It’s hardly been three days, and already the shoving match between Google and Microsoft over this — not to mention the growing list of greed-sparked suitors for Yahoo’s hand — is really, really old.

To provide comic relief, Luckie & Company‘s Rethink Everything launched Yahoocrosoft. The site hosts a spoof news article where — in some insane universe not far from our own — Yahoo counteroffers to buy Microsoft for $44.7 billion.

We’re hoping the article will at some point make way for spoofy cartoons, which can’t possibly be far behind.

I spent my entire adult life planning for retirement and now at 65 I’m here and it feels like I’m watching a movie of someone else’s life in real-time — I know intellectually that this is my house, my wife, my days, but I can’t shake the sensation that I’m not really in it

I gave my kids everything I never had growing up and somewhere around age 63 I realized that’s exactly why they can’t appreciate it — they have no reference point for what life looks like without a parent who absorbs everything so they don’t have to

Psychology says the reason older adults return to the music of their teens and twenties isn’t sentimentality, it’s neurological self-medication — those songs are stored in a part of the brain that bypasses current distress and delivers them directly to a period when the nervous system felt safe, and pressing play on a 1970s album is the cheapest and most effective emotional regulation tool most people over 60 have access to
