"The most-listened to Suno generation of all time is a song called “Cat,” which is just the word “cat” repeated over and over again. Pretty good tbh. It has almost 900,000 listens.

Once in a while, you'll see some blowhard railing about the modern world. I recently saw someone decrying the fact that Star Trek had "gone woke". This Star Trek? OK, you can argue about whether Kirk and Uhura were forced to kiss in that episode. But how does anyone look at Star Trek - with […]
