Today’s post is going to be unapologetically catty. I’ve been quasi-hate-reading a blog called Robby Robin’s Journey for awhile now. The proprietor, Jane Fritz, is the smug-looking lady who inspired some of my Boomer rant last year. She came to my attention when she wrote a quintessentially Boomer comment on the excellent piece “The Boomer Mentality,” a great post by Erin over at Existential Ergonomics. Erin is way more intellectually generous than I am; after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I’ve washed my hands of being generous towards progressives.
Except, of course, I’m writing this post, which probably suggests I care more than I wish.
Regardless, Old Lady Fritz announced on Monday, 6 October 2025, that she is calling it quits in the self-indulgent post “The time has come. I can’t wait any longer.” It’s her parting salvo with some Leftist political cartoons that compete with another to be as cringy and sanctimonious as possible (also—why do these old lady bloggers write titles that consist of two or more sentences? It’s like writing the text of an e-mail in the subject line).
