I’m just going to assume you DIDN’T MEAN this one, but I’m leaving it here anyway.

Oh my fuck… I have to screenshot this absolute gem of someone’s bot absolutely missing the point in case it gets deleted… this is just too good (and horrible) to believe.

@fernandoarenas.bsky.social responding to my joke about an AI startup called AuschwitzAI making software to kick people off their benefits with, “For that there’s Python: with 30 lines you can automate this task. If you want I can send you the script I use. DM me if interested.”

This reaction image is getting a fucking workout lately.

Regards to Milo Yiannopoulos, hope you’re enjoying your repayment for betraying yourself and others to the American fascist project.

Part of a screenshot from Disco Elysium of the player talking to The Deserter if the player took the fascist route for the character.

YOU - “By the way, I’m a fascist.”
THE DESERTER - “You’re not. You’re part of the meat shield surrounding the *real* fascists, while they rape children. That’s what *you* are.”

Get you a woman who can do both! If you can't handle her at her "Building sized, six armed, snake god of retribution" you don't deserve her at her "devastatingly cool goth baddie".

Dara-san from Reiwa no Dara-san in her Yamatagi-Madara form, a massive serpent with a woman's upper body where the head would be, with six arms, a mouth slit all the way back to the ears with sharp teeth and long black hair.

I think I’ve got some kinda gerblin over here.

Ugh, make a post about how I’m proud that I’m doing dev work without an LLM in spite of my current brain state… reply from a FUCKING BOT ACCOUNT!!! Can my joy not even be free of these fucking soul vampires?!

Jeffrey Combs and David Gale back on screen again after Re-Animator! And I loved they named Jeffrey Combs’ character Dr. East.

Jeffrey Combs as Dr. East, Chronos scientist.

David Gale as Fulton Balcus, chewing the scenery and menacing Misky Segawa, played by Vivian Wu.

In memory of Screaming Mad George, we begin this day with “The Guyver”. A movie that opened up me and my middle school best friend to a world of awesome body horror sci-fi.

Just tried this out like I said I would. God damn that’s a good Reuben!! Used the method of mayo instead of butter on the bread and Ooooo that crisp on the bread.

Two Reubens toasting in a griddle pan with a bottle of the sauce in the OPs recipe sitting next to them.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think we post about Veffidas Feaze nearly enough. Muscle mommy alien drummer in a band that can rock so hard you can feel it through the vacuum of space.

Veffidas Feaze, a green haired humanoid alien woman in a purple space suit with an orange helmet, drumming away in a space fighter cockpit as sparkles of spirit energy float around her. A subtitle says [drumming intensifies]

Point number one, I have just started #Endwalker this weekend in #FFXIV. Point number two, I was left unsupervised and this happened.

Rosa from "Brooklyn Nine Nine" edited to be holding Erenville, a dark skinned man with long rabbit ears. In the two panels she's saying "I've only had Erenville for a day and a half." "But if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."

They also came with some advice for times like these.

Okay, that's finally 5.4 unlocked and Eden finished! I'm loving it, and at this rate I'll make it into Endwalker by the end of the next expansion's patch quests! (I joke, I fell off for over a year because of depression, really happy to be back).

A massive rainbow crystal stands in the middle of a magically sprouting grassland as massive trees loom in the background. Leaves and sparkles flow through the air. Because apparently the power of lesbians can renew the wasteland, and I'm here for that.

ESCAFLOWNE! I was trying to remember that one! OH! Patlabor! It's kinda ensemble but I'm still convinced Noa's MC because she's the image character in the original opening and she's regularly the focus.
