Glory is legit
Podcast description for Grandmother Podcast This week we're joined by Amelia Elliot and her grandmother (Go-Go), Glory Missan. Glory grew up in the same apartment building as the New York Yankee Players in the 1940s, her mother was one of the original Radio City Rockettes, and was an early adopter of trancendental meditation. She's remained in New York City throughout her life and she's a true NEW YORKAH at heart. Enjoy!

Why are we citing Kevin, the real estate agent, as an expert!
Such fears aren't unfounded, according to Kevin Dalton, a real estate agent at Compass, who explained that the conversion of single and two-family homes into units holding up to as many as 34 people can lead to a significantly higher rent roll - and increase rent in the area.

Diagram in which red dots stand for places where surviving planes were shot. This only tells you where planes can get shot and still come back to base. Survivorship bias: your only information is what has survived.

Fixing this would be a great start (intro is bouncing around my early 30s female group chats) www.nytimes.com/article/seri...
After hearing the first season of "The Retrievals," a podcast that explored how women's pain is often minimized and dismissed, hundreds of listeners wrote to the host, Susan Burton, to share their own stories of inadequately treated pain. Some of the most shocking emails were from listeners who said they "felt everything" during their C-sections: a scalpel cutting through flesh; an organ being moved around. Cutting someone's body open and operating when they can feel it: That is not supposed to happen. That's something from history or from war. Significant pain during a C-section can't be something that 100,000 women experience each year. Can it?

The article is more cringeworthy than I could imagine.
The 202 guests - including plant-based nonprofit employees, hedge fund managers, alternative-protein-focused venture capitalists and political consultants - were invited to participate in "community-building breakout sessions," as they called them, which included salsa lessons, improv, a storytelling workshop and board games. The drizzly weather cleared in time for the ceremony portion of what they called "a learning wedding." After a guided meditation and a pause for Ms. Atcheson's introductory speech, the couple exchanged their vows. Mr. McElwee promised to "keep building together" and made several references to the bride's preternatural ability to connect others. Guests were instructed to fill out a questionnaire before the wedding and were sent a spreadsheet listing the other guests and their LinkedIn profiles. A plant-based catering company, Jam Cakery Events, provided food for the BYOB reception, and in place of gifts, the couple requested that every guest write them a one-page letter in advance. The letters were compiled into a notebook to be read and enjoyed on their honeymoon.

journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... you’re welcome!
Results show that employed men in traditional marriages tend to (a) view the presence of women in the workplace unfavorably, (b) perceive that organizations with higher numbers of female employees are operating less smoothly, (c) perceive organizations with female leaders as relatively unattractive, and (d) deny qualified female employees opportunities for promotions more frequently than do other married male employees. Moreover, our final study suggests that men who are single and then marry women who are not employed may change their attitudes toward women in the workplace, becoming less positive. The consistent pattern of results across multiple studies employing multiple methods (lab, longitudinal, archival) and samples (U.S., U.K., undergraduates, managers) demonstrates the robustness of our findings that the structure of a man's marriage influences his gender ideology in the workplace, present an mportant challenge to workplace egalitarianism.

He’s not even describing the views of Carmel, Indiana accurately!
Indianapolis City-County Councilor Nick Roberts, a Democrat, said the result of the election was "genuinely devastating" but praised Harris, saying she "ran an incredible campaign" in a tight window. He also pointed out that Harris carried the majority of precincts in suburban Carmel, signaling future potential for Democrats in the Indianapolis suburbs.
