Hey, GenX! Maybe we should keep up with new stuff: music, movies, books, and trends. I'm Lydia, deciding to stay relevant. You?

When was the last time a short story made you cry? I'm reading the collection *Rabbit Test by Nebula Award winner Samantha Mills, due out in April. Her beautiful story "Strange Waters" just made me get something in my eye. These stories are fire. #booksky @samtasticbooks.com #netgalley

I have been carefully shielding myself from Olympic spoilers so I can watch the Men’s Figure Skating in prime time and cheer for Ilia Malinin, because I know from all of literature and myth that well-articulated hubris is a solid strategy and never fails. #olympics #figureskating

But since we’re judging based on fashion, how would we rearrange those medals?
Canada: 🥇
USA: 🥈
France: 🎈
USA wins our hearts but that dress on Piper Gilles was just a wow.

Fashion vibe in the men’s short program: I tore my outfit, I forgot my iron, I somehow got really dirty, and I just wrapped myself up in some brown rags I found. #figureskating #olympics

Sorry, Budweiser, but the horse-befriends-eagle Super Bowl ad just looks like one of those AI videos where a cat rides a polar bear or a woman in a kayak rescues a drowning leopard and trains him to be a defense attorney.

Rita Wilson released a new single, "Sound of a Woman." It's theatrical, with a string section and lots of scene and emotion, like it came out of the beginning of the third act of a musical. The video is full of wistful restraint. Women are tired. #musicsky #ritawilson #feminism

Did you know Paramore lead singer's Hayley Williams has a new project called Power Snatch? Their song, "Assignment," is talk rock. It's dry, wry, and fly:
"Always men, why men?
I don't even like them, on thе whole
Just as a concept."
I like it. It taps on my shoulder. #hayleywilliams #musicsky

Arlo Parks' new song "Heaven" has fully transported me. It's a let's-party-til-dawn song, but so ethereal and cool and restrained. Like drops on a pond. Immediately put it on repeat. #musicsky #arloparks #newmusic

I love Sombr. Not sorry! Disco ball at the Grammys, gangly and disarming, serving supermodel and goofball at the same time, and his new song, "Homewrecker," is adorable. GenX had "Jessie's Girl" -- well this makes Rick Springfield sound like a disrespectful jerk. #sombr #homewrecker #musicsky

What’s in my earbuds right now. Spooky, layered, and tense. Peter Pan but it’s set at fictional Neverland Ranch. Twisty storytelling and intricate construction. #nowhereburning #netgalley @catrionaward.bsky.social

Ready for more from The Muppet Show. Putting a lot of our old favorites on camera was a great idea! I’m glad Miss Piggy hasn’t gotten over herself, and that Kermit still doesn’t let anything get him down when he’s out in front of that curtain. Bravo, Disney! Fire up a whole season. #muppetsky

Amazingly there were two songs called “Dandelion” released last week. Dogpark’s tune is tight, but Ella Langley’s is better because an extended metaphor for a girl’s identity beats an extended plea for a girl’s attention. #musicsky #ellalangley #dandelion

If Sia’s song “Fist Fighting a Sandstorm” (re-released this week to celebrate its 10th anniversary) sounds familiar, it could be that Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” (2013) is in the same key, at the same BPM, and has the same chords, and the same melodic hook.

If you’ve ever wondered, “What even is the patriarchy?” then Sofia Isella is coming at you with an Old Testament reading in one hand and a heavy flashlight in the other. Her brilliant, unnerving new song, “Numbers 31:17-18” must be heard. #epsteinfiles #musicsky #sofiaisella

Best lyric from a new song this week:
“The water is not in love with the cup.”
From “Good Girl” by Paris Paloma. So many great lines in this song.

There are two writers credited as “lyricists” for the new John Summit song, “LIGHTS GO OUT.”
The entire lyric is this:
“Where do we go when the lights go out?
When the f’n lights go out?”
I don’t dispute it’s a brave ontological shout into the abyss, but who wrote what?

It was kinda weird encountering the new Noah Kahan song for the first time as a Mastercard commercial during the Grammys.
It’s a road trip song. Skippy beat, lyrics everyone can easily mumble along to, mildly but not uncomfortably relatable. Everyone has that friend.
