extremely dispiriting, especially in light of how much awful shit has come out recently, and Amazon’s creepy and bungled social media response. I honestly thought this would be a corner turned, but nope. And I’ve been mostly unplugged but has Amazon’s grossness been covered anywhere except Twitter/ Ken Klippenstein?

was disappointed in how Nomadland skated past the awfulness of Amazon's treatment of RV-dwelling seniors, but then again it wasn't really what the movie was about per se (the book definitely focuses on this more)

Yeah, I also sort of hoped this might be some sort of turning point, perhaps naively.
Has anyone gone back to replace all of the B'n'L logos in Wall-E with the Amazon logo yet?

not to dunk on Nomadland (film) but it does seem odd how two of the primary cUlTuRaL mArXiSt bogeyman of conservative fever dreams (Hollywood & “”the media””) have been suspiciously silent on class and labor issues in the last few decades. examples are out there obv, but they are very much the exception.

I suppose Hollywood doesn’t really have an obligation per se, but The Media has been exceedingly negligent

Would Amazon have let Zhao film in the fulfillment center if the script had made more of that? I'm assuming not.
I await what happens when Nomadland finishes its theatrical run and the awards season--will it ever stream on Amazon Prime? And just what does it mean for the film industry that Amazon is both a content provider AND a major outlet for its own and other producers' titles. The Paramount Decree has been overturned, but this looks to me like a remake of the vertical integration the original antitrust case wanted to abolish.

will it ever stream on Amazon Prime?
It's on Hulu. Once that window expires (if it ever does), they might pick it up as a paid rental, though.

jesus christ I'm sure doing social for Amazon pays a lot better than the warehouse but imagine the stress of managing twenty different accounts "talking" to each other like that

How authentically english to brew a cuppa when you're expecting big news
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 4 June 2021 20:44 (two years ago) link
companies are starting to cut out the risky, unreliable part of social media, people, and instead are talking to themselves.
why are they doing this? because asking yourself questions and then answering them is a classic political move. you have to remember to imply that you're asking the questions the audience wants to hear, even though you're not.
