Not enough people using their algorithm on the home page, I guess!

this just rolled out for me, uugggghhh. Thankfully it looks like underneath the most relevant section it has the videos in order?

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

Screenshot of an AO3 message from 1555 days ago

What do I win? 😭😭

A young king vulture standing on a white table, his head cocked upside down, looking at the viewer.

Are vultures cute?
Yes, and yes. Yes they are.
Yolo is showing off his newly colored beak, shifting towards orange. His full transition to bright king vulture adult colors will take about five years! 🪶

The iconic turn ✨

Gonna save everyone some time. The state of the union is bad.

A crow whistles to itself on a bright winter day. It's scratching at the snow with its foot. It sees something blue and plastic sticking out of the snow and says "Hello what's this". It reaches to pick it up with its beak and yanks it out with a "shing!"

The thing is revealed to be a blue bic pen. The crow holds it triumphantly above its head. There is a magic light emanating from the pen which is creating a blue crosshatching effect on the sky.

The crow holds the glorious pen and the words "I AM ARTIST" frame the image.

Fingers crossed the Itchiness doesn't attack you too badly!

Been with Mr. Katarra for 18 years and the answer is also NEVER. It's so, so weird to track your partner like that.

Treating the name of a fictional character as the name of the class of beings to which that character belongs (e.g., "he's a Dracula"), but keeping the "the" when the name of the character in question starts with it regardless of grammatical appropriateness (e.g., "it's a The Thing").

I finally tell him today, because the guilt is eating me up. And he 1) Didn't really care. Just kind of shrugged it off and 2) Found it in his stuff a few minutes later.

He took it without telling me, the booger!!

Now he keeps looking at me incredulously, saying he can't believe I was so upset

I've been losing my mind for about a week because my husband gave me his jury summons for safe keeping and I LOST IT. I'd been tearing up my area trying to find where it could have possibly gone, looking under furniture, throwing shit away. Losing sleep, thinking I've really screwed this up.

I read Bury Your Gays a few weeks ago and adored it, so I'm really looking forward to this! Maybe I'll get to read it this summer lol

A screenshot of a library hold of Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle. It states I'm 38th in line (started 40th) and that there are 48 people waiting on a single copy of this book. The wait is several months long.

This is gonna be a long but ultimately worth it wait

This is still the funniest take I’ve ever been main-character-of-the-day dogpiled over because it’s extremely reasonable in polite society to NOT screen whether or not people can interact with you based on demanding to know their pornhub history

If there's one thing Janeway loves more than anything, it's coffee.

But if there's two things, it's coffee and killing Tuvix.

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

I am very annoyed that people think 'rich' means 'that guy has a mercedes and takes a vacation to italy once a year' and not 'that guy has more money than 40% of the world combined and can decide to start or stop wars based on his personal prejudices'

the sums involved are incomprehensible

The Bone Lord watches over as his army of hypnotized bones construct themselves into a giant bone castle. At the top of the highest bone tower, two bone soldiers fly a fabric flag with a drawing of a bone on it. The bonelord says a speech balloon with a red X in it, indicating they have gotten it wrong. The bone soldiers replace the flag with a bone flagpole and a bone rectangle constructed out of bones. The bonelord approves of this.

The Bone Lord has an aesthetic

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.
