Spotify’s new AI tool creates playlists for any setting or feeling you ask for

Interestingly, the new tool goes beyond standard playlist creation requests based on genre or artists. Instead, prompts can include activities, colours, places, and emojis. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. To experiment with the AI Playlist, users can tap on the + button in their Library. They then can select one of the existing prompts or typer their own. The tool will offer a number of songs, which can be previewed, added, or deleted....

Tales From A Fixer Upper From A Guy Who Never Fixed Anything Before

This isn’t a revolutionary concept, but everything starts to change as you get older. Then one day you have a kid and you have to start worrying about shit like school districts. I wish I could shake every 25-year-old right now and tell them to cherish every moment. Eventually you find a house in a great neighborhood for a great price. Cracked plaster everywhere, carpet still in from the 70s, place is covered head to toe in wallpaper....

The Idea Of Purdue Winning A National Title Makes Me Want To Puke My Guts Out

What do I do?!? God, Jebus, Jersey Jerry I’m begging you to send me a sign. What if the Boilermakers actually pull off the win and become dry heaving the 2024 NCAA Champions. If Purdue wins, they’ll be able to give IU fans a taste of their own medicine. It will go on until IU has post season success. Granted 5 > 1, but the Hoosiers' banners have gathered a thick coating of dust....

Top 5 Worst Pains a Man Can Go Through

Today is one of those days when you walk into the office and it’s an absolute ghost town. It pains me to walk in here and not see anybody. In fact, it’s quite frightening. I literally started writing this blog so I would stop talking to myself. I’m not going to lie; everything you just read was completely pointless. I just wanted to spew to someone since I have no one to talk to....

For its part, the Netherlands is required to navigate a complex diplomatic and business landscape. Chinas alliance with Vladimir Putin plays a crucial role.

Dumping Them Out: Dumb Money

Earthquake Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. There’s an eclipse tomorrow. I had an “idea” earlier this week. I guess it’s not really an idea, because it’s nothing I would ever do. But that’s probably unrealistic. The eclipse is all over the news. You’d have to pull that prank on someone with no access to cable or internet. So naturally, my mind went to homeless people. And then when the eclipse starts they’d be like…....

The Way The Celtics Can Still Give You A Heart Attack In A Game That Means Nothing Is A True Gift

A normal, logical person should feel nothing in these games, regardless of the result. I know that’s not normal. I know it’s probably more sad than something to brag about, but I’m just being honest. My heart was racing the same way it was before Derrick White’s Game 6 tip in. For a game that meant absolutely nothing. Summer League, preseason, the Maine Celtics, it’s all the same to me....

All Time Bad Beat: Man Has Identity Stolen, Ends Up in Mental Hospital Because Nobody Believes He's Actually Him

The phrase “wild story” is thrown around all willy nilly here at Barstool Sports. So are the words preposterous, electric, and Deion Sanders. Not only is this story wild, but it’s also long. However, I will do my very best to regurgitate it in the most efficient way possible. You gotta have your head on a swivel when you’re employed by a hot dog cart. Hot dog cart employees are notoriously shady characters....

Comparing The Barstool Intramural Basketball Team To Professional/ College Players

Coach Klemmer:Brad Stevens Both coaches have small town values and style comparable to white bread. It’s even been said that Klemmer looks like Brad Stevens, but with a touch of the ‘tism. They might not be the most exciting, but whatever goes on in those heads produces winning basketball. Kenjac and Big Dom are guys you have on the sidelines for when shit pops off. Also, both are most likely to wear a kangol hat to a team dinner....

Dear Joe Mazzulla, Here Are 10 Clutch Time Plays You Need To Be Running In The Playoffs

The Celts are not awful in the clutch, their body of work tells you that. That might not be the sexy take, but it’s the truth. There is also this idea that the only evidence of improvement in this area comes via perfection. Sorry, basketball is not perfect. Game winning shots or shots in one possession games are extremely volatile. Be harder to guard, force the defense to make decisions, and manage the clock correctly....
