“CURTAINS FOR ZOOSHA? K-SMOG AND BATBOY CAUGHT FLIPPING A GRUNT.”
I used to work at a hikers’ hostel on the Appalachian Trail. A group of hikers needed a ride into town but were short on cash. One of them suggested they offer the hostel owner some weed in exchange for a ride. Another one said, “He doesn’t smoke weed. He’s old, like in his 40s.” He actually was in his 50s and bought his weed from me lol
Personally, I loved the idea of new media. Cable was shit.
After experiencing new media… there’s some good stuff in there, guys. I promise. Just gotta wade through mountains of shit.
There should be some rule like; if you have a preference it can’t exist all by itself unless it’s watered down or mixed in with every other preference.
Thank all that is good for genres. At least there is some media that can define itself clearly enough and still build enough of a following to self fund.
If its good enough, the news of it will get to me eventually and I will see for myself.
This is how I live now.
This is what it means to be old.
I’m 34.
As somebody who was born in 2007, I have no clue who modern celebrities are either. People consider me out of touch but I have no idea what half of what people around me are saying. The acronyms don’t help and I am too scared to search them up.
I watch NBA basketball and back in the day (1990s) there was exactly one player that was referred to by his initials: Michael Jordan. Nowadays fans use initials (with their jersey number occasionally tacked on as if that’s the cleverest thing to do in the world) for almost every player and it’s almost impossible to know who they’re talking about. For some players this is legitimate (e.g. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a mouthful so SGA is a good replacement) but for most it is not.
In baseball now, they like to make nicknames by taking the first initial and the first syllable of the last name. Like J-Hey. It’s annoying and unoriginal. Baseball used to have the best nicknames too.

Oh god, this is worse than the initials+jersey number thing.
Um, A-Rod has been a thing for a while now.
Um, nobody said he hasn’t. Um, what’s your point
Just that it’s not a new thing like you made it sound.
Honey, baseball has been around a lot longer than the mid 90s. It’s new. Learn about context.
My friend with young cousins was telling me that kids are using “sigma” instead of “cool” now?
“That’s so sigma, bruh.”
The fuck?
I often need to remind myself that Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are not recent movies.
It’s the same as being a kid in the 80s, which I was, and thinking The Seven Year Itch was a recent movie. Now, I had seen that movie on TV, because my parents liked it, and I thought it was funny, but never did I think of it as “recent”.
Still, you can’t tell me that Harry Potter movies didn’t happen in the last ten years.
I have never (not asking for info, I can look it up) seen it, just heard it mentioned by name. Couldn’t tell you the actors or even the genre off hand.
But I can tell you that every time I hear the movie my brain (for juuuust a second) always thinks it’s a Star Trek movie that’s specifically about pon farr.
For those not in the know, Vulcans (aka the race of aliens that Spock belongs to), while very disciplined, will get super horny every 7 years. So horny that they will just up and die if they don’t bust a nut and for whatever reason they can’t just take care of it themselves.
Now I’m no kid from the 60s, but I did hear of it first with Tuvok in the Voyager series. And now that reference is just as dated now as the original show was when I watched Voyager. And I just had a whole existential moment between those 2 sentences in this paragraph. I’m so old now.
They’re lucky not to know, doop fell hard off after it was acquired by Skoot Corp.
I’m a school bus driver and my elementary school kids go on about somebody named “Queso” (sp?) on Youtube and I find myself constantly fighting the urge to see what he’s all about. It can’t possibly be good.
He’s a streamer whose chat makes fun of him for being fat. Caseoh.
I guess he won streamer of the year in 2024 - that was the first I’d heard of him
There’s a whole lot of people who are basically famous with being famous…
I feel seen.
You keep joking about Doop and it’s going to come true.
You’ve seen boomer humor. Get ready for milly mirth
I wasn’t a huge fan the first couple times I saw this meme but it’s growing on me now.
Be patient, Mr./Mrs./Ms. CumFart
