Elon Musk and his unqualified lawyer are a joke. Ben Brody filed a defamation suit against Elon Musk for false accusations Musk made on Twitter and when finally deposed in the case, Elon shows up with a lawyer who can't practice law in the state of Texas, accuses the Plaintiff's attorney, Mark Bankston, of being the one who brought the suit, and claims that Twitter is the best place to find accurate reporting of the news. It's frustrating and disgusting and you will want to listen to every detail.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Ian Millhiser, senior correspondent at Vox, to discuss the upcoming Supreme Court term. Then, they're joined by litigator Mark Bankston who has a special announcement! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on our 45-day reprieve from a government shutdown, the ongoing chaos among the House GOP despite that, Gov. Newsome's disappointing unilateral action, Donald Trump's fraud case, and labor action nationwide, before parsing through commentary on the House GOP's absurd power struggle. Ian Millhiser then joins, diving right into this Supreme Court term's primary challenges to the administrative state – namely Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo – exploring the lasting governance of the Chevron Doctrine's deference to government agencies, and the sudden emergence of the anti-democratic “Major Questions Doctrine” that the Court has been using to undermine any “major” decisions by government agencies (including student debt reform). After parsing through the evolution of these two doctrines (and the jurisprudence backing them up) and how Loper might see SCOTUS move onto the “Micromanaging Questions Doctrine,” Millhiser walks Sam and Emma through the radicalization of the US' 5th Circuit over the Donald Trump administration, exploring how the GOP was able to blockade Obama's appointments and confirm Trump's en-masse. Wrapping up, Ian, Sam, and Emma tackle the far-right decisions coming out of the 5th Circuit, and what (if anything) the Supreme Court will do to keep their underlings in line. After Sam and Emma quickly parse through Jamaal Bowman's ongoing Congressional debacle, they're joined by Mark Bankston to discuss his representation of Ben Brody in a defamation case against Elon Musk, parsing through the issue at hand, what libel cases entail, and the vast damages that can come from the abuse of one's public station. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma tackle the madness surrounding the still-impending government shutdown, dive a little deeper into the unsurprisingly racist coverage of Jamaal Bowman… pulling a fire alarm, and assess Biden's recent statement on the Civil Rights Act. Next, they dive deep into Gavin Newsom's astounding decision to name Laphonza Butler – a fundraiser who's never held public office – to Dianne Feinstein's Senate Seat over the over-deserving Barbara Lee, before Owen from LA helps parse through Butler's past, Dan from CA provides some good ol' unproductive libertarian debate, and Hannah from San Diego dives into the absurdity of the rental market as a military-civilian.

Ben Brody is an independent photographer, educator, and picture editor working on long-form projects related to the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and their aftermath.  He is the Director of Photography for The GroundTruth Project and Report for America, and a co-founder of Mass Books.His first book, Attention Servicemember, was shortlisted for the 2019 Aperture - Paris Photo First Book Award and is now in its second edition.Ben holds an MFA from Hartford Art School's International Low-Residency Photography program.  He resides in western Massachusetts. On episode 188, Ben discusses, among other things:How he got into photography.How 9/11 influenced his decision to join the army.The mandate he was given by his superiors.Reappropriating the reappropriated.How the media's portrayal of war becomes a ‘feedback loop'.Vernacular vs. ‘professional' images of war, as exemplified by Abu Ghraib.Why he went to Afghanistan as a civilian photographer.Circumventing the restrictions of the embed program.His new book 300M and how it came about.Referenced:Kurt Vonnergut, Slaughterhouse FiveEd ClarkJoe SaccoShabana Basij-RasikhWebsite | Instagram | Books | 300m (video)“I felt like there was a space in culture to make a photobook that was narrated by a totally ordinary soldier, who was not some scary CAG operator or CIA spook. And also by a pretty ordinary photographer, not like a famous photographer with a storied history who's really invested in a cult of personal celebrity. When I made Attention Service Member and now 300M, which is almost like an epilogue to Service Member, I had the luxury of having probably seventy five photobooks already about the global war on terror that had come out before me. So I was able to analyse those books and assess, ‘what hasn't been done before?'”

Igor Posner was born in Leningrad (St. Petersburg). After the fall of the Soviet Union, Igor moved to California in the early 90s. He studied molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he first started to take pictures and experiment in the darkroom. This initial infatuation with picture-taking led Igor to explore the silent and haunting experience of walking after dark on the streets of Los Angeles and Tijuana. This first series of images No Such Records savors the strange solitude of the enigmatic region between California and Mexico; amid the streets, bars, night shelter hotels, and its disappearing night figures. After 14 years, Igor returned to St. Petersburg in 2006, taking up photography full time, which led to a book project entitled Past Perfect Continuous, published by Red Hook Editions in 2017. At present, Igor is based in New York and working on a long term project exploring psychological aspects of migration and the gradual disappearance of neighborhoods based on Russian immigrant communities in North America. Igor's work has been shown in North America, Europe, Russia, and Southeast Asia. He joined the Prospekt Photographers agency as a full member in 2011. Ben Brody is an independent photographer, educator, and picture editor working on long-form projects related to the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and their aftermath. He is the Director of Photography for The GroundTruth Project and Report for America, and a co-founder of Mass Books. His first book, Attention Servicemember, published by Red Hook Editions and designed by Kummer & Herrman, was shortlisted for the Aperture - Paris Photo First Book Award. Ben holds an MFA from Hartford Art School's International Low-Residency Photography program. He resides in western Massachusetts. On episode 157, Igor and Ben answer some of the following questions:Can you pass on one or two useful tips when it comes to editing and sequencing images for a book? Is there something you can say about the decision making process?When you begin a project, are you thinking about how it will end up - a book, exhibition etc? Does this influence your practice during the shooting phase?When you feel creatively exhausted or uninspired or blocked what do you do to get yourself moving forward again?What else, outside of photographery, are you passionate about? Do you have any other obsessions?Do you rely on a number of distinct income streams to make a living, and if so how is your 'income pie chart' made up?What is the most exciting photobook (or photographer) you've come across in the last year or so?What's your favourite photobook, and why? Or is there a photobook that was particularly influential?Where do you see the market for photo books heading in the next few years?Which photographer's work has been most influential to you?What advice should young photographers ignore? Are there recommendations you hear a lot that you totally disagree with?How do you fund a project you are going to publish? Does the author have to contribute towards the costs?What is the best fund raising strategy for a photo book?What are some key things to be aware of when contacting a publisher. Any Do's and Dont's?Any suggestions for putting together a book proposal?How do you choose the projects you are going to publish?Where do you see the market for photo books heading in the next few years? Igor: Website | Instagram | Redhook EditionsBen: Website | Instagram | The GroundTruth Project | Mass Books

Brody debunks lies and shatters delusions by confronting false narratives and simplistic notions of war. Revealed is the perpetuation of military-created propaganda commonly amplified by legacy formats of the media. War, Brody argues, does not contain moral and noble causes nor glorifies or institutes an ideology; it weaponizes human instincts and makes monsters of everyone. In this book group, Ben Brody discusses, among other things:Self publishing realities aka the brutality of bookmakingThe key factor of the photographers intention The import of citizen journalismUsing the medium of the book to layer conceptEssential expertise of book designers Artists who use photo vs photographers who use artSelf Licking Ice Cream Cones (see glossary)Starting your own book imprintReferenced in the episode Kummer & Hermann Groundtruth ProjectReport4AmericaForeverstan ProjectMass BooksParis Photo/ Aperture Photobook AwardsBen Brody Website | InstagramEngage with J.

  Bio Dr. Desmond Upton Patton (@SAFELab) is an assistant professor at the Columbia School of Social Work and a Faculty Affiliate of the Social Intervention Group (SIG) and the Data Science Institute. His research utilizes qualitative and computational data collection methods to examine how and why youth and gang violence, trauma, grief and identity are expressed on social media and the real world impact they have on well-being for low-income youth of color. His current research projects examine: How gang involved youth conceptualize threats on social media The extent to which social media shapes and facilitates youth and gang violence Developing an online tool for detecting aggression in social media posts in partnership with the Data Science Institute at Columbia. Dr. Patton's research on Internet Banging has been discussed on several media outlets, including the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, NPR, Boston Magazine, ABC News, and Vice; it  was most recently cited in an Amici Curae Brief submitted to the United States Supreme Court in the Elonis v. United States case which examined the issues of interpreting threats on social media. Before coming to Columbia in July of 2015, Dr. Patton was an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Social Work and School of Information. He received a BA in Anthropology and Political Science, with honors, from the University of North Carolina- Greensboro, an MSW from the University of Michigan School of Social Work, and a PhD in Social Service Administration from the University of Chicago. Resources SAFELab at Columbia University's School of Social Work The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish News Roundup Mueller indicts 13 Russians in '16 election hacking  You have undoubtedly heard by now about FBI special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's indictment of 13 Russians who allegedly maintained a vast network of content creators in order to sway the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump. The defendants used social media by amplifying primarily mainstream news content, according to a new Columbia University study. The network stole Americans' identities, and created fake social media profiles to spread divisive content that favored Donald Trump. But the hacking began in 2014, prior to president Trump's announcement that he would be running for president. The defendants even promoted content that favored Bernie Sanders' primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. So the Trump administration is using this to try to illustrate that the Russians' primary effort was to subvert our entire political system, rather than support Donald Trump's election, specifically. Trump's opponents argue that Russian conspirators saw the seating of Donald Trump as President as a no-brainer, given his susceptibility to blackmail because of his alleged hiring of prostitutes in 2013 in Moscow and his real estate deals with Russians. Sharon Lafraniere and Matt Apuzzo report for the New York Times. Craig Timberg reports for the Washington Post. But you can find coverage everywhere. Meanwhile, Trump's Director of National Intelligence warns that there is “no doubt” that Russians are planning to hack this year's midterm elections. The consensus is that we're not prepared for that. In fact, the website Hamilton 68, reported that Russian bots flooded Twitter with pro-gun messaging following Wednesday's school shooting in Parkland Florida that left 17 dead. FCC is investigating its own Chairman Pai Cecilia Kang at the New York Times reported last week that the FCC's Inspector General is investigating FCC Chairman Ajit Pai for illegally paving the way for Sinclair Broadcasting. Pai led the agency in several efforts that, appearing to some, seemed timed to Sinclair's proposed $3.9 billion acquisition of Tribune Media, including the relaxation of the media ownership cap and newspaper broadcast cross-ownership rules. Amazon boosts lobbying spending Spencer Soper, Naomi Nix, Ben Brody and Bill Allison report for Bloomberg that Amazon has significantly increased its lobbying spending in Washington.

The bipartisan bill, which met initial resistance and then acceptance by large tech companies, seeks to limit an exception in the Communications Decency Act that shields web hosts from liability for illegal content, such as prostitution ads, posted by third parties. The Senate bill would eliminate the exception for websites that knowingly facilitate sex trafficking. Ben Brody has more in Bloomberg.

CEOs urge Congress to protect DREAMERS With the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) set to expire on March 5th, more than 100 American CEOs sent a joint letter to Congress urging it to pass a bill to allow Dreamers--the children of undocumented immigrants who brought them to the U.S.--to remain in the country.
