you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

You've probably seen this. But it's a great, quick intro into his work and how to do research. I use it every semester.
