Nina and co's rock list last year had Jesus Lizard and Melt Banana on it, so I was looking forward to this year's!
If you say it's an off year for rock or, worse, nobody's making interesting guitar records, I will laugh in your face
The list goes on and on
(but for now, it's capped at 30)

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
