I am inspired by @DallasBarnett and his #findingyourtribe hash tag. Going to treat it like phases challenge, but instead with pictures as a way to introduce yourself to CoSoNauts new and old.

So here we go! Post up to 4 pictures/memes/gifs that show what you enjoy.

You get one life. Don't waste years needlessly fighting negative emotions alone because you are too stubborn to share with those who care about you.

Oh.

My.

God.

I love this song. Everything about it is literally perfect. It's got an incredibly catchy beat. It's short and to the point, it deals with complex and messy emotions, and Emelia's vocals really sell the self-loathing, fear, love, and happiness all wrapped up in a ball of emotions.

It's 2-1/2 minutes long. You might end up listening to it for 10.

It's crate digging night for you guys tonight on #CoSoMusic.

I'm starting out with like 5 - 6 rap songs, and then I'm gonna go for the real eclectic stuff. I'll do my best to keep this threaded but no guarantees.

Hang on, and if you hear something you really like lemme know and I can send more recommendations your way.

I post this every so often. It's telling that one of the most insightful pieces of the last 2 years was on a comedy site. The only way to avoid being suckered by a cult of personality is to realize that you, yes *you* can fall for it too.

"One day, very soon, your personal Donald Trump will come along. It'll be all of the same tricks, only perfectly tailored to your beliefs and pent-up rage."

The last two days of the NFL draft just remind me how fun Twitter *used* to be back in the day.

Go home Five Below. You're drunk.

GTFOH 😂

Three minutes in and there are already like 19 things I want to meme from this week's episode of #XMen97.

You know what all these other new bridges that were "built so much faster" didn't have to include in their construction time?

Demolition and salvaging efforts
Site surveys
Design, planning, and cost estimation
Modification of an already existing transportation system

But sure, go off and complain that 10 years is too long because it took 4-6 years from start to finish to build [insert bridge name here] because that's how long it took to physically build after ground breaking.

Only other thing I got to say about #Xmen97 is that the three episodes so far have shown that the the producers understand how X-Men has such a need to fully embrace the surreal.

The MCU was always down right tame in comparison to some of the absolute bonkers things that happened in even mundane X-Men storylines.

If this 10 episode run can stick the landing, we have something very special ladies and gents.

This has no spoilers, I promise. #Xmen97

This week's episode is wild. What would normally drag out over several episodes seems to be instead a speedrun of a storyline, but in a very good way.

I do bad for new fans. I'm not sure how much sense any of this makes to someone who doesn't have years of familiarity with X-Men. At least the show is trying to (mostly) stay in bounds with stuff covered in the original animated series.

"THE BRIDGE SHOULD HAVE OVER ENGINEERED AND BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND A SHIP OF THAT SIZE!"

Also

"Bridge cost how much???? NOT MY TAX DOLLARS!!!!!"

Only other thing I gotta say about X-Men 97 is that you have no idea how much this scene made me geek TF out.

Like pause and sit there with my jaw dropped cause they finally did my girl right.

Don't care what else happens in the rest of the series, having *THE* definitive Storm appreciation moment in episode one made my heart so happy.

Anytime you see discourse about how "wrong" Gambit's attire here is, know that it's completely in bad faith.

The show is X-Men 97 as in 1997.

And let me tell you, these half shirts were a dime a dozen with in shape dudes at the time. Every dude on our high school football team during this period wore them on game days to impress the girls.

Some people just need the culture war for clicks.

You ever take the first puff of a new strain and as soon as the taste hits your tongue you go, "Oh man this is gonna &#_ me up."?

That's where I am now, I think it's gonna be a good Sunday afternoon.

All of these Sora AI videos just proves that election season is going to be god awful beyond measure.

Our father daughter dance update is that we are three songs in, two have been Swift and the kid has zero idea what "pacing herself" means. Gonna be an interesting night 😂

You ever hear a snippet of a song and you instantly know, this song isn't meant for humans to hear?

Like it's some horrors similar to what happens when the Nazis opened the Ark of the Covenant in Indiana Jones waiting on you for when you hit play.

But you have to anyways, because the the allure of dying from laughing is too strong?

I know we understand how horrible TikTok is but I gotta make an exception here cause I am laughing so hard right now.

This lady has comedic timing on a whole other level.

Watch her talk through the meaning of Ying Yang Twin's early 2000s hit - Shake It Like a Salt Shaker.

It's *amazing*.

You ever hear something that makes you instantly think "What a beautifully chaotic Trainwreck dumpster fire master piece of a thing?".

I can't explain how happy I am to have heard this ... Thing... that somehow has this surreal feel of love and reverence (and ignorance, so much cause it's my boy PT) to it.
