I was reminded of this last night during a conversation.
In adolescence, when my sibling came home from college, he had a wooden case of proper mix tapes I listened to when he wasn’t home. They worked at a radio station and had cool friends so I knew there would be many goodies. It was a break from my terrible mixes.

When someone you least expect to join Facebook finally joins, it feels like that scene in Titanic where Rose dies and is back on the ship, being greeted by all the deceased folk. “Welcome! We’re all together again. And we’re dead.”
