Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Happy 75th birthday to Tina Weymouth. Love this photo of her and Grandmaster Flash, taken by Laura Levine in 1981. Spotted at MAC's fab Golden Age of Hip Hop exhibition in Marseille several years ago
