As much of the country hems and haws about legalizing a plant that nearly half of adults in the U.S. have tried at least once, Denver is ahead of the curve, as usual: The city has voted in an initiative that will decriminalize hallucinogenic mushrooms.
As someone who has watched this season of Game of Thrones and zero others (I know), I have come to understand the characters in a few ways: 1) Cultural osmosis, i.e, what has incidentally seeped into my head over the last 20 years I’ve been forced to listen to conversations about the Starks and the Neds and the…

Holly Herndon is mother to an AI baby. Its name is Spawn and for the past few years Herndon has been training its machine-learning program on her vocals, letting it mutate and create its own noises, not unlike a gurgling toddler just developing its voice.
There are many reasons to never take a dip in a Trump resort pool, but one of the most practical is that you might get sick. (Who can say what—or who—lays dormant in Trump pool water?) According to a report by Quartz, pools at the Trump resorts in Florida have been shut down “far more frequently” for health and safety…
On Wednesday, drivers for Uber, Lyft, and lesser-known services like Via and Juno will sign out of their apps and stop picking up passengers as part of a global strike against these companies’ abysmal treatment of drivers.
