This isn’t just an Ontario story. Rumors are that Yazdani was fired for her reporting. Rogers isn’t known for standing with their journalists, so a firing due to political pressure seems possible.

Or the AI on shopping websites saying “I’d recommend this model…”
We don’t have a pronoun for “this non-human unit”. LLMs are marketed as conversational, so they need to conform to the limitations of English.
One could argue that “we” or “one” would be more appropriate, but that would sound stilted in many contexts.
I’d prefer linguistic markers to distinguish between people and machines, but we haven’t gotten there yet.

I really think removing downvotes or requiring the downvoter to explain the downvote would make communities better.

Lemmynsfw solved this by disabling downvotes. I don’t think memes were a problem there.
An alternative is strong moderation to keep off-topic comments and posts out.

The myth of homeownership as an investment is wreaking untold damage
The truth is that homes deliver enormous non‑financial value — stability, community, belonging. Those are reasons to buy. But as financial assets, they come with structural constraints: They are expensive to maintain, difficult to trade, impossible to diversify, and usually purchased with significant leverage. The investment component is real but volatile, and its return path can be long and uneven. For home buyers now facing losses, this is not an individualized failure. It is the predictable outcome of society promoting an undiversified, illiquid, highly leveraged asset as if it were the ultimate life goal.

Everything you said is spot on.
I had kids older. I don’t agree with OPs advice for not having kids in your twenties. I’d argue a planned pregnancy in your twenties is the way to go.
