Interview Magazine was founded by Andy Warhol and usually publishes — you guessed it — interviews. But what happens when a famous artist would rather not sit for someone else’s questions? On April 7th, Donald Glover provided an answer of sorts when the magazine published him interviewing himself. “Yeah, so first question, why’d you want to do this?” he writes, before responding, “I guess I don’t love interviews and I asked myself, ‘Why don’t you like interviews?’ And I think part of it is that the questions are usually the same.

By Annika Lautens Date February 28, 2022 It’s good to be back in Italy. The temperature is warmer. The air smells tastier. And the fashion somehow feels posher.

As seen in the previous two fashion weeks, boudoir dressing and exquisite tailoring continue to trend, with many designers opting out of the serotonin-boosting brights of the spring and into a more subdued palette for fall. But…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Song of Scarabs and Fallen Stars? Like so many of my story ideas, the idea for this book came to me in the shower!

It seems that a great deal of musicians had struggles in school during their youth, and Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro was no exception.

Latency is the technical word that describes how long it takes data to get from one place to another. You can measure it with a ping. Your computer sends a small packet of data to a server, the server sends it back again, and you time how long it takes. Latency varies depending on three things: how fast data can physically travel through the network, which route it takes, and whether it has to queue, according to the computer hardware manufacturer Apposite Technologies (opens in new tab).Measuring latencyMeasured in milliseconds, latency is often expressed in terms of its “round trip time”…

This means that, despite the various options for making online payments, true digital cash doesn’t exist. This is not merely a theoretical distinction.
