When Putin visited Trump in Alaska recently, an old rumor resurfaced: that Putin isn’t always Putin. That he might use one – or several – body doubles.

In this video, I dig into what it is about Putin’s hyper-masculine strongman image that makes him such fertile ground for conspiracy theories – and what our obsession with spotting the “fake” Putin reveals about power, masculinity, and ourselves.

🤖 Can AI imagine people in different professions — without slipping into old gender stereotypes?

That’s what I explore in my new YouTube video, where I experiment with popular image-generating AI tools like Midjourney, DALL·E (via ChatGPT), and Leonardo.ai.

I asked the AI bots to visualize various professions: professor, nurse, boss, preschool teacher, and photographer. I didn’t specify gender. Nor ethnicity. Just the job.

So, what does a “neutral” boss or professor look like — according to AI?

Join me in the lab to see the fascinating, eerie, and weird results.

I also ask: Can we really criticize AI’s lack of imagination when it comes to inclusive representation — when their creations are based on images we humans have already made?

“The most powerless image of a president ever created by a camera.”
That’s how one commentator described this photo of Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

But why does Musk — not the president — look like the one in charge? In this video, I break down how camera angles, posture, body language, and clothing can signal power — and how subtle cues can flip the visual hierarchy.

In the second half, I analyze a historic photo from post–WWII Japan, where a casual American general was posed to dominate a god-emperor — and how gender roles were possibly invoked as a subtle tool of humiliation.

This analysis is the second part of a longer video, which you can see here:
Trump ❤️ Musk – Why Are We Obsessed With Sexualizing Their Bromance?

When Donald Trump and Elon Musk teamed up during the 2024 election, the internet flooded with memes portraying them as a gay lovers—often casting one as the other’s “wife” or “bottom.”

What is this trend really about? And could the strategy of mocking self-proclaimed “alpha males” as feminine or submissive figures backfire politically?

In the second part of the video, I analyze what has been called “the most powerless image of a president ever”—and compare it to an iconic photo from the end of World War II that was meant to signal dominance, but also unintentionally invites homoerotic interpretations.
