Day 27 🗣️🔊🎩

“For the first time, #GenZ and #Millennials outnumber #Boomers as the biggest voting bloc. I can’t speak for everyone, but the general mood on the ground is bleak.

We’re tired of the mudslinging, scare campaigns, confected culture wars and other transparent political theatrics that incite division while distracting the public and media from legitimate critical issues. We don’t need games. We need bold, urgent, sweeping economic and social reforms. There’s frankly no time for anything else.

What are your favorite action movies of the 1980s? I also wonder how younger generations (primarily Gen Z) see macho action movies of the 1980s.

Because I certainly never took them seriously. Except for the fashion part. Fashion part is everything.

TIL Us #millennials cannot commit to such expensive purchases as mattresses so some of us are on mattresses old enough to have their own rooms now.

Half of UK adults under 44 miss Covid ‘lockdown lifestyle’, poll finds

The figures come from a survey that aimed to examine how habits have changed since the UK’s first #lockdown in 2020. It found that 47% of Gen Z Brits, aged 16-27, missed life during the #pandemic and #Millennials, aged 28-44, feel similarly at 46%.

Discussing with friends if things get better when Boomers die off and pass control to #GenX and #millennials.
