  1. As a #GenX -er, I remember Dolly at the peak of her, what? 60+ yr career.

    Her talent was undeniable; but she was born a poor girl. So, I found it interesting how she allowed herself to be something of a punch-line in order to get a foothold in a man's world.

    As a kid, you heard about her chest size long before you heard her music. This was deliberate (plastic surgeries, eg). "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap," she joked.

    Then she used her platform to do tremendous good. #Legend 🏆

  6. Sitting on a bench in Barnesville, Ohio, watching the town do its thing. Old buildings, weird architecture, green footprints, and absolutely nobody in a hurry. This is what happens when America refuses to become a strip mall.

  11. It is seldom talked about...but I think one reason the American economy's #unfairness accelerated so much, during the prime years of #GenerationX, is that neither politicians nor businesses could justify speaking directly to that cohort and addressing its dissatisfaction and valid cynicism toward institutions.

    Its population was undersized, compared to the two generations it got stuck between. So it wasn't profitable enough in terms of votes or market capture. Remember, the origin of its designation "X"—like, an unknown variable—was that it was too small for older leaders to comprehend; or really to bother trying to.

    Hence, for decades, older people's self-interest went unchecked. And they got too powerful by the time Generation Y finally came of age.

  16. Kyle Chandler's interview about playing an aging Hal Jordan in HBO's "Lanterns" does a great job explaining why this show feels so familiar to me.

  21. “In the USA, #GenZ are experiencing the highest #unemployment rate of any demographic: entry-level opportunities are narrowing and #AI is slimming the #workforce. Compare this to the state of play of #GenX when Friends aired: they entered the workforce amid #TechBoom optimism and polled as "remarkably optimistic as individuals".

    This study is a couple years old but found only 28% of football players didn't have CTE and that concussions aren't associated as much as blows to the head (n=631). Each year of football increases your odds of getting cte by 15%. Every 1000 blows to the head increase your odds by 21%.

    Not just football, any contract sport that includes blows to the head. #genx #dodgeball

  36. Jaye P. Morgan has died. Most will ask, "Who?" But if you are a GenX'r with a certain sense of humor, you know.

    And if you know and were a fan, then you and I would surely be friends.

  41. International Dog Day. A completely reasonable holiday, unlike most of the shit humans have invented. Dogs show up, love you, demand food, and judge your life choices without saying a damn word. Honestly, they’ve got this whole living thing figured out.
