There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov (1980)

    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

    Steve Smith & Vital Information in the Musora studio performing Soundgarden's Blackhole Sun from their Superunknown album during a short session.

    #NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Steve Smith & Vital Information - Blackhole Sun (2025 - Soundgarden cover). I’m shocked I hadn’t been recommended anything from the #Musora channel before. This is phenomenal, and stellar musicians. #music #jazzfusion #grunge 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…

    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…

    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.

    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…
