23 ain't what it used to be
One of the fun things about My Adventures with Superman is that it SEEMS like they've de-aged the core cast, but Clark is 22-23 years old, Jimmy is by implication the same age, and Lois might be a year older.
That's about the same age that Clark and Lois were way back when Superman originally debuted.* (Jimmy, of course, got aged up by about a decade.)
It's just that in 1938, a 22-year-old was assumed to be An Adult With A Real Job that probably didn't require a college degree, and in 2023, a 22-year-old is A Kid Fresh Out of College Working An Unpaid Internship.**
In 1938, a 22-year-old professional would probably have his own shitty-to-modest apartment. In 2023, a 22-year-old intern would have to split a studio apartment and sleep in a bunk bed.
And, yes, it's worth remembering that 1938 was The Great Depression.
*(The early episodes of the radio show regularly refer to Clark as "the young man.")
**(I don't think Perry would expect the Trio to do scutwork around the office for nothing, but those intern slots probably don't get much more than a minimal stipend.)

I take back everything I ever said about the musical ❤️ if y'all hadn't come along and pissed off Tim Burton this bad, we would not be here today. Bless each and every one of your precious little hearts. And thank you. Truly.

Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin' (Official Audio)
"... The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is rapidly fadin’ And the first one now will later be last For the times they are a-changin’".

I see pictures of the ‘50s, the ‘60s and the ‘70s and I see there was a difference. But I don’t think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there’s some kind of change. But after you’ve been around awhile, they both seem unnatural. It seems like we’re going in a straight line, but then you start seeing things that you’ve seen before. Haven’t you experienced that? It seems we’re going around in circles.
Bob Dylan • Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel

There is no such thing as a Holy war, there is no good God that supports war.
"But now we got weapons Of chemical dust If fire them, we're forced to Then fire, them we must One push of the button And a shot the world wide And you never ask questions When God's on your side Through many a dark hour I've been thinkin' about this That Jesus Christ was Betrayed by a kiss But I can't think for you You'll have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot Had God on his side. So now as I'm leavin' I'm weary as Hell The confusion I'm feelin' Ain't no tongue can tell The words fill my head And fall to the floor That if God's on our side He'll stop the next war" - Robert Zimmerman, Robert Dylan, Bob Dylan.

edit 2: leak is FAKE everyone, go home
so of course i'm keeping up with the pokemon leaks and
I KNEW IT
I FUCKING KNEW IT
I SAID THE KANTO FAVORITISM STARTED BECAUSE OF BW'S BACKLASH AND WAS GOING TO MAJORLY STAGNANTETHE SERIES FOR YEARS AND NOBODY BELIEVED ME
update 113 notes later: might be fake, idk
#doesnt sit right if i don't edit this with the updated info#press t to throw tomatoes at everyone who praises kanto pandering or says it doesn't exist#i am NOT over people forgiving gigantoobie charizard just because 'he looks cool'#NO YOURE SUPPORTING THE DEATH OF THIS SERIES#i am also never forgiving people who hated bw and then turned around when people started saying they were really good#i know who you are. i argued with your type ever since i was a child.#literally every major flaw in this series comes back to fan pandering even the rushed games too#games are just spinning their wheels and not doing anything new?? the one time they did they got MAJOR backlash of course nothing's changin#not a lot of new pokemon in new gens?? what gen had the biggest amount of new pokemon.#remember how people complained usum wasnt on the switch when the switch had like 2 nintendo games on it and we got lets go and then swsh???#pepperidge farm remembers#i'm a very bitter pokemon fan lol
