“ExtraL” hits the ground running as an unapologetic anthem of female empowerment, blending Jennie’s slick K-pop charisma with Doechii’s gritty, commanding rap prowess. From the jump, the track oozes confidence with its infectious hook – “Do my, do my ladies run this?” – a chant that doubles as both a question and a flex. Produced by Dem Jointz, the beat is a bass-heavy rollercoaster, minimalist enough to let the vocals shine but punchy enough to keep your head nodding. It’s the kind of song that feels tailor-made for strutting through life like you own it.

Switzerland Roundabout is a Turntable
While Switzerland’s flag is famously square, its streets are surprisingly dotted with roundabouts, or ‘Kreisels’ as they are called in German. As common as station clocks, nearly every town boasts at least one. Unfortunately, public involvement in their design has sometimes led to… questionable results, like horizontal steel pipes or piles of rock. However, there are exceptions, as the town of Lyss near Bern beautifully demonstrates. Those who travel near the freeway entrance will encounter the KUFA Kreisel, a giant vinyl turntable that has, unsurprisingly, gone viral.
The Cut-Up Technique
Imagine a poem created by randomly rearranging lines from a newspaper article. This is the essence of the cut-up technique, a method that has challenged conventional writing for decades. Originating with the Dadaists in the 1920s, who sought to reject logic and reason in the wake of World War I, the technique embodies their embrace of chance and absurdity. William S. Burroughs, along with artist Brion Gysin, further developed the technique, believing it could reveal hidden connections and premonitions within language. They would cut up texts, rearrange the fragments, and then read the resulting new text, looking for unexpected meanings.
