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

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."
