Cowboys' Dak Prescott Confirms Sarah Jane Ramos Split in Custody Filing https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/onsi/news/dallas-cowboys-dak-prescott-confirms-sarah-jane-ramos-split-custody-filing
I spend a lot of time being worried or angry or annoyed at the way that generative ai fervor is undermining our ecosystems (environmental, cultural, epistemic, digital, etc).
But right now I'm just feeling mournful. Seeing project after project, institution after institution run enthusiastically into a future where we boil our oceans to better insulate ourselves from one another is ... tragic.

I am glad for this article. I have seen the decrease in young men coming to post-secondary in anything other than in trades. This is dangerous for society.
Add in the rise of the 'manosphere' and you have an incredibly toxic, anti-education push, that is directed squarely at men and is very often supported by government itself!
We must continue making progress to tear down patriarchy, and mysogyny. But that cannot mean we tear down boys, and the men they become. We have to replace the systems that we tear down with systems that are welcoming and support the development of all children and part of that is recognizing that right now, young boys in grade school are suffering.
