In ancient Athens, citizens—free adult men—would gather in the assembly, thousands at a time. At the peak of Athenian democracy, in the fourth and fifth century BCE, every citizen had the right to speak in this legislature on issues of the state, which ranged from finances to military matters and even the impeachment of generals. After these discussions, they could vote on final decisions, either with a show of hands or by secret ballot. In this popular image of Athenian direct democracy, we of

Political memes are one of the few things that make keeping up with this whole charade worth it. But now, legislators are fighting back. Recently, the Texas House passed a bill that would criminalize using altered media like memes without disclosure in political ads. Earlier this year, former House Speaker Dade Phelan (R) introduced HB 366, which requires political ads to disclose when they use content that “did not occur in reality.” This altered media includes images, audio, video, and AI-gen

This series looks at research from years past. I survey a handful of books and articles in a particular year from math, economics, philosophy, international relations, and other interesting topics. This project was inspired by my retrospective on Foreign Affairs' first issue from September 1922.

On paper, Netflix’s new sci-fi anime, Moonrise, is anime catnip to old and new generations of anime fans as a dream collaboration too significant to fail, even if the platform faltered in promoting it before its release. Directed by Masashi Koizuka of Wit Studio (Attack on Titan), featuring character designs by Hiromu Arakawa of Fullmetal Alchemist fame, and scripted by Tow Ubukata (Fafner in the Azure), the series promised a space opera evoking the essence of Star Wars and Space Battleship Yama

For what it is worth, all of the reporting done by Ars over the last nine months suggests the decision to return Wilmore and Williams this spring was driven by technical reasons and NASA's needs on board the International Space Station, rather than because of politics. Q. How do you feel about waking up and finding yourself in a political storm? Wilmore: I can tell you at the outset, all of us have the utmost respect for Mr. Musk, and obviously, respect and admiration for our president of the

While several of Google’s rivals, including OpenAI, have tweaked their AI chatbots to discuss politically sensitive subjects in recent months, Google appears to be embracing a more conservative approach. When asked to answer certain political questions, Google’s AI-powered chatbot, Gemini, often says it “can’t help with responses on elections and political figures right now,” TechCrunch’s testing found. Other chatbots, including Anthropic’s Claude, Meta’s Meta AI, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT consisten

Previous research demonstrates that local conditions are highly visible and proximate for citizens and thus have a distinct impact on political attitude formation. However, we still lack knowledge of the interplay of the local and the individual level. In this study, we examine how a specific group (economically deprived individuals) responds to local social spending in the formation of political dissatisfaction. Research at the national level has provided contradictory findings concerning the i
