@raymondpert Agree, and mind you, it took the gumption of an #Australia-based academic to #critique the susceptibility of #American #presidential #elections to being gamed.
I'm still looking for useful critiques/analyses of this crucial topic emanating from researchers based in the US. Meanwhile, one wonders whether this topic, and the serious study of it, might have somehow been relegated as a "dead-end" or "career-fatal" endeavor for US-based #politicalscience academics?

> Après les immenses succès d’Avengers : Infinity War et Endgame, on aurait pu croire que Joe et Anthony Russo profiteraient de leur statut à Hollywood pour tenter de nouvelles choses au cinéma. Ils ont préféré se réfugier sur les plateformes de streaming, à enchaîner les “contenus” toujours plus lisses et creux.

Outch.

@politipet Ma méchanceté envers les gens n'ayant pas quitté X (ou désinvesti, ou installé autre chose) ne s'arrête pas, maintenant je les traite de "minions" en vrai.
Attention en anglais ça signifie pas "mignon" mais "larbin", "laquais"
Cette théorie philosophique exagérée du suiveur qui tombe toujours amoureux du plus dangereux du plus cruel du plus avide de pouvoir est précieuse actuellement, car on a idiocratie en vrai vs les minions en vrai...

This is the start of a #PanelByPanel essay series where I write about DC Comics' #DoomsdayClock, the big event sequel to #Watchmen of the late 2010s.

I get really cranky about panel choices in this one: https://hpkomics.com/2025/02/panel-by-panel-feb-25-2025-revisiting-doomsday-clock/

I think that after work I will reread Bruno Latours excellent essay "Why has critique run out of steam. If you ever use any type of language or terms connected to postmodernism, then you probably should do that as well:

Crit night!

coming soon at 6pm EST, at Urbanglass in Brooklyn.

I created the following live stream link- I THINK this will work- will be my first time streaming on Peertube-

https://makertube.net/w/oELRGEwd8uLLbKDDrurpQT

EAR Inn repairs are all done, Donald my favorite installer should be putting them back in sometime in the next few days.

Bread #5 will be in the oven. Breadmakers say it takes about 5 breads to start finally getting it. Help put that to the test by breaking it with me in person, OR join in virtually. Not sure I will get to any of the virtual questions, there will be a delay, but I will check em.

Come critique and chat about my work and the work of Inna Babaeva. The two other images here are things I made and are sneak peaks from my slideshow-

hope to see you there!

Hey NYC area friends,
I have a crit night artist talk on February 13th, 6pm at Urbanglass in the classroom (3rd floor). Inna Babaeva is also gonna talk about her work.

I will be talking about this new body of work I refer to as the "Sell Your Soul" series. I increasingly am asking myself the questions- "How can I turn glass into cash and provide paid opportunities for other artists?" I find myself editing my art new ideas to fit this mould- and ensure they actually get out of the sketchbook and into the world. I feel like the edited ideas become more interesting and exciting- but I am curious to hear your thoughts.

Come by, bring a snack or a beer, Would love to chat. Its typically pretty casual, I will present for like 10 or 15 minutes and so will Inna.

I have been thinking about maybe livestreaming it on my Makertube if anyone is interested? I cannot guarantee we will get to chat as much as the in person folks though.

“James Harr, the owner of an online store called ComradeWorkwear, announced on social media that he planned to sell a deck of 'Most Wanted #CEO' playing cards […] [offering] 'a #critique of the #capitalist machine that sacrifices people and planet for profit'”

“Shortly thereafter, platforms from #TikTok to #Shopify disabled both the company’s accounts and Harr’s personal accounts”
