Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (2017). A really great progressive concept rock album. I’ll admit I wasn’t a fan until this album. Definitely worth a listen. #music #nowplaying

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Mr. Mister - Pull (2010). This is a progressive pop masterpiece that, after being recorded in 1989-1990 was denied release by label RCA as not being commercial enough. It took frontman Richard Page two decades to regain the rights to the album, finish the mix, and release it under his own label. I had a bootleg copy of the leaked album, bought it when it came out, and now listen to this expanded edition. It remains one of my favorite albums. #music #nowplaying

Oh god, what a disaster. It was bad enough that #ElonMiusk’s #SpaceX was shooting thousands of satellites into orbit, but now others are doing it. There are countless factors to blame for this, not the least of which are #Capitalism and toxic power fantasies. arstechnica.com/space/202…

www.youtube.com/watch As reported on #Animation World Network, #Netflix has dropped a teaser for Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight, the third CG #film from Alain Chabat and the first to be localized for English audiences. I read Goscinny & Uderzo books as a child in the 70’s and have loved them ever since. Each successive film has looked better and better, and it’s clear they’re leaning more into the comic roots of the tales of one village of Gauls against the Roman Empire. #movies

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Death Cab for Cutie - Kintsugi (2015). Inspired by the listen to 2018’s Thank You for Today, I have now cued up the great Kintsugi. #music #nothingmanor #nowplaying

#Apple, if this is true, I’m actually disappointed in you! The charging port on the Magic Mouse is now iconic and a genuine meme. You can’t go a-changin’ now!! #rumors 9to5mac.com/2024/12/1…

Ouch… and on point. While I do actually find the new Type 00 attractive as a design study, it should not be the cornerstone of a reimagined Jaguar. Just tossing out 80 years of heritage and stunning coachwork for a fancy toaster is a crime. #cars #automotive #UK www.autoblog.com/news/jagu…

Time for some #silly fun :) Here, then, is a Rube Goldberg device for locating your mouse pointer in the most ineffective manner possible. #funny pointerpointer.com

The Game Awards… Heard of ’em? Don’t care? Just like #VideoGames? Same here. In fact, the only game I am excited for is Dispatch, a superhero workplace comedy. #youtube #trailer www.youtube.com/watch

Looks like #Lenovo might just be rolling out a new #handheld Legion Go soon, and this time it might be running #SteamOS. The leaks came from Evan Blass and include images of a proposed smaller Legion Go S that lacks the removable controllers but adds a Steam button (top left in the images). As these are unannounced, it’s unclear if or when this will become official and if there will be #Windows and Steam variants. #videogames www.theverge.com/2024/12/1…
