The culture wars continue. The old farts are making an assault on Tik Tok. Gen Z should learn a lesson about Boomer paranoia but probably not.

Our pathetic Supreme Court is not going to review a ban on drag shows at a Texas university. Which makes me laugh. Part of the amusement of drag shows is that they thumb their nose at society’s gender norms, and this kind of negativity toward them increases the effect. The more bans, the more outrageously entertaining they are.

Mr. Douthat in the NYT today chimes in on the so-called “happiness gap” between left and right young people. I guess we all get our turn speculating on this, starting with the definition of “happiness”. But I’ll ignore that for now. Let’s just assume “leftist” kids are more down on life. Just saying “right” kids are shallower than “left” kids is too easy, and I hate easy. If perhaps “purpose” is the wellspring of “happiness”, then “right” kids have an easy access to it with their God and Country. Do left kids have a harder road?

Talking to Mrs. Dredd today and she thinks the Millennials and Gen Z think differently then the older generations (and that includes Gen X) and what we’re seeing is a “cultural revolution” like the 60’s. I’m not seeing it, but one can hope.
