  2. What happens to a gerontocracy when leaders die off without having brought a new generation into the game?

    The longer a politician remains in office, every goal other than power itself falls away, until nothing matters but maintaining that grip. The issues facing their constituencies cease to be meaningful to them. "The future? Not my problem. I won't be there."

    Meanwhile, the next generation of leaders go stale waiting for an opportunity to lead that never comes. #politics #gerontocracy #age

    from yesterday

    me: I want to go home and sit on my couch with my heating pad and my cats

    ...

    me: I am *so* middle-aged

    my mom (82): yes, you definitely are

    but her heart sees much deeper—
    time’s quiet gift grows.

  5. Did you know that Squeak offers declarative sorting?

    This allows you to avoid lengthy manual comparisons:

    animals sorted: [:a :b |
    a age > b age or: [
    a age = b age and: [
    a name <= b name]]].

    Instead, you can declare and chain multiple sort functions:

    animals sorted: descending , ascending.

    Since Squeak 6.1, boolean predicates are supported as well:

    animals sorted: sortedFirst , sortedLast , ascending.

  6. Buenos días.

    Esta pregunta va dirigida a todas las personas funcionarias del estado que pueblan Mastodon.

    Sé que es una decisión personal, pero estoy entre dos caminos y no sé cuál coger.

    Pertenezco al subgrupo C2 del estado, y podré promocionar a C1 a partir del año 2028.

    ¿Sigo por la AGE, o me meto por la Seguridad Social? :blobcatthink:

    Gracias de antemano.

  7. Apparently, #Claude is now an adults-only #club, because minors just can't handle the sophistication of #age #verification 🙄🔞. Meanwhile, the rest of us can enjoy navigating the labyrinthine maze of features and account management worthy of a #bureaucratic #dystopia. Stay tuned for their next riveting update: "Claude now requires retinal scans and a secret handshake!" 👀🤝

  8. Oh, the irony! 🤡 In a #digital #age where #AI supposedly solves math mysteries, readers are left wrestling with the true enigma: #JavaScript and cookies! 🍪 Because, naturally, the real controversy is whether or not you can actually view the article. 🙄

  9. What has a long life taught me?

    Don’t let the old man in. Don’t let the old man in until he’s wearing pants.

    Damn it grandpa. Get your pants.

  10. Still Standing

    Bones creak like old wood,
    but still carry him forward—
    the house does not fall.

  11. A quotation from Orwell

    The child thinks of growing old as an almost obscene calamity, which for some mysterious reason will never happen to itself. All who have passed the age of thirty five are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing about things of no importance and staying alive without, so far as the child can see, having anything to live for. Only child life is real life.

    George Orwell (1903–1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1948-06), “‘Such, Such Were the Joys …’,” Partisan Review (1952-09)

  13. Etched in Joy

    The laugh lines remain,
    etched by joy, not by sorrow—
    sunlight never fades.

  14. i never felt as old as I did today listening to a 20 yo explain to his partner who Pepe Le Pew was 😂 💀

    "He's a skunk who is always like hohohoh-" *does a shimmy* "--oh, and he's French...and a creep."

  15. Witty but archaic: 'I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.'

    Sarcastic but 20th Century: 'I'm older than Google but Younger than the Internet"

    How does Time Work?: "I'm a 1990's Baby"

    I crumble to dust: "I was in Middle school during Pandemic Lockdowns"

  16. CW: Aging and Death

    Today's article is about #aging and my perception of things like #death. Things get more complicated as you get #older. #Celebrity deaths are expected. Even #family members can be expected. But when #friends your own #age or #younger start to pass it can be difficult to comprehend.
