Hey, #genX. This is bothering me. I know there's a lot of drawing books that leave space for you to draw your own thing, but do you remember a coloring book series (may have started with an A) that gave you prompts and a blank area, to draw your own coloring book? Kind of like this?

RSS: The Internet Before It Lost Its Mind
What app eats up most of your screen time — and do you even feel bad about it? If I check my screen time, the app sitting smugly at the top is NetNewsWire. Not Facebook. Not TikTok. Not some game designed to squeeze every last drop of dopamine out of my brain. An RSS re

And no, it wasn't worth it. Because most of the shit I did to my body wasn't fun. I wish I could say it was from drugs, parties, and loud music. But those were just fun. What really hurt me was digging deep to bust out another miracle to aid the system or be there for someone who likewise wouldn't be there for me.
I borrowed against the future on the bet that I was setting up myself for an easier time of it. The ant storing up for winter while the grasshopper carelessly threw his time away with fun.
But no. That isn't how it works. The ant gets her winter stores stolen by the grasshopper and then she's got nothing when she needs it AND a sore back.
That's what radicalized me.

RIP #JimGilstrap 🙏🏿 (November 10, 1946 – July 18, 2026), who was well known for singing the opening lines to Stevie Wonder's 1972 hit "You Are the Sunshine of My Life". But if you were a #GenX kid like me, you're probably most familiar with his powerful voice in the opening and closing theme songs for the TV show "Good Times". I chose the latter for a nostalgic closing tribute to him...💔🥲

Good grief, Queensrÿche's Operation Mindcrime is nearly 40 years old.
Yet another entry in the list of "music that shows my generation knew what was up and somehow fell short of our ideals."
It's a hard listen, so mh/drugs/pol/sexual abuse/religious themes. Probably one of the greatest theme albums of all time though.

So... Gen X... Looking at my peers specifically: We fucked up. We knew better. Hell, we even made promises...
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep -

"Why do I find it hard to write the next line"
Guitar, tenor sax, grand piano, drum kit, Tony's vocals & 5 dudes in really sharp suits...that'd play in 2026, wouldn't it, ladies? 😁

We had family over for dinner last night and ended up having a conversation about how much I miss having a daily paper to read in the morning. I relayed stories of going through the box scores and statistics in the sports section before I did anything else from the time I had an interest as a kid until the day I stopped our major daily subscription.
Does anybody know whether we process physical text differently than we do digital text?
And does anybody else miss newspapers?

People say being a part of a generation doesn't mean anything. I beg to differ. There are clear differences between Gen X and the Millennials and the Z's.
Honestly there's a huge gap in mentality between Old Millennials and younger ones!
