Our new paper finds full-time working mothers reported smaller stress increases following the COVID-19 outbreak than women with most other mothering and employment statuses.

I've been covering bad parts of the internet for long time now. For years, there was one site extremist researchers warned me not to cover because publicizing it would be dangerous. But it's time people know KiwiFarms—and how they're chasing political enemies around the world.

The average American now spends just less than half their years between age 15 and 75 married -- down from 70% for men and 64% for women in 1960.

The US marriage rate has fallen 65% in the last 50 years. The number of people marrying in 2021 was a million less than the peak in 1984.

Teens who meet up with their friends 'almost every day' is down from 50% in the 90s to 25% today. Falls off a cliff around 2010, alongside the rise of smartphones and social media.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/75e5e3d… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

I replicated this (my screenshot below). Really great example of gender bias, for those of you who need a canonical example to make the point.

Less transparency on social media = more disinformation. It's harder for researchers to fight it. We need to teach people how to spot disinformation tactics. New oped by R Gordon Rinderknecht ⬇️ thehill.com/opinion/techno…
