El Sonido on KEXP was their most-streamed show back when I moved here in 2020, and it often wasn't to my taste at the time, but Albina Cabrera and Goyri have really pushed the boundaries of genre and it has gotten so great over time!

Men: Fix your hearts. Now fix your friends' hearts. Fix other men. Please. We are begging you. We just want to go through life never having to wonder which colleague has made an electric puppet of us (or our children) to have demeaning sexual interactions with. Please.
the last three Most Disturbing Ads I’ve Ever Seen have all been CandyAI. really keep raising the bar on themselves
"And I never say no"
We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

At 61 years old, I had lost volume and wanted my younger body back quickly. Donor fat seemed like the best option.

My partner remembered that we have noted the absence of allspice dram in our home bar several times of late, so Santa brought me a bottle in my stocking. Nothing for it but to make Lion's Tails to support the chef while he was finishing the turkey. www.liquor.com/recipes/lion...
Good Luck Having Just One Lion’s Tail
The Lion’s Tail is a classic cocktail stemming from Prohibition. it combines bourbon with allspice dram and bitters.

The first couple of years living with COVID, when I did travel by plane, my CO2 meter would show a great improvement in cabin air quality after takeoff.
The last couple of years, that has not been the case at all. If they did AQ mitigation, they've stopped doing it.

One of the most dangerous persistent myths is that planes are safe due to ventilation.
In reality ventilation is only on part of the time, and there is bad ventilation before and after take off.
And viruses can still spread easily in crowds over short distances regardless of ventilation status.

As the Trump administration moves closer to crypto, major platforms are enabling meme coins tied to Nazi symbolism and deportation rhetoric, turning extremist ideology into speculative assets and pushing digital finance deeper into the ecosystem of hate and radicalization.

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between
