O vício em concreto tem cura?Anselm Jappe
O eco encontrado pelo meu livro Concreto: arma de construção massiva do capitalismo(L’Échappée, 2020) acabou por surpreender a mim mesmo.
Naturalmente que desde a minha juventude tenho ouvido queixas sobre as “tristes cidades de concreto”, sobre esse concreto sempre associado ao “cinza”. Mas, em comparação com a energia nuclear e o petróleo, com o plástico e os pesticidas, o concreto mantinha um…

VALORANT Agent Popularity Contest
As a new returnee to the VALORANT fandom, I was astounded by the lack of Harbor - I had imagined he would be at least moderately popular, not down at the bottom. That's fixable, but it got me wondering, Just how unpopular is Harbor really?
I decided to use AO3 as a measure of fandom popularity because it's easily searchable. The total number of fics doesn't mean much, because some characters have been out for much longer, so I divided it by the number of days since each character's release to get the rate of fics per day. Without further ado, the list:
Neon - 1.1213 fics/day (1054 fics/940 days)
Sage - 1.1187 fics/day (1772 fics/1584 days)
Chamber - 1.1024 fics/day (1098 fics/996 days)
Yoru - 1.0729 fics/day (1399 fics/1304 days)
Fade - 0.9904 fics/day (826 fics/834 days)
Jett - 0.9495 fics/day (1504 fics/1584 days)
Killjoy - 0.9283 fics/day (1360 fics/1465 days)
Cypher - 0.9078 fics/day (1438 fics/1584 days)
Viper - 0.9066 fics/day (1436 fics/1584 days)
Phoenix - 0.8681 fics/day (1375 fics/1584 days)
Iso - 0.7943 fics/day (224 fics/282 days)
Sova - 0.7487 fics/day (1186 fics/1584 days)
Brimstone - 0.7431 fics/day (1177 fics/1584 days)
Gekko - 0.7327 fics/day (381 fics/520 days)
Reyna - 0.6891 fics/day (1053 fics/1528 days)
Deadlock - 0.6324 fics/day (258 fics/408 days)
Raze - 0.6321 fics/day (987 fics/1584 days)
Omen - 0.5859 fics/day (928 fics/1584 days)
Clove - 0.5259 fics/day (71 fics/135 days)
Skye - 0.5257 fics/day (726 fics/1381 days)
Breach - 0.3087 fics/day (489 fics/1584 days)
KAY/O - 0.2966 fics/day (339 fics/1143 days)
Astra - 0.2606 fics/day (327 fics/1255 days)
Harbor - 0.2545 fics/day (168 fics/660 days)
(Data collected 8/8/2024.)
It turns out, the answer to Just how unpopular is Harbor really? is that he is at the absolute bottom of the list (at least according to our narrow definition of popularity). This definition isn't perfect, but it's the best I can think of - if you have any suggestions let me know!
I also got information on the most popular ships and tags, which I will post as soon as I get them presentable. Spoiler: people are horny for Chamber.
Did this turn out how you thought it would? Who did you expect to be lower or higher? (Harbor aside, I was quite impressed that Sage has managed more than one fic per day on average for four years now.) I'm going to end this here because that Harbor fic isn't going to write itself. Let me know what you think!

I WAS RIGHT ISO IS TRAUMATISED oh my GOD
I probably shouldn't be so happy about my cruel headcanon being confirmed, but god.
Sorry Gekko, move out of the way, Iso is MY baby now.
Listen to the whole thing on REVEN VALORANT's channel! The voiceline's not added to the wiki yet. (I haven't found it there, anyway.)
