  • We're Taking a 4-Year Cruise to Avoid the Trump Administration!
    2024/11/20
    Andrew is looking forward to his first cruise in the next few weeks, but he's tempted to cancel and instead go on The Villa Vie Residence cruise, a 4-year journey starting next year. Why ever might it be timed for 4 years?? Seriously though, what does going on a 4-year cruise actually accomplish if you're unhappy about politics at home? No, this isn't a headline from The Onion: satirical magazine The Onion bought Alex Jones' InfoWars and all of its properties at auction. Bankrupt and without his usual grifter influence, Jones and his lackeys at the company that produces the supplements he hawks are crying foul over the sale. The Onion plans to shut down Infowars and relaunch it with internet humorists, likely to parody the types of extreme right-wing grifters the Alex Jones model inspires. What could Alex Jones do next - he still has a massive following on his personal social accounts, but his venues are somewhat limited at this point to X and Truth Social. Andrew has a dramatic announcement: he is departing Twitter after 17 years on the platform. Laura plans to too, but not before Andrew attempts to find some problematic tweets. Like many, he has migrated to BlueSky after the election, having had enough of Elon's BS. What to like about BlueSky? It's like Twitter before Twitter became shitty! How long will that last? We're not sure, but we're here to enjoy the ride! If you've left Twitter recently, know you're not alone: daily usage of the app is down in the US and UK, and many hundreds of thousands have departed since Elon Musk acquired the app. This week's recommendations are a grab bag: Scrivener (Pam), Christmas Tree Hugger, and 'Arcane' season 2 on Netflix (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon: Listener Sonia shares a hilarious Minnesota road rage story in light of last week's After Dark. Thanks Sonia! Pam explains one of the lastest TikTok movements, 'underconsumptioncore' where influences are trying to get their followers to buy LESS junk online. Great idea, right? Unfortunately, we are all still easily influenced: we come clean about what we've bought off the TikTok shop, and whether we've been happy or disappointed by what we received.

  • Millennials Are Increasingly Liberal, and Gen Z Are More Conservative?!
    2024/11/13
    Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real post-mortem election talk! Running away to nature and self care: how we've spent the last week (or last million years) since the election. To our friends on the left: WE LOST. SORRY. DON'T GO DOWN THE CONSPIRACY RABBIT HOLE! Let's toot our own horn: unlike prior generations, millennials are not getting more conservative as we age (take that grandpa!). Confirmed: Republicans will take the House majority, but we're predicting a slim one, meaning House Speaker Mike Johnson will need to reach across the aisle to cancel out the crazy freedom caucus in his own party if he wants to get anything done. Get a sneak peak into Trump's cabinet here. What an assortment... On the west coast, CA Governor Gavin Newsom is attempting to bolster his state against the incoming admin's agenda. But how does the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution factor in here? Looking forward, how do we peacefully protest this agenda and maintain our sanity? Lead with kindness, pick 1-2 issue areas you really care about and make that your focus. This week's recommendations are all about self-soothing: Sunrise alarm clock (Pam), Ticket to Ride (Andrew), and outdoor meditation (Laura). And in this week's installment of After Dark: Andrew has a Bumble BFF update and the tea is PIPING hot! Are millennials and Gen Z angrier drivers than previous generations? We do tend to be whores for the horn! What are the traffic situations that bring out our road rage? 2/3 of us are definitely bitchy drivers, and as always, Pam is an angel!
