There is a very dear price we will pay if we allow our elected leaders to keep leaning into the Overton Window #TFG smashed open. In other words, the #Democrats need to be taught what #FAFO really means and now, not in 2026. #uspol rimaregasblog42.substack.com/p/those-w…

Back in September of 2024 I speculated that #TSMC’s #Apple A16 chip production in the US would end up in the next #iPad. Nice to see I was on the right track. Of course, we weren’t taking the tariff threats seriously at the time. #tech 9to5mac.com/2025/03/0…

If, like me, you always need Jay & Silent Bob in your life, then hit your local #comicbook shop on July 9th to pick up Kevin Smith Presents: Archie Meets Jay & Silent Bob #1. Yes. Another epic crossover. #books #comics #ViewAskew www.gamesradar.com/comics/ar…

Hmm. Mario Day (March 10th) is almost upon us, and #Nintendo has a really great… um, deal. A #SwitchOLED, Mario Wonder, and 3-months of Nintendo Switch Online for $349. Maybe not so timely, though, since we’re less than a month away from #Switch2. #videogames www.engadget.com/deals/mar…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Rush Time Machine Live (Cleveland 2011). At some point I’ll need to write about #Rush and what they mean to me. For now, just watch the best trio in rock for nearly 3 hours. #music #rock #progrock youtu.be/a0sbKY0K5…

Well, this is annoying. It turns out that the cast of #StargateUniverse found out that the show had been cancelled like everyone else… when the news broke in the media. The #SyFy series was a fantastic new take on the #Stargate formula that deserved better. #TV #scifi www.slashfilm.com/1795353/s…

The wife and I spent most of the conveniently placed dialogue-free sections eagerly speculating on what was going on in this film and were pleasantly surprised when we were mostly wrong. Very well written, directed, and acted with excellent visual work. #movies #thegorge #AppleTV #scifi

I’m not fond of this, @macworld.com. The idea that the Touch Bar, that was mostly unsupported by both #Apple and app developers, was coveted is specious, at best. If it was, we’d still have it today. And no mention of this being a refurb until the end? Wow. #capitalism www.macworld.com/article/2…

Iām really enjoying reading the #manga that was the source material for one of my favorite #anime of all time. The gags are still fresh and make me laugh out loud. #books #LoveHina

A review for the movie Bloat (2025). Conclusion: Don’t bother. #film #review #horror

Bloat... a film review
šæ Bloat (2025)
Tedious. Annoying. Unless you have some unnatural fondness for the very particular sub-sub-genre of horror known as “screen life”, which itself is a derivative of the mostly frustrating found footage sub-genre, then you will not like this film. I could barely get through ten minutes.
Conclusion: Don’t bother.
Editor’s Note: I’ve decided this is not the format for me, so I’m reposting this in my preferred format. It’s the exact same text, so if you’ve read this, you don’t need to see the other. It’s literally just a different format. -TKN

The factions, which only teamed up because they were tired of losing alone, are already starting to clash over ideological priorities. If this wasn’t horrifying I’d be laughing my ass off, having seen this coming years in advance. #uspol #Musk #MarcoRubio #clusterfuck thehill.com/homenews/…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jethro Tull - Curious Ruminant (2025). Ian Anderson’s Tull and voice have aged poorly over the years, but this is the first new album that feels like real Tull in decades, if a tad muted. #music #progrock #folkrock www.youtube.com/playlist

Not to be a pedant, but #TFG and the #MAGA #GOP are trying to erase anything not white and/or “christian” and/or #capitalism and/or climate change and/or not explicitly for the limited benefit of their fragile egos. #BLM #uspol #fascism www.theroot.com/you-wont-…

I’ll be brief. Due to the increasing costs to live we’ve gotten behind on our lot rent and in order to stay in our home we need to pay the front office ~$6,000 by tomorrow at the latest. Despite our efforts, and with some small help from a few friends and my sister who are also strapped, we have something less than $5,000 once my wife gets paid, making us short by about $1,000. Our daughter is special needs and I am sick and cannot work. My wife is also unwell, but she continues to labor on making all of our income. Even though it’s not my fault, I still feel guilty not being able to contribute, so I am doing the only thing I can and asking the internet for help.
Regardless of our desperate circumstance, I refuse to ask ā¦

Suits was an excellent show. Sure, it had a few minor stumbles, but it was solid entertainment.
Suits LA is a joke. The 2nd episode is terrrrrrible…

Just came across this red band #trailer for something called The Bondsman, a Prime series starring Kevin Bacon. In his role as Hub Halloran he is a skip tracer for the Devil. That and this trailer should have you psyched for the limited series. #TV #horror #comedy www.youtube.com/watch
