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

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Grant Lee Buffalo - Jubilee (1988). This LA trio, previously recording as Shiva Burlesque, brought an electrified edge to their folky, Americana sound. This is one of the few bands that sound a lot bigger than they are. #music #altrock www.youtube.com/watch

As an avid #retrocomputing collector I have amassed an absurd number of cables and almost every single one of them is a mess. I look at the various storage containers and despair. Tito posted a short video explaining his process to straighten them! #tech #howto #gadgets www.youtube.com/watch

I’ve long been a small gadget geek, and I bought an #Atari Lynx II, #Sega #GameGear and #Nomad before I ever got my first #Nintendo GameBoy (a Pocket, btw). This video shows the history of today’s ARM with the first home computers. #retrocomputing #videogames www.youtube.com/watch

In his short story “The Last Question”, #IsaacAsimov asked if it was possible to reverse entropy and prevent the end of all things. Check out Merlin’s video summary and analysis of this interesting #scifi thought exercise and its surprising conclusion. #writing #philosophy www.youtube.com/watch

If you’re confused about why some people don’t seem to “understand” how revolutionary #ArtificialIntelligence is for humanity, let me explain: If jobs are replaced by #AI, how will people earn money to buy capitalist shit? #tech #capitalism www.youtube.com/watch

In #entertainment news, #Amazon now has complete creative control over the James Bond property. Amazon bought MGM & wanted to create a James Bond Cinematic Universe, and Barbara Broccoli hated it. She lost. #enshittification #movies #007 www.polygon.com/news/5263…
