Generational politics and culture aren’t exactly useful in doing the kind of high-level thinking about the world that we need. There are a few people, however, who become a particular Type of Guy because they were born between two arbitrarily chosen dates and because they embrace the clichés about their generation. Cline is one of them, so are Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino, Patton Oswalt and Harry Knowles. The Generation X Nerd Auteur type of guy. There are millennial and zoomer nerds, and even the Boomer nerds who established what it meant to be nerdy at the early Star Trek conventions where they created fanfic and cosplay. But the Gen-X Nerds stand out for coming of age at a time when being a dork was still meaningful and for having amassed incalculable cultural power. | |

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves told the media this week, “I do think it's really important that the City of Jackson start collecting their water bill payments before they start going and asking everyone else to pony up more money."
As the governor gave that lecture on March 3 in his state’s capital city, thousands of homes near where he sat in Jackson were without even non-potable water to flush their toilets, and not a single home in the city limits had access to safe drinking water we could use without boiling first. | |

The Utah House of Representatives on Thursday approved a bill that would require cell phones and tablets sold in the Beehive State to contain filters to block pornographic material from reaching a user’s eyes. The bill had previously been approved by the state senate.
The measure, HB72, applies to “smart phones activated in the state on or after January 1 of the year following the year this bill takes effect.” However, it doesn’t truly kick in until five other states pass similar measures.
(ed: article doesn't mention it but this bill is based on a proposal by computer-marrying-connoisseur Chris Sevier) | |

Itlooks like a parody, and a rather dark one at that: The Fisher-Price My Home Office play set includes a fake laptop, headset, latte cup, pretend phone, and “4 fabric ‘apps’ that attach to computer screen to ‘work’ on different projects.” It’s intended for preschoolers, ages three and up. The obvious takeaway: Once upon a time, children might pretend to be an astronaut or a superhero before the educational system disabused them of all their dreams. Now, apparently, a toy inspired by the Covid-19 remote-work boom, which has converted so many homes into offices and schools, will teach them to just skip ahead and start fantasizing about a soul-draining life of Slack banter and Zoom meetings. | |
