In my latest academic publication I propse to supplement the concept of dated film (Jamie Baron), which encompasses cultural and aesthetic datedness, by ideological datedness.

Films of the Soviet period now constitute our “new cinema”.

Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It’s a day to raise awareness around all forms of violence against women and girls and to call for an end to gender-based violence.

Seit dem Pelicot-Prozess werden immer wieder ähnliche Taten bekannt. Diese werfen ein grelles Licht auf ein patriarchales Massenphänomen, das tiefe Spuren in der Kulturgeschichte hinterlassen hat: den Missbrauch heimlich betäubter Opfer:

Interviewing foreigners living in Latvia. A few gems:

"Latvians LOVE paper."(about bureaucracy, which heavily relies on physical paper sheets)
"It's a culture of penalty." (so true)
"Latvian society is like islands of warmth with a placid ocean in between." (also true)

Also, Springer Nature's address is in the tax haven of Cham, Zug, Switzerland. 42 other companies are registered in that same building:

Even so, there is space available for rent:

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.

Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

Wir wären schon ein ganz schönes Stück weiter im Kampf gegen sexualisierte Gewalt, wenn wir anerkennen würden, dass Männer in aller Regelmäßigkeit solidarisch mit Tätern sind, sich zu deren Reintegration mit ihrer Reputation zur Verfügung stellen und sich damit an der Bagatellisierung beteiligen 1/2

Das Ganze dient nicht weniger als dem Erhalt patriarchaler Strukturen. So wie wir Frauen einander Strategien weitergeben, wie wir uns vor Gewalt schützen, so gibt es ebenfalls unter Männern die Tradierung von Täter- und Verharmlosungsstrategien. Männliche Solidarität wird erlernt und gefördert. 2/2

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
A Twitter account called Ivanka News tweets an AI image of a young woman wearing Muslim garb. The woman is holding a sign that says "I came here illegally. Should I be deported?" Ivanka News writes: What is your response to this person ?? In the "About this account" tab, it appears the account is based in Nigeria An account called MAGA scope writes: Who, in your view is the great enemy of the United States? Communism, Islam, Democratic Party, or Satan? The account is based in Nigeria. An account called MAGA Nadine writes: You go to work and find this. What would you do? The attached pic is an AI image that shows a microwave. The microwave has a sign that says "For religious reasons, this microwave is now making halal food only." The account is based in Morocco. An account called America First posts an AI image of Tulsi Gabbard. They wrote: How would you rate your trust in Tulsi Gabbard on a scale of 1-10?
