For folks who'd "love to" let their kids walk/play outside, but "times have changed."
Yup: "Murder rates for 2023 are down by almost 13%, 1 of the largest ever annual declines...w/ violent crime falling to one of the lowest rates in more than 50 years."

If you think humans need to be seen as somehow MORE HUMAN in order to stop their killing, you really need to rethink who you are, and how you inhabit this world.

Add: Israel knew and didn't care. I'm really not buying this whole "Oh, the silly boys just weren't thinking" bullshit.
Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan more than a year before the Oct. 7 attack but dismissed it as aspirational, documents show.

Again, exceptions are bullshit in actual practice. They *do not work* AND they enshrine stigma and the hierarchy of deservedness. Just say NO to exceptions. Abortions for all- as early as possible and as late as necessary.

On race and scholarship: I recall one scholar trying to persuade me to include some of the personal details I'd inserted in a draft. I removed them anyway -- but POCs and other "minorities" are constantly told they can't theorise, they can only recount lived experience.

If I had to chose between ending inheritance tax and ending child hunger, I'd chose to end child hunger. I'm old fashioned like that.

To recap: OpenAI dumps the women from its board & brings on the guy fired from Harvard for sexist remark, appointed under interim CEO who said "40-60% of women seem to have rape/non-consent fantasies," all while bringing back the CEO whose sister accused him of sexual assault.

So frustrating to be telling people for years: “It’s the enforced loneliness of our hyper-competitive, bullying, dominance-based culture of masculinity that dramatically reduces men’s life expectancy” and still have this “it’s troubling” head scratching. cnn.com/2023/06/19/health/lo…
