The best music streaming services in 2025

There’s no such thing as one “best” music streaming service. Most of these apps are designed around the same principles and provide access to a huge music catalog. Pretty much none of them are paying artists properly, yet nearly all of them are steadily raising prices. If you’ve used one to build up a library over the years, that one is most likely to be in tune with your mu

OpenAI shouldn’t accept Elon Musk’s $97 billion bid to buy it

Let’s say you own one of the most valuable homes in a lush, gated community that has been earmarked as a future point of growth for decades to come. One day, a letter appears in your mailbox, offering to buy your property for between a third and two-thirds of its value on the open market.

On the face of it, you should turn it down. But the person offering to buy it owns every house in the estate, and runs the HOA. They’re also friends with the police chief and the fire department.
