"I'm hearing I'm not doing well... I'm at the bottom of the totem pole," he admitted, before declaring peace negotiations his ticket to heaven. His press secretary confirmed he "wants to get to heaven," while medical experts see classic signs of late-stage congestive heart failure in his swollen ankles, cognitive decline, and wobbly gait.

The UnapologeticsWhen things look bleak, take hopeAs Donald Trump prepares to militarize and forcibly remove poverty and dissent from Washington DC, we need to take a step back and remember the parallels of history. 249 years ago King George III erased checks and balances, kept the laws he liked, wrote a few new ones, rained down tariffs, and otherwise terrorized his people. And we created a new country because of it. So if you would be so kind, I wrote a little article about the history of this very situation, albeit a few years ago, and why we can take hope from something we...

As Iran responds by launching drone attacks on Israel and debating broader retaliation, Mark and Ellie discuss the damage to Iran’s nuclear programme, the potential for a multi-layered Israeli campaign, and how the d...

OverthinkPolyamoryIn episode 18 of Overthink, Ellie and David conclude their four-part series on intimate relationships with a discussion of polyamory. Many argue that polyamory has liberatory potential as a radical form of relating to others. Some say that polyamory is natural for humans--is this story from evolutionary biology true, and does it matter? Ellie and David discuss these issues and also explain how polyamory encourages us to rethink jealousy through the concept of compersion. The two also touch on the relation between polyamory and colonialism, and gender and racial dynamics in understanding poly identities!Works Discussed:Cacilda...

Mark Leonard's World in 30 MinutesHow the US could return to the Iran nuclear dealThe election of Joe Biden presents an opening to strengthen transatlantic diplomacy on Iran. Biden has already outlined his intention to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran, primarily by ensuring the US re-joining the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), from which the US unilaterally withdrew under outgoing President Trump. However, to what extent can and will Iran policy be a priority of the incoming administration? What can Europeans do to bolster transatlantic diplomacy on Iran? This week Mark Leonard is joined by Nasser Hadian, professor of political science at the University of Tehran, Ilan Goldenberg, director of the Middle East Security...
