#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Liquid Tension Experiment III - Ya Mon (2021). John Petrucci (guitar), Mike Portnoy (drums), Jordan Rudess (keyboards), and Tony Levin (bass) in the studio performing Ya Mon. Brilliant, as usual. #music #progrock #instrumental youtu.be/f8PS7rKVU…

I love Mobile Police #Patlabor, an #anime #mecha series unlike any other. It’s been around for a very long time and will be returning next year with Patlabor EZY. If you are new to Patlabor, check out STEVEM’s fantastic retrospective. #animation #TV #movies #scifi #mamoruoshii www.youtube.com/watch

Earlier today #ElonMusk said he’d, “done enough.” I agree. He’s already set #DOGE in motion and now it can prosecute the business of destroying American #democracy from the inside. Without Musk, the “news” outlets don’t care what they do. #uspol #capitalism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

So… are those really going to be the doors on a taxi? A two-seat taxi? This is as much a taxi as #ElonMusk’s #Tesla sewers is mass transit. Does it really take so little for the “masses” to think you’re a genius? #idiocracy #SIASD #tech www.jalopnik.com/1865786/e…

Let’s show NSMug’s new #YouTube channel some love. He’s got six subs now. So, views, shares, likes, and more subs are appreciated. He’s doing his part to preserve the Olde’ Ways and peeps who work this hard for love need support. #apple #retrocompting www.youtube.com/watch

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the loss of #TV icon George Wendt, known worldwide as Norm Peterson from #Cheers. Kottke posted this supercut of every time Norm walked into the bar. Pure gold way to celebrate pure gold. #obits #GeorgeWendt #TooSoon kottke.org/25/05/sup…

A surprise to nobody, aside from its sudden appearance, #TFG’s pick to run the #IRS, one Billy Long, is on tape promising “friends” favors once he’s installed. Who’s got the receipts? Why, #Oregon’s Sen. Ron Wyden. #news #uspol #grifters thehill.com/business/…

Oh #Adobe. You’re such a glutton for punishment. #Capitalism hasn’t yet learned the true meaning of #FAFO, but I have a feeling this might finally tip the cow. Pixelmator Pro is $50. Period. No subs. #AdobeCreativeCloud #AI #bullshit slashdot.org/story/25/…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Smithereens - A Date with the Smithereens (1994). I’ve loved this band for decades. Gritty #powerpop by beat poets with a noir bent, their albums are imminently listenable. #music www.youtube.com/watch

For oldsters: Watch this video to confirm your admiration for these shows. For youths: Watch this video to find new shows that’ll blow your mind. Conclusion: Any list that includes Cowboy Bebop must be accurate. That is all. #scifi #tv #90s youtu.be/uT42ldiYM…
