metaethics is too up its own ass these days, and no longer tackles the important moral questions the Great Philosophers of the past concerned themselves with

A side-to-side picture of two breakfasts. On the left, a stock image (with watermark included) of a continental breakfast, labelled as such by the text above. On the right, a perplexing grocery shelf product of perplexing bread-adjacent hexagon-y things labelled on the packaging as 'Hexagons (Flavourless)' on sale for $2.99. Above the photo the text for this side reads 'analytic breakfast'

Edit of The Irish Times headline 'Why are men still explaining things' in the Life & Style section of the website, ever-so-cleverly switching the topic from mansplaining in the original to philosopher-of-science-splaining. The edited headline reads: "Why are [philosophers] still explaining things?" Below the headline: "[IBE] illuminates a much deeper problem than the bore of patronising monologues. Below, an edited version of the original illustration with a man tagged as 'Realist philosopher' obscuring a woman's face (the woman is tagged as 'Working scientist') with his speech bubble that contains the message 'IBE IBE IBE IBE IBE IBE IBE' with some of the IBE word-tokens being slightly if funkily rotated around or variant in size inside the bubble [some context: 'IBE' is a commonly used abbreviation for 'Inference to the Best Explanation']

Fuck UFOs, I wanna know did we ever find out what they put glitter in
Snippet from 2018 NYT article 'What is Glitter'. Text reads: "Oh, God, yes," she said, and laughed. "And you would never guess it. Let's just leave it at that." I asked if she could tell me why she couldn't tell me. "Because they don't want anyone to know that it's glitter." "If I looked at it, I wouldn't know it was glitter?" "No, not really." "Would I be able to see the glitter?" "Oh, you'd be able to see something. But it's - yeah, I can't." I asked if she would tell me off the record. She would not. I asked if she would tell me off the record after this piece was published. She would not. I told her I couldn't die without knowing. She guided me to the automotive grade pigments.
