There will be a lot of people growing up whom lack a “common cultural touchpoint”.
They just don’t have that in their past
It’s wild to me that Gen Z is really the first generation who could easily grow up having never really been exposed to media/entertainment created before they were born. There’s just so much content now.
I used to watch Looney Tunes as a kid without really understanding that most of these cartoons were made like 40-50 years before I was born. They were just part of the lineup alongside the brand new cartoons I was watching.

Diablo 4 always had a decent amount to do for endgame. But the Lord of Hatred expansion not only adds to this, it gives it more of a reason:
Everything you’re doing earns exp/rep toward an improvement, not just your character but the dungeons/tasks themselves
Very smooth

The only thing I like less than work pronouns is when people change the skin colour of their teams emojis to anything other than default yellow

Hmmm according to the work survey, only “unwelcome requests for sexual favours” is sexual harassment.
Implying sexual favours that are welcomed are just fine…..
Hmmm

I finished Rambo Van Halen’s newest book, A Capable Man and Other Stories.
It’s cliche but it’s a brutally honest introspection and somehow it captures middle aged male life in 2026 almost perfectly.
We live in different places and have had different back stories and yet the final destinations feel so similar.
Thankyou.
If anyone is shocked that a rockstar styled billionaire who goes around signing tits had some extra marital sex, well I don’t know what to tell you
Make a change from hitting them :(
Australian officials have issued a reminder to shut your car doors after one wombat helped himself to several passenger seats. The notice followed complaints from visitors at a popular picnic area, where the same wombat reportedly kept climbing into parked cars while people unloaded bags or packed up lunch.
At first, staff thought they were receiving several calls about one incident. Then they realized the cars were different. The passenger wasn’t.
One couple waited nearly an hour before he climbed out. Another visitor said he settled into the seat before she’d even finished putting her things in the boot. Officials asked visitors to keep their doors closed and contact staff if they found an unexpected occupant.
After the photos spread online, a park spokesperson clarified the situation. “He hasn’t been abandoned. He lives here. Please stop calling to say someone’s left their wombat in a car.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

I’m reading my friend’s second book. I’ve never met him, one day maybe, but he is my friend.
He’s lived and continues to live an interesting life.
And he’s good at writing about it.
They’re stories about nothing and everything.
Go buy A Capable Man by @RamboVanHalen
Explained to my non political wife that the new WH chief of staff is essentially me and her response was “oh no”
