Deidre Hall was on the show Hacks. As a guy I had to say "Oh cool! Electra Woman!!"

No one knew what I was talking about. I feel so alone in this world sometimes 😏

Many #GenX & #Boomer men are Republicans & some are anti-vaxxers, but a few women boomers are largely responsible for spreading #misinformation:

A small group of committed “supersharers,” predominately older R women, were responsible for the vast majority of the #fakenews in the period looked at. They promoted & shared links to vaccine hesitancy & politics-flavored fake news. 2,107 reg. US voters accounted for spreading 80% of it during the 2020 election.

My next set arrived. I've been enjoying X-Men '97. I read much of the comics the original series drew on. It's been fun watching this season that's after I stopped reading the comics.

#Retirement #GenX #News #401K

Generation X has been the alpha tester for the 401(k) retirement system, and the gloomy results are rolling in.

Nearly half of Gen Xers say their retirement savings are behind schedule.

"Many Gen Xers got a late start transitioning to 401(k) plans and struggled to catch up," Chris Ceder, a senior retirement strategist with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, told Yahoo Finance.

That’s significant as the oldest in this cohort will turn 60 next year.

The Golden Age of K-Mart

Before the days of "Super Kmarts" and "Big Ks," there was just Kmart.

The first Kmart was opened in 1962, and by the mid-1970s, we were all shopping there.

Revisit the days of Blue Light Specials, Kmart Cafeterias, and random wood-veneered merchandise scattered in aisles throughout the store.

Stick around for the musical montage featuring two unforgettable K-mart jingles complete with in-store announcements

Back in my day (class of 96), you kinda had to choose. Most kids liked them all but was your favorite band Nirvana, Soundgarden or Pearl Jam? I wouldn't have said it then but Nirvana wanted you to think they were cool. Edgy. Soundgarden just wanted to make good music. Pearl Jam was about community and purpose. Fuck Ticketmaster. #GenX

Watching with my daughter. The 90s were the peak of our civilization.

edit: I get that the kung-fu bullet time scenes are fun but before they go back in to save Morpheus, I thought we were supposed to care about the other people living their lives (even as cops, not agents).

Don't know why after a day of meetings I'm thinking about this now but did anybody else have WordPerfect on their Atari ST in 1991? 💪 🤓 :mycomputer: :atari:

How feral were Gen X kids?

Well, I taught my younger sister to jump off the second floor of the house to land in the couch below. I mean sure, just an inch off target and there's be a few broken bones. But hey we survived.

The couch didn't.

Ok, so I claim my feral badge, I think I totally earned it.

We had the entire patio to ourselves 🙂
At Brown's Social in downtown #VictoriaBC with my friend, Natalie. She's a horticulturalist, living in Deep Cove. We had some eats & drinks before going across street for PechaKucha Night VOL. 20.

They played #GenX tunes, the whole time we were there. We lucked out on getting street parking, one block away. Then lucked out on empty patio, on arrival. We had our own fire table 🥰

I have some coworkers and was telling them about how we used to take our car stereo face plates with us when we left the car back in the days when stereos weren't integrated into the dash and you wanted a nice one.

They were very amazed. So I made this meme.

Was always more a Hawaiian Punch fan.

Probably no coincidence that Fosters gained popularity around the time #GenX was reaching legal drinking age.

"I Love Rock and Roll" is chronologically closer to "Come Together" than to "Come Out and Play"

question:

In the we had a toy for making that actually had a potter’s wheel. The commercial for it had a song that went something like this:

🎶 “you take a ball of clay / you pinch it with your fingers / you put it on the wheel / and make the wheel go round!” 🎶

This is all I can remember. YouTube and Internet searches haven’t helped.

Can any of you wonderful people tell me what the name of this toy was?

Thanks!
