Yeah, It's Funny That Donald Trump Junior Was Silenced by Free-Speech Conservatives
 
Essentially, the "campus free speech" crowd's playbook consists of: one, saying liberal college students are hostile to free expression; two, going to college campuses and saying things that will piss off liberal college students; three, declaring the protests that inevitably ensue—which they had the clear intent of attracting—constitute a campaign by liberal college students to "silence" them. There's never any mention of, say, the extensive efforts at both the state and federal level to make it functionally illegal to criticize Israel's policies towards its Palestinian residents. And of course there's no mention of the fact that the President of the United States has declared the free press to be an enemy of the state. Those are the kind of First Amendment issues these folks are less concerned about. Read More

Here's the Real Reason Drake Was Booed Off Stage At a Music Festival This Weekend
 
Drake make be the best selling rapper of the decade, but that doesn't mean everyone loves him.

You Can—and Will—Take the Sonos Move Speaker Everywhere With You
 
For me, there's no more unpleasant scenario than being trapped alone with my own thoughts. Given this phobia, I keep a speaker in every room of my one-bedroom apartment, out of fear that I will be briefly without some sort of audio content to stimulate my brain. I have a Sonos speaker in my kitchen, one in the bedroom, and a Sonos Beam connected to my TV. No matter where I happen to go in my apartment, there's a song or podcast to keep my overactive brain occupied. But what if, heaven forbid, I'm briefly not in the vicinity of something that plays music? Do I hum? Do I talk to myself? The prospect is absolutely chilling.
