  • multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior

    Yeesh. Despite what people tell you, I’m not jumping on some “cancelled” bandwagon. Instead, I’m reacting to his obviously gross behavior. Even giving him the benefit of the doubt:

    • He admitted he had (again, multiple) inappropriate relationships with students. I would also argue these involved a power disparity…
    • multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior
    • He settled these cases, paying out millions to the accusers
    • Apparently, good guy Seth Rogan wants nothing to do with him

    Obviously, we’ll probably never know anything for sure, but the choices he made, the dishonestly he’s shown, and the lack of contrition… I just don’t think I’d enjoy anything he’s in.








  • Dr. Kristensen talks with his mother about these generational patterns. “The biggest difference, watching her narrative and my narrative, my feeling is that these things should be in order first”

    I think this is huge. Personally, I’m not financially stable. I rent. I love my job, but my company is enshittifying, so I’m overworked and underpaid more and more. A $2,000 “home child care equalization credit” isn’t going to incentivize me to have a kid. Even the South Korean company-equivalent $153,000 probably wouldn’t. It’s a nice chunk of change, but it’s also a one-time token bonus to accept the responsibility of raising a child in a world where everything is constantly getting worse and more expensive. And I still can’t get past that impulse to do things in the “correct” order: I need to own a home outright or with an affordable mortgage. My financial and professional futures need to not just be stable, but promising, and the world I bring a child into needs to not feel like it’s crumbling into a dystopia…
