Thereâs a question I think most people eventually ask when they come across my interfaith intrepid politics news blog, especially if they stay long enough to notice a pattern that doesnât quite match what theyâre used to online. Itâs not a purely partisan space. Itâs not a strictly religious commentary space. Itâs not filtered intoContinue reading “WHY I RUN MY INTERFAITH INTREPID POLITICS NEWS BLOG AS AN OPEN, MULTI-PERSPECTIVE SPACE”

The Danger of Inflated Numbers, The Reality of Online Abuse, And Why Accuracy Still Matters
There are certain stories that immediately generate horror, anger, disgust, and fear the moment people hear about them. Stories involving abuse, exploitation, SA, coercion, predatory behavior, and online communities centered around harming others understandably trigger intense emotional reactions. They should. Some subjects deserve public outrage. Some topics deserve scrutiny. Some spaces deserve exposure and consequences.Continue reading “The Danger of Inflated Numbers, The Reality of Online Abuse, And Why Accuracy Still Matters”
Philosophy Is the Load-Bearing Wall of Civilization
I am a scientist, a data person, a writer, and an artist, and because I live at the intersection of those worlds, Iâve come to believe something that a lot of people either overlook or actively dismiss, philosophy is the most important field humanity has ever developed. Not the most prestigious, not the most lucrative,Continue reading “Philosophy Is the Load-Bearing Wall of Civilization”
The Cult of Symbols and the Comfort of Meaningless Noise
We live in an age utterly saturated with symbols. Logos, flags, slogans, hashtags, color palettes, buzzwords, acronyms, chants, labels, and ideological shorthand dominate nearly every corner of public life. Everyone is drowning in them. Leftists, progressives, conservatives, liberals, libertarians, anarchists, religious folks, spiritual-but-not-religious folks, centrists, radicals, reactionaries, doomers, optimists, nihilists who swear they are notContinue reading “The Cult of Symbols and the Comfort of Meaningless Noise”
Everything Is Bullshit
Everything is bullshit. Honestly, thatâs the only way I can even begin this anymore. I wish I could sugarcoat it, or build up to it, or pretend thereâs some hopeful arc or graceful easing-in to the point, but there isnât. Because everything is bullshit. Right wing, left wing, center, capitalism, communism, socialism, fascism, antiâfascism, democrats,Continue reading “Everything Is Bullshit”
The Most âHonestâ President
Thereâs something wild about Trump â not in the usual political sense, but in how honest he is about who he is. And no, I donât mean honest as in truthful. He lies constantly. He twists facts, exaggerates, and makes up nonsense on the fly. But at the same time, heâs brutally, almost frighteningly transparent.Continue reading “The Most âHonestâ President”
The Cruel Hunger Joke: How the âWeight Loss Programâ Comment About SNAP Reveals Americaâs Deepest Prejudices
Somewhere out there â whether it was said on a podcast, a livestream, or a social media rant â someone probably did make that ugly, smug comment. The kind that sounds like satire but isnât. The kind that drips with cruelty disguised as logic. The claim that ending or pausing SNAP benefits during the 2025Continue reading “The Cruel Hunger Joke: How the âWeight Loss Programâ Comment About SNAP Reveals Americaâs Deepest Prejudices”
The Epstein Files Have Become Vaporware
So, this might sound like a doomer post. Might sound like a defeatist post. But so what. Because, reallyâat some point, we gotta face the reality of it. The Epstein files. For months now, since Trump returned to office, his administration has flat-out refused to release them. Even though, during the 2024 campaign trail, heContinue reading “The Epstein Files Have Become Vaporware”
The Progressive Case for AI: Beyond Fear and Mockery
Artificial intelligence has become a central topic of cultural, economic, and political discourse in the twenty-first century, often surrounded by polarized narratives. On one hand, the corporate and techno-optimist perspective frames AI as a miraculous solution to efficiency, productivity, and innovation. On the other hand, there exists a prevalent fear-driven narrative, particularly among leftists andContinue reading “The Progressive Case for AI: Beyond Fear and Mockery”
AI Is Here to Stay â So Learn It
Whether you like it or hate it, AI is here to stay. And if you hate it â and I mean really hate it â youâve got two choices: you can complain about it, or you can learn how to use it. You can learn how it works, how itâs built, what drives it. BecauseContinue reading “AI Is Here to Stay â So Learn It”
