#Censorship isn’t limited to #socialnetworks. Last year there were nearly 300 #internet shutdowns in 54 countries, the worst on record. I wonder how long it will take #TFG & Co to try that here. #politics #uspol #fascism #tech www.axios.com/2025/02/2…
Alec, who runs the popular Technology Connections channel on #YouTube, posted a new video today discussing the very critical problem of #humanity losing our #agency and critical thinking skills to the #algorithm and how to fix it. #tech #internet www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: dada - El Subliminoso (1996). Another killer LA band that I used to have on heavy rotation. Michael Gurley (G) and Joie Calio (B) both sang lead with great harmonies, with Phil Leavitt on drums. #music #altrock www.youtube.com/watch

#Musk and #TFG and the #MAGA masses are so accustomed to lying and getting away with it, they just spew meaningless garbage without a care in the world? Something now immediately contradicts something said a week or so ago? Who cares! It’s not like anyone gives a damn, anyway, and if they do there’s nothing they can do to stop it, so again… who cares!
Take #Xitter’s #CommunityNotes as an example. They were great because Musk didn’t need to pay people to keep toxic shit off the Official Social Network of Shitposting® because the “community” would handle that. But now that those same notes are being “gamed” by filthy libs, “he” is going to have to “fix” them, so I guess not the bestest anymore?
These 20G 90º turns at speed are quite jarring. #socialmedia #tech #capitalism #fascism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
One Mic History is a fantastic #YouTube channel that covers #Black #history in rich detail. I found the latest episode about the legacy of #SoulFood to be enlightening. I hope you do, as well. Learn about it, then go have some. It’s delicious! #food #education www.youtube.com/watch
Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie will be hitting theaters on April 25th. Check out the trailer. It looks great! #movies #comedy #documentary www.youtube.com/watch
I don’t think punitive resignation works anymore. Not only does it close out a specific process pipeline, it creates a hole which #TFG & Co can fill with whomever they please, and that is likely to be a useful idiot. Stay. Fight. #uspol www.washingtonpost.com/politics/…
If you have operated under the illusion that #TFG & Co are trying to save #America’s #economy by cutting waste and fraud, then you should know that installing these and then removing them costs millions of dollars. Also very petty. #uspol #tech gizmodo.com/u-s-gover…
I was previously unaware that Andy Summers (The Police) had worked with Robert Fripp (King Crimson) but this video is not a surprise to me. This is Parade from their 1984 album Bewitched. Very odd but also too short! #music #progrock #instrumental www.youtube.com/watch
I promised more live #BigWreck, and I’m now delivering. The attached playlist is the entire Suhr Factory show from 2015. Enjoy, though I say that knowing you will… not hoping ;) #music #rock #hardrock #progrock youtube.com/playlist
