El discurso de Alexander Zverev que tenés que escuchar. ❤️
🗣️ “Quiero agradecer a una persona más. Alguien que nunca ve realmente mis partidos, pero que es la persona más importante de mi vida tenística y de mi vida en general.
Cuando tu hijo de 4 años es diagnosticado con diabetes y los médicos te dicen que su vida y su práctica deportiva serán muy, muy limitadas, hace falta una madre muy fuerte para salir de ese consultorio y decir:
‘Mi hijo estará donde quiera estar. Si quiere ser tenista, será tenista. Si quiere hacer otra cosa, hará otra cosa. Pero esta enfermedad no nos va a definir’.
Mi madre es la persona más importante y fuerte que conozco. Hace falta una mujer increíblemente fuerte para hacer lo que ella hizo”.
Gen X in a nutshell:
Old enough to remember life before the internet.
Young enough to adapt to every new piece of technology thrown at them.
They grew up with "be home by dark" as the safety plan and "figure it out" as life advice.
They don't trust authority blindly, rarely ask for help, and can still sing every word to songs they haven't heard in decades.
Their backs hurt, their reading glasses keep disappearing, but their instincts are usually right.
Many are raising kids, caring for aging parents, navigating career changes, and somehow keeping everything moving.
They built resilience long before social media turned it into a hashtag.
Love them or hate them, Gen X might be one of the toughest generations around.
I don’t want technology to “evolve” another bloody inch. I hate that everything demands an app or QR code. I hate supermarket self-checkouts that scold you for “unexpected items” as if you have committed a hate crime with a packet of biscuits. I hate ringing a company and suddenly you’re trapped in a doom loop of an endless conversation with a robot before being left on hold long enough to waste an entire afternoon. I hate how local bank branches are closing and customer service is no longer communication with a bank manager but with an AI bot. I hate websites that force you to prove you’re human by enforcing a dystopian farce quiz to spot 3 sets of traffic lights in a fog of pixelated misery. I hate digital app passwords, verification codes and subscriptions. I hate how town centre car parks often no longer accept cash payments and the only way to park is by registering to another bloody app. I hate receiving unsolicited phone calls from an AI automated robot. And I really hate how the whole digital circus excludes half of the country’s pensioners simply because they never signed up to live inside a smartphone.
Rant over.
@SandyofSuffolk Just under 5ft here- I can’t buy regular length pyjamas at all, have to buy cropped ones which are full length on me or find a petite section- but there aren’t many these days!
Happy #InternationalCatDay to the true head of government.
While Prime Ministers come and go, Larry the Cat remains the undisputed ruler of Downing Street.
15 years on the job, 6 PMs outlasted, and still the most beloved resident in Westminster.
I don't want to “download the app” to pay for parking. I don't want to “create an account” to see a menu. I don't want to “provide feedback” on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash
