There’s no way to be certain, but it seems likely J.R.R Tolkien would have been deeply disturbed to see the words “Anduril” or “Palantir” inscribed on a cruise missile or an AI targeting system. currentaffairs.org/news/how-the-r…

For a Left sorely in need of material to spark the political imagination, Andor is one of the most interesting and useful pieces of mass media of the last decade. currentaffairs.org/news/andor-sho…

If alternative energy isn’t displacing fossil fuels, can it be said to be reducing carbon emissions and thus tackling the climate crisis? Obviously not. In fact, it may be doing the opposite. currentaffairs.org/news/dirty-lie…

Responded to The Atlantic's ridiculous and unfair claim that Zohran Kwame Mamdani is "impractical at best" for proposing things like free transit and free child care that already exist and work elsewhere. currentaffairs.org/news/they-alwa…

Thiel, Vance, and Yarvin don’t understand the first thing about Tolkien. They’ve taken an author who was inherently suspicious of wealth, power, and those who seek them, and they’ve turned his words and symbols into celebrations of those very things. currentaffairs.org/news/how-the-r…

The UAE is a dictatorship with one of the worst human rights records on earth. It has the seventh highest rate of modern-day slavery. For women and LGBT people, the situation is dire. But in Western media, you’re more likely to hear about their chocolate. currentaffairs.org/news/dubai-cho…

When bold egalitarian policies are proposed, they are inevitably branded impossible, even if they’re feasible. See the case of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. currentaffairs.org/news/they-alwa…

Free universal childcare should sound no more radical than free public elementary school. It just involves lowering the age at which the government is willing to step in and provide care. currentaffairs.org/news/they-alwa…

The Atlantic takes unfair swipes at leftists, making contemptuous declarations that aren’t backed up by sources and arguments. currentaffairs.org/news/they-alwa…
