Update; My Secret Santa, a movie about a single mother who disguises herself as Santa to get a job and falls in love with her boss, is a hot contender for this title.

Computers are all incels confirmed

Our rural area is being built up into mcmansions (😔) but some local goats have broken into the worksite, causing chaos. You can't stop progress, but you can slow it with goats.

“I was just following otters.”

As a queer person, I'm astonished at what Stranger Things has accomplished in season 5 so far. Hopefully this isn't a big spoiler, but on rewatching the show I realised about halfway that so much of it could be an allegory for conversion therapy, and I'm so impressed they've leant in so hard.

The parliamentary year is done, which means the blog is down until it returns on Feb 3. Thank you to everyone who has joined this little project - it has meant the world to have your support. Please - take care of you. It's only going to get more unhinged next year x

The latest corrective services data is out today, and it points a horrific picture of the systemic racism in our judicial system #PointLive live.thepoint.com.au

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. www.reddit.com/r/sydney/com...

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.

Good morning - coffee number two is on the stove and the blog is ALIVEEEEEE (although I would be considered mostly dead) live.thepoint.com.au/2025/11/the-...

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.

I hate hate hate the video podcast phenomenon. It's like putting pictures in a novel. LET ME USE MY IMAGINATION.

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.

Yes??????

I’m starting to think this Jeffrey Epstein guy was up to no good

At least Amy Schumer has become consistent in being the absolute worst.

This essay is about a Jeremy Peters article, naturally

Passive aggressively refusing to reply to comments on my insta saying I don't "look" like an Oasis fan. Sorry I wasn't born a balding white man wearing adidas sneakers and a bucket hat. Sorry I'm sorry.

First sneak-peek at the upcoming AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY!

Waiting in line, still listening to the oasis deep cuts.

Hoping to spot the real* fans at Oasis tonight. *the other autistic girlies whose special interest is Oasis, I will know because they will also be sobbing.

So excited for Oasis tonight, listening to some deep cuts

My feed is all Mamdani wins and Miss Rachel looking *stunning* on the red carpet. What a beautiful reprieve.

*Lights a candle*

I have once again been vindicated in my opinion that only people who live in big cities should be allowed to vote

Kidz bop version of pussy palace when?

Honestly, it was harder to explain what a dojo is to him

I thought I was being discrete with my listening habits, but my toddler just asked me what a pussy palace is. (It's a beautiful palace full of pussy cats.)

Can't remember what happened to David Harbour's character last season of Stranger Things, but even if he's already died, I hope the Demogorgon devours him in the most gruesome way... again?

I refuse to click through because taking a mental health patient to an escape room for a date is too funny and I don't want to ruin it

When did Halloween become the craft holiday, I am very bad at crafting, I was promised candy and now I'm supposed to create bat lanterns from scratch???

I would like to opt-out of the timeline where we invent the word "fibre-maxing", thanks.

Love this from @jessharwoodart.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Love to watch the girlies unite on the TL in our unanimous support of Lily Allen stomping on that man's soul.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

For whatever reason bluesky is suddenly serving me endless crotch shots of men amongst my normal content, no matter how much I block, they keep coming. A waking nightmare. Help. Me.

The unsung benefit of no plastic bags is I can cosplay a neglectful boomer parent while my kid runs around the house with a bag over his head.
