If you haven't checked out Carrier Bag, a new site for art and politics, I highly recommend it.

Excellent videos posted recently from symposium organized by Hito Steyerl and Francis Hunger on Art in the Age of the Average.

Very interesting takes from Central Eastern Europe angle to Hayek's Bastards, asking where Klaus, Orbán and the FPÖ fit. With response from me. Thx to @vapunkt.bsky.social, Béla Greskovits, Daniel Šitera. cjir.iir.cz/index.php/cj...

Peter Boehringer of the AfD, the goldbug I spend some time talking about in Hayek's Bastards, siding with free trader Musk against Navarro in the FT. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
