Going on a trip? Don’t let COVID-19 crash your summer plans. Wearing an N95 mask protects you from respiratory viruses like COVID-19. Consider wearing a mask in indoor and crowded places like airports and planes.

No matter what distraction tactics/witch hunts and finger pointing about Covid happen going forward….

We needed a high level of response and if we didn’t get it, 100s of millions more would have died. We still need better response and management but the initial response was completely justified.
@South_Gradient Dude in 1971 I was 15. My husband who I met 10 years later was 20 living in a 2 bed 1 bath apartment with 4 other guys and working 2 jobs. You are talking about the Silent Generation.
My mask hits totally differently with the wildfire smoke being what it is. Most people seem to think it’s a good idea, even if they won’t do it themselves. Ok for smoke. Not ok for viruses. Right then.

Did you know the giant arrowhead on the mountainside in San Bernardino isn't man-made? ⛰️
The Arrowhead landmark is located in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains, north of Wildwood Park. It measures 1,375 feet in length, 449 feet in width, and covers approximately 7.5 acres. Although the almost perfect outline appears to be man-made or artificial, the phenomenon is considered natural.
The landmark also holds cultural significance. For Native Americans who inhabited the region, the Arrowhead landmark pointed to hot mineral springs that were considered sacred ground. Today, the landmark is designated California Historical Monument #977 and inspired the names of Lake Arrowhead and other entities, as well as the seal and logo for San Bernardino County.

@doqholliday@Kariserenity You couldn’t afford my home if I put it on the market. My 39 yr old son lives with me for free he pays his personal bills and helps me physically around the house. He will inherit the house when I die but will have to sell it because he won’t be able to pay property taxes.
One of the most beautifully crafted films of all time..
The Fall follows a hospitalized stuntman who begins telling an elaborate fantasy tale to a young girl, as the boundary between imagination and reality gradually fades away.
Directed by Tarsem Singh, the film is widely regarded as one of the most visually stunning movies ever created, known for its vivid colors, surreal landscapes, and breathtaking imagery filmed in real locations across the world.
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.
