyles in an American context. The central case study is the early 1980s televisual ad campaign for the Atari 2600 system, featuring the “Have You Played Atari Today?” jingle. The campaign was widely viewed and is representative of contemporaneous marketing approaches. The ad’s allusion to time management both reinforced broader neoliberal paradigms and enacted a gendered slippage between labour and leisure. This paper draws from feminist critical theory approaches and uses textual analysis to understand the ways that electronic advertisements appealed to late capitalist social attitudes.

I am reminded by another post that Paleofuture is a fun element that Mastodon does not yet have in sufficient supply.

Looks like "himself," Matt Novak, chose not to be active in the fediverse?

Anyway here's the post I saw. More like this would always be welcome IMO:

I think Bluesky has bugs in Safari, so I'm including a screenshot as well as the direct link to a "share-worthy" post over there.

Tex of Aug. 6, 2023 Courtney Milan post on Bluesky: The old rule used to be "if you're not paying, you're the product" but I think at this point we should all just assume that we're always the product no matter what, and paying just demonstrates that we're products that will pay for things.

Hive mind: what would be a good server for an academic organization/entity focused on the intersection of technology and society? #academia #sts #techpolicy #academidon #techandsociety

Just realized that you can read *some* U.S. legislation re political messaging (e.g. requiring it to pass spam filtering) to the extent that if the GOP set up a Mastodon instance, U.S. Mastodon instances would *have* to federate with it?
