I did, him and Bob Ross. They’re both missed, and I hope their syndication can be a benefit to young people today. (**Edit** - though from what I’ve seen, the kids are alright. Certainly more compassionate and empathetic today than my cohort or generations before). Not sure if the shows still air, but some is on YouTube, and I donate to PBS monthly just in case.

Yeah. I grew up thinking all generations hate the younger generations. Then the younger generations get older and hate the younger younger generations. Nope. Turns out that was just a boomer thing. Gen X typically doesn't have opinions on anything. Millenials just hate the boomers, and Gen-Z just straight up aren't having kids. But I'm whats called a Xenial. Half genX, half millenial. And I've never thought of the younger generations as bad. I feel bad for them. 40 years before their birth, the world wasn't a huge dumpster fire. And then reagan happened, and things have been sliding downward ever since. By the time Gen-Z was born, it was already too late. Then on top of that, their childhood was centered around covid, and now trump being a massive dick. Just in general, at all times. So I don't get mad at the younger generations. I kinda feel bad for them. The world sucks, and it's the only world they've ever known.
