"Jonathan Haidt is the leader of this particular insurgency. “The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness,” his book exploring the decline of the “play-based childhood” and the rise of the “phone-based childhood,” has been on the New York Times best-seller list for a year. It feels, to me, like we’re finally figuring out a reasonable approach to smartphones and social media and kids … just in time for that approach to be deranged by the question of A.I. and kids, which no one is really prepared for."—The Ezra Klein Show

iHeart‘Our Kids Are the Least Flourishing Generation We Know Of’ - The Ezra Klein Show | iHeart<p>There’s something of a policy revolution afoot: As of March, more than a dozen states — including California, Florida and Ohio — have <a href='https://ballotpedia.org/State_policies_on_cellphone_use_in_K-12_public_schools' target='_blank'>passed bills or adopted policies</a> that aim to limit cellphone usage at school.

Dateline FERGUS FALLS

'It can be hard to make friends in America, and greater Minnesota is no exception. But [Rita] Nau has found ways. In January, the former restaurateur began baking bread and making soup for neighbors, friends and friends of friends — really, anybody who wanted to swing by her home on a Wednesday evening.'

'“I feel like we’re going into a very difficult time in our country,” Nau said. “I need to know the people in my community.”'

Toxic masculinity is really out there ruining it for everyone...

Storytime:

I was busy doing my job when two ladies came into the library. They looked like sisters and I thought they probably were.

One of them came up to ask for help locating a certain book. While I was searching the catalog, one picked up a book from the Most Wanted, "The Lies He Told Me" and waggled it towards the other who said, "Girl, I could've written that!" The women then told me they'd once been married to the same guy and were now besties.

First woman: "I'm the first wife..."

Second woman: "And I'm the third, there was one in between."

Me: "Wow, when they start to form a club..."

Them: "Yeah, there was a second, but we don't want her in our club."

I gave them their info and wished them a great day together.

"Manly" men, let's do better, ok?
