On Thursday night at 11:45 pm local time, multiple missiles which Syrian military sources believe were launched from the vicinity of the Israeli-held Golan Heights were fired at Damascus, with Syrian media saying air defense troops intercepted and downed a number of them before they could reach their targets. Social media users posted videos of air defence troops intercepting projectiles over the night sky. In accordance with long-standing practice, the Israeli military did not confirm or deny their involvement in the attack.

It’s basically socially sanctioned stalking, as actively aided and abetted by retailers like florists, chocolatiers and sellers of Hallmark cards.

Just ask Winston Peters. One of the two SFO investigations relates to claims that NZ First funnelled monetary donations through the secretive NZ First Foundation to avoid public disclosure as required under the Electoral Act. And just to clarify, the foundation’s name is not the “Secretive…

This AI Travis Scott Is A Pretty Good Rapper And Obsessed With Food

Remember when Grimes said that "live music is going to be obsolete soon" because of AI art? Well, it looks like Travis Scott will be the first casualty of the robot wars, as digital agency Space150 has already created a fake Travis Scott song using artificial intelligence that they're calling, yes, Travis Bott. Adweek reports that Travis Bott's sure-to-be-a-hit debut single, "Jack Park Canny Dope Man," was generated entirely by a machine learning model trained on Travis Scott's music. Space150 fed Travis Scott lyrics into a text generator model for two weeks to make the verses, and additional neural network programs were used to produce the beat. "We were sort of fascinated with like, 'What if we tried to make a song — like an actual good song — by using AI and basically creative directing AI?'” explains Ned Lampert, executive creative director at Space150. “And so we chose Travis Scott just because he is just such a unique artist and he has a unique sound and everything sort of has

Worriers – “Big Feelings”

Next month, the hearty and melodic punk band Worriers will follow up their great 2017 album Survival Pop with a new one called You Or Someone You Know. For this one, they worked with John Agnello, the veteran indie rock producer whose credits include albums from Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile, and Waxahatchee. Worriers have already dropped the early tracks "PWR CPLE" and "Terrible Boyfriend," and today they've dropped another new one called "Big Feelings." Like so many other Worriers songs, "Big Feelings" is a sort of anthem about fumbling through the difficulties of being a human being and interacting with other human beings. It's also a big, charged-up midtempo jam with a very serious hook. It's funny how you can sound totally confident bashing out songs about not feeling confident at all. Worriers are heading out on tour soon with both Brian Fallon and John K. Samson, which makes a whole lot of sense, since the song gives off serious Gaslight Anthem/Weakerthans vibes. Those
