@Supersonic_Red This is me. 62. Definitely NOT a trad boomer.

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones. And honestly, it explains a lot. We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media. We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life. That is not a small thing. People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly. Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that. We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to. We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming. We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime. We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen. And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one. That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials. A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time. We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them. That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us. But we exist. We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age. And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

@libsoftiktok We called it the People's Republic of Cambridge back in the 90s. Nothing new.

The Cambridge, MA, City Council just voted to DISCONTINUE the use of ShotSpotter technology used to detect gunfire. This vote came after activists said it would impact Black people and illegals the most You can’t make this up.

@MarioNawfal Dude has some serious restraint.

@LeaderJohnThune What a piece of 💩 you are!

500 days ago, Republicans had a long to-do list. We’ve checked a lot of things off, but we still have more to do. And we’re not about to take our foot off the gas.

@FmrRepMTG Oh sweetheart... Like it says in your handle, "Former"... As in Has Been. Sit down.

The irony of Fortunate Son playing at an Ed Gallrein campaign event being hosted by the Secretary of the Department of WAR, who is on the verge of sending U.S. military troops on the ground into another foreign war, is screaming with America LAST hypocrisy. Vote for Thomas Massie, who was the ONLY Republican to vote with me to defund Israel and is against funding foreign wars!!! “Yeah-yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes Hoo, they send you down to war, Lord And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?" Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more" It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no military son, son, Lord It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no fortunate one, one”

@BillCassidy This is so awesome... You are now a certified member of the #FAFO group.

Thank you to the people of Louisiana who voted for me and believed in my vision for the future of our state.

Well said Scott!

@ihtesham2005 I mean, haven't we intrinsically known this for years. To memorize something, the more senses you use the easier it is. Reading out loud and writing it down, using all our senses. This is always been how we learn.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

@CollinRugg Preach! She needs to be a community organizer.

Chicago woman mocks Democrats by speaking in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, who say black people's voting rights are in danger. The woman also called out the commissioners one by one to their faces. "I'm 63 years old. I've been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting..." "So now you're all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they're scared to vote... all that junk, when you know it's not true."

Florida has gone from a swing state to a nearly 1.5 million voter advantage for Republicans. Our maps should reflect accurate representation for the people of this state. But none of it matters if Republicans don’t show up. You have to fight like you’re 10 points down every single day. We cannot leave anything to chance. We must earn every vote.

The creepy weirdo Thomas Massie's chances of winning tomorrow have gone from 71% ten days ago to 44% today! If he loses tomorrow, it will mark the biggest and fastest political collapse in the history of America!

It is nearly an impossible task to convey just how amazing kids are to someone who doesn’t have any. The best way I can describe it is this: You spend your whole life thinking you understand love. Then one night, you’ll find yourself standing in a room at 2 a.m., just watching your newborn baby breathe, just to make sure they are still alive. And you realize in that moment that you would burn the entire world to the ground for the slow rise and fall of that tiny chest. You become braver and absolutely terrified at the same time. You start looking for exits in restaurants and worrying about that weird stranger in the parking lot. You discover a capacity for anger and violence you never knew lived in you until you think you might need it because someone might hurt your kid. The first time you see your kid, the entire world changes. You realize you are meant to live for them… not for you. And it feels good. It feels right. Like a key to a door you have always been looking at but could never open. And one ordinary afternoon probably while you’re folding socks or something dumb, it will hit you… This is how your parents loved you. This is what she felt watching you sleep. This is what your dad felt every time he watched you walk out the door. And you had no idea. You spent your entire childhood with no idea.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ It’s so beautiful, words fail to describe it. It’s just right, it was always meant to be this way. ❤️
