"Generation Jones" is a nickname for two generational subsets: late boomers and early Xers. Our cohort grew up in a different political, social & economic world, with our own memories & experiences. #generationjones is a celebration of us. More to come! #history #nostalgia #memories #society

"'Whether it will be of help to the ‘anti nukes’ or not, I can't say,' Reagan wrote ... 'My own reaction was one of our having to do all we can to have a deterrent & to see there is never a nuclear war' "

If you want Bluesky to have a lot of energy (and have more news folks) you have to start following a lot of them, so that you can create a lot of discussions and cross-pollination, so to speak. Threads hates engagement, and X has drowned it in trolls.

I'm not plumping for the already-big accounts, just trying to spread around the connections.
Also, many of the RFT social media fam are here, and by definition they're worth a follow, including @thomastell.bsky.social, who is head of security and phasers people who bring up the Fairness Doctrine.

"Generation Jones is a term for people born between 1954 and 1965, who are considered a distinct generation between the Baby Boomers and Generation X" I will die on this hill.

I was born in 1958 ("Generation Jones") on Long Island, NY. I currently live in Upstate NY, but previously lived in NC, WI, and MA.

I'm here because this seems to be where people I "follow" on Twitter (which I haven't been on in over a year, but still have my account) are migrating to.
