I welcome Harris running in the primary. In fact, I suspect had we had a primary in 2024 Trump wouldn’t be president now.

Six months ago, I’d have lined up to volunteer to get this guy elected.

Now, I’m genuinely confused as what he believes in. I suspect he’s done the math and moving to the right increases his chance of being ejected, and if so he’d probably right. But what a disappointment.

To be fair, someone born in 1989 saying they're an 80s baby would likewise get sideeyed from me.

Dionysius did not use a year zero; the year preceding AD 1 was 1 BC.

There was not a year zero. This isn’t a conspiracy theory.

I’m a firm believer each nominal decade (“the 80s” in this case) starts with the year ending in 1 (1981-1990).

Mathematically it’s correct (there was no year 0), but more to the point look at anything in the popular culture in 1980, doesn’t it look like it’s from the 70s? Video from 1990 doesn’t look “90s”, it looks 80s.

Yet again, GenX is overlooked.

Oh boy, another reason to hate Spotify.

I don’t think burning CDs was much of a boomer activity.

Even if you were to concede that point, which to be clear, I absolutely do not, due process must be extended to everyone in order to know who is a citizen and who is not.

I like the situation, but the text reads as AI garbage.
