Hi guys, I just started a new project: the doomsday alert system. A Telegram channel where every morning the doomsday scenario of the day is shared with matching memes. The bot bases its statements on daily news. It would be cool if you join! t.me/Handy_Katast...

This strange mix of fascination and unease led me to create "imagine he was ugly", a provocative exploration of the surreal glorification surrounding Mangione and the unsettling dynamics of how social media celebrates flawed figures. /3

As I scrolled through these posts, I started thinking about the strange phenomenon of how online culture transforms flawed individuals into cult figures. Folk heroes have always existed, but social media seems to amplify the process, turning moments of infamy into objects of (erotic) obsession. /2
