This is incredibly disappointing.
When she is at her best, Mary J. Blige makes some of the most viscerally human music you’ve ever heard in your life.

It’s such a fucking drag to see her in a new commercial for Suno, the generative AI music platform.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.

He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

I desperately hope NYC voters understand ranked choice voting this time around, because the current mayor hates New York City, he's hiring a deputy who hates New York City, and Andrew Cuomo hates New York City. And like Adams, Cuomo doesn't even live here.

This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA.
