“Nostalgia Folder”: 31 Pics That Might Bring Back A Memory You Forgot You Had

There’s a very specific feeling that hits when you see something like a Best Buy ad from 2001 or a school closings ticker and your brain just stops working for a second, fully absorbed in a memory you forgot about. That’s the entire premise behind the Twitter account Nostalgia Folder, which seems to specialize in exactly that kind of ambush. Remember those TI-108 calculators with the yellow caddy? Or GameCube stations at McDonald’s, which somehow really existed and somehow most of us forgot. Consider this fair warning that one of these pics will hit home personally for you. 1. via NostalgiaF older 2. via NostalgiaF older 3. via NostalgiaF older 4. via NostalgiaF older 5. via NostalgiaF older 6. via NostalgiaF older 7. via NostalgiaF older 8. via NostalgiaF older 9. via NostalgiaF older 10. via NostalgiaF older 11. via NostalgiaF older 12. via NostalgiaF older 13. via NostalgiaF older 14. via NostalgiaF older 15. via NostalgiaF older 16. via NostalgiaF older 17. via NostalgiaF older 18. via NostalgiaF older 19. via NostalgiaF older 20. via NostalgiaF older 21. via NostalgiaF older 22. via NostalgiaF older 23. via NostalgiaF older 24. via NostalgiaF older 25. via NostalgiaF older 26. via NostalgiaF older 27. via NostalgiaF older 28. via NostalgiaF older 29. via NostalgiaF older 30. via NostalgiaF older 31. via NostalgiaF older The post “Nostalgia Folder”: 31 Pics That Might Bring Back A Memory You Forgot You Had appeared first on Pleated Jeans.

RD80s News: ThunderCats.org has relaunched

Eyes to the skies, ThunderCats fans... the signal is back! After three years lost in the Third Earth wilderness, ThunderCats.org is loose again with a brand-new look and a pride of new features for the modern fandom.From Super7 and Mezco One:12 toys, Iron Studios statues, and Dynamite comics to new podcasts and publications featuring ThunderCats writers and crew members, so much is happening right now! There's never been a better time to relaunch the largest fan site and news source for all things ThunderCats.First launched in 2005 by an international team of ThunderCats fans, including current site director, Mark Sheard, under the name ThunderCats Lair, "the Org" has always been a collaborative effort. Collectors, artists, writers and web designers pooled their resources to build a home for cartoon and toy information, production materials, interviews and more, while also hosting community forums for fan conversation and engagement.With so much going on for the property, Mark and his team decided to relaunch the site to give the community a more modern home on the web."Fans have spread out across the internet," says community liaison Zack Ramadan. "In some ways that's been great! A constellation of specialized content creators has helped grow the fandom. But there's been no single trusted destination for both news and knowledge. The Org is that missing hub."The ThunderCats.Org brand has seen tremendous growth on Instagram over the past few years thanks to the efforts of social media manager Egmond du Plessis, whose #WeWantMoreThunderCats campaign captured fan and industry attention a decade ago ahead of Super7 acquiring the toy license. Over the past few years, Egmond has seen the fandom grow in new and exciting ways."New figures and comics have fans all over the world more excited than ever for the future of ThunderCats," says Egmond. "Relaunching the Org means those fans will have easier access to richer content, like interviews and reviews, and an easy way to talk about it on the revamped forums."Those discussions, with thousands of posts dating back twenty years, are fully preserved. Fans will be able to log back in (maybe after a quick password reset) and pick up where they left off. Logging in will also unlock new site features, like a personalized toy shelf currently in beta that will let fans track and share their collections. Integrations with merchants like BigBadToyStore will also make it easier for collectors to locate and purchase items they might be missing.The new ThunderCats.org is live now, with news and updates posting regularly. Bookmark the homepage, follow @thundercatsorg on socials and stop by the forums to shout, "ThunderCats, HO!"

Mick Fleetwood Turns 79 And Revisits His Wild Life Of Bankruptcy, Addiction, And Parties

Mick Fleetwood celebrates his 79th birthday on June 24, giving rock fans the perfect excuse to revisit a career filled with hit records, famous romances, and enough backstage chaos to inspire several movies. As the co-founder and longtime drummer of Fleetwood Mac, he witnessed nearly every dramatic chapter in the band’s history from behind his massive drum kit. According to Parade, this Mick Fleetwood birthday milestone marks more than his musical talent. Through divorces, addiction, financial trouble, and endless lineup changes, he remained the one constant in a group known almost as well for its personal drama as its timeless songs. Rather than hide those difficult years, Fleetwood has spoken openly about the mistakes and extraordinary experiences that shaped his life. Fleetwood Mac Turned Romantic Chaos Into Rock History AdMedia Fleetwood co-founded the group in London in 1967 alongside Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, and Bob Brunning. Originally rooted in British blues, the band repeatedly transformed as members came and went. Fleetwood stayed through every reinvention, eventually helping guide the group toward its most commercially successful era after Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined in 1974. Fleetwood Mac, (Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, Rick Vito, Christine McVie, John McVie, Billy Burnette), circa early 1990s/Everett Collection That lineup released Fleetwood Mac in 1975, followed by the blockbuster Rumours two years later. However, the music emerged from a remarkably difficult period. Buckingham and Nicks were ending their relationship, Christine and John McVie were divorcing, and Fleetwood’s marriage was also collapsing. He later became involved with Nicks, adding another complicated romance to an already tense situation. Somehow, the band turned those breakups and betrayals into enduring songs, while Fleetwood’s controlled drumming held the emotionally charged recordings together. As Mick Fleetwood Celebrates His 79th Birthday, He Recounts Surviving Addiction, Bankruptcy, And Constant Band Drama FLEETWOOD MAC on March 3, 2009, in St. Paul, MN, at the Xcel Energy Center.

He later wrote candidly about his cocaine addiction, lavish spending, and financial collapse. Although Fleetwood Mac sold millions of albums and filled arenas, his lifestyle eventually contributed to bankruptcy. His memoirs revealed a musician who enjoyed the rewards of fame but also paid heavily for years of excess. The band itself remained difficult to manage. Musicians departed, returned, and clashed over creative decisions, yet Fleetwood repeatedly tried to bring everyone back together. Stevie Nicks once credited him with holding the group together, while Buckingham said the drummer’s performance could shape the quality of the entire band. Fleetwood became its emotional center as well as its rhythmic foundation. Beyond the group, he released solo projects, played on his bandmates’ recordings, and pursued acting and business ventures. Fleetwood Mac entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, confirming its enormous influence on rock music. Following Christine McVie’s death in 2022, the surviving members expressed doubt that the band could continue in the same form. Even without another reunion, Fleetwood’s place in music history remains secure. As he turns 79, his story offers a reminder that Fleetwood Mac’s polished harmonies often came from deeply unpolished circumstances. He survived the wild years, admitted his mistakes and helped create music that continues to attract new generations of listeners.   Next up: Happy Heavenly Birthday, June Lockhart: The NASA Honor Many Fans Never Knew About The post Mick Fleetwood Turns 79 And Revisits His Wild Life Of Bankruptcy, Addiction, And Parties appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
