I feel this on so many levels. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Alright, I need help. I’ve officially hit that dreaded moment where nothing on streaming looks interesting anymore. I’ve scrolled, I’ve searched, I’ve stared at the same lists over and over. And somehow, every option feels stale. It’s not like I don’t have time to watch something. I do. I just...

Man, I want to believe in the Thunder. I really do. But after last night’s loss to the Pacers, it’s hard to feel confident. OKC had the game in their hands: up by 15 points in the fourth quarter, looking like they were about to set the tone for the Finals. And then? Collapse. The Pacers chipped...

Gen X has a complicated relationship with working from home. On one hand, we like the flexibility, as it lets us handle responsibilities without feeling chained to an office. On the other hand, we were raised in a culture that valued showing up as proof of commitment, so remote work sometimes...

Gen X doesn’t really do mental health the way Millennials and Gen Z do. Not because we don’t have struggles, we absolutely do, but because we were raised to push through, suck it up, and get the job done. We don’t talk about burnout; we "manage" it. We don’t dwell on stress; we just keep moving...

Alright, let’s talk GRUNGE, the music that slapped the world in the face and made everything sound real again. Mother Love Bone? Absolute legends. Pre-grunge, sure, but that’s splitting hairs. Their sound was dripping with everything that made the genre special before it even had a name. Andrew...

Does anyone remember Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years? I used to watch that cartoon every morning on Channel 11 when I was a kid, absolutely glued to the screen. Back then, it felt like the peak of sci-fi greatness -- epic space battles, mysterious villains, a brooding hero with...

I’ve officially reached the age where kids are unintentionally mocking my childhood by reviving every trend I lived through. Take the haircut, this broccoli top situation. The voluminous, curly mop paired with a close fade? Yeah, had that in fourth grade. Thought I was the coolest kid alive...

Pardon me while I rant for a minute -- Dementia is a thief. A slow, deliberate one that doesn’t just take memories but chips away at the person you knew, leaving someone familiar yet entirely different in their place. My mother has dementia, and every day is a ride I never signed up for. It's...

Like a lot of men my age, I’ve slowly morphed into Hank Hill, courtesy of beer and a diet that would make any nutritionist weep. And now, I’m trying to get back on track only to realize it’s not nearly as easy as it was 20 years ago. Shocking, right? The metabolism slowdown? It’s real. The way...

Tacoma is a highly underrated city, IMO. If you love nature, it's really an awesome place to live. Here's a few shots from Point Defiance Park.

Hi everyone! I'm a 47 year-old X'er from Tacoma, Washington. I've been married to my husband Mike (yes, I was gay WAY before it was cool) for 18 years. Currently our hobbies are standing up without cracking and learning to workout again. It's a challenge, but we're enjoying it somehow. I...

Welcome to Dead Media Club: a forum for Generation X to come together, look back, and keep moving forward without losing what made us who we are. We’re the in-between generation. Grew up analog, adapted to digital. Raised ourselves on reruns, record stores, and real-life hangouts. We made...

If you are feeling suicidal now, please stop long enough to read this. It will only take about five minutes. I do not want to talk you out of your bad feelings and this isn’t a religious pitch. I am not a therapist or other mental health professional - only someone who knows what it is like to...
