#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The English Beat - Special Beat Service Expanded 2012 Remaster (1982). I don’t recall if it was my first tape, but it’s the first I think of when reminiscing. I’ll never forget Rankin' Roger and Pato Banton. #music #ska #KROQ youtube.com/playlist
Wow! Just holy freakin' WOW!! #music #radiohead #creep #covers kottke.org/25/05/is-…
I’m honestly confused by some of the takes from this reviewer of Macs of “15 years” on what a move from #Windows to #macOS would entail, especially the idea that the Dock can’t show all running apps? WTF??!! #Apple #DitchMicrosoft #tech www.engadget.com/computing…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Oingo Boingo - Nothing to Fear (1982). Likely one of the most quintessential 80’s “New Wave” bands of all time that didn’t get global reach beyond a few big hits like Weird Science. Amazing musicians. #music #80s #KROQ www.youtube.com/watch
Well, this is just more stupid #capitalism at work. I guess I’ll have to now unsub from #Polygon’s RSS feeds. Generic corporate villain #Valnet has laid off most of the masthead. So, so stupid. Do the new owners really think people will stick around for AI slop? #videogames kotaku.com/polygon-s…
BWAHAHAHAHA… cough - cough …HAHAHAHA. Oh my, this is so very satisfying news! I cannot tell you how pleased I am to see even the suggestion of this, whether it pans out or not. #ElonMusk #Tesla #FAFO www.reuters.com/business/…
Oh, FFS. #racism #LostCause #cults #AmeriKKKa www.theroot.com/5-states-…
How gross. #Putin and #Russia really stretching to capture more treasure to fund his personal conquest to restore the CCCP. Not ironic at all that his criminality is what made Russia into a now former “Super Power”. #politics #videogames #authoritarianism www.engadget.com/gaming/ru…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Simple Minds - Live in the City of Diamonds (2025). Formed in 1977, this Scottish #ArenaRock #ArtRock band has been plowing along for nearly 50 years now, and still sounds fantastic! #music #live #simpleminds www.youtube.com/watch
If you know anyone who thinks #RFKjr “makes sense”, strap them down to a chair, force their eyelids open ala A Clockwork Orange, and make them watch this. #uspol #hhs #healthcare #EndTheInsanity www.youtube.com/watch

Winner of Film of the Year and the People’s Choice award for the 2024 Rookie Awards, “Student Accomplice” is the entry from a team of 30 from Brigham Young University’s School of #Animation. It’s easy to see why :) #TheRookies #BYU #Shorts www.youtube.com/watch

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…
Wow. How odd. #StarTrek #scifi #STTNW #SpongebobSquarepants #TV #animation www.youtube.com/watch
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
If you are able to tie your #MAGA loving friends, family or neighbors to a chair and force their eyes open so they must watch this, then please do so. #AdamSomething on #YouTube has a perfect explanation of why #TFG is an idiot. #uspol #finance #capitalism 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…
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 …
Too late. Don’t care. #marvel #jumpingtheshark #movies www.slashfilm.com/1841490/m…
OMFG, are these people serious?! With every new story about #capitalism’s ever-expanding braindead imbecility, I am losing hope that we can claw our way out of this morass of stupid. #AI #journalism #tech #news #idiocracy slashdot.org/story/25/…
