I love you, Apple, but I should be able to choose which podcasts auto-download or not. I really don’t need you quietly turning them off if I haven’t been listening to your liking. It’s ok, I’m an adult and capable of quitting a podcast whenever I want.

Who Gets to Be a “Real” Chef Now? Contestants on tv shows like Idol and The X Factor aren’t real musicians. They’re not real songwriters.

On creativity and craft and who gets to call themselves a boss.

You almost feel second-hand embarrassment listening as Maitlis makes Clegg look like a child trying to bluff his way out of his role in shaping the very mess he’s now paid handsomely to rewrite in his memoir.

There’s nuance. Once again, @betootaadvocate.bsky.social is more accurate than traditional media.

Just deleted Threads. That place is terrible. Even worse than pre-Elon Twitter.

Yep. I would pay for access. Instead I pay for my VPN to maintain my access.

Everyone’s outraged that Jimmy Fallon is hosting Greg Gutfeld. Wrong headline. The real scandal is that Fallon’s been hosting anything for this long. The man has built an empire out of nervous giggles, fake laughs, and the comedic range of a phone book.

Tesla to Elon: “Here’s $29B. Thanks for letting us pretend we had a say.”

🙇‍♀️

Clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Qantas should gift affected members points and status credits.

The graphics for Omnivore are amazing.

And now, they’re Emmy-winning.

Congratulations and thank you to he entire Elastic.tv team, for bringing the series to life. And of course to the “award winning” Omnivore family, including FIFTH SEASON, Apple, and everyone at Noma.

We’ve officially entered the Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man phase of late capitalism.

Companies using AI to replace workers are now furious that workers are using AI to get remaining jobs.

Turns out if you dehumanise hiring, humans stop bothering to act human.

Welcome to the automated workplace hellscape you ordered.

After seeing my rant about Budweiser's Iconic Sounds campaign, Paul McIntyre thought, “sure let’s give this guy more space to go off.”

You know reality television has gone too far when even Mark Burnett is like “uh uh, I’m not touching that one”.

Patrick - Nude Screening - Ritz Cinemas Strip bare (or to undies) for this special event nude screening of Patrick!

Nude cinema, @mattbelloni.bsky.social

No, it isn't a joke.

This is a semi-regular activation at a major independent theatre in Sydney.

Maybe this is what Regal or AMC need to do to bring people back to the movies.

So, when is the CarPlay update coming?

Better cut back on flat whites and avocado toast. That’s what conservative politicians tell young people in this part of the world.

Australia’s version of The Onion

Elon Musk pulled out of the Jon Stewart interview? Weird. The man has 14 kids—pulling out has never been his thing.

Worth the thirty years between drinks. #greenday

I don’t think this will go the way he wants…assuming he has the courage to even show up.

If Elon’s mother is anything to go by, they’ll be cheering them on.

They won’t. Sadly

No doubt others have riffed on this one too.

“Hey, DeepSeek. You can’t take our property. Who do you think we are, Greenland?”

Cool the jets, David.
The hypocrisy is a bit rich.

Try it on Grok before Elon changes the algorithm.

Accidents will happen.

Commentary as only a cartoonist can deliver. 👏
