A quick note on Generation Jones because I keep seeing the same two comments. First, I did not invent Generation Jones. I know I’ve covered this many times, but I’m saying it once more… with feeling! The term was coined by social commentator Jonathan Pontell decades ago. It describes those of us born in the latter part of the Baby Boom, generally from the mid 1950s through the mid 1960s. The idea wasn’t that we were better or worse than anyone else. The idea was that our experiences were different. And that’s where some people get upset. “Why are you dividing people even more?” I’m not. I’m trying to understand people. It is my nature to seek to understand. Human beings naturally recognize patterns. In fact, pattern recognition is one of the hallmarks of intelligence. We categorize things constantly. We categorize music, literature, politics, sports, professions, regions, cultures, and historical eras. Not because we hate each other, but because understanding differences helps us understand ourselves. The Baby Boomers were originally lumped into a single generation spanning roughly 20 years. That’s a huge group of people. Someone born in 1946 had a very different experience from someone born in 1964. The older Boomers remember Eisenhower, the early years of the Cold War, and, as young adults, the height of the counterculture movement. I was born in late 1962. JFK was buried on my first birthday. I wasn’t a hippie. I wasn’t at Woodstock. By the time I was entering adulthood, America was dealing with stagflation, gas lines, sky high mortgage rates, and a very different economy. Those experiences shape people. That’s why the Generation Jones conversations have been so much fun. For the first time, thousands of people are saying, “Wait a minute. That’s exactly how I remember it.” We’re remembering rotary phones, typewriters, station wagons, lawn darts, latchkey afternoons, riding our bikes until dark, and growing up in the strange space between the analog and digital worlds. Nobody is required to identify with Generation Jones. Nobody is being excluded. But the response has been remarkable because so many people finally feel seen. And honestly, that’s what I’ve enjoyed most. Not the labels. The stories. The memories. The realization that millions of us had similar experiences and somehow found each other on the internet fifty years later. It’s been one of the most unexpectedly joyful things I’ve ever posted about, and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon.

This video is PEAK comedy gold. I felt this in my SOUL. 😂 “Can’t stand these fckn bicyclists” — my brother, you just narrated my morning commute. He nails it: Grown-ass men in skin-tight neon spandex outfits looking like a pack of radioactive Power Rangers, riding three-wide like it’s the Peloton Championships on a residential road. No one’s handing out medals at the cul-de-sac, Kyle. You’re not transporting a heart for surgery. You’re just expensive, slow-moving road geese with $10k carbon fiber attitudes. One? Fine. Eight? That’s a tactical formation. That’s how civilizations fall. I’m honking, I’m crying, I’m in agreement. Save us from the Lycra Legion. He nails every reason I can’t stand the bicycle militia.

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old. We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones. And honestly, it explains a lot. We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media. We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life. That is not a small thing. People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly. Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that. We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to. We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming. We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime. We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen. And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one. That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials. A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time. We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them. That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us. But we exist. We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age. And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

#davescaridservice My dad owned the 57 Ford but I’m curious about the other two cars He had tons of stories about how hard that car would run and was part of the whole drag racing scene. Was there anything about that particular engine that would have been so strong that year?

Every George Floyd memorial needs to be destroyed right now.

US/Israeli military dominance over Iran has been as decisive as any conflict in history to this point. It's been that lopsided. Anyone saying otherwise is lying. You can disagree with this conflict without turning your brain into mush in the process.

Not sure anyone has noticed but the new Starbucks Olympics commercial is using the music from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Not that anyone cares but thought I’d point it out. #starbucks youtu.be/493-pTRNNxk?si=kuZz…

🚨 BRAKING 🚨 This is absolutely disgusting, and I am shaking with rage. An @ICEgov van has been spotted OUTSIDE A CHURCH waiting to snatch worshippers This is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment that establishes the separation of church and state

Be positive and smile at life. Hardships will come, and some will hit harder than you ever expected, but your attitude is a power the world can’t take from you. When life tests you, choose to meet those challenges with a steady heart and a lifted chin. A smile isn’t denial; it’s a declaration that you are stronger than the moment you’re in. Positivity isn’t pretending everything is perfect, it’s believing you have the strength to rise, rebuild, and continue forward with purpose. Hold on to that light. Even in the darkest chapters, it’s what guides you to the next sunrise.

Dear Boquiesha, You’re absolutely right about being lynched. I’m currently in Georgia, about an hour away from Atlanta, and decided to take a walk around my brother’s neighborhood. All of a sudden, six Klansmen jumped out of nowhere and tried to lynch me. However, none of them were really in shape and I managed to fight them off relatively easily after a three minute struggle. I silently mouthed “Wakanda forever” in victory. Then one of them screamed “let’s castrate him” and the six of them lunged for the Thunder. As they were grabbing for it, I yelled out “NONE OF YOU DECLARED ‘NO HOMO’, SO THIS IS GAY!” which made them all jump right off. We all kind of stared at each other awkwardly after that. They then kind of wandered off without uncertain eye contact with me or each other. Jussie Smollett then appeared and gave me a Subway sandwich for my troubles. No hugs. You’re one of the names on my permanent hug banned list. Zeek

Hey @NotABBWLover We’ve long since established that pineapple does not go on pizza Can you settle the question of whether oysters belong in stuffing?

This is the only energy I want from the @GOP while Democrats demand free health care for illegal and “legal” immigrants.
