Nepal’s angry Gen Z protesters toppled a government, forcing India and China to rethink how they engage with a generation demanding jobs, accountability and an end to corruption. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/17/world/nepals-new-power-brokers-should-worry-china-and-india/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #nepal #india #china #genz #democracy
Young people across Asia are furious. But burned buildings and trashed department stores can't be the endgame. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/11/world/gen-z-protesters-challenge-asias-old-guard/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #genz #nepal #indonesia #srilanka #bangladesh #asia
I apologize for the ABBA music, that's modern social media for you. But here's a drone shot of the "#GenZ" #protests / #revolution in #Kathmandu#Nepal
What's this
#Nepali coordinating #revolution on #Discord, almost 10,000 on one conference call
They're calling it the "#GenZ" #protests. It was sparked by a crackdown on #SocialMedia but the base frustration is #corruption, #nepotism, #unemployment, and #inequality. 19 protesters were killed on Monday, I'll spare you a viewing of that video, and Tuesday #Parliament and the #SupremeCourt were set on fire. The prime minister has resigned. The government has fled.

Tech literacy escalates each gen: what was wizardry for Boomers became competence for Gen X, baseline for Millennials & oxygen for Gen Z. Falling behind shifts from quirky to disqualifying.
Boomers: clicking "Allow" is courage. We sigh then forgive.
Gen X: knows enough to fix it or find you. We don't intervene; we value self-preservation.
Millennials: if it spins, they rage. If it syncs they breathe. Baseline or bust.
Gen Z: interface is destiny. If you can't navigate you can't participate.
Each cohort shrinks the last cohort's miracles to muscle memory.
The penalty for lagging climbs fast: first confusion, then exclusion, then unemployment.
Evolve or get logged out of life.

Wake the fuck up #GenX#Millenials#GenZ. If we don’t correctly diagnose the problem, the #boomers will be the end of us all. We have to #organize as a block to fight them.

#Ageism Doesn’t Belong Here. #Community Does. 🛡️💪🏾
My SPARTA Strength Class (ages 65–97) at the Malden Senior Center welcomed two summer interns into a full-body experience. ✨These rockstars didn’t just demonstrate—they inspired. From cheers to high-fives, it was age-defying unity in motion.
📣We’re not just breaking a sweat—we’re breaking stereotypes.

A deeply personal share.
I would love to only post about #fitness, healthy living, and create the illusion that all is well. But that would be dishonest to my principles and values.
Those cheering “Alligator Alcatraz” aren’t just spectators— They’re part of a growing effort to normalize dehumanization through policy, rhetoric, and spectacle.
Some can scroll past this.
I can’t.

We seem to have entered the #era of #celebrity #marriage as #performance #art.
I think it started with Jon Richardson though I may have missed earlier iterations.
For a while we've had an assortment of farming couples including Jeremy Clarkson.
Now they're graduating to using marriage to revive moribund careers such as the case with Noel Edmonds.
It's no wonder #genz has a jaundiced outlook. It didn't happen in a vacuum.
📣Our humanity is not negotiable.
🇺🇸🇩🇴 I want to share a quote I reflect on daily. It’s from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and it feels more urgent than ever:
🗣️ “…and we must realize that the time is always right to do right.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “The Other America,” Stanford University, April 14, 1967
🚨Apathy is a luxury we cannot afford.

Bonus #Joke :
My daughter once yelled at me in German.
I yelled back in Klingon.
She was confused.
I was terrified.

![Comic with a woman sitting in a recliner. In front of her, two pre-teen children are staring at their cell phones.
Mom's speech balloon is in cursive. She is saying, "When I was your age, I had to write in a style called 'cursive'."
One child texts to the other, "W-T-H is Mom saying?"
The other child replies in texting abbreviation with "I-D-K."
