That's how I feel too. In my case I'm fascinated by how people seem offended that history can continue to be reexamined, there are commenters who seem mad because they already saw someone else talk about this and they are NOT interested in letting anyone else have a say.

Right now, thousands of smartass adult children are sitting around a kitchen table, drinking coffee, and bickering over which pregnancy their mother took the most Tylenol during. I think that’s beautiful.

I’ll throw it out there that an Analogue Pocket is one, cheaper, two, better, and three, doesn’t loudly signal that you support war crimes every time you take it out.
I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I watched the Depeche Mode “101” documentary for the first time in… probably 20 years tonight.
There’s an old joke that the worst thing about your favorite band is their other fans, and boy does this flick exemplify that.

The first iPod I owned, the cheap shuffle one that was shaped like a stick of gum, had a habit of starting every playlist with this track. I will always associate beginning my morning jogs in college with it. Give it a listen.

It’s no longer online, but my all-time favorite Onion headline will always be ”All Else Fails,” which was probably around 2004/05.
