Luckily my YouTube Wrapped for 2025 doesn't count any of the ... prurient content. If it did then these Top Interests, while accurate, would be definitely different.

Happy Thanksgiving! These are exactly the right kind of turkeys for my vegan friends on this day - still running around and not on a carving board. I hope you enjoy your meals, whether or not either kind of turkey is involved.

After dropping this season's "Banished Court Magician Aims to be The Strongest" I picked it up again on @mothersbasement.bsky.social rec. And he was right, the character writing is really good. But I giggle like a 12-year-old every time they say their group name. Somebody cast Cramps Curse!
