Catching up on Pop Culture, 3rd period
"Good morning, everybody." Was it morning? It was...day. Close enough. Jon gave them all a professional if slightly awkward nod. "This is...well, less a class than a learning opportunity, to hopefully help anybody who's unfamiliar with current culture in this area.
"Today, let's start by introducing ourselves and when and where we're from. My name is Jonathan Sims, and I'm from London in the UK, which is a different country from the one we're nominally in, but the same planet. I came here from...let's say functionally 2019, although for a few years previous I was too occupied to keep track of pop culture, so I'll be catching up on a few years." He nodded at the first student to continue.
After that, he nodded again. "Right. First thing to get acquainted with then is a phone." He held up his. "If you don't have one yet, you can come see mine or look over someone else's shoulder. These are very important these days, and not even primarily for making calls. Apps are the things on the screen, and there are some widely used ones, like Instagram, Twitter, and even god help us Tiktok, that are good to know your way around." Yes, Melanie, he knew what a meme was. "Let's all get accounts and learn our way around if you haven't yet, and try not to get swamped by all the trolling masquerading as discourse. Let me know if you need help."

Re: Introduce yourselves!
She paused, “I still have a bit of catching up to do with popular culture like movies and tv shows, I only found out recently that they made even more Space Battles movies,”
