#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jason Falkner - I’m OK, You’re OK (2007). The US release didn’t actually drop until 2010 and with a new version of the opening track ‘This Time’, and different mix on ‘The Knew’, and a 4.5dB bump in gain. #PowerPop #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jason Falkner - Can You Still Feel (1999). He played with the Three O’Clock, Jellyfish, and was part of The Grays for their legendary single album, Ro Sham Bo, then went solo. This is his 2nd solo effort. #PowerPop #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jason Falkner - Bliss Descending EP (2004). Jason is a #PowerPop deity of the highest order. As a multi-instrumentalist, he plays everything on his albums except the strings. There needs to be more Falkner! #music www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Level 42 - Running in the Family (Super Deluxe Edition)(2012). Combining #jazz, #pop, #rock, and #funk into infectious grooves is a staple of Level 42, and Mark King is a beast of a bassist. #music www.youtube.com/watch

There is one simple question never posed by any in a position to ask:

Where’s the proof?

#TFG & Company have floated all manner of madness and have never furnished proof. Period. Full stop.

This one exclusion could be the end of #America. #uspol #fascism #doge #racism #whitesupremacy

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Faith No More - Album of The Year Deluxe Edition (2016 Remaster Version). I don’t know of any bands like FNM. #Punk. #Metal. #Prog. #Experimental. #Jazz. #Lounge. Yes, and more, and not all at the same time. Marvelous. #music www.youtube.com/watch

Ok. This is officially my favorite new application of programming to solve a real problem. It’s called #WikiTok and it feeds users random #Wikipedia articles using the same user interface as #TikTok. All learning. No slop. Very nice! #socialmedia #addiction #mentalhealth arstechnica.com/gadgets/2…

This seems to explain a lot. It’s called “Extinction Burst” and it’s a term used in #psychology. There’s a video, but also a transcript, which I read, that covers it. It makes a lot of sense, not that it will help, but knowing is good, I guess. #MAGA #fascism #racism kottke.org/25/02/ext…

The #UK’s #surveillance apparatus creeps from the void like Cthulhu hungering for a midnight snack. Note that in this order it is #unlawful to reveal to the public that they’re doing it to us… and I mean us because that power extends outside of the UK. #dystopia mjtsai.com/blog/2025…

Here’s a #FUNFACT: If #TFG and #DOGE shutter all agencies that have involvement with foreign countries, many of which are allies, the “savings” wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket in comparison to the titanic amounts of money we pour into the #military, #oil subsidies, and corporate welfare. #uspol
