X Marks the Spot

About this episode

The episode reviews insights from the Mather Institute's Gen X report and discusses the implications of ongoing cultural issues related to women's rights and workplace dynamics.

This week, the Drs review major "a ha" moments from the Mather Institute's Gen X report -- what it reveals about workplace loneliness, generational expectations, and AI usage. Then, they pivot to the ongoing culture war fallout: DOGE bros deposition, the growing precarity of violence against women services, and the U.S. withholding a U.N. vote to support women.   Mentioned in the show THE GEN XPERIENCE A FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY INTO THE LIVES OF GENERATION X – The Mather Institute Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation 2023 – Surgeon General’s Office Major Update in our NEH Lawsuit – American Historical Association When DOGE Unleashed ChatGPT on the Humanities - NYT Commission on the Status of Women Seventieth session 9-19 March 2026 – UN Women Only US Votes Against Women’s Rights Document at UN Commission – Health Policy Watch Why supporting a shelter for women is now 'kind of radioactive' - NPR
