All AI images are bad and stupid and fucked but this Australian Christmas poster at a Sydney train station is really something special. My favourite bits are the kangaroo with the face of a koala and the “oops! All Union Jack” version of the flag.

Seeing media people post praise for Bevan Shields’ run at SMH so I genuinely want to know was it the starting by outing a queer woman, directly telling journalists to lie about a union strike or the genocide denial that made it a ‘great run at a hard job’?

I can't believe it took me a full year to watch Hot Frosty, the greatest holiday movie ever made.

Albanese Government set to use social media ban as cover to water down gambling reforms yet again
If Albanese is serious about ‘progressive patriotism’ he could start by prioritising the livelihoods of Australians over the profits of gambling companies.

Does anyone else have a brunch kid? My toddler isn't interested in breakfast, it's taken me a long time to figure out that what he wants is a big feast at mid morning to power him through the day, like he's a little leisure king.

Back in the day you had to "audition" to have access to weird little online communities and forums and now the algorithm just serves you out of nowhere "here are 5 ways to eat under 700 calories a day" what the hell
My hot take is that fatphobia and eating disorder propaganda is worse now than the "Thinspiration" 2000s. The feed is outrageous, and there is no escape.

We need to bring shame back because why are people suddenly including reverse shots of their faces in POV vids. Nobody needs to see your face, sir. Especially at that angle.

Anyone else remember The Langoliers? Terrifying.
Tired of seeing arguments for or against AI that ignore its environmental impact as if it isn't chewing up Earth's resources like a freakin langolier.

The Walmart Angel Tree collab is a stroke of evil capitalist genius. Families in the US can't afford to shop this Christmas? No worries, we'll just get a million influencers to spend all that charity money specifically in Walmart to buy the worst possible quality toys and clothes.

They stole so much from Buffy. Why, god, why did they not steal BTVS's costume designer??? 😩
Finished my Stranger Things rewatch, and I'm surprised nobody is talking about the real villain in season 4, these hideous, deeply unflattering white mum jeans.

I'm working on my body neutrality. I put on an outfit and my first thought was "this makes me look big" but my second thought was "shut up you stupid bitch". I think it's going well.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

This essay is about a Jeremy Peters article, naturally
What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written.
