What people really mean when they say, "That's above my pay-grade," is, "I don't care, I got mine."

Maybe this is generational.

Boomers hung on too long.

Gen X never had a chance.

And now there's a backlash.

Everyone wants to know what to do right now to start to fix this shitshow.

I have a suggestion.

Unplug.

Wait and reconnect with your neighbors for the next 2 years.

Then vote.

It won't be perfect. It never is. But it will be some measure of public sentiment at a more local level than US President.

Gods almighty... do y'all even read words?

Maybe this is why George RR Martin never finished his series.

He didn't know whether or not it would be a tragedy.

Why was I born in these times?

Why were any of us born into these times?

If not to change the course of history? To MAKE it.

@RickiTarr@beige.party "REVEALED" LOL

@muellertadzio@climatejustice.social Always the proper response to a Nazi salute.

@knittingknots2@mstdn.social I'm listening...

@Laukidh@infosec.exchange @jcarlson@mapstodon.space I can be way ruder.

Always the proper response to this situation...

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange Yeah maybe he should start fucking working on a book called, "Do not obey in the past."

@ComicContext@mstdn.social Have you ever considered using these for stenographic encryption? Just saying... "Opportunities multiply as they are seized."

Bit of advice for the next four years:

Read more words at one time, dumbass.

@markmetz@sfba.social Hopefully more of aren't as stupid as the last times.

Prepare for violence. You won't have to precipitate it. Don't worry.

It will all be self defense.

That same super-power is a crutch. A weakness.

We don't believe human beings are capable of saving the Earth. We think we're all fucked.

And you are infected by our hereditary malaise.

How did this come about?

"Latchkey Kids."

That's motherfucking PUNKROCK HOW

Gen X does have a super-power.

We don't mention it often, because it's not cool with any other generation.

...

We secretly agree that Earth would be a better place without human beings.

Gen X needs to step up.

We have the qualifications.

We just hate people.

I think Hollywood is probably toast.

We're gonna need new folk heroes.

@mrandelbot@aus.social We are so stupid, now.

Y'all... Man... I've had like 5 identities on the Fediverse, already. 2/5 because I could keep my lip zipped. 2/5 because I just wanted to try other software.

Then there's the 1/5th, in the middle.

That middle is not something I want to publicize at this time.

I recommend you make a similar decision.

But keep it. Keep that old middle in your pocket.

It may yet save us all.
