WHEN OLD TECH dies, it usually stays dead. No one expects rotary phones or adding machines to come crawling back from oblivion. Floppy diskettes, VHS tapes, cathode-ray tubes—they shall rest in peace. Likewise, we won’t see old analog computers in data centers anytime soon. They were monstrous beasts: difficult to program, expensive to maintain, and limited in accuracy.

“It’s going to take 18 to 24 months for things to start to stabilize." This week, the state-backed Citizen’s Property Insurance voted to move forward on a 14.2% rate increase for its 1.2 million policies. The rate request is above the statutory guidelines of 12%, indicating the pressure on the state-backed carrier. Under former Governor Rick Scott, Florida paid insurance companies to take policies off the books from Citizens to help stabilize the market and reduce exposure for the state-backed insurance carrier of last resort. Florida could start to do the same thing now; however, Governor Ron DeSantis and the legislature have not indicated that is something they are considering right now. Meanwhile, private carriers have gone before the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation requesting rate increases up to 60%.

Birds Connect Seattle. That is the new name unveiled Tuesday of the organization formerly known as the Seattle chapter of the National Audubon Society, as it severs ties from its namesake, slave owner John James Audubon. Birds Connect Seattle was the first major chapter in the national network to announce last year it would drop the Audubon name. The new name comes nearly two weeks after the National Audubon Society, the country’s leading bird conservation group, announced it would retain the name despite pressure to end its association with the enslaver whose racist legacy is well documented.

A federal judge temporarily blocked a Tennessee law restricting drag shows on Friday, the day before it was set to go into effect. U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker granted a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the law for two weeks, finding that it was “likely both vague and overly-broad.” The law, signed by Gov.

Parker agreed with Friends of George’s, the Memphis-based LGBTQ theater group contesting the law, that “this language could mean just about anywhere.”
