I have a new paper coming out in Inquiry called ‘The Perils of Epistemic Idealism': philpapers.org/rec/SHITPO-40. I argue that especially in applied, political work, philosophers have a tendency to assume that political harms are primarily a product of false beliefs and misguided concepts.

Cassidy’s “yes” to confirm RFK Jr. has to be the most impactful vote by a single senator in the 21st century, right? Only other one I can recall that comes close is McCain saving the ACA.

Trump has orchestrated a golden age for Australia
China’s epochal rise was the driver of Australia’s first resource boom, in 2025 President Trump has engineered something almost as astounding.

Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.

Yet another Biden administration official admits, after the fact, that the Biden administration's and more broadly America's policy of supporting Israel unconditionally does not work and needs to change.

Has anyone written about the fascist turn in Big Tech as the result of digital services crossing numerous regulatory domains and so the reaction is resistance to democracy rather than profit-reducing compliance?

According to family, Brian Cole is severely autistic and didn’t leave the house much. He also has uncommonly short legs and the suspect in the video does not. 🤔🤔🤔

This raises an excellent question: Why is the media, for a change, lucid on the GOP’s likely miserable fortunes for 2026?
I’d say there’s something else going on: They’re trying to wake Trump up (because most of them like him and want him to have unlimited power).

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.
