Sasha Grey and Isabella Lovestory join Document Journal to discuss making music, the OnlyFans economy, and the future of post-digital desire. The officials from the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - known as the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network - made the comments following meetings with private companies in the U.
We are commanded to give our most earnest and careful attention to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Social media and gaming and Netflix binging — the whole spectacle age is all built on one lie: If you give more of your life to your screens, you will become more satisfied. The battle is not merely over the sinfulness of the world’s spectacle industry; it’s a battle over media saturation — even with otherwise wholesome and good media.We want to be excellent in what we do (yes, absolutely) and we want to be creative too (certainly) all while being careful not to leave the impression that we’re simply trying to impress eyes.
And so, from each of them comes a vast array of eye-grabbing spectacles, each demanding something from us. I have a few takeaways and thoughts on what this means for our own lives and for how we lead Sunday gatherings. Like Grey, Lovestory understands the modality of desire—the many different shapes it takes, how gritty and dark it can get, and how funny it can all seem after the moment’s passed.It’s even taken over the fashion industry; it’s taken over every aesthetic aspect of how people are presenting themselves. Listening here means a lot more than casually tuning in for a moment or two before we switch off again. Affectional drift — heart drift — away from Christ happens through attentional negligence, when we no longer focus on Christ. But I think we also see less resistance to the entertainment industry today because entertainment is no longer a secluded industry tethered to one particular location. While women like that will always hold their rightful place in the libidinal imagination at-large, Grey immediately distinguished herself through her extreme performances and unique aesthetic sensibility akin to a sharp-eyed, goth Anna Karina (which was almost her stage name, in homage to Godard).
A journalist, and it was a fucking woman, wrote, ‘The album is too misogynistic for me, and I’m not really interested in covering material like this. Well, it would be very easy at this point to retreat to a position that’s simply anti-spectacle: Trash the TV.
These practices are how we say to the world, “The endless cascade of digital spectacles on my phone is not my god. Biz: You’re saying you need that perspective to be able to be like, ‘Oh, I’m wearing this BDSM choker and I’m not into BDSM, but I’m not going to get fucked up if someone asks me about BDSM. It’s going to take baby steps, but I think [the first step is] focusing on your immediate community, if you have one, to try and create change there first and then on a broader scale, create longer-lasting, impactful change around the world.
Data privacy concerns are caught in the interplay of strong capitalist forces, human desire and the ever-evolving predatory technologies. Bishakha Dutta, executive director of Point of View, pointed to the information asymmetry regarding personal data between users and social media companies. I think it’s all about [finding] ways of making things tangible and easier to absorb because now everything’s so fast. It tells us the importance of holding a ship’s course toward a fixed point, to avoid being pulled off course and drifting away. I wasn’t even a superfan of hers—I was just a teenage girl in a hurry to understand sex, power, and femininity.When they decide to focus on [sex], it’s either done in the same way that it’s always been done, in a negative light, or it’s done as a marketing tool to say, ‘Yeah, we support queer people. Rafiul Alom Rahman, founder of the Queer Muslim Project (QMP), which creates visibility and awareness of Muslim issues in South Asia, spoke next. Stanford University's AI Index Report for 2023 has found that India leads the world in terms of AI skill penetration. He also emphasised the need to create new deals in data, which offered "data ownership in favour of users". How do Christ-centered sermons and songs land on me, and what does this say about the affectional health I bring with me on Sunday?
