Borrowing from Shakey ...

... to highlight some great recent posts:

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player / That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.

As of November 1, 2024 ... the Metafilter Community Foundation exists as an officially registered Delaware nonprofit non-stock corporation.. Yay! In Metatalk, 1adam12 has a Quick Nonprofit Update from the Interim Board. (Also of site interest, some thoughts from warriorqueen on Seeking community in the face of the US election.)

"one of the strangest sites ..."

[this is old]

We're Old School, we're Vibrant, a Shining Beacon, we're a Time Capsule, a Digital Brigadoon. I guess you could say we are getting a little long in the tooth ... and claw.
