#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Death Cab for Cutie - Kintsugi (2015). Following the departure of OG guitarist Chris Walla, Ben Gibbard would remake DCfC like the Japanese artform of repairing broken pottery with gold known as Kintsugi. #music #altrock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Death Cab for Cutie - Codes and Keys Deluxe (2011). I found DCfC in 2005 when their Plans album started hitting AAA radio stations and have loved them since. Great album. #music #altrock #collegeradio www.youtube.com/watch

1999’s Mystery Men was a box office bomb that deserved much better, but does enjoy strong cult status. I have it on Blu-Ray and adore it. I’d always wondered what happened to the Herkimer Battle Jitney. Check the first comment. #movies #MysteryMen #superheroes www.youtube.com/watch

Has anyone else noted that in the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream trailer in #Nintendo’s March 27th #Direct for the #Switch that the guy sleeping on the deck chair on the beach is farting? The little cloud is even tinted green FFS!! #videogames www.youtube.com/watch

After some rather significant technical gymnastics some very smart people (myself not included) seem to have employed a fix to get #Microblog to #Mastodon crossposting working again with my setup! Here now is a test post to see how it works :) Documentation sometime next week for the benefit of other admins, as long as everything remains stable 😁🤞 #socialmedia #serveradmin #tech

#Panasonic has commissioned the creation of an Original Video #Animation, commonly known as an #OVA. It’s not for marketing, per se, but a fairy tale promoting a belief in ourselves to perceive the world more positively. #OsakaKansaiExpo #2025 #LandOfNOMO www.youtube.com/watch

One of the biggest surprises from yesterday’s #NintendoDirect was the upcoming new featured called #VirtualGameCard. For an explanation, read the brief article. I will note that this is way late but also right on time for the #Switch2 direct next week. #videogames arstechnica.com/gaming/20…

Ok. I’m pretty sure that for putting sarcastic sticky notes on a #Tesla to be considered a “Hate Crime”, the Tesla itself would need to be recognized as a “protected class”. I may have the terminology wrong, but I think I’m generally correct. #uspol #WashingtonDC #police boingboing.net/2025/03/2…

Whether you know all about #ElonMusk’s background or not, you must watch this video from #DemocracyNow for depth and context. This is critical to understanding the very real existential danger #America & #Democracy are in RIGHT FUCKING NOW. #uspol #apartheid www.youtube.com/watch

When the #Tesla #Cybertruck is dead and gone it will have achieved an “honor” I don’t believe has ever been been bestowed upon another vehicle; The first to be tanked by the sheer incompetence of its execution and how much people hate the CEO.

I have to say that this is one of the most impressive demonstrations of a “flying car”, for lack of a better term, I have seen. It is smooth, fast, agile, and loud. I wonder if those asymmetrical props would have the same thrust. #tech #aircraft #JetsonONE www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die (1970 Deluxe Edition). Ironically, Dave Mason had left Traffic again and didn’t play on this critically acclaimed record. This is always my go-to Traffic disc, though. #rock #jazz #blues youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Smithereens - 2011 (2025 rerelease). The bands first album of new material since 1999 was well received by critics and fans. Then Pat died in 2017, but they continue to rock on. A new album is coming soon, too. RIP Pat! #music #powerpop youtube.com/playlist

Now that Mastodon is out of the crossposting loop, let’s see if this works. If so, then I’ll know that a proxy issue was at the core of my crossposting issues and can finally work to resolve it! Back to posting soon, I hope 😁 #troubleshooting

Well, duh. #TFG 45 was a chaotic, disorganized mess desperately grasping for more support, no matter what color. TFG 47 is now laser focused on making #America white “again” (PROTIP: America was never all white. Ever.) #uspol #racism #NASA #space arstechnica.com/space/202…

Hmm. This one is interesting. #MacWorld is suggesting that #Apple’s 2010 acquisition of LiquidMetal may be critical for their folding phone. The name refers to the process of making extremely precise components, ICYWW, and might be used for the hinge. #tech #iPhone www.macworld.com/article/2…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steve Miller Band - Austin City Limits (2011 or 2012… maybe). The Space Cowboy is still touring today, at the young age of 81. The visuals are 360p, but it’s more than good enough. Great show. #music #rock #blues www.youtube.com/watch

Anyone who would advocate for the arrest of John Cusack and call him a “marginal success” clearly has no sense, an agenda, or both. These are the same people claiming Tesla protests are terrorism and school shootings are normal. #uspol #fascism #capitalism boingboing.net/2025/03/2…

Well, I’m an #Apple user and I can easily say that I will never consider a #GM product of any kind if I am disallowed from using my preferred platform. Last I checked, 35% of mobile devices users in the US are using #iOS devices. Solid marketing, dorks. #tech #cars #stupid www.theverge.com/news/6337…
