Brooks: What our toxic culture is doing to younger generations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:44:21 GMT

In the early 1960s, typical Americans were eager to get on with adult life. As soon as they could, they married, launched careers and started popping out kids. In those days, half of all women married before their 20th birthday.Then the boomers came of age. Typical members of that generation wanted to enjoy their freedom, so many put off marriage and parenting until their late 20s or their 30s. They adopted what some researchers call the “slow life strategy,” postponing the common milestones of adulthood until later in life.As psychologist Jean Twenge shows in her lavishly informative new book, “Generations,” the members of Gen Z are now practicing the slow life strategy with a vengeance.They have already transformed adolescence. Members of Gen Z are, for example, content to get their driver’s licenses later than earlier generations. As high school seniors, they are less likely to do the things associated with adulthood and independence, like drinking alcohol, working for pay or hav...

King Charles III crowned in ancient rite at uncertain moment

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:44:21 GMT

LONDON (AP) — King Charles III was crowned Saturday at Westminster Abbey, in a ceremony built on ancient traditions at a time when the British monarchy faces an uncertain future.Trumpets sounded inside the medieval abbey and the congregation shouted “God save King Charles” as the ceremony began in front of more than 2,000 guests, including world leaders, aristocrats and celebrities. Outside, thousands of troops, tens of thousands of spectators and a smattering of protesters converged along a route that the king traveled from Buckingham Palace in a gilt-trimmed, horse-drawn carriage. It was the final mile of a seven-decade journey for Charles from heir to monarch.To the royal family and government, the occasion — code-named Operation Golden Orb — is a display of heritage, tradition and spectacle unmatched around the world. The rite was expected to by watched by millions, though the awe and reverence the ceremony was designed to evoke are largely gone — and many greeted the day with a...

Bob Raissman: Brian Cashman forced to start selling hope as his battered Yankees sink in standings

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:44:21 GMT

The effectiveness of Brian Cashman’s afternoon attempt to sell hope to the pinstriped masses, during a Stadium chat with notebooks and cameras, will ultimately be decided on the field and in a doctor’s office.Like most baseball impresarios, Cashman knows even if the stage is collapsing, the show must go on. No grand revelation there. Cashman must have realized the Knicks playoff run and the coming of high-profile Aaron Rodgers couldn’t provide cover for the Bombers inept play.“Don’t count us out,” Cashman, while selling inspiration too, told the assembled media seals. “Don’t give up on us …. It’s a championship-caliber operation.”The GM, in the first year of a four-year contract extension, also is the de facto producer, director, casting agent, promoter, of this Bombers production. A production that falls under the creative auspices of the Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network.If the product YES is “selling...
