It provides a detailed examination of the Arabic discourse surrounding IS from its peak in October 2014 to the fall of Raqqa in September 2017. Analyzing approximately 29 million Arabic tweets, the authors highlight recurring themes and key events, offering insights into the evolving political landscape and the dynamics of online conversations between IS and its adversaries.

Sono passati cinquant'anni da quando è stato scritto, ma continuiamo a vederlo, Holden Caufield, con quell'aria scocciata, insofferente alle ipocrisie e al conformismo, lui e la sua "infanzia schifa" e le "cose da matti che gli sono capitate sotto Natale", dal giorno in cui lasciò l'Istituto Pencey con una bocciatura in tasca e nessuna voglia di farlo sapere ai suoi. La trama è tutta qui, narrata da quella voce spiccia e senza fronzoli. Ma sono i suoi pensieri, il suo umore rabbioso, ad andare in scena. Perché è arrabbiato Holden? Poiché non lo si sa con precisione, ognuno ha potuto leggervi la propria rabbia e assumere il protagonista ad "exemplum vitae".

Terwijl de zomer van 2004 op zijn einde loopt, proberen zakenpartners en beste vrienden Archy Stallings en Nat Jaffe hun platenzaak van de ondergang te redden. Brokeland Records op Telegraph Avenue in Californië is het laatste bastion tegen alles wat naar vooruitgang riekt - er wordt alleen vinyl verkocht en espressomachines komen er niet in. De toonbank is een verzamelplaats en hangplek voor buurtbewoners. Ondertussen hebben hun echtgenotes Gwen Shanks en Aviva Jaffe-Roth het druk met hun vroedvrouwenpraktijk en vechten ze tegen de heersende vooroordelen; nee, ze beoefenen écht geen voodoo. Gwen verwacht haar eerste kindje en komt erachter dat haar man Archy er een affaire op nahoudt. Aviva en Nat proberen hun puberzoon Julius in het gareel te houden, maar moeten lijdzaam toezien dat hij de beste vriend wordt van Titus, een zonderlinge jongen. Dan opent een megastore zijn deuren en dreigt Brokeland Records van de kaart te worden geveegd. De onderlinge verhoudingen komen op scherp te staan en allemaal moeten ze kiezen: jeugddromen blijven najagen of volwassen worden.

Agent Number 67, nicknamed Pygmy for his diminutive size, arrives in the United States from his totalitarian homeland. An 'exchange student' he is welcomed with open arms by his Midwestern host family.

Along with his fellow operatives, he is planning something big, something truly, truly awful, to bring this big dumb country's fat inhabitants to their knees.
