Whats something that becomes easier instead of harder as we age (especially past 40)?
Most things get harder. Physically, cognitively, socially. Minds and bodies arent what they used to be.
Most commonly I hear people say 'not giving a f***' but I dont find that completely satisfying. That seems like a consolation prize. What else?
Tonight’s vinyl pics - a groovy 60s LP from The Ventures and Roam from the B-52s.
The B side has Bushfire which was a hit, too!
Clearing out our storage unit, we found two boxes of vinyls from the late 80s, still in their plastic. I’m guessing around 150 or so.
This is going to be fun.
For those of us of a certain age: somebody took EVERY DJ break by Dr. Johnny Fever (WKRP in Cincinnati) and matched it with the music he was announcing. The result is a 3 hour Dr. Johnny Fever show which you can listen to here: https://www.awphooey.com/wkrp
It’s pretty fun and the music mix is good.

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.

Grocery store trip #GenX edition, a story told in two images
He-Man returns in a retro arcade game. And with the longest game title I’ve seen.

I grew up, watching #HulkHogan with my younger brothers. I started hating him, during those early 80s times. I first started hating him for his misogyny. Then, hated him more when he treated Andre the Giant abusively. I also remember his racist shit. Fuck that guy beyond the grave. He was a fascist, bigoted POS. Burn in hell, muthafucka.
Also - he likely died from #covid cardiac arrest because the fidiot didn't believe covid was serious either.
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.

At work, when I test new systems and create accounts, I use names of fictional characters from books and tv. Recently, I used "Wolfman Jack" and my much younger team asked if that was a werewolf movie.
I had to explain Wolfman Jack was a DJ FROM THE 60s and 70s but he voiced an 80s Saturday morning cartoon called "Wolf Rock" where they showed music videos interspersed with a pretty bad scripted cartoon.
This is what we had for entertainment without cable.
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."
