I actually gave an academic paper about this recently! An interesting consequence of these bad faith attention seekers (esp. politicians) is that their behaviour can also become a form of humour and mockery. For every bad political rhetoric there are opportunities for anti-rhetoric!

Me presenting at Kantl at the Humour and Conflict in the Digital Age conference.
I can’t think of a better first post for this app than to remind myself of the pleasure I had presenting at the HACIDA conference last week. Not just a beautiful venue but also some amazing research presented!
