FACT: Every time Claude uses the word "genuinely" a penguin slides off a melting ice floe into the maw of a half-starved polar bear.

What immediately stood out to me was that the headline itself validates the assertion that there is a "fertility crisis."
The article never challenges or even interrogates that assertion, which is foundational to the whole piece.
An interrogative piece would ask:
🤨 A crisis for whom?
🤨 By whose metrics?
🤨 Compared to what baseline, and why is that baseline the right one?
🤨 Who benefits from framing this as a crisis?

[WSJ] He Earns $33 an Hour as a Costco Cashier. Now He’s a Millionaire.
❝Long-tenured workers like Barzar are Costco’s secret weapon. They are reliable and experienced, able to speed shoppers through a checkout line and serve as mentors to newer workers, passing down the company’s unique culture, Costco executives say.
Barzar’s pay and benefits reflect his value to the company. He earns $32.90 an hour, and the holdings in his 401(k) have boosted his retirement savings to over $1 million, he said. His Costco-sponsored healthcare has a regular visit co-pay of $15, and a specialty visit co-pay of $25, well below the national average. In 2009, Barzar’s family bought a three-bedroom, two-bath house with a pool, and they have been able to travel to Europe twice over the past decade.❞

Well, when the FIFA Peace Prize winner does it … that means that it is not unethical 🙃
[NYTimes] Trump Asked FIFA to Review U.S. Player’s Suspension. Now He’s Eligible to Play.
"The reversal of Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension is highly unusual. It was the first time since 1962 that FIFA has nullified a suspension for a red card received during the World Cup."
❝President Trump called Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, on Wednesday and asked him to review the suspension of the United States’ top goal scorer, Folarin Balogun, after he was given a red card in the team’s match that night against Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to three people familiar with the conversation.
On Sunday, FIFA reversed the suspension, announcing that Mr. Balogun would be eligible to play Monday against Belgium.❞

Twenty years ago today I was a newspaper reporter at Johnson Space Center in Houston covering the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery for NASA's second return-to-flight test mission following the Columbia disaster.
The crew included future U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and future felon Lisa Nowak, who achieved pop culture infamy for her heel turn as the vengeful woman scorned in a dramatic astronaut love triangle.
At some point during that July Fourth, I found myself at a bar grabbing a bite to eat and watching the Nathan's Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest taking place at Coney Island, Brooklyn. The contest's emcee was channeling his inner carnival barker, wearing a straw boater hat, and had an improbably familiar voice — turned out to be a guy I'd played ice hockey and went to school with while growing up in Southern Indiana. In the intervening years we'd also randomly bumped into each other on Seventh Avenue in Manhattan in one of life's random "it's a small world" moments.

the great thing about making longterm predictions is that you'll be dead and gone before you ever have to eat crow
