#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Semisonic - Great Divide (1996). This is a great album, full stop. A unique blend of pop vocals, power pop sensibilities, and driving, raw distorted guitars, it gets you from the first track. #music #semisonic #powerpop #rock youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Semisonic - Pleasure EP (1995). Dan Wilson is a subtle genius, an accomplished record producer, and a monster on the guitar most people know for the perpetual anthem “Closing Time”. “In The Veins” is a hard punk banger. #music #powerpop youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Live from Daryl’s House - Howard Jones (2024). This analog version of Howard’s What Is Love is a 5-alarm fire, but do watch the entire playlist. I’m In a Philly Mood is glorious as a finisher! #music #pop #soul www.youtube.com/playlist

Does your git up n’ go need #Goose? I’ve been jamming to this January 6th show streaming live on #YouTube for an hour and a half and it’s only half way through! #music #NowPlaying #JamBands www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jerry Harrison & Adrian Belew - Remain in Light Live (2024). Fan shot from a single camera with moderately good stereo sound, this is most of the album, additional tracks, and even a cover of Thela Hun Ginjeet. #music #livemusic www.youtube.com/watch

I love the #Animation work that comes out of #Gobelins, and this has to be one of my new faves! #anime #shortfilm #film #YouTube #art www.youtube.com/watch

The words of a man-child who is not smart, strong, or capable and lacks basic understanding of grammar and punctuation. This is our so-called “president”. #TFG’s only tools are using lawyers to delays legal proceedings and to lash out at anything he dislikes. #uspol www.cnn.com/2025/03/1…

I sometimes wonder if authoritarians take power for themselves so they can control their world because they lack control over others and, more importantly, themselves. Wresting agency from a society allows them to terraform the “climate” so that their own lack of self is no longer an issue? Does that make sense? Does it help? Yeah… just a thought. #fascism #authoritarianism #psychology www.france24.com/en/middle…

See? It is THIS! THIS crap that should give us serious pause about the rampant blood fever gripping #capitalism over #AI. Are we ready for AI-powered #malware? No. We can’t even deal with the human-powered kind! Embrace the open web. Boycott capitalism. #tech #security www.axios.com/2025/03/1…

I think John Gruber is going too far. I’ve read his screed and coverage of said screed. He essentially claims that if #Apple doesn’t get #AI working, then it will fall apart at the seams. Bunk. We’ve been doing just fine without AI. So has Apple. Am I wrong? #tech apple.slashdot.org/story/25/…
