There is one brain sickness that can’t be fixed by mere herd immunity: stupidity. It’s not that stupid people take over, but that smart people are suspending their critical thinking skills in response to a social climate that rewards doing so. #uspol #TFG #fascism www.youtube.com/watch

The Home Screen of my newly minted Surf account showing favorites for various feed collections and two custom feeds I've created for my social media accounts (Home Timeline) and a selection of some of my RSS feeds (TKNN).

Checking out the closed #Surf app beta from #Flipboard, a new “social browser” that supports #ActivityPub, #ATProto, and #RSS. It needs more work, like dark mode and desktop font sizing, but I like what I see so far. Sign up, but I don’t know how long it’ll take. #socialmedia surf.social

You know, I might just go back to #Apple #Notes if this rumor is true. Fortunately we’ll find out soon. I’d love to be able to write up notes and short stories on a whim, then export them as #markdown to drop straight into #Microblog. #apps #writing #WWDC2025 daringfireball.net/linked/20…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The B52’s - Whammy (1983) The first B52’s album I bought after hearing Legal Tender & Whammy Kiss on #KROQ. This tape got played a lot in my Walkman WM-10. Great album, top to bottom. #music #newwave #punk #rock #clubmusic www.youtube.com/watch

Steve Smith & Vital Information in the Musora studio performing Soundgarden's Blackhole Sun from their Superunknown album during a short session.

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steve Smith & Vital Information - Blackhole Sun (2025 - Soundgarden cover). I’m shocked I hadn’t been recommended anything from the #Musora channel before. This is phenomenal, and stellar musicians. #music #jazzfusion #grunge www.youtube.com/watch

Not like I could ever afford one, but I wanted the #Chevy #Corvette #C7 since I first saw it. Then the #C8 came out and blew my mind… and costs even more! Jason Cammisa & Randy Pobst run down the reasons why the C8 is a beast. Great film. #cars www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Gary Moore - Live from Baloise Session (2025). Gary passed in 2011, but recorded this in 2008. Now it’s a new release. Enjoy. #music #blues #GaryMoore www.youtube.com/watch

Yeah. We know. We’ve known. We saw it coming. We went hoarse trying to warn everyone. #RFKjr #uspol #MAHA #bullshit www.salon.com/2025/05/2…

Bots from the likes of #Microsoft, #Amazon, #Oracle, #Tencent, #Russia and countless others are destroying the #OpenWeb. The latest casualty is Ric Ford’s legendary #MacInTouch. So terrible and disappointing. #apple #news #internet #capitalism #bullshit mjtsai.com/blog/2025…
