In other words, advertisers really don’t want controversy and drama.

Adam Sandler, surely.

Honorable mention for Gilbert Gottfried's annoying voice.

Traditional gender roles aren't even that traditional. It wasn't until after the second world war that some western families (still only some) could afford to raise a family on one income. In the 1920s, women, children, and men all worked. And we're getting back to that now.

So, it does seem like a fair question to ask. If everyone in the family (at least all adults) are fully employed, is it fair that only one of them does the cooking and cleaning? Probably not.

Having said that, most relationships are probably already a lot more equitable than you'd be lead to believe. Husbands and wives do roughly equal amounts of work.

So, basically, it's a complete and 1:1 replacement for most regular journalism.

This is probably one thing that Bluesky does well -- you have the option (and are encouraged) to use your own domain name as a username, and you can do so without having to run an instance.

That's probably true, and for that matter, even if you imagine a truly colorblind society exists for the next 100 years, it seems likely that inherited wealth and privilege would still be passed down.

Having said that, AA was not a very good remedy. It laser focused on only one thing, sometimes disregarding a clear reality. In an extreme example, if you took someone like David Steward's kids, they would benefit from affirmative action despite being born to a billionaire.

Keep in mind, colleges and universities can still provide all the advantages they want based on other signals. Good ones might be family income and first-generation college students.

Is Crypto Dead? (www.theatlantic.com)
 

It is definitely down, written off by thousands of individual and institutional investors. The most obvious issue: scams. In the world of crypto, big firms are scams. Little firms are scams. Stable coins are scams; exchanges are scams; NFT schemes are scams; initial coin offerings are scams; tokens are scams. Firms run by self-proclaimed altruists are scams. Firms run by the shadiest dudes you can possibly imagine are scams.
