"Barstool Sports" aka David Portnoy,  is one of the main leaders of these people you're trying to make a thread on.

FWIW He just tweeted this, about Dave Chapelle & the Foo Fighters and he has 2.9 million followers. And anti-woke sympathizer Gen x-er Yglesias just retweeted it.

#cryptocrash trending; apparently is a bloodbath

just in case you haven't noticed these folks exist:

a considerable number of young people are enamored of  extreme capitalistic endeavors perhaps because they think this (thought-provoker just retweeted by Matthew Yglesias):

Encouraging innovation and risk is fundamental to this cohort? Not like their "cancel Antonio at Apple" and "force Yglesias at Vox to be more politically correct" robotic identitarian hordes of their generation?

Also just a reminder to check out Shit Nonprofits Say from time to time.

noting another libertarian trend among the crypto friendly:

related to the above - chart showing denial of reality acoming in the Pacific NW:

Kabuki culture war protesting at Wi Spa in L.A. for social media "where's the outrage?" attention:

couple examples of some of the  (probably staged) festivities:

And a  couple a BTW's

Tucker's Folly. (he learned from Trump how to troll better?)

there's still one born every minute:

Now that the greatly increased percentage of children who identify as transgender can dream of becoming a respected lead actress in "Hollywood":

I wonder what happens to the psyches of children that identify as nongendered, as they still have to pick between being an "actor" or "actress."

And apology in advance for any age-related offense as I haven't kept up on whether it's still kosher to identify people as "children".

there's still no such thing as bad publicity

I note all the big right wing online voices seem to be on board with promoting this Bitcoin guy's new phone and helping the promotion go viral, starting today, with shipping starting in August

Keep in mind, though, that the concept he's selling is not necessarily "right wing", what it more accurately is is libertarian. And the latter is the political sympathy of most bitcoin maniacs (as well as quite a few geek iconoclasts.)

I have no idea of the practicality or whether it's bullshit or real, just pointing out the meme

interesting thread of bunch of lefties arguing about whether the DSA (Democratic Socialist party of America--a reminder that they basically took over the Dem party in Neveda earlier this year) is mostly a bunch of tankies or not. Starts here (I don't know who the Lina is that he is referring to):

no I didn't put this on the wrong thread, as it's already gone "viral" on twitter (no pun intended) I suspect stock in makers of RNA vaccines is going to go fucking crazee

and once again the Thos. Frank "what's the matter with Kansas" people, now Trump fans, anti-vaxxers, believers in Christian Science rather than Science, the Qanon, etc., are going to be "left behind"

I doubt this news is about generational desires, I'd be very surprised if all generations aren't included in these numbers. What it does though, is to CLARIFY ANARCHIST LEFTIES' campaign using Starbucks as one their favorites to attack as a multinational corporation is a total failure. Probably going into the range of "turn off people who might otherwise be friendlies", i.e. "I'm going to support the local Starbucks more precisely because you broke their window"

It's the greatest generation that notoriously didn't like the idea spending a lot on little luxuries, if they could find similar enough way cheaper they would think: crazy. My father was a true coffee addict all his life, would always have a togo cup from like Dunkin Donuts or a gas station with 7-11 type setup the moment he started a drive somewhere. And that was way before there were cup holders in cars. I think he would shrug at Starbucks, not knowing nor understanding much about it's reputation in pop culture and react that he can pay a lot less for coffee at McDonald's and hang around drinking it all day. At the same time, not being judgement either, he didn't pay attention to any pop culture about food, once notoriously saying about 20 years ago about a joke on TV what's wrong with fruitcake?! He truly wanted an explanation, had no idea. Grew up with people gifting it on the holidays and appreciating it.

Also about GenX I have two Gen X sister-in-laws and one Gen X bro, another Gen X bro-in-law, all very worldly, who became addicted to one or another version of Starbucks brand. Like on arrival to stay in a new nabe, the first thing they ask is "is there a Starbucks around here?" Almost ashamedly they have to admit to people they are staying with that have become addicted to that Starbucks to-go cuppa. Surely that became a thing when they were in college!
