"While the report is based on conjecture and hypothetical reasoning, it does hold significant importance as it stereotypically feeds into the perception that life in, especially the Nordic countries, is better." - writes Emilie Schäfferling

"With debates still raging over cancel culture and the potential excesses of social justice, many journalists now count their blessings under Substack’s spacious umbrella. But, sometimes, personal gains don’t translate to broader social benefits."

"Such evidence reminds us that marriage remains one of the few stable life rafts capable of weathering the rapid changes wrought by modernity." - @ariblaff for @DeseretNews

[Speakeasy @Spkesy_]

"The striking fact that American couples rank 'guest experience' and budgeting among the top priorities at the start of a marriage demonstrates how divorced we have become to the spiritual and religious foundations of the occasion."

Our editor @ariblaff for @DeseretNews.

[Deseret News @Deseret]

"We have sold younger generations an uninspired and stunted version of marriage. One driven by the pragmatism for tax loopholes rather than imbued with the language of fidelity and loyalty," @ariblaff writes for @DNewsOpinion.

"Research findings on public perceptions of AI provide mixed results. It seems attitudes vary across individuals and contexts. Today, many researchers are studying factors that predict trust in AI, and ways to enhance positive perceptions of this technology."

"We’re okay with giving up the “optimal” decision if it means saving cognitive time and effort by accepting the first alternative that meets our needs. And naïve or not, I find the human pursuit of what is enough quite endearing." writes @ManeYakoubian

What an amazing reading by @RBlaff - I wish I wrote this piece!

[Mane Kara-Yakoubian @ManeYakoubian]

“He says it’s a perfect example of the kind of people Ruthe and Reuben were, and their shared life philosophy: ‘You can never go wrong on right street.’”

wonderful piece by @RBlaff

Some are lucky enough to spend a small portion of their lives with their grandparents. Speakeasy's Reuben Blaff was not so fortunate. In his new piece, he chronicles the lives of the Bubbie and Zaydie he didn't get a chance to meet.

“We have left boys and men exposed to the toxicity of online radicalization through our failure to carve out an appropriate social space in which they can express themselves” & address the real challenges facing men today. @ariblaff @FamStudies https://t.co/6u4T3oWlko

[Ari David Blaff @ariblaff]

Men so desperately need a constructive avenue to think and speaking about issues that affect them.

Unfortunately, we still lack an organization or movement for thoughtful advocacy -
