✨ Our SMIDGE colleague @NybroPetersen presented her research at #AoIR2024 in Sheffield! 🎉Her talk, All the World’s a Clue: Forensic Play as Participatory Practice between Fandom and Conspiracy Theories, explored the overlap between fan culture and conspiracy theories.
This panel highlighted how fan-like practices influence political propaganda and online radicalization. Insightful research into how online communities shape narratives in unexpected ways!

Just reached 3k downloads for season 1 of Ill Effects. ❤️
We start recording season 2 next week.
Sorry for not posting more on this app, but it's a hellsite run by a fascist.

Just had to appeal our Cuties episode on YouTube for inciting violence and encouraging conspiracy theories. I'm not sure that was the pitch of the episode. 🙄

This is as upsetting to us as it is to you, but to understand the modern American right then you also need to understand the last 40 years of pro wrestling.

We explore that history in this episode.

"We are keen to blame anything from smartphones to social media to video games for the problems that our kids are experiencing – anything, that is, except ourselves."
Brilliant piece by @kezamacdonald explaining why young people are 'addicted' to video games. theguardian.com/games/articl…

Excited to announce two related publications from the latest issue of MOVIE! 1) My interview with Richard Dyer about aesthetics and textual analysis; 2) an audiovisual essay of sorts, inspired by one strand of our conversation, 'Reading With the Grain'. Extract here, links below.
