Finally got my hands on @mckenziewark.bsky.social’s “Raving” - can’t wait to read 🪩

google search has been like this for a while, but it's highly concerning that the news tab is now hidden and you have to expand a dropdown to even get to it....

What a treat! At the invitation of Dr. Annett Heft of the newly-founded Institute for Research on Far Right Extremism (IRex), I had the opportunity to speak to a group of Master's students at @unituebingen.bsky.social about influencers & the U.S. election. First time in Schwaben - won't be the last!
