Do Spotify listeners care if their music is “humanized”? Aspiring musicians are churning out tracks using generative artificial intelligence. Some are even topping the charts. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/6rrmrA

In 1952, John Cage radically distilled the definition of music to its barest essence with his famous piece, 4'33".
In 2025, people who disseminate AI slop and call it music are orders of magnitude lazier than a composer who literally wrote four and a half minutes of nothing.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Not sorry but y'all need to stop acting like power structures don't exist when you start to think about social dynamics. It's fair to say everyone deserves a baseline of respect. we also don't do certain things to certain communities, because of the social history.

Long covid is real, and people who know how viruses work are still discovering much about its effects, which range from disruptive to devastating. But calling it "airborne HIV" or "airborne AIDS" is just so bizarre and inappropriate I'm really at a loss for words.
SARS-CoV-2 is not “airborne HIV” and I will not permit this narrative on my feed.
It’s an irresponsible and harmful claim made by people who understand nothing about viruses.

An animal study in Nature Neuroscience shows that high estrogen levels can enhance learning capabilities. #Neuroskyence 🧪
Estrogen modulates reward prediction errors and reinforcement learning - Nature Neuroscience
Dopamine encoding of reward prediction errors naturally fluctuates over females’ reproductive cycles with estrogenic signaling due to reduced expression of dopamine reuptake proteins.

They have it backwards:
Step 1: Make modern air travel a halfway-dignified experience,
Step 2: Some passengers might then start showing up better dressed for it.
Until then, it's PJs. Comfort has to come from somewhere, especially when you're in a long security line or an airborne sardine can.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
