Watching the latest (and possibly best) season of Trigger Point and wondering when Vicky McClure is going to get her own big-budget action franchise to anchor.

Thought the pair behind me were on the world's most poorly matched internet date until they said their goodbyes and the encounter was revealed to be a job interview. Lady, at the very least, you do not tell a prospective employer that you are on ecstasy.

My mum came to visit and expressed an interest in my local bakery. "Oh," I said, "the gay bakery?" Bemused, my mum asked me how a bakery can be gay, then we went there and she ordered a large black coffee and the guy behind the counter winked at her and said, "I'm a bit of a size queen, too."

I parked my car on the street and either I forgot to lock it or someone managed to open it without damaging it, because it had been thoroughly rummaged through when I went out to move it this afternoon. I really want to know what riches they thought I was hiding in my '04 Mazda.

The Paul brothers are wild to me because they got right up to the door marked "mainstream success and celebrity" and turned and bolted for the passage labelled "crypto grifts" instead.

Introduced my son to the Matrix. I told him it was made in 1999 and he couldn't stop marvelling over how "new" it all looked. In colour and everything!

There's a well-paid Hollywood executive whose sole job is to solemnly raise his hand and point a single gnarled finger at this film whenever anyone else suggests a Western/Mobster crossover.

My four year old daughter is watching a Minecraft video in which the heroes taunt God into manifesting in the corporeal realm so they can blow him up with dynamite. I think one of the voice actors is also a My Little Pony.

My favourite detail is that the alien is apparently a big Hunters & Collectors fan.

Googled a question that I already vaguely knew the answer to in order to clarify my understanding. The first page of results contained nothing but AI-generated articles that were clearly all referring to the same information, because they were all wrong in exactly the same way.

I'm a regular at Bob's Country Bunker. Sometimes some of the greatest session musicians ever come to play and I throw bottles at the chicken wire surrounding the stage to show both my approval and disapproval of the songs they choose.

Near-total automation of traffic enforcement hits diminishing returns pretty quickly, too. I'm surrounded by mobile phone and speed detection cameras and I don't think I've ever felt less safe on the road.

Hooked up all my guitar pedals. I bet I have a beetle-collecting homo erectus forebear who would have been extremely impressed.
Guitar pedals on the floor of a garage surrounded by cables running into an entirely too-loud amplifer.

Amazing how much marketing I get today which boils down to "so you've decided to completely check out and live like some kind of mudbound crustacean. Boy, do we have the lineup of products and services for you!"

If I were an X-Person my mutant ability would be noting the exact moment in any found footage movie where the script needs to acknowledge why somebody is still filming everything going down.

Pentecostal church in the area has put an obviously AI-generated banner up by the side of the road. I don't subscribe to their particular set of ideas, but that seems like a really good way to damn your soul to hell for all of eternity.

My hot take for today is that the difference in quality and feel between the last two seasons of Stranger Things is a perfect illustration of what the presence of generative AI does to creative processes.

Hello everyone! Many of you likely saw this image recently with the Apple TV+ 'Neuromancer' promotion. Some know, others don't, but this artwork is mine, created alongside actor & post-production artist Milton Menezes, as a personal project and a homage to the original Neuromancer romance

My daughter described her ideal father (long hair, tattoos, does not eat candy) and I thought it was funny, then I saw her waving to one of the other daycare dads who fit the description she gave and now I'm genuinely offended.

I've been a One Nation hater for 30 goddamn years and I've seen them do a lot of dumb shit but nothing that has betrayed their abysmal political instincts like Barnaby Joyce did when he yelled at his pet dog during a live interview.

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.

After watching it I do get why they were kept out of the trailer. The weird choices Nolan made in their execution were one of my favourite parts of the movie.

Saw the Odyssey. Big, scary movie that takes some big, scary swings and mostly hits them out of the park. Ingeniously framed, darkly humorous, with a few career-best performances. Could have been nastier, but I'll say that about any movie that isn't French.

I love those Tubi horror movies that are called something like "House of the Serpent" or "Book of the Damned" and have less houses or books in them than movies without those words in the title.

You know who is an expert on what is/isn't a hate symbol? Every tattoo artist I know. Even finding a place that will ink something like that on you takes effort, because the majority of places won't do it and the places that will don't advertise.

Every now and then I rediscover this Polaroid my housemate took of me with Melbourne band the Exotics in the band room at the Gov after they supported the Scientists in 2002, and every time I get absolutely punched in the face by how skinny I used to be.

Pretty wild he thought he could get away with calling it "The Dark Knight" but then again it does appear that he is a colossal idiot.

Probably serves me right for paying attention to Uwe Boll in 2026, but his movie with Armie Hammer sure does look alarmingly racist.

Every now and then I'll be watching a movie from 10-15 years ago and Holly Valance will appear to remind me her Hollywood career flopped so hard she had no other option but to move to the UK and befriend Nigel Farage.
