OPEN POST: Ride, Ride, Ride, Hitchin' A Ride!

Image
It's hot and breezy today (the same could be said for that tramp Janine in Home-Ec!) so let's jump in my dad's new LeSabre convertible, go cruisin' and turn on the radio. There's bound to be something good playing. Ooooh, the new Carpenters song is on! So let's relax and have fun--after all, it's sunny, it's 1970 and it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credit: AK

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 4/6/2026-The Latchkey Vote: How Generation X Became America’s Most Conservative Generation!

Image
Generation X did not drift to the right by accident; long before politics, they were shaped by latchkey childhoods in the 80s and 90s that trained a specific emotional survival strategy. In countless “Anywhere, America” houses, kids came home to empty rooms, a key under the mat or on a string around their neck, and a TV for company instead of an attuned adult; they were fed and housed, but their inner lives went largely unnamed. Parents were overworked and emotionally unequipped, offering structure without intimacy, managing feelings instead of exploring them, teaching children to adapt silently: everything is fine, and if you aren’t, pretend you are, because help is not coming. What later got praised as toughness was early emotional self-reliance, hardened in the glare of divorce, AIDS, crime headlines, mass layoffs, and glossy consumer culture insisting that everything was “awesome.” That survival code followed Gen X into adulthood. When faced with economic instability, workplace ine...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Legendary La Lupe!

Image
Greetings, sloots, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, today with a sunny visit to "The Pearl of the Antilles," as it was once called, or "El Cocodrilo," which translates to "The Crocodile," since viewed from above, this is the country's shape on a map. I speak of Cuba, of course, from yesteryear to today, where, if its achingly slow rebirth isn't quashed by El Jefe de Covfefe, distinctive music has and will hopefully continue to flourish. Since my delicious, squeezable hubs is from Cuba, I've long known about the country's culture, food and music, all of which are practically inseparable. And lucky for all of us, DJ Li'l Scratch is bringing home the Cubano tonight at "Mamar Pinga," the Manor's popular after hours bar, club and Lechon Asado eatery. Plus there'll be lots of barn-burning music. Of course. When people think Cuban music, they invariably think of Gloria Estefan.  Which is understandable, e...

OPEN POST: The Psychology of Generation X (1965-1980): The Forgotten Feral Generation? What Do You Think?

Image
I am at the end range of Xennials (1977-1984), which means I experienced a mix of Generation X and Millennial (1981-1986) years, and I definitely have some characteristics of both. I am a hybrid. I am like an X-er because I do remember playing outside in the analog years. I remember freedom, boredom, call waiting, no digital world, toughing it out, being independent, self-reliant, non-conformist, and prize individuality.  I have no respect for corporations, and I don't expect special treatment or trophies for just being me. But I am like a Millennial in that I place a high value on experiences over material things, I am optimistic, social, fiscally cautious, like being in mentorships and fostering community workplace atmospheres, and driven by values such as sustainability, transparency, work/life balance, and social responsibility. My parents were very involved with me, cared a lot about my inner world, and I wasn't a latchkey kid.  Generation X is often referred to as The Fo...
