ANNOUNCING... Datalounge University!!!

Like most of our readers, Datalounge is ever-expanding.

First we gave you DLTV (THE streaming service for extremely online older gay men); then we brought you Camp DL (where caftans are ALWAYS optional!!); and now we're proud to announce that we're entering the realm of education with Datalounge University (or DLU), the very first fully non-accredited institution of higher learning specifically designed for the gay in YOU!!

Whether you're a just barely legal twink, fresh off the locker room floor and thirsting for knowledge, or a bitter old queen with everything behind you, wanting one more chance to get those skool dayz right, our faculty (including a star-studded array of celebrity adjunct professors!) will leave you flushed and sweating at the breadth of knowledge on offer at any age. Housing is still available; so enroll today!!!

(Note: Since DLU is in the experimental stage, we are welcoming suggestions for courses and instructors. Please leave any and all suggestions, even feedback, below!)

[bold] Societyology 301. Depiction Of The Upper Classes In Midcentury American Media [/bold]

A look at the development of older gay men's obsession with social class. We will start by looking at how the upper classes were portrayed in movies and magazines of the 1930s, 40s and 50s, with an emphasis on the WASP aristocracy in smaller American cities. We will then examine the portrayal of the both the upper classes and nouveau riches in television series of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, culminating with their portrayal during the Reagan years in shows like "Dynasty" and "Dallas" and in parodies like "The Preppy Handbook."

[bold] Millennials And Zoomers: A Beginner's Guide [/bold]

People under the age of 40 can be confusing. They unversed in Madonna, let alone Judy and Liza. Many of them were warmly embraced by friends and family when they came out and they are actually friends with heterosexuals and don't feel the need to live in the gayborhood anymore. In this course we will cover things like Feelings, Safe Spaces, TikTok, Snapchat, Uber, Grubhub, and Sexual Fluidity. [bold] Mastering Digital Media 101[/bold] or an equivalent course are a prerequisite for enrollment.

Will it prohibit non-penised persons, and persons with surgically attached faux penises? Will it restore the monastic traditions of early Oxford and Cambridge, and infuse the curriculum with a noble Hellenism, including via pool parties celebrating a 'Higher Sodomy'?

Help! I only have one slot left in my first-semester schedule, and I can't decide which course to take! Should I sign up for The World Is DEAD To Me -a look at history through the gay lens, or should I opt for Advanced Pron: How to Spot GFP Actors. I know that's an upper division course, but I've already taken Body Nazi I and II, so I think I can handle it.
