The White House also this week unveiled “America.gov,” a government AI chatbot that promises answers about “whatever you need from the government.” Users immediately started prompting the bot…

Peaches has shared the first-ever official remix of “Fuck the Pain Away,” her immortal banger that we recently named the greatest electroclash song of all time. The reworked version was created for Saber Interactive’s forthcoming video game Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival; it’s produced by Saber’s music director, Steve Molitz, and features a spoken-word voiceover by Doug Bradley, who played Pinhead in the original cult horror film series. Below, watch a very NSFW video that gives Barker’s movies a run for their money.“With this rework of the track, it frames my song in a darker, more twisted world,” Peaches said in…
