If they truly believed they were saving America they'd be celebrating in the streets, not canceling town halls and hiding from their constituents.

Money changes everything. Because deep down, GenX was not a bunch of Material Girls.

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air... The best TV theme songs belong to GenX.

A lost art. The bangers that were GenX TV theme songs.

Does anyone know if the lady who posts her dad’s agenda for his weekly coffees with his friends is on here? It’s the only thing I miss from the other place.

If Bing crooning about following the general wherever he wants to go at the end of #WhiteChristmas doesn’t make you weep, I don’t think you’re doing it right.

Is it just me? Or do none of us have any patience?

If good things come to those who wait, I think I might be screwed.

It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox
