I was expecting to read this and learn she was doing like 66 in a 60 zone or some shit but this woman was flying?!

This lady in Sydney seems to be claiming (bizarrely) that because she speeds so often she should get a grace period after each of her fines to continue speeding without penalty.

Looking like a sub-50 vote margin in MS-Sen, and Mississippi is the one state that has no recount law on the books. Welp. That's unexpected.

Australia’s first ever NFL game began with a land acknowledgment. This is insane. Australia also has a national sorry day where the country apologizes to the aborigines every year. If you think the US can’t get crazier, it can.

A little delayed on this, but my paper "The metaethical commitments of intuition use in analytic political theory" is out in @CRISPP_PolPhil ! I examine how intuitions come with metaethical commitments, and how theorists acknowledge them (or don't)! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
The metaethical commitments of intuition use in analytic political theory

The metaethical commitments of intuition use in analytic political theory

Analytic political theory often relies on intuitions. However, studies that use and critique intuitions are often silent on the underlying metaethical assumptions about intuitions. Metaethical theo...

We played for you and hope we made you proud 💚 Every cheer. Every message. Every hug. We heard you. We felt you. It’s an agonising way for the tournament to end and all the emotions are very real. We showed we’re right there with the best in the world in tournament baseball, but still have some work to do. The only way we can do it is together. Let’s back each other, be kind, and inspire Australia to play this great game. Hurting tonight but we’ll be back. We love Australia and we love you 💚
