Someone said: “One of the great innovations of the 1990s and 2000s was that sociopaths learned how to domesticate nerds.” I’d add that they were also weaponized by tech bros to create their tools of authoritarian surveillance and control, and by the political right into an army of online trolls.

I’m at the age where I’ll hear Aerosmith in a restaurant and think, “Hell yeah! My mom loves this band!” Then I’ll notice a middle aged woman with her kids and think, “Bet she knows what I’m talking about.” Then I realize she’s not my mom’s age; she’s MY age and may not know what I’m talking about.
