Despite #Google’s claims of superior #spam management, I get a load of spam in #Gmail, and I barely use that. My main email is on #Apple Mail, and I get almost none. For #StValentinesDay I thought I’d share some of the “fun” ones. #internet #tech

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Dream Theater - Parasomnia (2025). DT’s latest album and my very first listen. There’s some Mindcrime vibe in the opening measures, then it dives into a medley. Strong concept album energy. 20 min. closing track, too. #music #progmetal #prog youtube.com/playlist

Have you heard the news? Fascistic othering is the new #American #Freedom… as in the freedom to forcefully eradicate the freedoms of those you deem sub-human. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, as long as you’re #MAGA. #fascism #racism #oligarchy #opensource www.theverge.com/news/6128…

The #facism is being televised, and not enough Americans give a damn… Oh well. Guess I’ll just play #MarvelRivals while #ElonMusk dismantles our democratic institutions. Also, Squirrel Girl is a hottie! #apathy #uspol #capitalism kottke.org/25/02/the…

And another thing about this Gulf of Mexico thing… I was under the impression that #TFG’s America was about the Freedom™ of #Capitalism? But #Google just caves to Dear Leader’s petulant colonialist demand like it was State Run? How pathetic. #tech #capitalism #fascism gizmodo.com/google-ma…

Can someone please make a browser extension that puts a label over “Gulf of America” that reads “Gulf of Mexico” in Google Maps? I can’t code to save my life, but I don’t think it would be that complicated… right? #tech #google #TFG #internet #programming jalopnik.com/google-is…

I’m not familiar with the MSX system. Not many Westerners are as it was primarily a Japanese home computer standard that started in 1983 and ended ten years later. This, like the Book 8088 and Pocket 386 before it, does look cool, though. #tech #retrocomputing liliputing.com/msxbook-i…

I didn’t bother watching Superb Owl LIX, but I should have. Kendrick killed the #halftime show, and watching it on YouTube I see he spoke loud if you were willing to listen and see with open ears and eyes. #music #superbowl #resistfascism #resisthate www.youtube.com/watch

RE: RFK Jr. being sworn in as #HHS Secretary; Every last one of #TFG’s appointments have been people who either owe #DearLeader for their acceptance into #MAGA, have been licking his boots clean for years, or gave him money… oh, and are white and “camera ready”. #uspol #fascism #capitalism

It could be the #iPhone SE4, but I’d like to note that Mr. Cook asks us to “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family.” I think it could be the return of the AirPort. Look at the graphic for the announcement and the AirPort A1034 attached. Just sayin'. #tech #Apple 9to5mac.com/2025/02/1…

I call bullshit. If the #Democrats won’t do anything because they don’t hold any power, which makes no sense because the #Republicans got up to all manner of shady bullshit when they were in the minority, what fucking good are they? #uspol www.axios.com/2025/02/1…

No wonder the #oligarchy is hell bent on protecting #AI. After slowly murdering #education, they can then use #AI to replace it with #agitprop and #revisionistHistory to save their precious #Capitalism from the clutches of meaningful #regulation. #tech #uspol gizmodo.com/chatgpts-…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Michael Landau Group - Organic Instrumentals (2012). Landau is one of those legendary session guitarists you’ve never heard of. Check Wikipedia. This album is a quiet bomb and is amazing. A must listen. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch
