#MyOnlyMotivationInLife is the promise of a bright, shiny, clean tomorrow. But then comes the morning;  Yesterday's sorrows behind.  Wake! It's the day of your longing!  Life returns, Mercy comes, It's morning. -- Jack Miffleton

@AwfulButGreat Excellent for when you don't want anyone to sit next to you. Ever.

This looks lovely. No dragon heads, snail feet, or leering roosters. Just ignore the invisible chairs. @WeirdMedieval

@TheDavidVinc @TheCinesthetic I love that version! To this day I dream of waking up and someone has completely redone my bedroom and served me breakfast. 🛏

@TheCinesthetic I watched the Shirley Temple version growing up. I think it saw it on TCM

A LITTLE PRINCESS was released 31 years ago today. Though not a major box office success, the film later gained a strong reputation for its storytelling & visual beauty, with many considering it one of the most overlooked family films of the 90s.

@TheStourbridge @Rainmaker1973 Milan has some fabulous outfits! Do you have any George? 🦺 🩲

@Rainmaker1973 I hope you get paid in treatos

Mikan works as a stationmaster at the Ciaotou Sugar Factory Station on the Kaohsiung Metro in Taiwan. He was originally a local cat who lived near the station, but the staff and passengers cared for him and he became the "face of the station".

@In_Otter_News2 That's exactly the type of otter that wastes time sittin' on the dock of the bay.

Anyone know what type of otter this is?

@catshealdeprsn He has an ulterior motive: He takes them back to his yard to attract birds. 🪶🐦🪶

I guess this one likes sunflowers.

@TheStourbridge George, that shade of blue looks stunning on you! You're looking particularly orange this morning. Enjoy your week! 🍊

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday Your mood is often shaped by the little choices you make each day… so choose kindness, peace, laughter, and moments that make your soul feel lighter. Make today a good one

@historyinmemes Similar in that respect to Fawlty Towers, which only had 12 episodes, each one a gem.

Although Mr. Bean only had 15 episodes, when I was younger, it somehow felt like it had been on for at least 10 full seasons.

@SimKitty @historyinmemes This is my favorite. I keep wondering just how long it took him to mask everything in that room.

@historyinmemes This episode always cracks me up 🤣

@buitengebieden You think you can spy on me, puny human?!

He couldn't find his cat, so he checked the security camera footage, and here's what he found.. 😅

Women: I want to go for a run. Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped. Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage. Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped. Women: I want to live alone. Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too. Women: What about going to the park? Society: Dangerous. Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then. Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times. Women: I was raped. Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario. a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose. the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant. he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests. Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time. GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead. Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on. Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for. then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company." GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing. then he splits the users by income. Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%. 18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time. so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for. it isn't recommending the best option for you. it's reading the room. and the room is paying. read this: arxiv.org/abs/2604.08525

@simpleappofcl Don't people already fast while they're sleeping?

A small step toward feeling better

@Maddogk312 @Blairsun15 Whoops! Where'd she go?

Ready to Leave but Princess Catherine’s Last-Minute Move Surprises Royal Fans!

I laughed way too hard at this.. 😂

@gnuman1979 Well sure. Can't have people extending their cruise vacation for a silly little virus. Come into work, dammit!

Very understanding.

@WeirdMedieval I've always enjoyed the needle arts. I hear Bishop Odo of Bayeux is looking for skilled crafts-women to work on a "tapestry" for his new cathedral. Thought I might apply. 🪡

What job would you guys have if you lived in the middle ages?? I think I would be deputy manger of vertical integration for a small cathedral in the west of Flanders

@depressionlesss Doggo, "C'mon, man, you're ruining my whole image. I'm fierce, I tell ya. FIERCE!"

When the person who stresses you out the most is also the one you love the most 😂❤️
