#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Oz Noy & Andrew Synowiec - Recreational Substance (2025). DAYUM!! First gear is a kick in the pants, but shifting to second is lighting the house on fire! #JazzFusion is alive and fighting anything that moves and I’m here for it! #music www.youtube.com/watch
Um, sure. Cool story, bro. Amazon closing a recently unionized warehouse to go back to contract-based workers is like trying to compare motor oil to French toast. Just cost cutting. “SQUIRREL” [POINTS IN DIFFERENT DIRECTION] #capitalism #amazon #Canada #Quebec #unions gizmodo.com/amazon-sh…
Mickey 17 is my most anticipated #scifi movie in some time, and the latest trailer only confirms that I am right to be excited for Bong Joon Ho’s (The Host, Mother, Snowpiercer, Parasite) latest future masterpiece. #movies www.youtube.com/watch
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: If you use #Homebrew on #macOS don’t trust any ads promoting it. There’s a good chance that it’s actually #malware. I use it all the time, but since I block all ads, I’ve never seen this, but be careful! #apple #tech #infosec #scams appleinsider.com/articles/…
#Polygon is having some fun with trying to figure out what the new “C” button is on the upcoming #Nintendo #Switch2’s right #joycon. One of them, as an old man, made me happy people still fondly remember Peter Falk :) #videogames #fun #tv www.polygon.com/nintendo-…
If you’ve got an #M4MacMini and your curious about some interesting use cases, you might find Wesley Hilliard’s review on Apple Insider a source of ideas. #apple #mac #projects #homelab #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…
I’ve never taken a single sleeping pill in my entire life. Never needed one, but I can empathize with those who have. And now I feel terrible for anyone who’s been taking them long-term. This is both unsurprising and depressing. #sleep #health #bigpharma #mentalhealth arstechnica.com/science/2…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Jeff Sipe Trio (2014). With Sipe on drums, Mike Seal on guitar, and Taylor Lee on bass, this #JazzFusion album is nicely satisfying. My favorite tracks are Lightning Man and a fantastic cover of Coltrane’s Naima. #music #jazz www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: John Mayer - Continuum (2006). Very solid studio album and the last of Mayer’s I would truly enjoy. Good to put on and groove to whilst you do something. #music #poprock www.youtube.com/watch
Oh snap! A company called Arcooda is making 29.3" 4:3 1-to-1 arcade cabinet LCD display replacements!!?? WOW!!! It’s a short video, but it’s all the info you need in just over a minute. #videogames #retrogaming #retrocomputing #arcades www.youtube.com/watch
Oh wow! Remember this crazy Sony thing during the UMPC era? Someone is working on a drop-in replacement motherboard that will upgrade it to a modern CPU so it can be used to fix broken devices or, in their words, “drag this classic handheld into the modern era.” #retrocomputing www.reddit.com/r/umpc/co…
Don’t watch the news today since all they’ll be talking about is how great and normal it is to just hand an entire country over to a criminal in the name of a democracy that’s been utterly broken and shreaded. If that leaves you unsure of what to do instead, here are some suggestions:
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Toad the Wet Sprocket - All You Want (Bonus Edition)(2023). This is a re-release of the 2011 re-recordings of the band re-performing a number of their popular songs in the studio. Some peeps find this disappointing. I like it. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Tal Wilkenfeld - Transformation (2007). One of my favorite bassists. First saw her watching Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott’s. I believe she was 19 then. #music #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/watch
I’m all in for the idea that #Nintendo’s #Switch2 Joycons will have a mouse mode, especially if we get Game Pass and in-home streaming. I’m not into Epic, but I have a ton of games there because they can’t stop giving away bangers. #videogames daringfireball.net/linked/20…
#journalism #dollarnomics #editorial - Tyler K. Nothing reporting.
DATELINE INTERNETOPIA - #Substack has created a mythology in the form of the $15 a month newsletter. The claim was that it would help support independent writers who have been driven out of organized news gathering by capitalist greed’s desire to “trim the fat” (meaning people who cost money they’d rather have in their Cayman bank accounts), but the model is unsustainable. In reality, all it does is net Substack more revenue.
Of course, they need that larger cut to support the now far more bloated model that appears to include completely free hosting of a blog, unless you want to use your custom domain, and then you’ll have to cough up …
Time to switch your PC desktops and laptops to #Linux, peeps! Back up all your stuff, make a copy of your #Windows install, then install #LinuxMint Cinnamon Edition, which you can get here: www.linuxmint.com/download…. #tech #capitalism
Or just get a base #MacMini.
Since bingo cards seem to be the current metric by which culture is judged, I sure as hell didn’t have “Bitchin' New OK Go Music Video” on mine. I’ll have to watch it again for the lyrics, though. It’s just too mesmerizing the first time! #music #pop #musicvideo www.youtube.com/watch
I don’t really care that there have been #Nintendo #Switch2 leaks. I mean, what’s really been revealed? Not much at all. Most of it remains a mystery. But this take from Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya is comically hilarious. #tech #videogames kotaku.com/bayonetta…
Wow #Canon. This is lame. Apparently, if you want to use your camera as a webcam, you have to pay them $5 a month. Now, that gets you “PRO” features like 60FPS, watermarks, and setting hotkeys, so… you know. #tech #capitalism #wtaf romanzipp.com/blog/no-y…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Spock’s Beard (2007). The band’s ninth album which was released to mixed reviews, still polarizes some listeners, but still garnered solid reviews. I personally love it. #music #ProgressiveRock www.youtube.com/watch
This is just dumb, #Ferrari. Silly. If you’re going to make an #EV do it without the petty nod to your petrol-based past. Forge a new path forward. And while you’re at it do something about that lozenge you call a design. #cars #tech www.autoblog.com/news/ferr…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Spock’s Beard - The Oblivion Particle (2015). Driving, melodic, #progressive #hardrock liberally tinged with a wry sense of humor and hints of #jazz here and there. Every album a concept. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Chris Cornell - Euphoria Mourning (1999). Chris' first solo album that illustrated a more lyrical and pensive side of his vocal talent and compositional prowess. A must listen. #music www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Soundgarden - Superunknown (20th Anniversary)(1994). I still grieve the loss of Chris Cornell. He was an extraordinary vocalist, and this is an extraordinary album. #music www.youtube.com/watch
