Curtis Cook Comedy on tiktok, "Bleeding Kansas" about his trip to Kansas.

John Brown's spirit certainly got into him because that was a BOLD thing to do in Kansas 🤣 I'm glad he's alive to tell the tale!

I'm casting a spell at you that makes you get five hundred billion thousand dollars. this is not a "reblog and you will get five hundred billion thousand dollars" post. I am just telling you that I have cast the spell, it's happening

If you’re LGBT reblog and tag with your opinion on beer.

you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

I love it especially when it cuts to them like this:

so, i live on the fourth floor of an apartment building that faces a fairly busy street; it’s on a hill so car noises are pretty regular over the course of the day. because i’m high above the street, you obviously can’t see the cars unless you look out the window, right? but sometimes the sun reflects off the car roofs or whatever, and so there’ll be a light on my ceiling as a car passes by.

so my cat? whenever he hears a loud engine, day or night, he looks at my ceiling. even if there is no refraction going on. to him, those are the sounds of light on the ceiling. sometimes the light appears and there is a loud noise. it’s 8pm and a truck just passed and he watched the ceiling as the car moved past my windows – no reflection this time of night, but trucks are ceiling creatures and i just think that’s such a like – it’s a good correlation, buddy!! you figured it out!! you’re wrong but you’re so smart!!

all-pacas

this is NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING FROM THIS POST but anyway here’s my cat stalking trucks (on the ceiling)

all-pacas

25 hours later and rip my phone battery and i’m thinking i should’ve named my cat plato….or y’know……….at all

all-pacas

response to some common tags on this post:

yes he is a handsome and fluffy boy

yes he sits super weird all the time he’s a proper young gentleman

yes that chair has been through it; no one else touches it anymore it’s been surrendered to his control

no i did not ever name him he’s a shadowy figure of mystery (we call him fluffbutt)

no i had not really heard of plato’s cave before but boy do i know it now

Using Archive of Our Own (AO3) as their primary source, researchers analyzed metadata from over 670,000 fanworks across 23 fandoms. They measured a story’s novelty by comparing its content against other stories in the same fandom and measured success primarily with a ratio of hits to kudos, then compared the two datasets. Researchers found that contrary to balance theory, the middle ground between familiar and novel does not guarantee success for fanfiction. Their research shows that stories that were more familiar tended to get more clicks, but it was stories with more novelty that had a higher hit to kudos ratio.

“Although high-novelty works tend to be read by fewer people, those who read are more likely to express their enjoyment.”

Deeply interesting tidbit from OTW signal today!

I'll say I've seen the same dichotomy reflected in a smaller scale in my own work on the archive. The familiar or popular gets more hits, but unique and unusual works have a higher response from readers.

2024 is a terrible year to be a henchman. The word "minion" is barely usable and you can't even say "goon" anymore.

yknow what would be a fucked up phone feature

ahno-nimus

No, I don't. Please, proceed.

fallow-grove

if whenever you plugged it in you had to manually enable charging mode and there was no built in way to automate it

ahno-nimus

That would be fucked up.

I keep having to tear down extremely predatory/misleading Scien.tology flyers in my school's art building. This is the third fucking time I've ripped the fuckers up and I'm getting Real Fucking Tired of it.

corvigae

If you see shit like this DO NOT call the number, do not do anything to interact with these fucking people. Take down the posters if you're able to. They do NOT want to help you. They are a literal fucking cult who openly despise psychology and any actual proven mental health science, and are actively trying to trick mentally/emotionally vulnerable people into joining.

The red flags here are "Hubbard," the name of their founder, and "dianetics," the crackpot theory they teach for "auditing" your sins from your past lives.
