The United States has long upheld and cherished the sobriquet “land of opportunity” as a badge of honour. Yet what if the opportunity server first checks the gender of the plate before serving it? Opportunity bends and breaks along lines of privilege, and the latest labour figures reveal a stark truth: Women are once again paying the price of policy choices. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 212,000 women aged 20 and over have left the workforce since January 2025, while 44,000 men entered it. Numbers rarely lie, and here they raise a blunt question: Has America’s promise…

As a single mom of four, Chelsea Doman knew that going back to school would take more than ambition; it would take a program that truly suited her busy life. She’d built a career spanning pipeline operations, a decade of data analysis, launching a nonprofit for educational advocacy, and corporate analytics in the automotive industry. But her passion for learning persisted. “I’ve always loved learning. Stopping with my bachelor’s didn’t seem like enough,” she says. “I’ve had various points where it seemed like it was time to go back to school, but I wasn’t sure if I should do a…

In the years since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022, it’s been hard not to get swept up in feelings of euphoria or dread about the looming impacts of generative AI. This reaction has been fueled, in part, by the confident declarations of tech CEOs, who have veered toward increasingly bombastic rhetoric. “AI is starting to get better than humans at almost all intellectual tasks,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently told Anderson Cooper. He added that half of entry-level white collar jobs might be “wiped out” in the next one to five years, creating unemployment levels as high as 20%—a peak…

Something very bad happened to Agnes. It’s hinted at in the first segment of Sorry, Baby, when her best friend Lydie (Naomi Ackie) arrives for a visit, and asks Agnes (Eva Victor) if she feels comfortable having the office of their old English professor Preston Decker (Louis Cancelmi). It’s fairly easy to infer what Lydie means by this, particularly once they go for dinner at the home of their former classmate Natasha (Kelly McCormack) and she snarkily remarks that Agnes was always ​“Decker’s favourite”. Lydie politely changes the subject and gives Agnes’s leg a reassuring squeeze.There has been a deluge of films about sexual…

Rare is the day that passes during which I don’t, at least once (and usually more than once), say to myself, “Omigosh, I do wish that HL Mencken were still alive and active; he’d have a field day commenting on this particular politician or that tempest du jour.” There’s no question that if I could bring one American back to life for an evening of good food, stiff drink, and sterling conversation, that person would unquestionably be Mencken (1880-1956). Mencken was a Baltimore newspaper reporter, magazine editor, literary critic and expert on what he called “the American language.” But he…
