King Tut looks fresher than this man.

I've mourned pets more deeply than Erika Kirk mourned for Charlie. And not even just dogs. I'm talking non-mammals!
It's true that Sinatra was seen as passé to actual Boomers in the 60s, but I think he's made headway with them since then. At some point, you have to admit the man was a good singer, even if your parents liked him. (That particular song is bad though.)
I'm using Boomer in the broad sense where it just means old. It's very funny that the youth-obsessed, "don't trust anyone over 30" generation is now synonymous with old.
Tender?
"My Way" is the Boomer version of every animated Disney hero's "I'm a special outcast and no one appreciates me" song.
Wow, just last year, someone named Elon Musk said we were in a debt crisis so dire that we needed to slash aid both at home and abroad.
I saw on tv that the big city is dangerous.
The Sid Vicious version works because he's so obviously an asshole. He's not pretending to be otherwise, because he can't. It gives the song a kind of honesty.
The Sinatra version is filled with self-aggrandizing false modesty.
For a certain age group, My Way is every asshole's favorite song.
This is an Obama-era era right-wing meme.
We're in more of a Pogo situation.
Trump is the ultimate example of "fake it until you make it."
So funny to watch Stefanik cape for Trump after he double-tapped her career.
And somehow, less annoying.
I'm well into my dotage and just bought a hummingbird feeder that lets me spy on the birds all day long.
I could have dinner with Emma Stone this weekend.
Tom Wolfe called the 70s "The Me Decade", but the people he had in mind weren't fully in charge of creating mainstream culture until the 80s.
I think you could write a thesis exploring the roots of Gen X's politics just by studying John Hughes.
*whistling past the graveyard intensifies*
"Orange man bad" is the truest statement of the 21st century.
They were already bananas. The people that became Trump's base *loved* Sarah Palin in 2008 & the devastating 2010 midterms moved the party further right. If Romney had an opponent on his right more capable than Rick Santorum (lol) or a past his sell-by date Gingrich, he wouldn't have gotten the nom.
He watched tonight's 60 minutes.
Trump never would have become president without Twitter's original 140 character limit.
Trumpists crow about talking shit all day long, and when one person claps back, they immediately fall back to, "Don't you see that I, too, am a child of God?"
Shows what a bad place we’re in that I was surprised to see Orban concede.
Did The Whale write this?
The Iranians weren't going to give up the strait, and I don't think the US is going to leave them with full control of it. The US goes for the islands from here.
If he'd been ten or even five years younger, Jerry Brown might have been the transitional figure that Joe Biden failed to be.
