I've really been trying to NOT be a crabby old millennial lady about "what even are band names nowadays?" but I have to draw the line somewhere. You CANNOT just call yourself "@". Seriously.

Does no one care about SEO anymore? Are we just not supposed to WANT to look up an artist and read more about them??

@. Seriously. I can't. That's just utterly ridiculous.

Jugendwort 2026, die volle Top 10:
67, Crashout, Digga, Du bist gut genug, Gute Käse, Macker, Peak, Ragebait, Schere, Süper.
Ich verstehe zwei davon und fühle mich trotzdem wie ein Boomer-Anfänger-Modul, das gerade ein Update braucht. Für welches sind wir?

Ah, the artistry of "AI Anime Creation," where human writers valiantly resist the siren call of AI-generated drivel to produce something that Gen Z and Gen Alpha will scroll past in seconds. 🙄 With the revolutionary "cut everything that isn't interesting" technique, they're redefining brevity and #minimalism one uninspired episode at a time. 🎨✨

🤝🏽 Giving Back. Youth. Life Skills.

🗣️ Thank you to Maria Stotz from CareerSpring and Patricia from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Dorchester for making today's event possible!

🎓This afternoon, I had the privilege of participating in an amazing workshop at the club. Alongside fellow CareerSpring volunteers Laura, Anh, and Moira, and in partnership with the Fields Corner Crossroads Collaborative, we facilitated a fun and interactive session on crafting an elevator pitch for about 80 local high schoolers.

It was inspirational to witness so many young people learning while having fun. I know this generation will do well, and I wish them the best of success—I'm grateful to have had a small part in their journey. ✨

@jd @george After I introduced #GenAlpha to #DeltaChat, it spread like wildfire among my social circle. Then the spammy hundred group creation for a hundred different things started, and I had to create a separate profile which I was careful to share with adults only!

Having three #kids staying overnight with mine (so four in total) is ... an adventure.
Them all being #genAlpha is ... taxing.

Weird lights in the #sky, they wanna go on a #UFO hunt.
Explain them that it's searchlights from a #solstice #festival, fruitless. Despite obvious visual evidence in the sky.
They ask the lie-to-me-machine (#AI). "It's a meteor, several in fact!" Searchlights, clearly.
"The AI says it's a #rocket launch."
You wouldn't see a rocket launched by the #Americans here in #Austria. They insist that #Google (#Gemini) says it'd be visible....

The gods gave them eyes and a brain, but no, AI knows better...

Happy solstice though.

Claudius is sus

Zhen (13) and I have been reading a kid-friendly retelling of Hamlet. I found this great find at our local public library!

I thought reading Hamlet For Kids (by Lois Burdett) together would be a fun way to introduce Zhen to Shakespeare without overwhelming her with heavy Elizabethan English.

Today, we read the part of the drama when Hamlet sees his father’s ghost and the ghost tells him Claudius killed Hamlet’s father.

“What does prophetic soul mean?” Zhen asked after reading the passage.

I broke it down for her by asking her to think of what a prophet means and what they do.

I explained, “So, this is basically Hamlet’s poetic way of saying, ‘I knew it! I knew it was my Uncle Claudius!’ Hamlet was suspicious of his uncle, and now the ghost has confirmed those suspicions.”

“Ohhhh, so Claudius is sus!” Zhen exclaimed. 🤣

We both started laughing, and I said, “Well…yeah! I guess King Claudius is sus!”

Such a Gen Alpha way to explain Shakespeare! Haha 😄😎 But it made me happy Zhen made the connection!

“I kept going back afterward because it was interesting to see everyone in my community … and how seriously they took voting,” Martinez said. “It kind of inspired me to come back, and for my last year that I worked there, I voted too.”

I’m at a farmers market and I check the wind, literally, to find a spot to hit my vape, and take a hit off to the side. Some #GenAlpha goes, “you can’t vape here.” I just look him in the eye and reply, “you sound like a cop but you don’t look like a cop. Are you a cop?” hitting “cop” hard.
All his friends just died laughing at him.
I took another hit of my vape as they walked away.
People need to mind their own business or at least, don’t poke a #GenX minding their own business.

Ho una newsletter nuova.
Una traccia alla settimana, la domenica.
Janis Joplin e i Death Grips trattati con la stessa serietà tecnica con cui smonto un IOC.

Non è una rubrica musicale nel senso che classico, non recensisco, non classifico, non do voti.

Parlo del brano, quel che sta intorno, cosa ha significato per la #GenX e perché dovrebbero ascoltarlo pure i #GenAlpha - almeno imparano che cosa sia la musica, non quella cacofonia trappica che si ostinano ad osannare come "accordi melodiosi" (melodiosi sto gran cazzo!).

La prima traccia è quella che da il nome alla #newsletter: You spin me round, brano dei Dead or Alive che mi ha spalancato le porte delle discoball, dei capelli cotonati, dell'ombretto azzurro e dei primissimi zero fuck given alle regole.

Disclaimer: #YSMR non è una newsletter per gourmet di stacippa, per quelli che ascoltano solo l'artista disadattato, per quelli che "io ho visto tutti i concerti delle Spice Girls", per professori del basso e sapientini del vinile.

Musica.
Per il resto, in fondo a destra e mettete pure il bookmark sul gran cazzo che me ne frega.

You Spin Me Round.
One track. One Sunday. One Spin.

Hot take: As a #millennial, I did NOT spend my entire childhood and young adult existence being chastised by #Boomers about how I’m ruining society and destroying entire economic systems by eating avocado toast just for #GenZ and #GenAlpha to pick up the baton and tell me I’m lame and awkward for being an insecure people pleaser.

Come on, just give us some time to either relax a bit or actually turn the tables on the young idiots.

Stare pokolenie jak nowe cieszy się sztuką jaką oni znają od lat: Słuchaj, ty mały gnojku

Tia… Słucham często muzyki sprzed moich narodzin i to popierdolone, że starsze pokolenie marudzi, że "Nowe nie zna tego co dobre", a potem drwi jak się dowiaduje, że znają sztukę z ich czasów, bo przecież to niemożliwe, by sztuka była na tyle "Uniwersalna" i się nie starzeje jak wiele rzeczy, by cieszyć się nią lata… Przecież sztuka powinna mieć datę przydatności i potem być zapomniana, by starsze pokolenia marudziły na nowe, bo jak ten mały gnojek może znać muzykę i inne formy sztuki sprzed ich narodzin?

I tak, jeśli jesteś boomerem, nie wolno ci słuchać Beethovena, bo się nie urodziłeś w tych czasach, nie pamiętasz, przecież sztuka ma limity jakie jej nadałeś :blobfoxfloofcofe:
