In @NSMug’s latest video he walks through a fascinating #QuickTimeVR tour of the #Apple Company Store at the original #Cupertino campus. It’s fun to see all the normal and weird stuff you could buy with Apple logos. #retrocomputing #nostalgia www.youtube.com/watch

A friend of mine just sent me a link to Brent Spiner’s comedy series on YouTube called Fresh Hell, and I NEED to share it! There’s a second season under Videos on the Channel page. #StarTrek #STTNG #TV #comedy www.youtube.com/playlist

LOLZ. Yes. Very much. #ElonMusk is not a genius. And “fake it ‘til you make it” isn’t magic. He had money, made more money, and hired the right people. Big whoop. Or, as this article puts it, he’s not Tony Stark but Michael Scott #capitalism #tesla #tech www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-mu…

A comprehensive list of all of #ElonMusk’s “achievements”. After all, he is the wealthiest human on the planet, so he’s “achieved” a lot of things… right? #tech #oligarchy #uspol #DOGE #scams #vaporware #tesla #spacex #robotics #capitalism www.wired.com/story/the…

I really hope #TFG keeps acting like he owns America & can do whatever he wants. The more he acts like a authoritarian, the more people he’ll piss off, and the closer we’ll get to his ejection. #uspol #NYC #activism #resistFascism #goodtrouble #congestionpricing www.jalopnik.com/1867570/n…

4 Non Blondes was a great #rock band that only made one studio album and had the global hit What’s Up that lit the world on fire in 1993. It’s amazing that, to this day, that one song has remained in the cultural zeitgeist. #music #activism #LGBTQRights #LGBTQIAPlus www.salon.com/2025/05/2…

The entire cast of “Sirens” on #Netflix is phenomenal, but Bill Camp’s performance as Bruce is chef’s kiss. Steals the show. Five episodes of must-watch #TV #sirens #comedy #drama.

It is really, really hard to start a YouTube channel these days. There are so many creators who’ve been around for years and have established viewerships. @nsmug@mastodon.social is a new creator and he makes great retro #Apple videos. Give him some love! #retrocomputing www.youtube.com/watch

I don’t think I can say it better or more succinctly than Mr. Lawrence Ware. I’ll add that the carefully coded hate speech from #TFG and his #KKK sycophants on TV every day from the Whitest House has been adding nuclear fuel to the fire. Criminals. #FuckRacism #uspol www.theroot.com/why-thing…

IAPWE won't leave us alone!
We are being harassed by the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors, also known as IAPWE. We signed up for memberships a few years ago, then cancelled after our first year. We found no benefit to the membership. Now, despite cancelling everything we could find on PayPal, speaking with the credit card servicer who can do nothing, and emailing IAPWE over and over and over again, they continue to charge us.
We both subscribed using PayPal, and we’ve no clue how they got our card details to charge us directly! I’m going to assume they can see all those details in the PayPal dashboard, which is frightening. The image above is a receipt from earlier this year, but the charges have not stopped.

The WORST Anime of ALL TIME - 10th Anniversary: The Complete List
Part of the payment I must make to Satan to save my soul from eternal damnation is to prepare a detailed listing of all anime that Geoff lists in his Mother’s Basement videos on YouTube. Just kidding. I do it because I love it and want to help peeps retain the font of knowledge that Geoff shares with us in his various videos. Today’s video is a comprehensive breakdown of the ten worst anime of all time. Yes, the worst of the worst or the animated equivalent of emotional torture.
NOTE: This is a list of anime series to AVOID. These shows are NOT like the Hottest Trash which you can watch because sometimes bad == good. So, please don’t watch these, unless you’re a sadist… or a masochist who wishes to inflict …

I believe Spice Frontier is one of the more unique spins on #SciFi that I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen most of it! Combine the idea of food as a tool for diplomacy with exciting space exploration and you get this! Impressive work from all departments! #animation #pilot #TV youtu.be/SeAqnHywr…

Earlier today #ElonMusk said he’d, “done enough.” I agree. He’s already set #DOGE in motion and now it can prosecute the business of destroying American #democracy from the inside. Without Musk, the “news” outlets don’t care what they do. #uspol #capitalism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
