If you have a great Apple Music playlist for holiday-themed parties but it includes a few tracks that aren’t appropriate for ears of all ages, you don’t have to worry about making your mixes family friendly anymore. Forget about painstaking recreating it yourself using “clean” versions of explicit songs yourself—there’s a Siri Shortcut for that.
This isn’t a functionality Apple has built into their streaming service, although they probably should. Instead, it comes from Reddit user AdTrue6877. Their Siri Shortcut scans all the songs in any Apple Music playlist and creates a new playlist that replaces all explicit songs with their clean versions. It’s the fastest way to create family friendly playlists on Apple Music.
To start, download the Make Clean Playlist shortcut and run it on your phone. The shortcut will automatically show you a pop-up that allows you to scroll and select any of your Apple Music playlists. From there, the shortcut will ask you to name the new playlist and will begin making a clean version. It takes a bit of time, so be patient.
That said, you don’t have to keep staring at the progress bar in the Shortcuts app—open Apple Music and you’ll see the new playlist. Songs will keep appearing on it one-by-one as the shortcut finishes its task. When it’s done, the shortcut will tell you if it couldn’t find clean versions of some songs. Any still-too-saucy songs will be automatically removed from the new playlist.
The shortcut isn’t perfect, so it’s worth checking its work afterward. For example, Green Day has a single track called “Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” which combines both of those songs. Clean versions of both songs are available individually, but not in combination. In this case, you’d have to add those tracks back individually yourself.
Using the shortcut, it took me a little under five minutes to convert a playlist containing 70 songs using an iPhone XS Max. It’s possible your results may vary if have a different device and a larger or smaller playlist.
Oh, and in case you want to go the other way and turn your clean radio-friendly playlist into an explicit one, try the shortcut Make Dirty Playlist. It’s by the same Reddit user and it operates via the same logic, with the opposite results.

As we’ve written about in the past, not only can ceiling fans keep your home cooler in the summer— with or without air conditioning —but they can also help your home stay warm and toasty in colder weather. 02:15 How to Steam an Egg Wednesday 11:19AM But when it comes to choosing a ceiling fan, it’s not solely a matter of finding one to match your decor: You should also consider the room’s square footage in order to ensure that the fan is able to get the job done.

I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

The idea is to make a list of shot-worthy occurrences—like “a coach yells at a referee” or “something goes wrong during the halftime show”—and then take a shot whenever they happen. If the promise of regular shots isn’t enough for you, we have another twist for you: The “1, 2, 3" rule. The first time something from your shot list happens, you take one shot. The second time it occurs, take two. The third, three...and then hopefully you don’t push your health and safety past that point. On the other hand, you can always choose to sip instead of taking a full shot. Again, none of these party games have to involve alcohol. But they definitely can if you want them to. Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E T /3:30 p.m. P T.
