I don’t think much of #AI or expect our #capitalist overlords to do good with it, but it sure as hell can make some really funny shit 🤣 Check out what would make an amazing, if confusing, action flick. #movies #AIMovieTrailers #funny

I’ve started fiddling with the closed beta of Surf from Flipboard, what they term a “social browser” that works with the open web including Mastodon and Bluesky as well as RSS feeds and more. I’ve created a #ProgRock feed. Check it out! #music #socialmedia surf.social/feed/surf…

This is AmeriKKKa’s new #Fascist #MAGA #Right. This is lawlessness in action while they scream that they’re “protecting” justice and the law. This is our road to hell. Go out and march peacefully. Violence is not the answer. #uspol #DHS #AlexPadilla #KristiNoem #racism #civilrights #humanrights

Welcome to the new McCarthy “Red Scare” era. I guess we call this the “Not White Scare” era, then? This was posted on Twitter by the #DHS. I am disgusted on so many levels. #civilrights #humanrights #StopTFG #StopICE #EndFascism #EjectTrumpNow thehill.com/homenews/…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome (1984). Trevor Horn’s presence, often replacing the band’s studio performances, is unmistakeable. Also, the only debut studio double-album I’m aware of. #music #newwave #pop #synthrock youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1966). In honor of the passing of #BrianWilson, I’m throwing on one of the greatest albums of all time. Give a listen and take it in. Everyone should listen at least once in their lifetime. #music #progpop #artrock youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Poe - Haunted (Bonus Track Version)(2006). Blending #triphop, #hardrock, #poprock, dance, sampling, and her dead father’s audio letters to his children, Haunted creates an #altrock concept album that is very listenable. #music youtube.com/playlist

Um… WOW!? I hope to see this on #PC and not just #XBOX. It’s called Clockwork Revolution and has some rather biting British wit. Looks like a real hoot! #videogames #gametrailers www.youtube.com/watch

There is one brain sickness that can’t be fixed by mere herd immunity: stupidity. It’s not that stupid people take over, but that smart people are suspending their critical thinking skills in response to a social climate that rewards doing so. #uspol #TFG #fascism www.youtube.com/watch

Checking out the closed #Surf app beta from #Flipboard, a new “social browser” that supports #ActivityPub, #ATProto, and #RSS. It needs more work, like dark mode and desktop font sizing, but I like what I see so far. Sign up, but I don’t know how long it’ll take. #socialmedia surf.social

You know, I might just go back to #Apple #Notes if this rumor is true. Fortunately we’ll find out soon. I’d love to be able to write up notes and short stories on a whim, then export them as #markdown to drop straight into #Microblog. #apps #writing #WWDC2025 daringfireball.net/linked/20…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The B52’s - Whammy (1983) The first B52’s album I bought after hearing Legal Tender & Whammy Kiss on #KROQ. This tape got played a lot in my Walkman WM-10. Great album, top to bottom. #music #newwave #punk #rock #clubmusic www.youtube.com/watch

Not like I could ever afford one, but I wanted the #Chevy #Corvette #C7 since I first saw it. Then the #C8 came out and blew my mind… and costs even more! Jason Cammisa & Randy Pobst run down the reasons why the C8 is a beast. Great film. #cars www.youtube.com/watch

It seems #Apple is going to be switching software version numbering to an auto industry-style “model” year scheme. This seems smart. Their computers are often referenced by their year. But, peeps will complain, so they do. #WWDC #macOS #tech #news mjtsai.com/blog/2025…
