📼 VINTAGE BYTES | 1986 vs. 2026

1986: Democrats flipped 8 Senate seats.
2026: At least 7 projected flips.

40 years. Two second-term Republican presidents.

1986: We watched results on TV.
2026: We watch everyone argue on our phones. 😂

📼 GEN X ELECTION DAY

1986: Too young to vote. Pretend ballots at school. Results on TV. Then back outside on our bikes.

2026: Old enough to vote. Everyone's a political expert. Nobody stops arguing.

I kinda miss the pretend ballots. 😂

🪶 WEIRD BUT TRUE

In 1932, Australia sent soldiers with MACHINE GUNS to stop emus destroying farmland.

The birds scattered. A gun jammed. The operation became a national joke.

Nearly 100 years later, the score is still:

Emus: 1
Australia: 0 😂

📼 VINTAGE BYTES | Nov. 3, 1986

40 years ago, a Lebanese magazine exposed secret U.S. arms sales to Iran.

Then came the Contra connection—and a full-blown Reagan White House scandal.

No Twitter. No smartphones. Just one hell of a news story.
