#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Spin Doctors - Face Full of Cake (2025). Not on my new releases bingo card, but here it is. First new album from the doctors of spin in 12 years. While it still has their salacious charm, it sounds more subdued. Age, I guess. #music #jambands youtube.com/playlist

So, it seems that #Netease, the makers of the wildly popular #MarvelRivals live service team shooter might be prepping for a #Nintendo #Switch2 port and is testing an experimental Switch Shader Compilation Mode. It depends on how you read it, I suppose. #videogames

A pal ‘o mine apparently tossed my logo into an #AI machine and it spat this retro classic out. Of note, we have no idea where the brain robot got the “HUSSAN” at the bottom, so that’s hilarious! Also, that’s not really me, but it’s fun. #NotQuiteArt #AritificialHallucination

Just to get a sense of how brilliant #BradBird is when it comes to #animation, check out this ancient pencil test from his post-CalArts days at #Disney. It’s formatted as a trailer for “The Spirit”, an adaptation of Will Eisner’s #comics. Watch. www.youtube.com/watch

So, this #techbro wannabe was so far up his own ass that he overpromised and had to fake it. Don’t believe these idiots and their claims over #AI. This is as legit as companies worth billions that don’t make any revenue. #tech #scams #fraud #FAFO #capitalism yro.slashdot.org/story/25/…

Just a simple reminder… #TFG’s “No More DEI” means an end to #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion. No more people of color. No more recognition that other cultures are also human beings. All to be replaced with institutionalized #racism. #truthbomb #fucktrump

I’ve blogged about #advertising before. I hate it, and I’m not alone. Kōdō Simone feels the same way and calls for abolishing all advertising, not just regulating it. I’m all in for this idea. It’s a cancer… a disease… a blight and it needs to go. #capitalism boingboing.net/2025/04/0…
You’ll need $450K, but for that you’ll get the most beautiful car ever made, built by hand in Italy from all bespoke parts and 98% sourced from Italian suppliers, all but the batteries for the EV version. #AlfaRomeo #TotemAutomobili #cars www.youtube.com/watch

While it remains unknown what technology #Nintendo has developed for the new #Switch2 #JoyCons, it is crystal clear that they have done everything in their power to prevent another stick drift debacle.

If you are tempted to watch Gerard Butler’s 2017 disaster movie disaster “Geostorm” because it’s trending on #Netflix, don’t. My wife put it on our watchlist not knowing that it has an 18% #RottenTomatoes score. It’s terrible, like 2020’s “Greenland”. #movies www.slashfilm.com/1825458/g…

As heartbreaking as it seems, #Nintendo’s pricing for the #Switch2 and its games is not an increase over previous years. For more details on the why and how of that, check out Nintendo Forecasts' video on the matter. #videogames #inflation #economics www.youtube.com/watch

I’m not sure the downside indicated is an actual downside. From all indications, the #LiveAction How To Train Your Dragon is fantastic, bucking the trend of such remakes. I just hope the flying scenes evoke the same emotions as the originals. #movies #animation #httyd www.slashfilm.com/1825943/h…

Um… yeah. Realign your perspective on #AI. #Capitalism doesn’t intend to leverage AI for the betterment of humanity. Instead, they plan on using it in conjunction with a range of other technologies to eliminate humans from the money-making process. #tech arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

Ford brought a version of the #Ford #Sierra over here and called it the #Merkur XR4Ti. Despite being better, it barely sold thanks to shitty dealerships upselling buyers to shitty #Lincolns for higher commissions. This is why we can’t have nice things. #cars #capitalism www.youtube.com/watch
