- Suno just raised a lot of money
#I’m confident that Suno sees itself as the next Spotify, only without all the pesky human artists that need to get paid to live and make art, because that’s the exact the kind of idiotic pitch that would raise — and eventually flush down the toilet — hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital.

- Martin Greenfield dies at 95.
He dressed six presidents, coached designers and made thousands of suits for TV shows and movies. But his beginnings were dismal: He learned to sew at Auschwitz.
A very incredible life.
