Miami, Florida, March 19th, 2025/Chainwire/--Dogecoin Racing, launched by the House of Doge and the Dogecoin Foundation is teaming up with NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver Devlin DeFrancesco and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing to bring Dogecoin to the iconic motorsports event—the Indy 500—while supporting a cause that is deeply personal to the team. Dogecoin Foundation Dogecoin Foundation Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing The Indianapolis 500, known as "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing," returns for its 109th running on Memorial Day weekend on May 25, drawing over 350,000 spectators in person and reaching a global audience in over 140 countries. This year brings with it a historic partnership with the Dogecoin race car taking center stage, empowering fans with the opportunity to vote on DeFrancesco’s Indy 500 car design featuring the iconic Dogecoin Shiba Inu. historic partnership historic partnership Dogecoin, like DeFrancesco, was born FAST! DeFrancesco was 15 weeks premature and weighed just one pound at birth, given his last rights on two occasions, and spent four months in the Neo-Natal ICU before making a miraculous recovery. Now, as a professional race car driver, he’s using his platform to give back to critically ill children. As part of this Dogetastic partnership, DeFrancesco, a dog lover, and Dogecoin fan, will personally donate $25,000 in Dogecoin to Riley Children’s Foundation in Indianapolis, aligned with Riley Children’s Health, a leading pediatric care center. This initiative also marks a historic moment in motorsport, as DeFrancesco has committed to receive $100,000 of his salary in Dogecoin. A bold step forward for crypto adoption in professional sports. “I first invested in Dogecoin in 2020 and drove everyone crazy, telling anyone who would listen that they needed to own it. It’s not only my favorite crypto, but the plan to become a global currency and drive payment adoption is awesome. I’m pumped to be part of the community and an ambassador for the vision,” Devlin shared. “I first invested in Dogecoin in 2020 and drove everyone crazy, telling anyone who would listen that they needed to own it. It’s not only my favorite crypto, but the plan to become a global currency and drive payment adoption is awesome. I’m pumped to be part of the community and an ambassador for the vision,” Devlin shared. Voting to Bring an Iconic Doge Design to the Indy 500 Track and Make Doge History To celebrate the making of Dogecoin History, House of Doge, the Dogecoin Foundation and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing are launching a fan-powered contest, allowing the Dogecoin community to choose the official race car wrap and helmet design that Devlin will wear at the Indy 500. From March 19 to March 25, fans can vote on their favorite design and enter to win a Dogecoin wallet loaded with $1,000. VOTES OPEN TODAY: Three potential versions of the No. 30 Dogecoin Honda include: ● Blaze – This livery burns so hot, it makes the sun look like a nightlight. Some say it was forged in the volcanic fires of Kīlauea and once it hits the track, all that’s left behind is smoke, embers, and the shattered dreams of others ● Turbowave – This livery is so 80s, it comes with a free synthwave soundtrack and a pair of neon sunglasses. Some say if you drive it at night, it glitches into a parallel universe where Miami Vice never ended and every race runs in slow motion with looping palm trees in the background. ● BananaBoost – This livery is so slippery, that Mario’s filing an official complaint. Powered by pure potassium, it’s sure to slip past the competition while making swift work of pesky turtle shells. "Dogenate" to Children's Health for a Chance to Win the Ultimate Collector's Prize As part of this partnership, House of Doge and the Dogecoin Foundation are rallying the Dogecoin community to join DeFrancesco in making a real-world impact by supporting children’s health. In addition to casting a vote, contributions in Dogecoin to Riley’s provide an opportunity to win the ultimate collector’s prize. The largest Dogecoin donor leading up to race day will receive an exclusive, one-of-a-kind Indy 500 racing helmet, worn - and signed - by DeFrancesco himself during his Indy 500 qualifying run. The Dogecoin-powered fundraising campaign will directly benefit Riley Children’s Foundation, which supports Riley Children’s Health, home to one of the nation’s top-ranked neonatology programs by U.S. News & World Report. The funds raised will help provide life-saving medical care to newborns, including those born prematurely or with critical conditions requiring immediate and specialized treatment. House of Doge encourages the Dogecoin community to race toward generosity, make history, and support this incredible cause leading up to the Indy 500 on May 25.

Such methods typically capture an aggregated snapshot of polarization across large textual corpora, providing a static quantification of media bias based on preset criteria. As a result, such approaches seldom capture temporal fluctuations in semantic polarity. Only a few research to date quantify linguistic polarization over time. For example, researchers have measured partisan trends in congressional speech by defining polarization as the expected posterior probability that a neutral observer would infer a speaker’s political party from a randomly selected utterance (Gentzkow, Shapiro, and Taddy 2019) across various issues. Demszky et al. use this Bayesian approach to capture how social media discussions on mass shootings become increasingly divisive (2020). Such methods, however, capture linguistic polarization as a general metric across nearly all aggregated words within a textual corpus. Given the powerful salience of certain topical keywords that are inseparable from American politics, unlike prior work, we focus on how specific keywords polarize over time. We depart from previous approaches by devising a framework that captures semantic polarity as a function of how two different entities semantically diverge across time in their contextual use of identical words that are central to the American public discourse. Specifically, we measure linguistic polarization by capturing the diachronic shifts in how two news stations use the same topical words on their news programs over an 11-year period. Further, in effort to understand the linguistic drivers behind how and why semantic polarization evolves, we aim to identify the source of diachronic shifts based on how two different entities use identical, politically contentious keywords. Few research has endeavored to detect causal factors underlying how the meaning of words changes over time, which remains an open challenge in NLP scholarship (Kutuzov et al. 2018). Hamilton et al. show how word meanings change between consecutive decades due to cultural shifts (e.g., change in the meaning of “cell” driven by technological advancement: prison cell vs. cell phone) (2016). Yet such research typically makes a priori assumptions that the language between two textual corpora of comparison are significantly related without statistically demonstrating how so. On the other hand, research that do provide evidence of statistical relations between two separate textual data (Dutta, Ma, and Choudhury 2018), generally do not explain what words drive the direction of semantic influence from one corpus to another. We overcome these limitations: first, we statistically validate the existence of a significant semantic relationship between two textual corpora, TV news language and social media discourse, through Grangercausality (Study 3). Then, we strategically separate our data by lag-times associated with significant Granger-causal relations and apply a deep learning interpretation technique to demonstrate which contextual words from TV news language influences Twitter discussions around specific topical keywords (and vice-versa) over time. Who Influences Who? Setting a Media Agenda On any given day, newsrooms select news on a wide range of topics that cover a variety of issues. According to Agenda Setting Theory, this selection process leads audiences to see certain issues as more significant than others (McCombs 1997). Agenda Setting was particularly useful in decades past when media was much more consolidated. In the U.S. for example, three major networks (NBC, ABC, and CBS) provided the bulk of broadcast news content, and so their news agendas had broad influence on what audiences saw as important. However, today’s media landscape is much more fragmented. People receive their news from any number of sources including television, newspapers, radio, online websites, and social media. In such an environment, Agenda Setting has certain limitations as the theory assumes that audiences are relatively passive and simply receive information from the media. This was true when news flowed one-way from the media to the mass public. By contrast nowadays, the two-way form of communication afforded by the internet and social media makes it possible for the public to both influence media agendas and be influenced by them (Papacharissi 2009; Barnard 2018). As a result, new scholarship has argued through Intermedia Agenda Setting Theory that media agendas do not come entirely from within their own organizations, but from two other sources: other media and the mass audience. In the latter case, for example, audiences themselves can influence media agendas through online affordances (e.g., retweeting, commenting, sharing), to raise certain issues to prominence online (Rogstad 2016). In this work, we explore these new emerging dynamics with an interest in not only understanding how news agendas are constructed, but how the possible adoption of different agendas might influence agenda dynamics as media interact with the public online.

Temporal Dynamics in Linguistic Polarization

Periwinkle Entertainment, Inc. v. The Walt Disney Company Court Filing retrieved [redacted] is part of HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series. You can jump to any part in this filing here. This part is 6 of 12. C. Disney Announces the Launch of Streaming Platform Disney+, Leading Marvel to Further Clarify Its Promises to Ms. Johansson 25. On August 8, 2017, Disney announced its plans to launch “a new Disney-branded direct-to-consumer service in 2019.” This then-unnamed service would eventually become Disney+, a SVOD platform that is wholly owned by Disney and features films and television series from an array of Disney brands. 26. By the time Disney+ launched on November 12, 2019, it was competing with a number of other major subscription streaming platforms, including but not limited to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, CBS All Access, HBO Now, and Apple TV+. With an initial subscription fee of $7 per month, which was thereafter increased to $8 per month, Disney+ needed premium content to convince potential customers to dig into their wallets and shell out for yet another premium SVOD service. 27. At a shareholder meeting on March 7, 2019, Disney’s then-CEO Bob Iger announced that Disney’s entire feature film library would be made available on Disney+. He also signaled that Disney’s 2019 theatrical releases, beginning with MCU entry Captain Marvel, would debut on Disney+ for streaming after their theatrical runs. Finally, Mr. Iger indicated that Disney+ would have its own slate of original films and series. 28. In light of these announcements, Ms. Johansson’s representatives reached out to Marvel to confirm that the launch of Disney+ would not impact the exclusive, wide theatrical release that Ms. Johansson had bargained for in the Agreement. Dave Galluzzi, Marvel’s Chief Counsel, responded on March 20, 2019: Further [to] our conversation today, it is 100% our plan to do a typical wide release of Black Widow. We have very high expectations for the film and are very excited to try to do for Black Widow what we’ve just done with Captain Marvel. We totally understand that Scarlett’s willingness to do the film and her whole deal is based on the premise that the film would be widely theatrically released like our other pictures. We understand that should the plan change, we would need to discuss this with you and come to an understanding as the deal is based on a series of (very large) box office bonuses. (Emphases added.) Mr. Galluzzi attached a fully executed copy of the Agreement to this email. 29. Thus, Mr. Galluzzi, on Marvel’s behalf, communicated his understanding that Ms. Johansson’s WWBO bonus was her primary consideration under the Agreement, that the Picture would be “widely theatrically released,” and that this release would be “like our other pictures,” meaning exclusively to theatres for between 82 and 159 days, with an average uninterrupted window of 117 days. Moreover, Mr. Galluzzi acknowledged on behalf of Marvel that any change in that planned theatrical release would materially and adversely impact the value of the Agreement to Ms. Johansson and thus the deal would need to be renegotiated to account for the reduction in her promised backend compensation.

The New Hollywood leader and one of the world’s most powerful brands just joined forces in a deal that elevates live sports on connected TV (CTV) and hammers another nail in the coffin of linear TV. Netflix announced that it will stream the NFL’s two Christmas Day games in 2024. This marks the beginning of a three-season agreement, during which the streaming service will also air at least one Christmas Day game in both 2025 and 2026. The games will also air on broadcast TV in the competing team cities, and they be available on U.S. mobile devices with NFL+. The Rise of Live Sports on CTV The live sports industry is the last bastion of linear TV viewing. But the world is changing fast. About half of U.S. audiences no longer pay for cable TV or other traditional pay TV services, according to Insider Intelligence. About four out of 10 viewers mainly consume sports content through ad-supported CTV platforms or social media, according to Trade Desk’s Future of TV Report. Streaming services have been gobbling up live sports content over the past few years, ranging from Amazon’s and Peacock’s deals to stream NFL games to Netflix acquiring rights for the WWE. And competition is heating up. A recently announced venture between ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery may account for about 55% of U.S. sports rights, according to Citi analysts. All Hail the NFL Netflix, a Johnny-come-lately to live sports, has good reason to cozy up to the NFL. The NFL dominates television and drives culture. Nielsen says the NFL accounted for a 93 of the 100 most-watched TV broadcasts in 2023. The NFL has wisely sensed and responded to the rise of CTV, agreeing to air games with a variety of streaming companies, among them Amazon Prime, Paramount+, Peacock, and YouTube TV. Thursday Night Football games on Amazon Prime and a Black Friday game (the first ever) in 2024 have delivered ratings and advertising gold. The league created controversy by streaming a 2024 wild card playoff game on Peacock exclusively, which shut out viewers who lacked a Peacock subscription. But the decision delivered numbers: 23 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. NBC said that the game set a record for the most-streamed live event in U.S. history. And Super Bowl LVIII on February 11 game attracted an average viewership of 123.4 million, setting a new record for the most-watched television broadcast in history. Out of this audience, 112 million viewers watched the game on CBS. The remaining viewership was distributed among Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports, and various NFL digital platforms, including NFL+. All Eyes on Amazon The NFL is clearly just getting warmed up. The 2024-25 season will include a game in Brazil streaming exclusively on Peacock. The September 6 game will be the first NFL game played in South America and the second game to air exclusively on Peacock. A playoff wild card game will air on Amazon Prime Video. Amazon streaming a playoff game is especially intriguing. The experience will most certainly be different than the one Peacock featured and speaks to CTV’s potential for changing how people experience live sports. For one thing, Amazon will use the game to test Amazon Ad targeting features as it did with the Black Friday game when Amazon rolled out a new strategy called audience-based creative, allowing advertisers to target different audience segments with different ads in the same time slot.Amazon will also inject commerce into the game-watching experience. Amazon already offers deals for Amazon Prime customers associated with Thursday Night Football, and Amazon really ramped up shopping deals during the 2023 Black Friday game (including limited time deals along with plenty of shoppable ads).Amazon also provides several interactive features to enhance the TV viewing experience, such as X-Ray, which gives fans real-time access to live statistics and data. A feature called the 4th Down Decision Guide offers fans the opportunity to step into the role of NFL coaches during critical moments. It poses the question: should a team attempt to advance on fourth down or opt for a punt? Using machine learning, this tool assesses the success rates of both choices and evaluates their impact on the team's chances of winning the game. These kinds of features (and a lot more) are not gimmicks -- they make watching the game more of an experience. Essentially, Amazon and the NFL are reinventing Black Friday as a hybrid shopping and entertainment experience -- enticing people to stay online and watch football on a day when they’re usually out shopping was at one time unthinkable. The game garnered an average of 9.61 million viewers who watched the Miami Dolphins crush the New York Jets on Amazon Prime Video.The ratings were lower than expected. But Amazon’s first NFL outing with Thursday Night Football underwhelmed at first, too, and now things have turned around. And as Columbia University sports management professor Joe Favorito told The Street, "If you would have said to someone nine million people on the Friday after Thanksgiving are going to watch a streamed NFL game three years ago, people [would] have been jumping up and down." Amazon’s relationship with the NFL will also challenge Netflix to deliver something more experiential especially because Amazon is already creating the state of the art in CTV live sports. I expect Netflix will share more details of its own in coming weeks. A Christmas Advertising Bonanza? Christmas Day marks the NFL’s continued expansion into holiday sports viewing. The NFL averaged 28.4 million viewers across its three games on Christmas Day last season (compare that to the NBA, which averaged 2.8 million across its five games). According to the NFL, last year’s three Christmas games ranking among the top 25 most viewed TV programs of 2023. Analyst Guggenheim predicts that these games will bring in approximately $185 million in direct advertising revenue. This figure is in addition to potential increases in subscriber growth, engagement, or promotional benefits. Such a boost would signify a 15.7% increase over the firm’s existing 2024 advertising forecast of $1.18 billion. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the day is coming when the Super Bowl will move to CTV. Which New Hollywood business will win that prize? NFL photo by Photo by Adrian Curiel on Unsplash.

This marks the beginning of a three-season agreement, during which the streaming service will also air at least one Christmas Day game in both 2025 and 2026. stream the NFL’s two Christmas Day games in 2024 The games will also air on broadcast TV in the competing team cities, and they be available on U.S. mobile devices with NFL+.
