Very true. Once the song was included in the Seinfeld series finale special, it was off to the races. I guess what I'm saying is it was a contemporary song to kids back then (as it was for me). Now it's...an oldie.

The student choir at my niece's high school graduation sang Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," which came out in 1997. Had an existential crisis when I realized it's just as old to my niece as a Jackson 5 song would've been to me when I graduated high school in 2002.

Anyone else check social media to make sure the world is still there when they wake up in the middle of the night or am I just under too much stress?

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

We did it, New York. We skipped over the beautiful spring weather and hurled ourselves straight into the ungodly 90-degree summer weather once more.

Watching that episode when it first aired and seeing kids who were around the same age as me essentially cosplaying as the TNG crew gave me such vicarious joy and also a little jealously like, "WHY NOT ME?"
