Pitchfork Music Festival co-founder launches new Chicago event Sound and Gravity
Many fans were heartbroken when they learned Pitchfork Music festival was leaving Chicago for good after 19 years.
But now one of the festival's co-founders is working on a new event featuring a wide range of musical genres.
Mike Reed organized Sound and Gravity to run from Sept. 10 through 14. Instead of being concentrated on several stages in a park, like the Pitchfork festival, was, the new festival will span multiple venues including Constellation, Hungry Brain, Judson & Moore, Beat Kitchen, Guild Row and Rockwell on the River.
Sound and Gravity will feature 48 musical acts spanning a diverse range of genres including experimental, contemporary classical, jazz and indie.
This is the first major event from Reed since Pitchfork Music Festival. You can find more information, a full lineup, and purchase tickets at soundandgravity.org.

Summer Nights In The City: An Ode, With Fashion Made To Move In
It is the beginning of May, one of the first truly beautiful weeks of the year. I put on a light jacket that buttons all the way to my neck. I'm in a little red box like a fishbowl, all done up in dim lighting. An open bar. I am wearing a see-through dress that was made before the Depression—hand-stitched, short-sleeved, with little blue ribbons on the skirt. I take a sip of my wine, a cheap red blend. The party spills onto the streets. Everyone around me is smoking. This party—a party for a magazine—could be any party in New York that I have been to. What makes it special is the fact that I do not feel the urge to cross my arms due to the cold. What makes it special is that I am in love. That my hair is so long that I can wear it in two braids. That I can feel summer around the corner.

Here Are the Latest iPhone and Samsung Emoji and What Every Emoji Means
Apple added eight new emoji to all iPhones when the company released iOS 18.4 in March, and Samsung brought those same emoji to some devices in April with the initial release of One UI 7. The new emoji include a face with bags under its eyes and a splatter, but what do these new emoji, and the thousands of others, mean? A "😃" or "❤️" are easy to understand, but how are "😩" and "😭" different, and what does it mean when someone sends you food emoji like "🍆" or "🍑"? Over time, emoji meanings have become subjective, depending on a message's context and wider cultural trends. That face says it all. Apple Which shaking smiley face should you use? Is there a difference between each different colored heart? Does the peach emoji actually mean fruit anymore? Here's how to figure out what all 3,790 emoji mean and what emoji could be next. Read more: We Could Get a Sasquatch Emoji Soon Emojipedia is here to help Emojipedia is an online encyclopedia of emoji managed by people who research emoji. The site sorts emoji into nine categories, including Smileys, People, Objects, Activity and more. Each category then breaks down emoji into further subsections. So if you click into Smileys, for example, you'll see sections like Smiling & Affectionate and Sleepy & Unwell. If you click an individual emoji, Emojipedia will give you a brief description of that emoji. For example, here's what Emojipedia writes about the "🤍" white heart emoji: "A white heart emoji, used for love and affection. Also commonly used to discuss someone passing away or reference something heavenly or angelic." Emojipedia will also give you a list of other emoji that this particular emoji works well with. In the case of the "🎁" wrapped gift emoji, for example, Emojipedia's suggestions include the "🥳" partying face and the "🛒" shopping cart. What's a text message without an emoji or two? Jason Cipriani/CNET Each Emojipedia entry also shows you the different artwork for each emoji across platforms, as well as how the artwork evolved. The emoji entry will also show you shortcodes and other names for each emoji, if applicable. What are the most popular emoji? You may have your own go-to emoji, but according to Emojipedia, these are the most popular emoji as of the beginning of June. The list changes periodically, so what's popular now might not be popular next month or around a holiday. Note that not all platforms support all the latest emoji, so they may not all appear on your device. What are the latest emoji? Emojipedia In September, Google unveiled Emoji 16.0, which includes eight new emoji. Here are the new emoji. Apple included these emoji with iOS 18.4 in March, and Samsung brought these emoji to some devices with One UI 7 in April. Other Samsung devices should get these emoji with One UI 7 in the next few weeks. WhatsApp introduced these emoji to its app in January. How often are new emoji added? Anyone can submit an idea for a new emoji. The Unicode Standard -- a universal character encoding standard -- is responsible for creating new emoji. Unicode proposed nine new emoji in November, 2024, including a Sasquatch and an orca. However, those are just proposed emoji. Unicode will decide in September which emoji to add next. Emojipedia What about custom emoji, like Apple's Genmoji? Apple unveiled its emoji generator, Genmoji, at WWDC 2024, and the tech giant included the feature in iOS 18.2. However, only people with an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max or a device from the iPhone 16 lineup can access Genmoji for now. If you can't use Genmoji and want to create your own custom emoji, Emojipedia is home to two custom emoji generators. Emojipedia First is Emojipedia's AI emoji generator. You can use this tool to create anything from a frog wearing a cowboy hat to a heart shaped pizza. You type your description of the emoji into the generator, and the tool will create an emoji based on your description. You can then download or copy your custom emoji to your clipboard and use it as a sticker across messaging apps like WhatsApp and iMessage. This emoji generator is free, but you can only generate three emoji per day so make sure you describe your emoji as much as possible so you don't waste one of your tries. If you do run out of AI emoji generations for the day, you can also use the Emoji Mashup Bot, which combines two emoji from the Twemoji set. You can use this as many times as you want, but you can only choose up to 113 emoji to combine and they are all smileys. That means you can't be as creative in your creation as you might be in the AI emoji generator. All this just for emoji? Yeah, but wait there's more! Emojipedia also hosts the World Emoji Awards on World Emoji Day, July 17. Awards are given for things like Most Popular New Emoji and Most Anticipated Emoji. Winners are determined by popular vote on X, formerly known as Twitter, and any emoji approved the year prior is eligible to win. New emoji are added every year, and there are even awards given out for new emoji. Emojipedia The winner for the Most Popular New Emoji in 2024 was the head shaking horizontally (🙂↔️) followed by the head shaking vertically (🙂↕️) and the phoenix (🐦🔥). The winner of the Most Anticipated Emoji went to the face with bags under its eyes and the Most 2024 Emoji award went to the melting face (🫠) for the second year in a row -- it still fits. The sparkles (✨) emoji was also given the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024. Emojipedia wrote that this emoji has been among the most popular emoji since 2015, and it's been adopted as the go-to image for AI. In 2023, the most popular emoji was the pink heart emoji (🩷) and the runner-up was the shaking face (🫨). The most anticipated emoji award in 2023 went to the head shaking horizontally (🙂↔️). For more, here are the latest approved emoji, how to react to messages with emoji on your iPhone and how to use emoji instead of comments in Google Docs.
