clyde bruckman's skeleton's final repost @ultralaser.bsky.social · 23/03/2026
deleting and reposting seperately with proper alt text (bc i didn't mean to quote dunk someone with under 200 followers, oops)
four panel calvin and hobbes comic strip edited multiple times with layered text styles.

opens with calvin at his record player, his dad walks in and says playing internet slang? i'll show you something interesting.

he kneels down to point at the record. the two types of slangs are nazi and aave. all slangs fall into these two categories. rizz? aave. chad? nazi. calvin says yeah...

his dad continues. serving cunt? aave. -maxxing? nazi. despite being actally funny, -slop is nazi.

last panel is calvin trying and failing to sleep with this new information.

tumblr post from user asteroidtroglodyte:

Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: it's just so beautiful

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn't realize, I can't, it's so much, I, I... are the chips good, at least?

Medieval peasant, trying to make me feel better: they're... magical, strange traveler

Three panel comic. Panel 1: emperor penguins stand beside each other. One of them has their little baby penguin chick tucked away under their brood patch. Panel 2: the second emperor penguin lifts their brood patch slightly, revealing a purple light and what appears to be some furniture. Panel 3: the brood patch is fully lifted, revealing another baby penguin sitting at a desktop PC gaming setup, complete with multicolor LED lights and gaming chair. The baby penguin slightly removes its headphones and says, “what’s up?”

Being unemployed is not always a bad thing.
Id like to end put in a good word for the non-industrious poor. At least they are not hurting anyone insofar as the time they take off from work is spend with friends and family enjoying and caring for those they love. They are probably improving the world more than we acknoledge.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

The Melian dialogs still relevant after all these years. And also, what Athens did at Melos directly contributed to their loss. History as tragedy, history as farce, bah — history is a bit taken too far.

Can this be a solution?
A map of the Strait of Hormuz but instead of trucks taking oil to ships over the desert and ships taking oil to the world - it's renewable energy. I mean sure the strait needs to re-open for all of the other important products and oil is still necessary. But the absurd dependence on it for so much of our lives when better alternatives exist is why shutting the strait works and the world's economy shouldn't have single points of failure that small and easy to impact

As someone who was tortured in ABA over autism this push is pretty obviously about cleaving off a subset of the population to do more of that too. Or otherwise throw away. So 1) I don’t support it & 2) they said I had severe autism in childhood and so I still assert that label now to make a point

How's this for a pitch for my new substack? unstriver.substack.com
Fearful Asymmetry
A collection of writings exploring a specific view into complexity. The essays here will touch on dynamic systems, math and cellular automata, software engineering and philosophy. I've got this... shape? In my head. It's too big to just name it, but enough of it has finally breached the surface that I think I can start to taxonomize it.
We're going to touch on everything from Taoism to Cybernetics; from Joyce to Kojima; from Cellular Automata to Quantum Mechanics. If I can stick the landing, I'd like to create a body of work that taken together gestures at something that's simply too large to describe directly - but I think I've finally got enough of the moving parts identified that between them I can at least start to sketch out the shape.
This is an experiment. I don't know if I'll succeed. At a minimum, though, I hope to at least provide enough thoughtful musing that a certain kind of mind won't regret the time spent reading it.
I'd love your company on the journey, to hear your thoughts as I try to lay this stuff out, and for us to collaborate on the Borgesian task of identifying the thing that so many of us can see but so few of us can describe.
