I was never a fan of romance novels. My wife’s traumatic brain injury changed everything. on.wsj.com/4cI5Sdf

Essay | How My Wife’s Aneurysm Became a Gateway to Romantasy

When my wife suffered a traumatic brain injury, she wanted to read only romance novels. After getting past my distaste for the genre, I understood why.

Review | ‘Who Knows You by Heart’ captures the dark side of AI

"In 1999, I interviewed Prince for TIME and he told me to leave my tape recorder off because he didn’t trust what future technology might do with unauthorized recordings of his voice. At the time, I thought Prince was being paranoid ... I realize now that Prince wasn’t paranoid, he was prescient," writes @cjfarley time.com/7338205/rage-agains…

It's Time to Rage Against the AI Music Machine

If AI music takes over "humans will begin to echo the machines, and there will be a downward spiral into slop."

I love everything about @sza’s music and her brilliant album “SOS.” I hope she keeps getting nominated for #GRAMMYs and wins even more.

Haters are gonna hate, but I think so far this is a really strong #GRAMMYs broadcast, with variety, emotion and some great performances. I hope it ends on an up note!

Love to see Joni Mitchell perform at #Grammys. I interviewed her once and she was as amazing as you’d ever want. jonimitchell.com/library/vie…

Jay-Z is right—it’s crazy that @Beyonce has never won album of the year at the #Grammys despite all her other Grammy wins. It’s like if Michael Jordan had never been given MVP after all his championships.
