1 In age of #politics driven to a large extent by #spectacle, #MarkCarney has an unusually low interest in the purely #performative / #spectacle-driven aspects of news conferences and similar events, perhaps because he has not been a politician for very long, and … 🧵 #cdnpoli
#performative
“ #Ceasefire”: another word whose original meaning has been excised and replaced with an entirely #performative core.
Oh gee Donny (like the rest of his MAGAt cronies) is pretending to care about women's rights. He who is a man who is actually misogynistic, is weaponising the smoking mirror of "women's rights" to justify his transphobia
Really nice piece on the misuse or contradictory use -- contranym -- of #performative
'Performative' means an utterance or speech act which effects change in the world. Like the words 'I do' spoken in context of wedding. Before saying it, you were not married, then you were. Nothing happened but everything changed!
💯 Annoying that the way it's used now undermines speech act theory, not to mention gender performativity.

White America, like a ghost that doesn't know it's dead, haunts the Empire it built out of denial & asphalt. Every era gave it a sacred moment to grow a soul, & every time it chose a slogan instead.
It grieved nothing cuz it believed it has lost nothing. But what is whiteness, really if not the taxidermy of identity. A stitched together myth kept upright by debt, delusion & Home Depot?
This isn't about guilt. Guilt is #performative. Guilt gets you a TED Talk & a book deal.
There’s a gap between what we think keeps us safe and what actually does. In cybersecurity, that gap is often filled by performative gestures, check-the-box policies, and flashy tools that offer comfort — but little protection. This is the illusion of security. And the more we rely on it,...

Politics is for power | @destiny
@blogoklahoma All that just to trick folks into sending them $5 to "train democrats." Performative political theatre at its finest. He didn't even filibuster anything!

DEI initiatives were all #performative #bullshit anyway. Really heavy on crafting a public image, with plenty of internal and external #propaganda and #marketing. #Target is not interested in actually supporting marginalized communities, just increasing profits.
The annual #pride stuff was the epitome of it. They only sold Pride goods in June but never year round. When right wingers put pressure on them for it, they folded like empty soda cans in a 24 ton hydraulic press.

The #AltGov crowd left X because Elon: "The group has since moved from X, which is owned by Musk, to Bluesky. “It’s not safe to organize [on X] anymore,” Stahl said." ... as if ...
Hi everyone. I'm an artist and am trying a new venture here. I'm a #sculptor who works in many different materials. I also engage in #performative work alongside #filmmaking #16mmfilm #videoWork and #clay #ceramics #glass
I often work through contexts that want to lift hidden histories often #feminist and #decolonial practices.
Serious but also material experimental. I'm looking forward to meet more #cultural interested people here.
Day 4 of #FirstHundredDays for #Trump: the clear and consistent theme is #performative #theatrics, #spectacle, #BreadAndCircuses. It’s #MAGA #bullshit and #enshittification. #BridgeToNowhere
'#TheDailyShow' Spots 4 Major #Flaws In #NancyMace's '#Performative' #AntiTrans '#Bullshit'.
#DesiLydic spotted how the #SouthCarolina #congresswoman's old self "would not be happy" with her #antitrans #campaign.
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.
Conservative leader, Pierre #Poilievre is threatening to bring down the Liberal government if they don't get rid of the carbon tax.
👉 "Canadian conservatives are feigning outrage at carbon pricing to distract from their lack of an actual plan or action on the environment."

Minister Lecce is more concerned about a 2 minute solar eclipse than a biosafety level 3 pathogen in your kid's classroom.
