I think my favourite line in Katamari Damacy is when a cousin attempts an explanation of why they're on earth, and the King replies "We have no idea what you're talking about." Excellent.

Similarly, I've had Google Search AI summaries prioritize Grokipedia over Wikipedia for citations a few times and that just seems insane as a product decision.

Almost sounds trite, but... if you like something, or want it to exist, it does help if you pay for it. It's so easy to assume someone else will, or there's money from elsewhere, but... if you can, it makes a difference. So, scripted audio comedy? I like that, I'll buy some.

Will Amol Rajan leaving the Today programme stop me from joking he's applying for every BBC job going each time one comes up? Absolutely not, I'd need to come up with a new joke and I only have about three.

"A new video podcast… exclusively available on Netflix" as Netflix describes it is especially not a podcast.
I know language is in a constant state of evolution and flux, but a video podcast is a TV show
'The Pete Davidson Show,' a weekly video podcast, premieres later this month on Netflix—get details.

An absolute blistering editorial from The Verge. Incredibly bluntly put over the abject failure of Google and Apple.
I sat in a fucking court room and heard Apple imply that a naked cartoon banana was somehow inappropriate but somehow Grok non consensually undressing women and children is ok?? www.theverge.com/policy/85990...
Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards
