X Marks the Spot

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.
