@auscandoc @fifilamoura @gorskon ^^What they said!

Age is a spectrum and only one aspect of a person. Generational groupings can make fun cultural memes but it seems to me their utility maxed out in describing #hippies vs #theestablishment.

I just made it into #GenX but identify with #boomers on some topics, #millennials on others.

Have never seen “River’s Edge” but am now interested in giving it a watch - thanks!

#Meme #TheEstablishment

So <checks notes & vaguely remembers Brexit>, the issue wasn’t the EU but was apparently “our own”** UK government/civil service/establishment??? 😂

Perhaps there IS a glimmer of truth in this but... fucking BrexiTories and their continuing populist grievance, excuses & culture war bs.
They are mere self-promoting *grifters*.

Been on something of a #Book buying spree.

#TheFinalDays - Nixon fascinates me.

#TheEstablishment - Owen Jones's work has never let me down yet; I expect this to be another thought provoking takedown of the broken society we live in.

#WhyWeGetTheWrongPoliticians Scandal after scandal after scandal. Maybe it's time we re-evaluate how and who we select as our representatives?

#TheShipThatNeverWas 2022 was the year I discovered that...I kinda like this whole Old-Timey Boat thing as a setting.
