  1. Ministry Proposes Tax on Nostalgia Posts to Save the Environment

    The Ministry has proposed a Nostalgia Tax on every "Only 90s kids will understand..." post. The revenue will help data centers survive the endless storage of recycled memories while an official investigation examines whether the good old days were actually good—or just remembered that way.

  5. In reading Bob Scheiffer's autobiography, he said something any working #journalist will understand.

    Sometimes while on assignment chasing a story - such as I did for years at AirVenture - you get breaks only when they come, which can be hours apart.

    He said, if you "See food...eat it. If you see a bathroom...use it. If you see a bench or chair...sit on it.

    By the end of #Airventure week, I never passed a bench without using it for a quick break.

  7. The Good Old Days
    by Kevin Ahern

    Once, seeing was believing
    Words had meaning
    Handshakes mattered
    The Statue of Liberty
    was more than a statue

    One day,
    now will be someone’s good old days

  11. Hi #fedi, I am looking for the silly, AI-free, algorithm-free #internet.

    I miss the internet of the 90s and early 2000s.

    Realised I am visiting the same websites, which feels such a confinement, given the vast expanse of human creativity that inhabits the online world.

    I am all for #serendipity, #blogs, weird facts, even silly games.

    Do you have any recommendations?

  16. Ah, the "good ol' days" of #coding when projects were green and fields were greener. 🌿 Now, in the age of #AI, it's all sad trombones 🎺 and existential dread—because apparently coding apps for others isn't fulfilling enough. 👍 Keep vibing in your melancholy corner, dear coder, while the rest of us embrace our robot overlords. 🤖

  17. How #Patriarchy Weaponizes #Nostalgia

    youtube.com/watch?v=rivu-e23sv8

    Do you ever find yourself longing for “the #goodolddays"? A #simplertime when everything felt easier and no one was doomscrolling? But what exactly are we #remembering, and what are we leaving out? Let's dig into how nostalgia and hidden #patriarchal frameworks shape our view of the #past.

  18. Why do people always lament the good old days? Despite all the bad things in history, the world today has become so much more progressive and humane than it was many years ago and before. This lamentation can only stem from a lack of education in which the past is presented to us.

    The only thing we are really destroying continuously is the global climate. And then we have to admit to ourselves: “Everything used to be better.”

  19. Poop!

    Don’t be surprised if aliens think we want poop.

    We take our dogs for a walk just so they can poop in front of us. Then, carefully, we pick it up until we can dispose of it. Then we call dogs “Man’s best friend”. That makes it sound like we’re just angling for more poop.

    Then we also take care of poop of other animals. Cats we dutifully change the kitty litter for. Farm animals are cleaned up after by farmers (in the barn that is). Then it is collected and aged and put on the fields. All to allegedly grow more food!

    But it is our babies that will make aliens think we want poop. We carefully change them and dispose of the poop. Then we talk about how parenthood has changed us. That we feel such love for our children and have a bond that is oh so strong.

    But we stop talking about about such things when our kids are old enough to talk and start to say no to a lot of things we think we are doing for their own good. They may be old enough to talk but that is also about the age they can go potty on their own.

    So we reminisce about the good old days when they were a baby. And couldn’t go to the potty on their own.

    The common denominator is obvious. We bond with creatures when we can dispose of their poop.

    Don’t be surprised when an alien has a dookie right in front of us.

    We will get angry and asked it why it did this. They will explain themselves much as I’ve explained it above. “We just want to be loved, as you love other creatures. Now dispose of it!”

    Then the humans will explain that we only dispose of the poop of those other creatures because they are imbeciles. Which is a good way of getting that same alien to fling its poop in your face.

    “There! I’m an imbecile. Now love me!”
