    But younger I suspect.

    No that’s also actually part of the bit I’m not that old either. Just feels old transitioning at my current age.

    But the Magnificent Seven is a real hoot without ads or editing. I watched it with my grandfather I think when I was a kid on VHS. Obviously it’s a rip-off of Seven Samurai by Kurosawa. But that movie rules so that’s fine.

      Well, how dare you - young lady. In all seriousness things have been a nostalgic for me recently. At another site I posted about the first mixtape I made when the word wasn’t even invented yet. And yesterday I posted a vid of a kid with a skateboard getting tear gassed by the pigs but he showed tremendous resolve by very slowly walking away and then equally slowly turning around and giving them the finger. I wonder if he was in pain and/or puked after that.

      Something twigged in my memory. In the Mesozoic I must have seen a similar but super-tame fictional version of a kid facing off against the cops. The kid surely didn’t give them the bird. He must have only gotten the last word. Reality hits so much harder. I saw “Mesozoic” in post by Heather Thomas. She was the stuntwoman on the Fall Guy.

      Ninja edit. I preset my oven. I remembered I have Stouffer’s Spinach Soufflé in my freezer. It reminds me of 1970s and more so the 1980s. It’s a comfort food and I need a break from my doomscrolling of pigs on parade in LA. I want to be optimistic but things just get worse and worse.
