More ludicrous bullshit from the Bullshitter-in-Chief. He keeps popping up with new “gems” of ideas so regularly that I’m quite sure he and his cronies have a list of distractions to keep the infosphere busy and eyes off what they’re doing. #uspol #TFG #Alcatraz www.axios.com/2025/05/0…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simple Minds - Once Upon a Time (1985). I may not recall correctly, but I have a feeling that this is one of the few albums ever released where every single track got regular radio time. #music #altrock #StadiumRock #80s #KROQ youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: R.E.M. - Murmur (1983). I had this album on heavy rotation for months after its release. To this day “9-9” remains my favorite track. For ‘83 it was a very unique sound. #music #altrock #KROQ #80s www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Pete Townshend - White City: A Novel (1985). A concept album about a low-income housing estate in West London and the hard lives people lived there, it also had anti-Apartheid vibes, salient to the times. #music #80s #rock www.youtube.com/watch

If you like #Android and have an #ARM Mac I suppose you’ll be hyped to hear about the new #Apple Silicon compatible versions of #BlueStacks. So now you can play all those games being advertised on TV by movie and TV stars. whee. #videogames #emulation #macOS 9to5mac.com/2025/05/0…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Mr. Mister - Pull Expanded Edition (1989-2010). Recorded in from 1989 to 1990, the band’s fourth album was rejected by RCA and shelved until Richard Page got the rights back. It’s a must-have album. #music #pop #progpop #poprock youtube.com/playlist

After a stint with an #iPhone 14 Plus (big mistake) I’ve gone back to my 12 Mini. Even with its reduced capacity battery I get at least a full day, mostly because I’m not glued to it and turn off everything unnecessary. The same should be the case for a 17 Air. #Apple 9to5mac.com/2025/05/0…

One of the most unique and original #music videos I’ve seen in some time, at least since MUTEMATH’s Blood Pressure. I don’t count Ok Go, as they’re in a different class entirely. Fascinating music, as well. #BenCaplan #rock #pianorock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Midnight Oil - Red Sails in the Sunset (1984). IIRC the Oils broke into the US radio market with three tracks from this album and would set them up for their next release that would become a blockbuster. Great band! #music #KROQ www.youtube.com/watch

Ok. I didn’t expect this… Some context: I have a group of friends I chat with on #Matrix and I’d shared that I was wanting to replace my #AppleWatch with a #RePebble Core 2 Duo, so one of my pals had #AI generate this song for me. #music #shenanigans #funny suno.com/s/mcvmVRW…
