@cdarwin@c.imThe median home buyer is 59 years old.
That may sound like a shocking statistic, but it’s part of a trend.
In 2020, the median home buyer was 47 years old, which at the time was also an all-time high.
Here’s another shocking statistic:
The median down payment on a house in 2025 for first time homebuyers surpassed $40,000
— exceeding the median net worth of Americans under 35.
Americans once went in search of their starter homes in their 20s,

@shriramk@mastodon.socialBeen doing code-reviews all week. (What a way to spend sabbatical!) It seems like almost *nobody* pronounces "GUI" as "gooey" any longer? They all say gee-you-i. Is this a generational thing, Brown thing, …?
@stefan@gardenstate.socialYou are currently on a generational spaceship that can break if you don't treat it correctly.

@lpryszcz@genomic.social'The interval between great-power wars in Europe from 1648 to 1945 averaged around forty years. That’s how long it takes for the generational memory of the last war to fade from the bodies of the people who vote in the next one. The post-1945 peace in Europe is the longest stretch in recorded history, which means we have a decade or two before the generation that could say "I remember" no longer exists in political life.
What happens then, is what always happens.'

@gwire@mastodon.socialIt's stating the obvious, but most of the stuff being promoted on YouTube is so *mean-spirited*.
This isn't some kind of generational/cultural dismissal, this is the outcome of specific choices by engineers of the world's biggest advertising company.
And now it's AI generated regional accents delivering xenophobia, AI generated women delivering male chauvinism. Non-stop toxic cartoon propaganda.

@cjust@infosec.exchange @cdarwin@c.imIt would take a small pickup for Democrats to gain control of the House, where they hold four fewer seats than Republicans, with three vacancies.
Winning back the Senate is a bigger lift; they would have to gain four seats, and this year’s map has them mostly playing defense of the ones they hold.
Given how many districts and states are safely in the hands of one party or the other,
the vast majority of congressional races will effectively be over when a primary win…
