My new YouTube Music account glitched and thinks I have only ever listened to "Ass Like That" by Eminem.

Finally got my skulls set up in the new apartment 😍
On top of a bookshelf, five skulls arrayed left to right from smallest braincase to largest. They are, if you care to know, a Paranthropus, a Homo habilis, a Homo erectus, a Neanderthal and a modern human. On the next shelf down is another Neanderthal skull, this one Shanidar 1. There are also varius knicknacks, including a Nataraja statue, a kids' My First Mosque toy, a color coded plastic human skull, and a painting of an adventurer battling a snakelike monster.

The real wolf is the friends you make along the way.
Three middle aged white women in a Great Wolf Lodge, wearing wolf ears. I'm the middle one with pink hair.

I was fascinated that, when I search my Google photos for "bridge," it has a STRONG preference for the Brooklyn Bridge. (I've only been there once, these pics were all taken moments apart.)
Google Photos search for "bridge" and the results, sorted by "best match." Eight results are shown. Three of the Brooklyn Bridge, one of a rickety footbridge made of sticks, two more of the Brooklyn Bridge, a small metal aqueduct, and the medieval bridge in Cordoba.

If you see this, quote with a bridge from your gallery.

Grove of the Patriarchs, Mount Rainier (ft. my bestie)
A narrow wooden footbridge over a stream, with a sort of grid of ropes as guard rails. Theres lots of fresh yellow-green foliage overhead, making it rather picturesque. A man in pajamas and a backpack is crossing the bridge ahead of the photographer.

Surely the first rule of plant science club is knowing whether something is a plant or not. 😂 @osubpp.bsky.social come for your people.

I'll see your balcony camel and raise you one camel on a road trip.
A camel in back of a beat up old Datsun pickup that has been modified to have a four sided cage around it. The license plate is Qatari and there are buildings with Arabic text in the background.

Goodbye TikTok: a story in 3 parts
Screenshot of Tiktoks shutdown text last night. Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned! TikTok Screenshot. Welcome back! Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.! You can continue to create, share, and discover all the things you love on TikTok. Screenshot of the "Why are you leaving" page you get when deleting TikTok. I have written, "Fuck you forever for this pro Trump publicity stunt."

Thanks for the inspo
Screenshot of the "why are you leaving TikTok" page you get when you delete your account. Instead of the existing reasons, e.g., Safety and privacy concerns, I have filled in my own reason at the bottom: "Fuck you forever for this pro Trump publicity stunt."

(This skeet brought to you by me reading up on the Moravany Venus, which is better representation of my specific body type than anything made in the last 23,000 years.)
sepia and white photo of a ivory carved figurine. Head, arms and feet are either missing or just not represented. She has enormous, pendulous breasts, and a large round tummy slightly overhanging a notable fupa. In my opinion it is one of the most realistically rendered of the Neolithic venuses, in terms of where fat does and doesn't get deposited on a fat female body.

Man, reading about Upper Pavlovian culture always makes me hungry. 🤤
screengrab of text that says: Gravettien culture (30-20 000 BP) in central Europe is divided into three phases: Older Pavlovian (30-27 000 B.P.) Younger (developed) Pavlovian (27-23 000 BP) Willendorf-Kostenkian (23-20 000 BP) - the venus from Moravany belongs here (22 800 B.P.)

Um can we talk about this absolute muppet in the background though?
Museum display of a tiny bird figurine, maybe clay?, but behind it is a perfectly round jug with a disproportionately large stylized face that to me looks very much like Waldorf from the Muppets.

Etsy, I'm not convinced that this "similar item" comparison is as helpful as you seem to think. 🤔
An Etsy screenshot where it says it's helping me compare similar items side to side to help me choose. The items are "this item," a fake phone called the Zerophone, and a pornographic 1/6 size figurine of a voluptuous lady wearing only heels and a red ribbon, with surprisingly pert nipples.

Today in my zoo training, I learned that these are the markings of a MALE snowy owl. This means that Hedwig is canonically trans. Pass it on.
A very young movie Harry Potter holding a snowy owl on his arm. There are very few black markings on the otherwise white owl, which means it's male.

I was perusing AirBNB and
Meme: What if we kissed... at the Luxury Titan II Nuclear Missile Complex. There is an Airbnb logo above "Luxury Titan II Nuclear Missile Complex," and then a photo from the AirBNB listing that shoes a sort of sci fi airlock into a room with a cute metal spiral staircase.
