"How could the best-equipped, most #sophisticated military in the world have allowed itself to be #humiliated by a third-rate power?
First of all, Pete #Hegseth and Donald #Trump began with an astonishingly stupid theory of war: the belief that #performative #masculinity is how you win. Hegseth literally believes that the secret of #military #might in an age of AI-enabled drones that can travel hundreds of miles is more #testosterone."

Worth reading re age-related restrictions on social media. Details the Australian legacy-media-led (who benefits?) campaigns & lack of benefits outside that group. As the push spreads:
“What is different about the European moment is the scale of expert opposition already assembled: a broad, cross-disciplinary consensus that the approach being contemplated is the wrong one.“The Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights, Michael O'Flaherty, published a clear rebuke this February: "Banning children's access to social media shifts the responsibility for safety from the platforms that create the environment to the children who navigate it." He called on governments to prioritize binding legal duties, algorithmic transparency, and robust DSA enforcement before reaching for restrictions. The source of harm, he argued, is the platforms' design and incentives, not the children using them.
“Eurochild, the network representing children's rights organizations across Europe, put it with equal directness in its February 2026 position paper: "The choice is not simply between a 'ban' and 'no ban'. That framing obscures the real issue." Eurochild does not call for a blanket ban. It calls for a rights-based framework targeting platform business models — attention extraction, profiling, addictive design — rather than the children navigating them. Its core argument: "Age restrictions can never replace regulation or company responsibility."”

There’s this amazing #TipTop #Buchla #Eurorack panel that has just come out. It’s the #248 #MARF. It’s ridiculously cool, powerful and expensive.
Now that I know I can make controls in #BitwigStudio I am looking forward to developing a #performative #ElectronicMusic setup that is based on #SuzanneCiani’s #BuchlaCookbook following the most excellent #Pyer #VCVRack emulation.

The Rehearsal State: When Governance Becomes Performance
There is a scene in every disaster movie where the official steps to the podium, adjusts the microphone, and assures the public that resources are being mobilized, plans are being activated, and the full weight of the institution is being brought to bear. The audience in the theater knows the official is lying or incompetent or both. The audience at home, watching the real version of the same press conference after the real hurricane or the real chemical spill, has no such certainty. They take the performance at face value. They go to bed believing the plan exists.
This is the rehearsal state: a condition of governance in which the appearance of institutional action has entirely replaced institutional action itself. Briefings substitute for deployments. Executive orders substitute for enforcement mechanisms. A task force substitutes for the task. What remains is an empty dramatic structure, all exposition and no second act, staged with professional lighting and delivered with the practiced cadence of competence.
The theatrical vocabulary is precise here and worth using. In dramatic structure, the second act is where conflict meets consequence. Characters act. Decisions produce outcomes. The machinery of the plot engages with material reality. A play that consists of nothing but first-act exposition, characters explaining what they intend to do, followed by a curtain call would be recognized instantly as a failure of craft. No audience would accept it. Yet this is the structural blueprint of contemporary American governance at nearly every level, and audiences accept it every day.
Consider FEMA’s operations following Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico in 2017. The press briefings were immaculate. Officials appeared before cameras with updated death tolls, logistical summaries, and assurances of coordination with local authorities. A Government Accountability Office report published in 2018 found that FEMA had entered the disaster with a shortage of trained staff, inadequate supply contracts, and no workable distribution plan for an island territory. Some of those failures were structural and predated any individual decision to perform competence at a podium. That distinction matters, and it sharpens the argument: the briefing apparatus and the logistics apparatus operated on separate circuits, and only the briefing circuit ever worked. Briefings ran on schedule. Water did not arrive on schedule. Generators sat in mainland warehouses. An estimated 2,975 people died, many of them in the weeks and months after the storm, from causes that functioning logistics would have prevented. The performance of response was flawless. The response killed people.
Corporate governance replicates the same structure with its own scenography. Beginning around 2020, virtually every Fortune 500 company published a diversity, equity, and inclusion report. The reports featured full-color graphics, letters from the CEO, and quantified commitments. A 2023 analysis by the Washington Post examining SEC filings and internal workforce data found that, at most of the companies studied, the demographic composition of senior leadership had changed by less than two percentage points in three years. The reports were playbills. They described the production without performing it.
Municipal government may be the purest laboratory for studying the rehearsal state because the stage is small enough to see clearly. Any resident of a mid-size American city has attended, or heard accounts of, the community input session. A standardized format governs the proceedings: a gymnasium or auditorium, a panel table at the front, a sign-in sheet, a microphone on a stand for public comments, and a two-minute time limit per speaker. In most cases, the decision this session purports to inform, the zoning variance, the school closure, the budget reallocation, has already been made. Council members or planning commissioners will vote along predetermined lines regardless of what is said at the microphone. What the session provides is the documentation of input, a procedural receipt with no bearing on the outcome. It is a prop in a legal performance designed to satisfy procedural requirements for public participation. The residents who attend and speak and even weep at the microphone are extras in a production whose cast list was finalized before the doors opened.
The dramaturgical term for what these institutions are doing is blocking. In theater, blocking is the choreographed physical movement of actors on stage: where they stand, when they cross, how they position themselves relative to the furniture and to each other. Blocking creates the visual impression of action. A character who crosses downstage with urgency appears to be doing something even if the script gives them nothing to do. American institutional governance has become expert at blocking. Officials move to podiums. They sign documents in front of cameras and tour damaged neighborhoods in windbreakers. Between appearances, they sit at long tables with nameplates. Every movement is choreographed to produce the visual grammar of response, oversight, and authority. The blocking is superb, and it has to be, because there is no script beneath it.
This condition did not arrive overnight. Its roots are tangled with the professionalization of political communication that accelerated after Watergate, when officials learned that the appearance of transparency could substitute for transparency itself. The post-Watergate press conference, with its tabletop microphones and tabulated talking points, was designed as an antidote to secrecy. Within a decade it had become its own species of secrecy, a controlled performance environment in which information was released in calibrated doses, questions were managed through selection and repetition, and the physical staging of openness, the open room, the visible faces, the recorded transcript, masked the operational closure beneath it.
Bad governance is only the surface consequence of the rehearsal state. The deeper damage is a population rendered unable to distinguish governance from its simulation. When citizens have spent decades watching the same dramaturgical structure, the podium, the talking points, the earnest facial expression, the promise of follow-through, they lose the ability to ask whether anything happened after the cameras left. Performance becomes self-ratifying. An official held a press conference, so the public concludes the problem was addressed. A company published a report, so change must have occurred. A meeting was held, so the community was consulted.
This erosion of critical spectatorship is the precondition for something worse. Populations trained to accept the performance of governance as governance itself are structurally prepared to accept authoritarian spectacle as competence. A rally replaces the legislature. Signing ceremonies, staged with flags and witnesses and the slow exhibition of the signature itself, replace the statute. An appearance at the disaster site, the rolled sleeves, the handshake with the first responder, the squint into the middle distance, replaces the relief operation. Authoritarianism does not need to abolish democratic institutions if it can hollow them into stages. The rehearsal state is the advance work.
What would it mean to demand a second act? It would mean treating every institutional announcement as a first-act curtain, an interesting premise that requires development before it can be evaluated. After every press conference, citizens would need to ask what measurable outcome was promised within a defined timeframe. Corporate reports would be treated as promissory notes and audited with the same scrutiny applied to financial statements. And anyone walking into a community input session would carry a single question: has this body ever reversed a decision based on public comment, and if so, when?
The rehearsal state persists because it is comfortable for everyone involved. Officials prefer it because performance is easier than policy. Citizens go along because watching a performance requires less effort than monitoring an outcome. And the press cooperates because a press conference is a story, while the absence of follow-through is a silence that nobody assigns a reporter to cover. Breaking the rehearsal state requires an audience willing to sit through the first act and then refuse to applaud until the second act is performed. That is harder than clapping. It is also the minimum price of self-governance.

#sixteen is an age when legal terms chamge. Today, songs talking about #sweetsixteen produce micro-vomits. As a #collective, suddenly everyone understands. I will never forget, how the adults #laughed at me. How I was laughed at and made fun of. I was 8 years old. I should have known. That's what the adults said. Listen to how men and their supporters talk about #aspiringmodels? Most #outrage is #performative only.

@fist The STOLPERN project and its associated city walk #recontextualized #monuments and locations in Linz, clarified their #Nazi-era connections, pointed out #antisemitic, #racist, and/or ethnic-nationalist content, and highlighted #patriarchal content that has solidified in the city over time. Existing monuments, which tell stories of a fascist and patriarchal past and present, were #contrasted with monuments that do not yet exist, whose outlines were sketched through #performative exercises.

Writers... haha *SLURRRRRP*
In all seriousness, where would we be without #writers? The fight they have been putting up, not just now against #AI, but against the #executives of #Hollywood in general is a David v Goliath type situation.
The #startrek #ds9 writers for instance pushed the envelope for representation long before Disney's #performative #pinkwashing. They were on the front lines, took losses and wins, while people were blissfully unaware of their struggle.
