Don't assume what Bad Bunny meant when he said "American" at that Grammys was that it was U.S.-centric. The notion of "americano" speaks to a more global hemispheric identity.

We’ve been talking with writers, artists, and actors, and they’re not worried about AI’s abilities, they’re mad that it stole its creativity from them and worried that it’s now being used in ways that threaten to dry up the pipeline of creative jobs that gave many their start.

Ebro In The Morning Comes To An End At Hot 97 - RadioInsight While awaiting official word, it appears that the Superadio syndicated “Ebro In The Morning” featuring Ebro Darden, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez has exited MediaCo Hip Hop “Hot 97” WQHT New York

Ebro, Laura Stylez, and Rosenberg are a one of a kind team: astute, funny, and most importantly, principled, whether talking NYC politics or Palestine.

Martyr!

Was an interesting weekend to finish this book to say the least, but wanted to recommend MARTYR! to anyone who hasn’t read it. Just astoundingly beautiful prose (you can tell the author is a poet), with so much to say about the stories we tell about ourselves and others.
