A crude drawing of a basilisk with the caption "An illustration of the mythical basilisk"

There are many funny things about the Roko's Basilisk wikipedia page, but to me the funniest thing is this completely gratuitous drawing of a basilisk that looks like it was done by a teenager.

I feel like I'm just not made for short-form social media anymore. I want exclusively long-form essays and private correspondence.

Great album

I've been feeling the urge to draw more lately. Probably craving focus.

Safe (1995) is honestly one of the greatest movies ever made

Somewhat related: I love to ask philosophers which philosopher they think is the most different from the "standard/received" version of them that gets taught to undergrads. Personally I think it's Leibniz.

At my old institution we used to start classes on like January 14th, because we were civilized

Can’t wait to thumb through my index cards again like a loser

I logged on here and had 15 notifications because one person followed me and liked a lot of my posts. How do large accounts deal with this??

Watched this with family recently because we confused it with "Lost in Space." We waited the entire movie for the robot to say "Danger Will Robinson!"

In antiquity, in order to make a novel contribution you had to attribute it to Plato.

You mean being a tech bro?

Actors Natalie Wood and Tab Hunter — Wood dressed in a white short-sleeved blouse and trousers, Hunter in a white shirt and dark-coloured trousers — captured together, Wood facing the camera, mid-laughter as she sits on a chair and jokingly prepares to spank Hunter, who lies across her lap, smiling broadly, his hands resting on the floor, during a break from filming on the set of The Girl He Left Behind (1956)

I have a big urge to reread Plato's Phaedrus. I read it in high school. It was the first Platonic dialogue I really enjoyed. Though that makes me a bit biased, I think it contains in nuce all that is significant in Plato.

It's okay, the Dems can still run Jimmy Carter in 2028

I often dream of complex public transportation networks connected to apartment buildings.

I never thought of killing the driver before! Completely changes the game

Fuck Nassim Nicholas Taleb (born 1960)

I'm ready to become an American.

As a connoisseur of holes I have to say, these are top notch

I’m starting to think the problem isn’t me and it’s just that people on this site love to post about Charlie Brown

Have to be accountable. Yield to arguments. What I feel like is just fucking around. Publish this diary for example. Say stupid shit." Barf out the fucking-around-o-maniacal schizo flow. Barter whatever for whoever wants to read it (Anti-Oedipus Papers, p. 400)

Guattari anticipates shitposting

the writer can only imitate a gesture that is always anterior, never original. His only power is to mix writings, to counter the ones with the others, in such a way as never to rest on any one of them. Did he wish to express himself, he ought at least to know that the inner 'thing' he thinks to 'translate' is itself only a ready-formed dictionary, its words only explainable through other words, and so on indefinitely;

Thank you! This does seem very close to what I had in mind. I read this Barthes essay in undergrad a long time ago, so maybe that's what I'm remembering. But in any case, this is helpful!

Cocktail onions because we have to make do

I can't explain why but this sounds like an A. G. Cook song to me.
