Started trying out Apple News recently, since it's part of my overall subscription.
They are oddly dogged about trying to serve me sports news.
I've thumbsed-down multiple stories and blocked The Athletic, but they still serve up stuff like this grayed-out box.

Unsettled by seeing the word “reusable” in such close proximity to a cute little cartoon roll of toilet paper.

So if I click on an album in Apple Music on iOS it shows me the whole album. As I expect.
UNLESS I favorited any songs, in which case it just shows those.
To see the whole album at that point, I have to click a link that says "Show Complete Album."
WTF is up with that.

Weirdly, I appreciate that YouTube has gotten consistent and shows me this message every time I visit the website. Lets me "Reload without content blockers" and move on, or just bounce if it turns out I don't care enough.

Even in 1985 as a 15-year-old I was amused that Marvel unironically used the "mighty hunter" sense of the word for an X-Man villain. Bugs Bunny had already irrevocably made that use impossible.
