I’m OK Boomer, You’re OK Boomer

Turning 60 tomorrow, so everyone can fuck right off. After they get me a glass of water …

Are the Depends on Aisle 9?

@blogenfreude: I seem to have recovered from this. But as you know, the first year of any new decade is sheer novelty. It’s always N+1 that gets ya.

Question: why would you care?

I have ten years on you; I’m now 70 and, as you see, have mastered the semi-colon. I’m recently widowed, okay with it, am moving on, disconnected all cable TV trumpery, am in better physical shape than I have been in years, look fabulous, I have never seen Wayne’s World and plan on keeping it that way, am wondering what on earth you have against platform shoes (asking for a friend), have taken up yoga (I don’t do chakras), renovated the house, lost a dog, did not go to London to see the olde country before it collapsed because ew, and am typing now with a pug in my lap.

Unlabeled life is good. So buck up, Bucky. My hilariously tactless GP tells me I can look forward to as many as twenty more years. Or, to put it in a more concrete terms, I can look forward to at least one more complete MCU saga and perhaps another re-reading of King Lear, because it surely can’t be as bad as I think it is. I did make one rule: no more puppies – because I don’t want to outlive them. On the other hand, is life without pugs worth living? Oh, and come spring I might finally plant that vegetable garden.

See? Now I shared and we both feel better. As a bonus here is this. You will want to dance, or whatever it is you do to music, so off with the Birks, big boy. Or at least the socks.

For me, what defines a boomer is the age at which you’re allowed to retire with full SSA benefits. If they hiked the retirement age on you, you’re not a boomer. I was born the same year as Obama, and work for a sole proprietorship owned by a man who is 75. The odds of being able to keep this job until I’m 67 are not good, and the odds of finding anything as a 60-yr-old in the job market are equally bad. And of course, the real boomers will have bankrupted SSA and medicare before I even get close. I. Am. So. Bitter.

@Mistress Cynica: As a freelance geek, well, I better hope I remain a freelance geek, since the job market is not kind to Geezer Geeks. It’s this or Greeter at this point.

But I knew that going in, so no complaints. Better this than a bitter, laid off city editor.

Over 80 hours of televised hearings with RepubliKKKans like Gym Jordan hopping up and down, shrieking, and flinging their feces. Hard pass.

Skip to the end and feed Prezirapist AntiChrist into an inferno feet first.

JNOVJr has informed me that errrryone who thinks climate change isn’t happening and who basically sold out younger generations because they don’t fucking care = Boomer. Boomer is more than a generation: It’s a state of mindlessness. Okay, Junior.

Is that fucking George Conway on MSNBC? Need less drugs. Thank you.

@JNOV: Had the expression been available, I would have totally used “OK Yuppie” in the Eighties.

@nojo: I like “OK Hipster.” I’m sure they’re up to something.

@JNOV: We already have “Look at that fucking hipster.”

@nojo: Damn. I forgot about that.

I’m concerned that we’re putting a lot of pressure on millennials to fix what we have broken. I’m not concerned that they can’t do it. I’m concerned that it’s just too much.

Masha Yovanovich is my shero.

And Roger Stone guilty on all charges!

Happy Friday!

@SanFranLefty: YES!

@¡Andrew!: Hey – you wanna go see Mudhoney at the Croc in May? Just bought my ticket. HURRAH!

Pray to the FSM that Stone and every other Tr666pist will finally get what they deserve—spending the rest of their stupid miserable lives in prison.

@JNOV: I’ll check it out & get back to you : )

Also worth mentioning that Stone was one of the leaders of the “HILLARY FOR PRISON” idiocy. Womp, womp.

It’s incredible how many sleazy Tr666p stooges have already been convicted and are or will be sent to the slammer: Paul Manwhattafart, Rick Gates, Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Michael Cohen, others???

As WaPo delicately put it: “Stone joins the remarkable universe of criminality surrounding the president.”

Shitbirds of a feather ratfuck together.

@SanFranLefty: I can’t fathom why the judge didn’t LOCK HIM UP immediately (((hello flight risk))) srsly WTF?

Is sentencing delayed until February so that he has plenty of time to “commit suicide” or what?

@JNOV:
Like older workers who let the young ones get fucked to save their own asses.

@¡Andrew!:
Doesn’t seem the introspective type who is contemplating the cruel irony of going to jail. Otherwise he would have done so after getting the Nixon Tramp Stamp.
