Weekend accomplishements

I saw something in the TikTok comments that was another "Gen X is gettin' old" moment. I was watching a cooking video where someone was making Jackie Kennedy's waffle recipe (it was published when she was still a Kennedy), and made the "Jackie Kennedy eats sheet metal" joke. Someone else said it was ableist or whatever to make fun of her big teeth

I've been wanting to watch "Griselda," just didn't get a chance yet.

**(Also Taylor Swift LOL, I love how much she pisses off grumpy old farts and insecure men.) **

I know, right? They're making me a de facto T-Swift fan.

I'm indifferent to her music, but if she makes the worst assholes in our culture shit themselves in rage then I like her

There was a good Boomer cultural reference/Gen Z "Duh" moment in True Detective this week, too, when Pete asks, "What's Mrs. Robinson?" 😀

I knew he was gonna say that but it still made me laugh. This show is so dark, the humor really stands out in comparison. (I also blurt-laughed when Liz smacked that coffee right into Hank's face.)

The actors are always better looking than the actual historical people. Hugh Laurie played the prince regent in Blackadder. The real life prince regent was so fat he couldn't put his shoes on by himself; he was a prince and he liked to pig out and there was nobody around to tell him to stop it.

I'm sort of halfway between being a boomer and an Xer; a lot of my friends are younger than me but I think that's cool, I introduce them to a lot of books and old movies and music and TV shows and they introduce me to a lot of stuff too.

EGGIES. I love Dylan Hollis, he's a riot

Yeah I understand that thanks. In this particular case though, Vergara was always going to play Blanco. The series was her idea and she was one of the developers/producers.

The amount of dude bros at my work who are apoplectic over Taylor Swift and her himbo is so delicious. I need to contact the local bookie and see what the over/under is on him proposing (if they win) and her dumping him within three months (if they lose).
