Folded by Kehlani is the defining song of 2025.

Got everyone and their mama doing remixes in a way we haven’t seen since Marvin’s Room in the 2010s blog era.

Also shows that you can use your platform for activism and STILL reach new heights of success.

Erewhon is rumored to be opening in Dallas which means the local influencer scene is about to turn up the vanity and insufferability to 100.

I can tell which journalists actually thoughtfully curate their new music Friday picks versus which journalists just list what’s on the front page of Spotify and Apple lol

While waiting to be seated at a restaurant, my kids (3 of them, 7-13) caught sight of a kids book full of AI generated images. Their mocking was ruthless.

Y’all…I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this. Everything is *not* a distraction from the Epstein files. There can be multiple horrible things happening at once.
