#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol II (2013). The second album, featuring Andy Timmons (G), Steve Weingart (K), and Earnest Tibbs (B), would settle the #rock-oriented sound of Simon’s #JazzFusion into it’s ongoing format. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simon Phillips - Protocol (1989). The first in a series of projects that would bring together a rotating group of talented musicians to make #rock oriented #jazzfusion. There are five albums… so far. #music www.youtube.com/watch

This makes me sad. Panos was the beating heart of #Microsoft PR when they were being really innovative. Then #Windows 11 with ads, projects dropped off the map, #Copilot, & other #enshittification. Now he’s hawking shit at #Amazon. Booo to all of it. #capitalism
Not surprising. #Microsoft makes tons of money from #advertising and #ManifestV3 helps facilitate that. Extensions like uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and other ad and script blockers actively eliminate revenue streams for them. #tech #internet #capitalism tech.slashdot.org/story/25/…
#NowPlaying #Live - #Goose - Night 1 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Just started about half an hour ago and the shows go for around three hours. #music #rock #jambands #Goose #youtube www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Rush - Snakes & Arrows (2007). It’s Rush. What more is there to say about one of the greatest #rock bands of all time, a trio that sounded like a much larger band. Much love, Neil. #music #progrock #hardrock www.youtube.com/watch
Just watched #AdultSwim’s new #AdultAnimation series Common Side Effects created by Joseph Bennett and Steve Hely. It’s a departure from the norm as it is a conspiracy thriller and not a comedy. The #animation is also quite excellent. Watch the pilot here. #TV www.youtube.com/watch
Maybe… you know… not such a good idea to invest in new #Switch controllers, considering #Nintendo is about to roll out the #Switch2. You think, #Verge? Just seems like bad timing, no? #videogames #journalism www.theverge.com/23350899/…
The hatred that emanates from the Whites Only House is existentially disturbing, notably through the nasty, painful cuts to programs like The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Thousands of #children born with #AIDS will now die. #uspol #humanrights #healthcare www.salon.com/2025/02/2…
It’s that time again! Every three months, or “cour” as seems to be the preferred terminology, Geoff Thew puts out his guides for Best and Worst #anime of said season. This round is for the trash. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch
Pay attention, people! The Huntington Beach City Council fired former #Vikings punter Chris Kluwe from his job as high school football coach at Edison HS for the crime of protesting against #MAGA. Don’t just follow the National madness. #uspol #fascism mynewsla.com/sports/20…
Utter madness. #Capitalism is out of control and the willfully ignorant are in control. How’s that making shit great again working out for you? #finance #banks #citigroup news.slashdot.org/story/25/…
It seems #Skype is about to get shutdown. While this is unofficial, it appears obvious from code in the latest Preview build of the much derided app will, starting in May, ask users to move calls and chat to Teams. It won’t be missed. #microsoft #tech #technews www.xda-developers.com/microsoft…
Interesting. #AYANEO has apparently cancelled the Flip KB and Flip DS. Announced Jan. 2024, AYANEO has shipped some units, but has stopped production. If you ordered one, you can get a refund or select another product and pay or get the difference. #videogames #tech liliputing.com/ayaneo-fl…
I cannot express how utterly hilarious I find this. I mean, I’ll hand it to #TFG. He may not be a good negotiator, but he’s a damned good liar, and he’s snowed millions of Americans into believing that what he’s doing is for them. #cryptobros #idiocracy #capitalism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
Like sociopaths testing the boundaries of society (sound familiar?), #streaming services keep raising rates to see how far they can stretch consumers, and they’re doing it again. We’re starting to get tired of this, and considering dropping a few. #capitalism #pricegouging www.theverge.com/23901586/…
If you like fighting games, #AnimeNewsNetwork have teamed up to give away 1,000 passes to the Closed Beta of The Hidden Ones. This is for #PC players only. Starting today and giving 200 out a day until gone. It looks fantastic. #videogames www.animenewsnetwork.com/giveaway/…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Big Country - The Crossing (1983). While the US ate up the single “In a Big Country” we ignored the rest of the album. That’s a shame because it’s freaking amazing. Great band. #music #rock #folkrock www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Al Di Meola - One of These Nights (2005). This is the full live show on #YouTube, and I am in awe. #prog #jazzfusion, #latinjazz #soundtrack and more, I’m left stunned. The remastered album is on #AppleMusic #music #live www.youtube.com/watch
It seems that every week now brings us a new #restomod, yet most of them are nigh unattainable at well over $100K or far more. #Rocketeer didn’t start to change that, but their SJ30 V-6 swap into NA and NC #Mazda #Miata models are shockingly affordable & amazing. #cars www.youtube.com/watch
Denis Kitchen should be mentioned alongside #comicbook avant-garde guerrillas like Crumb, Spiegelman, and Eisner. He created the #CBLDF and published #Gay Comix. He fought for the artistic expression of the oppressed and marginalized. Now a #documentary is on the way. boingboing.net/2025/02/2…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Yellowjackets - Fasten Up (2025). The title track on this album is a monster of #JazzFusion. The rest of the cuts run the gamut of fusion with emotional highs and lows. Now in my library for regular listens. #music #jazz youtube.com/playlist
Anyone else surprised by the bombastic #hypocrisy of #TFG all hot for freedom and independence and the power of #capitalism, but pissed his pet project to disenfranchise #BIPOC Americans is being ignored by #Apple? It’s like he thinks he’s king or something. #uspol #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…
