Oh yeah, we've got cool poo poo going on. All we need is a big war! Maybe a global famine or something. This virus thing just ain't doing it for me. Especially since I'm still working through it from the office.

I think it was Lenin (maybe Trotsky?) who said, "There are decades when nothing happens, and weeks when decades happen." I'm not so sure about that first part, but the second part feels pretty true right now.

I remember haughty nerds aghast that Millennials were nostalgia-bombing Power Rangers. And Gen-Xers were legit worried about nostalgia-bombing Reagan-era dreck like Transformers, GI Joe, and He-Man. The nerds of today will attach to some dumb poo poo and try to make it retro-chic, and might even succeed.
