Listen to this AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd.
It goes so damn hard.
It's by "Ghostwriter977" on TikTok and it's blowing up on socials + streaming platforms.
UMG, which controls around 1/3 of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban AI.
A modern Napster moment.
Will be fascinating to watch this all unfold in real-time.
Jerry Seinfeld was asked about Father’s Day.
Does he do anything special to celebrate?
Any specific festivities with his kids?
You’d expect Seinfeld, a legendary comedian, to respond with a funny quip about being a dad.
But he didn’t.
Seinfeld said:
“I don’t need any special days. They’re all special. We spend a lot of time together, and I enjoy every second of it.”
In just a few seconds, Seinfeld explained how to live.

Lesson: Find joy in the ordinary
We tend to glamorize extraordinary events.
• Lavish vacations
• Getting a dream job
• Winning a championship
But those events are a tiny part of our lives.
Truth is, most of our days are ordinary.
“I’m a believer in the ordinary and mundane,” Seinfeld says.
There’s joy in ordinary.
There’s satisfaction in doing the mundane.

Lesson: Relish the “garbage” time
Seinfeld doesn’t believe in “quality time.”
He thinks it misses the whole point.
“I always find that a little sad when [parents] say, ‘We have quality time,’” Seinfeld said. “I don’t want quality time. I want the garbage time.”
• Playing in the backyard
• Looking for birds at the park
• Watching a movie on the couch
This is “garbage” time as parent.
It’s the absolute best time there is.

Lesson: Eat late-night Cheerios
It’s easy to get on the treadmill of life.
Caught up in your goals and routines.
But sometimes, we need to break the rules.
Here’s how Seinfeld described garbage time with his kids:
“You see them in their room reading a comic book and you get to watch that for a minute, or [having] a bowl of Cheerios at 11 o’clock at night when they’re not even supposed to be up. The garbage, that’s what I love.”
Stop optimizing for a second.
Allow yourself to live life.
Eat the late-night Cheerios.

Seinfeld is talking about fatherhood.
But he’s really talking about life.
• Find joy in the ordinary
• Relish the process
• Make time to live
Simple lessons for all of us.
