 Ariana Grande unveiled the packaging for her newest fragrance, Thank U, Next, named after her most recent album. Based on the name and the broken heart-shaped bottle, one might assume the base notes would include boys' tears and wine — but Grande just confirmed that's not the case.
In a press release, Grande explained that the forthcoming scent smells a lot like her first fragrance, Ari, but more summery. "I revisited Ari’s fruity pear and raspberry notes and changed it up by adding some coconut," she said. You'll also find that the perfume is cocktailed with notes of rose petals, macaroon sugar, and velvet musk. As far as the bottle goes, she says it aligns with the overall message of the song the fragrance is named for: moving forward from a challenging chapter. [MORE] |

 Sunshine, a pool, hot weather and fantastic music makes for a perfect recipe to a blissed out festival weekend. Nobody knows this better than Splash House. Held in the idyllic desert oasis of Palm Springs twice a year, the two-day event beckons some of the most exciting names across the new wave of house music to its three poolside stages, making for one of the most unique festival experiences to grace the West coast in recent years.
It's become tradition for attendees to come with their Splash House best for each edition, dressing to the nines in swim and summer ready attire. Highlights from looks this year feature holographic and leopard print materials, neon colored sunnies and bejeweled face accessories. [MORE] |

 The co-founder of Chinese retail and e-commerce giant Alibaba (one of Amazon’s fiercest competitors) is making moves in NYC. Earlier today, the NBA announced that billionaire Joe Tsai will buy the Barclays Center, along with the remaining share of the Brooklyn Nets that he didn’t already own. According to the New York Post, he’ll pay around $700 million for the arena.
Tsai, who already owns 49 percent of the Brooklyn Nets, will get the 51 percent controlling interest in the team and the arena. Both Barclays Center and the basketball team will cost him more than $3 billion, the Post says.
“We are committed to maintaining Barclays Center’s iconic status by bringing together culture, community, and entertainment for our fans and everyone in New York,” Tsai said in a statement. [MORE] |

 Burning Man isn’t just fun and games, and anyone who suggests otherwise is either full of bologna or selling something. It's an extreme place on all counts, pairing the blissful with the bastardized, and all too often the hardships are discounted for the sake of playful myth.
Taking a moment or three for the introspective is a staple of the Burning Man experience. The playa holds a special capacity for reality, and like most powerful medicine, it doesn’t necessarily taste like peaches and cream. It’s a healthy process (most of the time), but rarely without an adequate amount of strife. [MORE] |

 Understanding what makes something offensive or hurtful is difficult enough that many people can’t figure it out, let alone AI systems. And people of color are frequently left out of AI training sets. So it’s little surprise that Alphabet/Google -spawned Jigsaw manages to trip over both of these issues at once, flagging slang used by black Americans as toxic.
To be clear, the study was not specifically about evaluating the company’s hate speech detection algorithm, which has faced issues before. Instead it is cited as a contemporary attempt to computationally dissect speech and assign a “toxicity score” — and that it appears to fail in a way indicative of bias against black American speech patterns.
The researchers, at the University of Washington, were interested in the idea that databases of hate speech currently available might have racial biases baked in — like many other data sets that suffered from a lack of inclusive practices during formation. [MORE] |

 Apple has joined the cadre of tech titans who are hunting for prime office space in Manhattan, The Real Deal reports.
The company is generally searching for between 200,000 and 500,000 square feet for a new office space, but could even snag up to 750,000 of square feet, sources told The Real Deal. Among the properties Apple has scouted include 50 Hudson Yards—the Norman Foster-designed tower rising on 34th Street and 10th Avenue—the James A. Farley Post Office redevelopment, and One Madison Avenue, the sources said.
These are properties that are also being eyed by tech behemoths like Amazon and Facebook as they search for space to house their ever-expanding companies. In Apple’s case, the new space would likely accommodate news hire the company plans to make, The Real Deal reports. [MORE] |

 Bus shelters across the five boroughs are about to become more than just a place to wait for a ride. The Public Art Fund, along with advertising firm JCDecaux, launched “from sun to sun,” an exhibition by photographer Elle Pérez that brings a series of images to 100 bus shelters throughout the city.
The 16-photograph series explores the day-to-day of New York places and communities, where Pérez grew up. The series features Pérez’s friends who are impacting their community, facets of NYC’s urban landscape, and topics of heritage and identity.
One image shows a student and a teacher in the Bronx planting evergreen shrubs and raspberries in a public school garden. Others show details of the streetscape that may go unnoticed, including entangled bikes, crevices in the pavement, and damaged subway car interiors. Another one alludes to the artist’s own heritage, with a black-and-white Puerto Rican flag, often used as a symbol of resistance both on the island and among the diaspora. [MORE] |

 As of this week, it be slightly easier to find Lime’s dockless bikes—currently in use in the city in Staten Island’s North Shore and the Rockaways—in Google Maps.
The micromobility company announced today that its two-wheelers will now appear as a transit option in Google Maps, surfacing the locations of nearby bikes, along with crucial information like how much of a charge they have, how many are in a particular location, and the estimated time it will take to use a Lime to get to your destination.
And if you cross the Hudson into Hoboken—where a scooter-sharing program piloted by Lime began earlier this year—the electric scooters will show up as a transit option for short trips, too. [MORE] |

 This year marks three consecutive decades of Burning Man in the vast expanse of Black Rock Desert. These vacant badlands extend for miles, just past the eternally quaint township of Gerlach, Nevada. The town was founded as a gypsum mining operation over a century ago, and it hasn’t changed much since. The 2010 Census registered a town population of 206 residents living in roughly three square miles, and there’s only one main road through the region. It’s a simple place, ripe with solitude in its isolation.
But in the desert, just beyond Gerlach’s city limits, Burning Man has pioneered an ambitious medium of societal interaction; a deranged and dusty, yet artistically decadent refuge from the sterility of the Default World. [MORE] |

 Toraiz Squid :
A 16-track sequencer which can manipulate sequences on the fly, with connectivity for midi, CV/gate and din/sync devices. With lots of features, it blows the cheaper Beatstep Pro out of the water but there’s no Song Mode, only Pattern Sets; hopefully this will be fixed in an update. [MORE] |

 Expensive and New York City are two words that often go hand in hand, especially when we’re talking about real estate. The city has been the second-most-expensive place to rent in the country for several years now, behind only San Francisco. The median rent for a one-bedroom recently surpassed $2,900, while a two-bedroom can easily cost upward of $3,200. As far as buying goes, according to Zillow, the median price of homes currently listed in New York is $674,000—but that number is much higher in Manhattan.
Still, the age-old question of whether it’s best to rent or buy is one that’s frequently asked by those mulling a move to New York—and even current city denizens.
And here’s the truth: There is no easy, one-size-fits-all answer; whether you should rent or buy depends on a number of factors. [MORE] |
