The Lego Wire

Years ago, I watched the first season of The Wire and then gave up on it because the show is more or less like watching someone do their job in real-time. Especially in the first season. Boring… or so I thought. But after years of hearing everyone talk about how good it is, I gave it another shot and just finished season 5 last week. What a great show. I was wrong.

Well if you agree with that sentiment then I suspect you will enjoy this lego version. Too funny.

Are today’s boomers getting old and weirdly conservative or just bitter assholes?

Yesterday, the Globe & Mail published “Are today’s youth worse off or just lazy and entitled?” to troll retired boomers who are disappointed in their children for pageviews engage with their readership socially. I was having some fun thinking up alternative headlines. I’m so tired of reading about what a shitty generation I belong to. I know I can’t blame my parents for much of anything anymore, but I had no choices in the way I was raised—pretty damn good, by all accounts—but I get the feeling that not all the boomers are too happy about their parenting choices and perhaps feel that if they complain enough we will change or throw in the towel and do away with our self esteem, our understanding of the value of our limited time or even our desire to contribute something of substance.
