I miss Rik Mayall, and in the days of un-PC comedy “The New Statesman” was an absolute classic. Here he is as the psychotic MP Alan B’Stard, congratulating his assistant Piers Fletcher-Dervish in his own special way. (NB: Piers is played by Michael Troughton. Son of Patrick, the second Dr. Who!)

#TIL the term #yuppie, or at least the "yup" part, is an #acronym for "young #urban #professional". While the sort of people I interview in #rural #Louisiana for my #research are obviously not #yuppies -- I blame my lack of knowledge on the term on that -- a surprising number of these #francophones and #creolophones are white collar #professionals, specifically many are #teachers, #principals, and #lawyers.

soooooo #Indivisible is going to make “ageing WHITE hippies” their battle cry, right? because the only cool boomers were the #hippies, and if y’all are paying any attention to the #Zillennial youth, you KNOW hippies are their vibe.

i would go one step further and ask all #GenX to get out your DIE #YUPPIE SCUM t-shirts or print new ones.

#MAGA and their #corporatist bootlickers in the Democratic Party are all yuppie scum.

Welcome to the Boomtown May 1, 2025

45 years ago this month (1980), Chicago Magazine’s Dan Rottenberg used the word yuppie for the first time in print. Below is an article the magazine published for the term’s 35th anniversary. #80s #yuppie #DanRottenberg #Chicago
