I witnessed my child, 18 months, begin to throw a fling self on the floor fit, notice the paved stones onto which he was about to fling himself, go silent, move to the grass, and resume the fit.

The most misguided thing ppl say is ‘social media isnt real life’. Yes it is. Ppl are on their phone 24/7. Theyre cancelling plans so they can look at their phone. Everyone in yr train carriage is scrolling their phone.Nobody knows whats real anymore and everybody is angry.

I make no claim that it was widely used before George R.R. Martin but claiming "sweet summer child" doesn't make sense outside of his setting is just dumb. Summer is a symbol of youth, innocence, ease, etc. all the time IRL- that's why so many people think it's a real expression!

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

People don’t really read fiction anymore and that is a problem; another problem, however, is that among the dwindling population of people who do read, there is a sizeable contingent who seem not to understand what books are for

Zeus: so two guys ran sub 2 hour marathons today Pheidippidies: holy shit, I guess I’m going to meet them any second now Zeus, unsure of how to soften the blow: No, they’re actually totally okay. In fact you were basically the only person to ever die from a marathon

I guess you could also make the case that people with a horse childhood and a car adolescence, or a radio childhood and a TV adolescence, sort of lived the same thing. But that doesn't seem as striking a difference.

I could just be saying this because I AM in that micro-generation but Xennials seem to be set apart from other generations in a way that has never been seen before and never will be seen again. Nobody else ever born will have an analog childhood and a digital adolescence.

It's weird group people born in 1981 and 1996 together as the same generation. They have virtually nothing in common. The technological and cultural gap between 1981 and 1996 is wider than the gap between 1900 and 1965.

(I'm not talking about politics though that's more of a wash than any side wants to admit. I mean in terms of the march of progress, like ask a cystic fibrosis patient if things are better now than in 2008. Basically figured out how to cure a bunch of cancer in that time too.)

The book itself is one of those hilarious in retrospect "overpopulation will kill us all" stories that were so popular at the time. Were there any SF books that predicted population cratering aside from infertility plagues? I can't think of any.
