I think Gen X youth group and the one Millennials grew up with were two VERY different things, and I was exposed to both. I grew up with the church-specific brand (PYF, or Presbyterian Youth Fellowship). We did lock-ins, Super Bowl parties, rafting trips, even concerts (Bon Jovi in '86). Others...
huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 4d agoIn the 90s and 00s, churches invested millions in youth group, creating a parallel universe for christian teenagers to grow up in and, eventually, change the world. That was the plan anyway. What happened? My first cover story for @sojo.net.

This was every GOP ad when I was in Georgia for a conference in April. Then I visited Mom in Oxford and she's in the Memphis TV market, Tennessee ads are even worse. Can't WAIT for the Mississippi Gov. race next year. /s

“On the Fox TV musical series ‘Glee’ there is a direct correlation between the New Directions last competition episode in season four and the competition near the finale of the series, and it’s all connected to the 70s-80s rock band Styx. “Mr. Roboto” is performed by the competing show choir, whic-“

Did anyone else get a string of horror movie previews when viewing the ‘Hadestown’ pro shot, or did my movie theater just wrongly assume their audience?
Weird… @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social stopped showing up on my Spotify subscribed podcasts when it updates. I have to go search for it to get the new episode. Don’t have this problem with the Patreon version. Wonder what the solution is (besides not using Spotify…)

Mitch McConnell is currently denying Donald Trump the 53rd senate vote, and Andy Beshear is letting him. Why would we want to fuck that up again?

Stern@michaeljstern.bsky.social · 2w agoIf Andy Beshear does not push this to a conclusion that either has him appointing McConnell's replacement, or McConnell reappearing, Beshear will be out of Democratic politics. We need rabble-rousers, not the same quiet, proper Dems who keep losing.

My first year on the job, one of my first sessions was with a group of English Comp II students. Three things to know: 1) our virtual chat reference was in consortium with about a dozen other universities; 2) the lecturer I was working with had put the fear of God into her students good and early;
