"54% of #GenZ and #Millennials visited a physical library within the previous 12 months…More than half who self-reported visiting a physical library said they also borrow from a library’s digital collection…Survey respondents read and bought on average twice as many print books per month as any other category."
The Tory Party is now so unpopular with young people they assume any young person who does express an interest in supporting them must be trying to infiltrate them
I have some #GenZ 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.
Kiddo was complaining about difficulties #dating and meeting people in this era and that #GenX had it way easier. She bemoaned playing the dating app game; told me how much harder it is for #GenZ.
So, I told her about Personals Ads and how you’d get a bunch of letters with or without photos in response to your ad and you’d then have to respond with a letter or a phone call to those you wanted to meet. It took time to get a date that way!
She decided our analog dating program was much worse. 😏
Just moved to a new server, so thought I should do a re-introduction.
👋 Hi, I’m Benjamin and I’m a huge #Swiftie, a #tech geek, and I can be a bit of a weirdo sometimes.
I tend to post about #Microsoft and #Google plus my own tech finds, #ui#design, random shenanigans from my own life, or anything else I find interesting.
I posted this in a thread but reposting this educational video from #GenZ for Change drawing comparisons between #fascism in 1930’s Nazi Germany and modern day #America, which also applies to #Canada, and now the #UK.

John T. Kurz, owner of Waterloo Records in Austin, says that his used CD sales have remained consistent, even as his new CD sales wobbled during the rise of streaming.
The desperation of the #GOP is on full display with low-polling Vivek #Ramaswamy basically saying, “We’re gonna get our asses handed to us if we don’t prevent #GenZ from voting.”
"The point here is not to berate or celebrate anyone. I'm simply and sincerely interested in learning what's changed in American [#teenagers' behavior and attitudes since the 1990s]. And the answer is—a lot. If you're a marketer, you probably know this—but if you're a [#college] instructor, you probably don't." –@profmusgrave
Some insider ⚾️: AOC sent Biden her best, they convinced him to get on #TikTok and in 24 hours my favourite #GenZ chaos muppets let him know the score. He released he was vetoing the #ceasefie yesterday and 24 hours later is now proposing one.
You seldom see strong fashion stories on @medium (a shame IMO, because we all wear clothes and they say so much about us). But the young Medium writer Jee Young Park show how well they can work in this story that defends the controversial 2024 MetGala by showing how much she valued the museum as a Korean-American growing up in New Jersey:
today's #SCOTUS decision is dictatorship-by-law but without republicans’ dream unitary executive. all they need is a secessionist, neoconfederate POTUS and the coup is complete.
so, no: voting against Trump in november isn't all there is to it. the popular vote doesn’t elect a POTUS.
strategic votes in the right ELECTORAL COLLEGE PRECINTS get a president elected.
it's how republicans, who have controlled the Supreme Court since Reagan, have used SCOTUS & the EC to steal elections.
VOTER SUPPRESSION
of Black & PoC isn't the only #2024Elections issue
VOTER SUPPRESSION OF YOUNG VOTERS
is the biggest issue come November
#Zillennials, young Millennials and all of GenZ are browner and blacker and more radicalised against USA’s cryptofascist mainstream politics than all previous generations.
Pew even found white christofascist Gen Zers will vote against Trump and Republicans on issues like climate change.
#GenZ VOTER SUPPRESSION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTORAL ISSUE OF 2024
