1878) Constitutionbot. Classic heavy cruiser starshipbot design, boldly splitting infinitives where no 'bot has before, ferrying decks and decks of Redshirtbots to their dooms.

A full colour image of what is, basically, the starship Enterprise from Star Trek: The Original Series. It's pale grey, consisting of a saucer-shaped primary hull, connected by an angled stem to a cylindrical drive section, from which protrude two tubular engines, held parallel to the saucer by angled struts. The engines have glowing, reddish tips and the drive section has a concave, metallic, bronze dish at its front with a small antenna in the centre. Atop the saucer section is a domed module that would ordinarily hold the bridge, but which in this instance has a smiling face on it. In the background is an expanse of dark blue space, speckled with stars, with a hazy, fuchsia nebula on the right side of the frame, spinning out gaseous streamers, all twinkling with stars.

1238) Redshirtbot. Ablative backgroundbot to demonstrate the stakes without having to risk the well-being of any of the mainbots in the scene.

An ovoid robot wearing a Star Trek uniform jersey in the classic red of the operations division, wielding a hand phaser as it creeps past a rocky outcropping, frowning into the distance. Behind it, an angled, spiky rock formation that doesn't in any way resemble Vasquez Rocks in California looms in front of a pink, alien sky with a ringed planet high above. Approaching from behind the unknowing robot is a Gorn from the Star Trek episode "Arena" - a bipedal, heavyset reptilian creature with compound eyes and an incongruous metallic brown halterneck top on.

And for TNG fans... This is also a great list. I wouldn't argue against any of the choices except one, but that's because the episode features so late that it has no repercussions.

Dolly Parton's take on AI in 2023: “I hope nobody can ever replicate me or what I do. AI is a scary thing. I’m sure it’s a good thing for scientists or medical things. But when it comes to trying to duplicate a human being and every little thing they are, it don’t seem right to me. It’s too much.”

How do you defeat a president who’s trying to sabotage the midterms? 1. Use drop boxes. 2. Vote EARLY in person. 3. If mailing in your ballot, put it in the mail AT LEAST two weeks before Election Day. 4. Vote in person on Election Day. 5. Share these instructions with everyone you know.

739) Transformerbot. A robot that, through cunning use of hinges and joints, transforms seamlessly into a toy truck.

Four numbered pictures showing the steps of a transformation sequence. In the first, an ovoid robot with banded arms and legs stands with its hands raised up to either side of its face. In the next it's on its knees, in the next it's tipped over onto its face and then, finally, an Optimus Prime-style truck and trailer just takes the robot's place.

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

Through the Imagination Library, Dolly Parton donated over 100M books. She didn’t have kids, but she provided books to kids and that says so much about who she was. Barely touches on how admirably she used her platform. Tremendous talent and an even better person. Fondly remembering her tonight.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.
