I love Mobile Police #Patlabor, an #anime #mecha series unlike any other. It’s been around for a very long time and will be returning next year with Patlabor EZY. If you are new to Patlabor, check out STEVEM’s fantastic retrospective. #animation #TV #movies #scifi #mamoruoshii www.youtube.com/watch

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…

So… are those really going to be the doors on a taxi? A two-seat taxi? This is as much a taxi as #ElonMusk’s #Tesla sewers is mass transit. Does it really take so little for the “masses” to think you’re a genius? #idiocracy #SIASD #tech www.jalopnik.com/1865786/e…

Let’s show NSMug’s new #YouTube channel some love. He’s got six subs now. So, views, shares, likes, and more subs are appreciated. He’s doing his part to preserve the Olde' Ways and peeps who work this hard for love need support. #apple #retrocompting www.youtube.com/watch

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the loss of #TV icon George Wendt, known worldwide as Norm Peterson from #Cheers. Kottke posted this supercut of every time Norm walked into the bar. Pure gold way to celebrate pure gold. #obits #GeorgeWendt #TooSoon kottke.org/25/05/sup…

A surprise to nobody, aside from its sudden appearance, #TFG’s pick to run the #IRS, one Billy Long, is on tape promising “friends” favors once he’s installed. Who’s got the receipts? Why, #Oregon’s Sen. Ron Wyden. #news #uspol #grifters thehill.com/business/…

Oh #Adobe. You’re such a glutton for punishment. #Capitalism hasn’t yet learned the true meaning of #FAFO, but I have a feeling this might finally tip the cow. Pixelmator Pro is $50. Period. No subs. #AdobeCreativeCloud #AI #bullshit slashdot.org/story/25/…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Smithereens - A Date with the Smithereens (1994). I’ve loved this band for decades. Gritty #powerpop by beat poets with a noir bent, their albums are imminently listenable. #music www.youtube.com/watch

For oldsters: Watch this video to confirm your admiration for these shows. For youths: Watch this video to find new shows that’ll blow your mind. Conclusion: Any list that includes Cowboy Bebop must be accurate. That is all. #scifi #tv #90s youtu.be/uT42ldiYM…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Cristopher Cross - A Night in Paris (Live)(2013). Do NOT mock me. Chris is an excellent musician and sometimes it’s nice to put on something calmer to facilitate getting stuff done 😁 #music #yachtrock #livemusic youtube.com/playlist

I honestly wish Rob had spent more time with this car, the creator, and the shop. Sadly, this video is just too short, but DAMN this #BMW #E30 is insane! Can it even be called an E30 anymore? What a beast! #cars #topgear www.youtube.com/watch
Wow. #WTF peeps!? How is it possible that a training ship of the Mexican Navy, and a TALL SHIP at that, did NOT know that the Brooklyn FUCKING Bridge wasn’t TALL enough for their TALL SHIP to pass under!!?? Just WOW!! #breakingnews #mexico #newyorkcity #bridgecollision apnews.com/article/b…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: It Bites - The Big Lad in the Windmill (1986). I’d been listening to Francis Dunnery for years before I found his previous #ProgRock #ProgPop band. You’ve never heard prog like this and it’s excellent! #music #progressive #80s www.youtube.com/watch
video games
Like Dungeon Chill here, I really like the #90s to #00s era of games, mostly because the industry hadn’t yet settled into a capitalist groove and experimented a lot. I spent two hours watching this video about Kowloon’s Gate for #Playstation. #videogames www.youtube.com/watch

The Canadian #ProgRock band #Rush has been one of my favorite bands period. I also adore the art of #animation. In 1985 the two came together in an animated short broadcast on Canadian TV that year. Now you can watch it. It’s not great, but the music is. #music #scifi #TV www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Lari Basilio - Redemption (2025). She has her own sound, to be sure, but if you’ve never heard her work think of a mix of Eric Johnson’s melodiousness and Joe Satriani’s crunchy vibes. Great guitarist. #music #rock #instrumental youtu.be/C2eTZr25h…

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Magic Pie - Maestro (2025). I may be a progger, but I’m not familiar with the Norwegian #ProgRock band Magic Pie. This is their sixth album and in typical prog fashion opens with an 18 minute epic! Dig in!! #music #prog youtube.com/playlist

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Rush - Vapor Trails (2002). Always Rush, but ever the musical chameleons, the trio that sounds like a five-piece electrifies with a darker, heavier exploration of Neil’s compelling lyrical stories. #music #progrock #hardrock www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Sting - The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985). Saw Sting on tour for this album and was blown away by his drummer, the amazing Omar Hakim. Fantastically textured album. #music #80s #pop #altpop www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Sting - Ten Summoners Tales (1993). I saw #ThePolice play one of their last shows and #Sting on his The Dream of the Blue Turtles tour. Just great music. This time with the amazing Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. #music #pop #90s www.youtube.com/watch

Fascinating how a lot of solutions for fixing complex resource problems caused by the explosive growth of humanity frequently go back to the cradle of life; the ocean. Deep Sea Reverse Osmosis (DSRO) seems like a great solution for our water problems. Just watch the video, but in short it reduces the power consumption by 60% over land-based RO desalination plants, and avoids a lot of its complications. #science #tech #drought #water www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Counting Crows - Butter Miracle, The Complete Sweets! (2025). Yes, a new Crows album. It’s been a while. I wasn’t much of a Crows listener, so I don’t have a lot to say, but its mostly good so far. #music #rock youtube.com/playlist

Remember when we found out that pretty much everything being claimed by #Conservatives was a lie designed to rip #humanrights and #civilrights away from protected groups and decided that was stupid so stopped believing them? Yeah, me neither. #EndFascism #uspol #lawfare www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying #Live @ Nothing Manor: Steely Dan - Live at London’s Hammersmith Apollo (2009). Dan Belcher is an appropriately named Dan Fan. He personally remasters old Dan shows out of love. This is a newly released soundboard recording. #music #steelydan www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Irakere - Live at Ronnie Scotts (1993). The wife just turned me on to these astonishing peeps. Formed in ‘75 the band blends #AfroCubanJazz and other regional musical traditions with #rock & #funk and clearly jam. #music #jazz #jazzfusion www.youtube.com/playlist
