Today, Apple announced that it has acquired Primephonic, a service that specializes in streaming the classical genre, and will incorporate the app's functionality and playlists into Apple Music. The result will be "a significantly improved classical music experience," Apple said in a press release. There will also be a standalone Apple Music classical app coming sometime in 2022.

After announcing that one of its biggest stars, Rachel Nichols, would be removed from all NBA coverage after the fallout from the Maria Taylor tape, the network appears to have been duped by a high school football team. On Sunday, ESPN aired a high school football game between Florida's IMG Academy and Ohio's Bishop Sycamore. Anyone who watched the game could see as plain as day that IMG Academy is good, and Bishop Sycamore is bad. Like, really bad. Complex | | | GET YOUR ADVENTURE ON, SAFELY If you're out braving the wilderness in the dark, whether it's hiking, spelunking, or some other rigorous activity, you really should be wearing a helmet. We don't want to sound like your mom, but while helmets may not exactly be ultra-cool, they're still a lot cooler than a head wound, brain damage, or worse from an unexpected tumble without one. Boing Boing | | | ZOOM DYSMORPHIA IS FOLLOWING US INTO THE REAL WORLD In the age of Zoom, people became inordinately preoccupied with sagging skin around their neck and jowls; with the size and shape of their nose; with the pallor of their skin. They wanted cosmetic interventions, ranging from Botox and fillers to face-lifts and nose jobs. Kourosh and colleagues surveyed doctors and surgeons, examining the question of whether video-conferencing during the pandemic was a potential contributor to body dysmorphic disorder. They called it 'Zoom dysmorphia'. Wired | | | ARE THESE MUSHROOM SUPPLEMENTS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CURE LYME DISEASE? Talk about weird science! While you might not expect mushrooms to be the pinnacle of health treatments, Alchemi is on a mission to change the way we think about the fungi once and for all. With a seasoned history of farming mushrooms since the 1970s, Alchemi is now home to the biggest functional mushroom farm in the United States, grown sustainably using 100% solar energy on California land. Incorporating superfoods and adaptogens to boost immunity, you can try Alchemi mushrooms for yourself at a 15% discount using the promo code MUSHROOMFAM. The founder maintains that the mushrooms helped cure his Lyme disease — a bold claim, but perhaps there's some truth to it. Alchemi | | | PSYCHIATRIST CLAIMS PSYCHEDELIC EXPERIENCES COME FROM SOURCE OUTSIDE THE BRAIN A prominent psychiatrist has claimed that "nonordinary states of consciousness" (NSCs) such as those generated by psychedelic drugs may arise from somewhere beyond the brain. Explaining his eccentric theory in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, Professor Paul Grof does not identify or elaborate on the nature of this mysterious source, which he merely describes as "nonlocal consciousness".
