Yes, we are proud, he left his hidy-hole as President of BuzzFeed in 2019 and we have been getting regular zefrank1 video uploads ever since.

2:37 at least Salmon die doing what they love...getting eaten by bears post climax. I think the species needs an intervention and a talk to a therapist.

[@tonibauer2949]

Bear Chef I know! Not all get eat by bears, of course. I saw them getting snatched up by a grizzly at a waterfall in Alaska, where people can watch from a safe distance above. There were so many salmon the bear was just eating the fat bellies and leaving the rest. But, later in the hike, we saw an open, still area of water where these poor salmon, bright red from beating against rocks and struggling many, many miles to reach their spawning place, were lined up so thickly, just lying there twitching and dying after spawning. It almost looked like if you walked out into this shallow water, you would have to walk on them to cross over, there were so many. I found it kind of sad and touching.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

Well, it's not like our species invented it. We learned it from animals...and let's be honest, they're still better at it than us in general. When an animal species twerks, ALL of them can do it and bust a move, but there's a lot of us that can't dance for sh*t.
