I spotted a horror movie called Pyramid once which sadly was NOT nust a slasher film where the killer was an ominous pyramid

1086) Sinisterbot. Just showed up this morning, looming over everything. We don't know why. It won't answer any questions. Bit worried tbh. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween
A huge, pyramidal robot looming over a dark, curved horizon. The front of the robot is in shadow, and it has a stern expression on its face.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

And to be clear: no shame on any trans folk needing mutual aid. If you need it, take it.

"Trans folk are bougie" pisses me off

If it were even remotely true I wouldn't know more than one trans person who lived on the streets, let alone several more who basically get by on mutual aid. Seriously fuck this whole argument.

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

902) Gorgonbot. Mythic robot with Snakebots for hair. Its gaze isn't quite powerful enough to petrify its targets, but it can cause dry skin and, if Gorgonbot stares hard enough, a nasty bout of eczema. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween
An angry, spherical robot with banded legs that is leaning slightly forward and sticking out its tongue. Its head is crowned with fourteen equally angry robotic snakes on long, banded necks, all arching upwards and facing in the same direction as Gorgonbot, with their own forked tongues sticking out too.

I've actually seen Kid Rock and Ted Nugent live before, back in the 90s. At the time I was uncritical and liked them but having seen better artists perform? Yeah they got nothing I care to see.

So that's what, 8 guys who have about 2 good songs between them both of which belong to Ted Nugent from 50 years ago?

So deeply not kidding when I say that the current paradigm of "Gen AI" is doing deep, lasting harm to our ability to make knowledge, meaning, & truth w/ each other.

Like… it's really fucking us up & if we don't stop it soon we're gonna see a kind of negative chaos frankly unimaginable to most ppl 👍🏾

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

557) Trollbot. Not the kind you find on social media (except this one time now). Instead, guards your valuable bridges from trespassing Goatbots. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween
An arched, drystone bridge spanning a river, with a large round robot peering out from beneath the near end, one hand gripping the bridge's underside, the other raised into a fist (possibly being shaken). It's grimacing and showing off pointed teeth and has two little horns, banded like its arms, looking up at a Goatbot, which is returning the star from behind the wall of the bridge, frowning.
