I turn 40 next March, so I'm at the age where I'm relatively often asked when I'll have kids. I'm childless because of my choices, and I'm happy this wayI say I'm not childless by choice, but I'm happily childless by the choices I've made in life. AdvertisementJodie Humphries is child-free and wishes people would stop telling people she'll regret not having kids. Courtesy of Jodie HumphriesI don't think people should assume women will regret not having kidsThose same older female relatives will say I'll regret not having my own children. Having kids isn't a duty I need to fulfill as a woman; it should be a decision made thoughtfully and wholeheartedly.

And an expert in political violence and terrorism is worried the worst is yet to come. The justification of political violence online is getting worse, too, with increasingly high-profile people laughing off violent incidents. Plenty of such data exists about Trump's rhetoric, Pape noted, and he said there is no doubt that "incendiary political rhetoric increases support for political violence." "What you're seeing is real-world violence reflecting this significant rhetorical support for political violence on both the right and the left," Pape said. "There is an incentive to do what we know stokes support for political violence.

Ben Higgins tried to parlay his Bachelor success into a political career, but the campaign didn't last long. The focus on Bachelor Nation also makes sense given the franchise's viewership is dominated by one of the most crucial swing votes of recent elections: white women. In the past two presidential elections, white women were the most closely split demographic subgroup tracked by major exit polls. In 2016, Donald Trump won over 52% of white women against Hillary Clinton's 43%, exit polls found, while Trump bested Joe Biden in 2020 among white women 55% to 44%. The overlap between the swingiest demographic and the "Bachelor" audience suggests Bachelor Nation has value to those who seek to lead our nation.

☆ How data-security posture management could make your cloud systems less vulnerable
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-17 | by ( Erica Sweeney | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Companies can face data-security challenges with cloud storage and access management. Dan Benjamin, the senior director of product management at Prisma Cloud, a cloud-security platform made by Palo Alto Networks, said that incorporating data-security posture management into cybersecurity strategies could help solve many of these problems. This is crucial, as an IBM report published in 2023 estimated that 82% of data breaches involved data stored in the cloud. Organizations also often use several cloud systems and sometimes lack a solid security strategy for maintaining, updating, and securing data. Liat Hayun, the vice president of product management and research of cloud security at the cybersecurity company Tenable, said cloud environments' flexibility makes them attractive to companies.
