I wonder how much (of) the notion presented in this piece does not sit well with people and what is behind that unease. thefulcrum.us/bridging-com...

And people wonder why I think that we actually need to focus on helping young men navigate the world these days. Well, here's a very good reason to send some resources in that direction (namely, we need to prevent this from getting worse). jacobin.com/2024/01/life...

This video from Technology Connections makes a point about #bluesky being a more manual experience. I think he's partially right on this one. Thoughts? youtu.be/QEJpZjg8GuA?...

Clearly I missed some things while on vacation. (On the other hand, a bit of a break may be needed, considering fact checking will likely be a busier than normal activity this year.)

Replication should be done, but I do find this study to be rather useful in showing how certain subgroups of men are at greater suicide risk. Likewise, the distinction of traditional gender roles is appreciated. medicalxpress.com/news/2024-11...
