My other blogs
I've blogged in many different places. Here are some of them:
I'm very proud of War or Car, where I posted a new thing you could buy for the price of the Iraq War everyday, for 121 days. This was during the 2008 elections, and I was glad that the antiwar candidate won. The site got its name because you could buy every American household a Toyota Prius for the $3 trillion price of the war. Or you could buy the Irish their annual beer intake, in Guinness, for a millennium. Or you could buy all the world's pandas their own personal stealth bombers!
Probably my greatest era of internet awesomeness was guestblogging for Ezra Klein long before he achieved his current superstardom at Vox. My posts there are pretty scattered, so they'll be hard to find. My work for Ezra catapulted me into other opportunities like filling in for Kevin Drum at the Washington Monthly. After that from 2008 to 2015, my friend Nick Beaudrot and I wrote a blog called Donkeylicious. As the name suggests, it was largely about Democratic politics.
During the 2012 elections, I created a little blog called VoteSeeing that tabulated election predictions and graded predictors on how well they did. The folks at Daily Kos Elections won the prediction contest, with Nate Silver and FiveThirtyEight a close second. Shortly afterward, a group of philosophers at a blog called NewAPPS got me to put up a few posts for them.
This post at the Philosophers' Cocoon has more about my job at the National University of Singapore, where I'm a philosophy professor.

It's always (or, at least, for a few years) mildly irritated me that as cool an animal as an elephant has been coopted by a political party I oppose. I mean, we get the frickin' donkey, while they get this big awesome thing with a nose-tentacle and tusks and stuff.
I couldn't agree, more, Julian. After doing a term paper about ivory poaching in high school, I got really interested in elephants. Over the past zillion years or so, I've both purchased and been given lots of elephant stuff. Whenever I wear one of my elephant pins, particularly when I don't think about it around an elction time, someone always assumes I'm a Republican. Makes me crazy. Does anyone know how those symbols were chosen?
Scroll down a little bit and under 'symbols', you'll see the Wikipedia explanation. One other piece of the story I'd heard was that somebody depicted pre-Civil-War Democrat Lewis Cass with the letter C and an ass.
I'm happy with the donkey. It's a friendly, underdoggish, working-class animal.
