Third Continental Congress

An informal, citizen-led term used by some organizers to describe a voluntary movement advocating for direct democracy in the United States, particularly referencing the 23 states with active ballot initiative or referendum processes; inspired by the historic Continental Congress and used symbolically to encourage broader civic participation. Not an official government body and holds no legal or legislative authority.
During the historic 250th anniversary of the United States, 23 states allow direct democracy through citizen-initiated ballot measures, and some scholars and activists may refer to this coalition as a modern ‘Third Continental Congress’—a symbolic term for a citizen-led movement calling on other states to join.

ICBM: Inter-Continental Bowel Movement

Taking a shit on an inter-Continental flight.

FYI: Use with caution, since "ICBM "is also the acronym for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile.

Less than confident

A youngster, lacking any knowledge on a subject, yet still promoting the idea.
There performances have little to sway the opinion, Connecticut civilians are less than confident.

The application of Critical Theory to the continental tradition in philosophy—examining its assumptions, its methods, its relationship to power, and its potential for liberation. Critical Theory of Continental Philosophy asks: How has continental philosophy engaged with history, politics, and power? How has it been shaped by its European context? What are its blind spots? How might it be transformed by dialogue with other traditions? It doesn't celebrate uncritically but insists that continental philosophy's strengths—its attention to history, power, and embodiment—must be combined with self-critique and openness to other voices.
"Continental philosophy is just obscurantism, they say. Critical Theory of Continental Philosophy asks: obscurantist by whose standards? The tradition engages questions analytic philosophy ignores—power, history, embodiment. That doesn't make it wrong; it makes it different. Critical theory insists on asking: what can we learn from this tradition, and what are its own blind spots?"
