Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

Then you look at surveys that suggests that Gen Z is far less likely than Boomers to marry and you go, "Gosh, I wonder why!"

Message from the White House: As we create an environmental disaster and douse a civilian population with "black rain" after killing girls in a school, we would like to wish all of you a happy international women's day.

It turns out the U.S. did a β€œdouble tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles β€œSonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

Wait, do you mean the very people who were instrumental in supporting President Trump are now admitting publicly they were wrong?

I'll look for the "I was wrong" language later today!

I did something pretty cool today.

Those of you who know me can guess what it might be.

Suffice to say, I came in 3rd, which I'm totally happy with because I wasn't 1 of 3 people being chased by a serial killer.

New York considers bill that would ban chatbots from giving legal, medical advice | StateScoop A bill under consideration in New York would provide a private right of action, allowing people to file lawsuits against chatbot owners who violate the law.

The latest NY chatbot bill would bar chatbots from conveying information that could fall within the scope of a licensed profession.

It’s basically a censorship bill disguised as licensure protection.
