i mean yeah but honey, there are Gen Z people who were around when VHS was still popular, there are gen z people who were alive before the i phone existed
generational categories are subjective and contain a lot of variety
imo you might as well replace generation categories with someone's pluto sign
... in a lot of cases, you're correct, but here we are not talking about generation as some sort of personality assessment akin to a horoscope. We are merely talking about how things change with the passage of time. Gen Z is normally understood to be 1997—2012 (Source: Pew Research Center). You are correct on your other two items, given that the iPhone was introduced in 2007 and DVDs were introduced in 1997, marking the start of the decline of VHS popularity, but, and here's the really important thing, neither of those things has anything to do with the proliferation of online ads, nor whether Generation Z is likely to have meaningfully experienced social media without that proliferation.
Given the commonly-accepted definition of Gen Z years and presuming that most people don't have meaningful social media presences before age 13, that would mean Gen Z wasn't meaningfully on social media as a group before 2010, and the youngest members of that group who made their first account at 13 only did so within the last year.
Would you like to know what year Twitter introduced ads? 2010. (Source: NYT.) Facebook? 2007, with Sponsored Stories in 2011, (Source: CNet) and ads continuing to encroach on feeds until the last time I opened my Facebook feed to check up on family, I got approximately one ad for every post by an actual human, and half of the posts by an actual human being aren't for people that I actually follow or know, but promoted posts from influencers. Instagram came out in 2009 and introduced ads in 2015, so a few outlier Gen Z people may have experienced those social media platforms without ads, or indeed without ubiquitous, pervasive, endlessly intrusive ads, but it is still a reasonable statement that the life experiences of most members of this age group do not include "an online experience devoid of an amount of intrusive advertising that would have made me think my computer had a fucking virus in 2010, let alone 1997," sheerly based on how online advertising has proliferated during their lifetime.

can anyone find the satiric newspaper headline that might have been something other than the onion that was along the lines of “‘This Is More Relevant/Timely Than Ever,’ Says Theater Company About to Put on Oldass Play Worse Than Has Ever Been Done Before”
In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.
You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.
#I'm fucking crying#this is an instant classic#this is the next meme#i can't believe I'm here to see a baby copypasta nary two hours old#I can't#lol#i laughed way too hard#iconic

The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "😰 No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!
i had a nap dream yesterday that i was Murderbot but instead of my human team, the book opened with me sent on a space mission with a dog (a standard poodle). obviously i was like okay cool this is dumb as hell. i just have to feed this dog twice a day and watch my tv shows. perfect.
but when we arrived at our destination i found out the dog was being sent on a no-return biological experiment mission to die horribly on a comet and i was like well.......................................not that i care about this dog but we've spent a lot of time together (three months) and well. it's sort of a waste of a pretty good dog......... . . . ...... .
the problem was after i succeeded in rescuing the dog i was on a stolen ship with it looking at it and i was like wait. now what am i supposed do with this dog
Concepts for a Ghosts show set in eastern Germany. MDR Ghosts, if you will. These guys have been in my head since before WDR Ghosts came out. I kept to the general template provided by BBC Ghosts with some deviations. Details under the cut 🏃
Unna, roughly equivalent to Robin. Inspired by the Shaman of Bad Dürrenberg, a woman buried 9000 years ago with antler headgear and boar tusks in what is now Sachsen-Anhalt.
She speaks fluent German, however she does so with a heavy Saxon dialect, presumably out of spite. One could suspect she was never a real shaman when she was alive.
Ekki von der Wies', mysterious and entangled in eternal combat with the equally dead White Knight who is not allowed inside the house on account of being stuck on his (also dead) horse.
Doesn't speak to anyone besides Unna, who is the only one who knows Ekki is a woman.
Mutter Magdalena, abbess of the Catholic monastery that used to be where Schloss von Sydow now stands. It was burned down and leveled in 1632 by the Swedish king's Protestant armies.
Sort of takes on Fanny's role as strict keeper of tradition and order in the house. Gets very excited about gardening. Also, you're going to Hell.
Henricus Camerarius, or just Henri. Inspired by the real Ignatius Fortuna, servant to a princess-abbess in the 18th century, who seemed to have held a privileged position at her court.
Fluent in Latin, and fast to pick up modern slang. Something of a Mix of the BBC original's Annie and Kitty.
Franz Emil Arendholz, romantic, literally. Fairly straightforward equivalent to Thomas, but make it Weimar Classicism. Can someone keep lethal objects away from disciples of Goethe, please?
Hates the French.
Wilhelmine "Willa" von Sydow, of the noble family after which the house - Schloss von Sydow - is named.
Born too soon to dance her feet off in the Roaring 20s. Might have killed her husband about it.
"Herr Hauptmann" - Captain in the NVA. Very communist. Very stiff, which shouldn't come as a surprise, considering how he went out. Has a northern dialect if you listen close.
There's a lot to unpack here, but he'd rather not.
Manfred Kaminski, or just Manni, if you like. Voluntary football coach, professional electrician. Has relatives on the other side, but doesn't really care to go there - he's been around the block. He worked for the GDR's trade fleet when he was younger, you know?
Anyway, here's Patrick, if Patrick were to be a guy with a Berlin twang so thick you could insulate a wall with it.
Egon Reinecke, SED politician, runner-up for Bezirksleiter of Leipzig before 1989. After reunification, he remained in the party - now called PDS - mostly to embezzle money. Took to capitalism like a fish to water.
In other words: Red Julian!
———
So, that's personal take on an eastern German version of Ghosts! I'm fine with what the actual WDR/ARD show went with, but I was disappointed by the potential left on the table, especially regarding the East and its treasure trove of history and archeological finds.
This is the first time I've drawn any of these ghosts, so the designs, causes of death, etc might not be final.
If you've read this far, tysm for taking the time to look at my little guys <3
i need everyone to get into college football right now i am dying to talk about the texas tech situation. this is the kind of thing that will be referenced for the next 100 years. there will be documentaries and biopics about this.
texas tech's quartback, brendan sorsby, was investigated for sports gambling. i know sports betting is all the rage right now, but athletes themselves are not allowed to do it. it is Rule Number 1 and it is the highest priority rule for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), who governs all athletic programs at about 1,100 colleges in the US.
the invesitagetion of sorsby revealed that, not only did he place more than 9,000 sports bets when he himself was a collegiate athlete, but 40 of those bets were AGAINST HIS OWN TEAM when he was playing at indiana university. immediately, this threatens the integrity of the sport, and especially because indiana is the hottest team right now as the defending national champion.
the NCAA, which is largely a sham organization these days (they've truly lost their grasp and college athletics are the wild west now) actually enforced their Number 1 Rule and told sorsby his career is over, that he would never play college football again (and, subsequently, that he would never get drafted into the NFL because his college career was cut short).
well, because the NCAA is a husk of its former self, sorsby and texad tech immediately took this to court. MANY athletes have learned these past few seasons that if you can find a judge who's a fan of your team, you can get any NCAA ruling overturned. that's exactly what texas tech did. they filed a suit in Lubbock, where the university is located and where every judge is an alum of texas tech. so sorsby was granted an injunction and will now only be suspended for the first 2 games od the 2026 season (which are alwayd against no-name teams that will be destroyed regardless of who's suspended).
every other school in the country immediately went on the defensive because this is a very clear integretiy issue. so nebraska and georgia (sic em dawgs) released statements saying that all currently-scheduled competitions witb Texas Tech in ANY sport will be canceled and there will be no future schedulings. at least 3 of the major conferences (SEC, Big 10, Big 12) , who account for almost all division 1 sports teams in the country, are also in discussions about cancelling comtests. Texas Tech is part of the Big 12, and there is serious talk of all other teams in the conference shutting texas tech out.
now would probably be time where i say that texas tech is one of the wealthiest programs in college football becaise there is a single billionaire alumnus pouring money into the program with hopes of essentially buying a championship. so texas techs integrity has always been questionable. anyway, the university president put oit a statement that he doesnt care that sorseby violated regulation and that texas tech will sue any school that refuses to play them because it jeopardizes their championship prospects if they're umable to play any games.
this is all just startomg but its so juicy and delicious. the NCAA is going to crumble to dust if they cannot get this injunction overturned. schools like georgia and nebraska have plenty of money so a suit isnt necessarily a concern, but this will absolutely change college football forever. i cant stop reading about it.
update on this: texas tech is claiming that every school who has/is considering cancelling all contests is "afraid" that texas tech is better than them. what's funny about this is that sorsby's stats are average. he is not good enough for this kind of protection. many schools who have already cancelled or are considering it have much better quarterbacks than sorsby. also, texas tech's head coach had said that it's actually ok that sorsby bet against his own team because it "its not murder or assault."
the claim is now that texas texh university just cares so much about brendan sorsbys mental health that they have to sue everyone who calls this an integrity violation. any other school who wouldnt defend an athlete that committed this violation "doesnt care about mental health"

Even in a post-capitalist, post-consumerist world, you still need to produce goods, as a result of this, you need factories because it is more effective to have a few people making a lot of clothes in a factory than every woman being forced to sit down and spin wool all day.
The issue with factories is poor wages, unsafe working conditions and environmental impact, all of which can be fixed through things like regulatory bodies and unions, the issue is not the fact that goods are no longer all made at home
lots of people would actively PREFER to work four six-hour-shifts per Week in a factory, over working four six-hour-shifts per Week in Construction Work or Customer Service or Childcare, or working LONGER shifts in agriculture or Academia.
