OMG! I never thought I’d ever say a #Porsche 914 was gorgeous, but here we are! To be fair, this is 99% a “new” car. Barely a #restomod, even. It is, at the same time, undeniably a 914 but not. Lithe and powerful and well planted. Stunning! #cars #sportscars www.youtube.com/watch

I submit the thesis that everything is effectively pirated. Exhibit A is the “You Wouldn’t Steal a Car” anti-piracy campaign from the naughty aughts. #piracy #internet #tech #capitalism #LOLZ boingboing.net/2025/04/2…

I adore the Wachowskis 2008 cinematic masterpiece Speed Racer, but it’s taken almost two decades for most of the world to recognize its brilliance. Patrick (H) Willems latest video explains why. Also, just watch it, for the first time or again. #movies #speedracer #anime www.youtube.com/watch

I’ve been hearing very good things about Ryan Coogler’s new R-Rated film, Sinners. You can see the ratings above (or below), got an A on CinemaScore, and raked in well over $100 million globally in its opening weekend. I’m hyped! #movies #sinners #horror www.wired.com/story/sin…

I don’t know anyone who has had to deal with the horror of #cancer, but I lost both my parents to #dementia. I don’t have a segue, but John Billingsley, Johnathan Frakes, and Armin Shimerman from #StarTrek join #TrekCulture to talk about #PancreaticCancer support. #PanCan www.youtube.com/watch

I had intended to schedule this post for this morning, but it instead posted last night, so here it is. I’m seeking help from the #community to build a better, more fulfilling RSS feed reader experience, so check out my post for details. #RSS #mentalhealth #blogging tylerknowsnothing.com/2025/04/1…
Longform
Community Challenge: Help me refresh my RSS feeds
Ok. Here’s the deal. I’ve decided it’s high time I completely rebuild my RSS feeds to improve my sources for information, and I’d love some help. I used to follow a number of older, formerly reliable sites for tech and other news, but I’ve noted the steep increase in promoted goods, advertorials, listicles, and other junk gumming up my NetNewsWire feed. As such, l’ve become less interested in scanning for interesting tidbits of late.
The goal is not only to update my feeds and improve the quality of my incoming information, but to share it with whomever has like interests or would like a pre-curated base to start from. The first version is linked at the bottom of this post, and I’ll be posting …

WTF is #Blizzard doing?! Apparently hackers have been exploiting #Starcraft2 to spring clips of actual mass shootings and videos designed to trigger epileptic seizures, as well as other disturbing content, on unsuspecting players for at least A YEAR!! #videogames #terrorism kotaku.com/starcraft…

Not sure if you’ve noticed yet, but #ElonMusk is an idiot. He’s been so fixated on terraforming American #politics to better support Billionarian life, after decimating #Twitter, he’s let his money machines wither. Not that his presence will make things better. #uspol #tesla www.salon.com/2025/04/2…

I contend that #Apple made a mistake killing the #iPhoneSE and replacing it with the significantly more expensive #iPhone16e. They should have brought back the Mini and made a “Light” version of it for the SE line to have two small phones. #tech #smartphones #DumbTechTricks www.macworld.com/article/2…

Um… a 17 Mini, a perfect #smartphone that #Apple mistakenly cancelled after the 12 MIni and 13 Mini apparently “didn’t sell well enough”. Piffle. I’m still using my 12 Mini. It is the perfect mobile phone for peeps who don’t need a pro camera or a giant slab in their pocket. #tech #opinion

Whether you recognize the name #KevinGilbert or the band #ToyMatinee or not, this is a fantastic discussion among the members of that band that made that one album that makes an impression on anyone who listens. Sadly, we lost Kevin far, far too early. #music #progressivepop www.youtube.com/watch

The latest video from Spectacles on #YouTube must be seen as it clearly outlines the new stealth #authoritarianism through the lens of classic #fascism and how it differs. America is teetering on the precipice of a devastating fall. Learn now before it’s too late. #uspol www.youtube.com/watch

Yeah. It’s not that great, TBH. #Firefox, the movie and not the browser, is a fair film, but it’s not worth going out of your way to see it. I saw it in the theater when it was released and thought it was schmaltzy fun. YMMV. #film #movies www.slashfilm.com/1832419/c…

Thanks, #tariffs. #Anbernic has suspended US-bound shipments of their #retro #handhelds. You can still purchase any device that is already at a US warehouse, but that stock will run dry after a while, and no new devices will be arriving for now. #videogames liliputing.com/anbernic-…

I don’t know if I’ve shared much of Max Derrat’s work here, but this is fascinating if you’re interested in Eastern #philosophy as it relates to #VideoGames. In today’s episode, he discusses #FromSoftware’s #Sekiro. The connections are amazing. #StayYellow www.youtube.com/watch
