#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Smithereens - 2011 (2025 rerelease). The bands first album of new material since 1999 was well received by critics and fans. Then Pat died in 2017, but they continue to rock on. A new album is coming soon, too. RIP Pat! #music #powerpop youtube.com/playlist

Now that Mastodon is out of the crossposting loop, let’s see if this works. If so, then I’ll know that a proxy issue was at the core of my crossposting issues and can finally work to resolve it! Back to posting soon, I hope 😁 #troubleshooting

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Tower of Power - 50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater (2018). This show is T-I-G-H-T!! I cannot name all the amazing performers, so be sure to look them up on Wikipedia. #music #funk #soul www.youtube.com/watch

Douglas Adams would have hated this… and Elon… and everything going on right now in the US and UK. #tesla #elonmusk #hhgttg #capitalism boingboing.net/2025/03/2…

Well, duh. #TFG 45 was a chaotic, disorganized mess desperately grasping for more support, no matter what color. TFG 47 is now laser focused on making #America white “again” (PROTIP: America was never all white. Ever.) #uspol #racism #NASA #space arstechnica.com/space/202…

Hmm. This one is interesting. #MacWorld is suggesting that #Apple’s 2010 acquisition of LiquidMetal may be critical for their folding phone. The name refers to the process of making extremely precise components, ICYWW, and might be used for the hinge. #tech #iPhone www.macworld.com/article/2…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steve Miller Band - Austin City Limits (2011 or 2012… maybe). The Space Cowboy is still touring today, at the young age of 81. The visuals are 360p, but it’s more than good enough. Great show. #music #rock #blues www.youtube.com/watch

Anyone who would advocate for the arrest of John Cusack and call him a “marginal success” clearly has no sense, an agenda, or both. These are the same people claiming Tesla protests are terrorism and school shootings are normal. #uspol #fascism #capitalism boingboing.net/2025/03/2…

Yes. Yes, it has. #apple #tech #security 9to5mac.com/2025/03/2…

Well, I’m an #Apple user and I can easily say that I will never consider a #GM product of any kind if I am disallowed from using my preferred platform. Last I checked, 35% of mobile devices users in the US are using #iOS devices. Solid marketing, dorks. #tech #cars #stupid www.theverge.com/news/6337…
