Not true! He also smiles beatifically after undertaking mortification of the flesh!
[Calvin and Hobbes are playing with trucks.] CALVIN: When you're a kid, you don't have much variety of experience. You live with your parents and that's all you know. you grow up thinking whatever they do is "normal". [Calvin's dad opens the door, glasses fogged, nose and cheeks red from cold, hat and sweater and gloves and covered in sleet, with a cold storm blowing in from outside behind him. He is grinning like a maniac.] CALVIN'S DAD: Ahh, what a day! Up at 6:00, a 10-mile run in the sleet, and *now* a big bowl of plain oatmeal! How i love the crazy hedonism of weekends! CALVIN: Well, maybe "normal" is too strong a word. HOBBES: I think we'd know normal if we saw it.

The "What a week, huh?" meme (Captain Haddock says "What a week, huh?" while looking tired, and Tintin replies "Captain, it's Wednesday.") but intentionally poorly edited to read "Jabs, it's Thursday" instead.

fiasco, I just want you to know that these two showed up back to back on my timeline and I think your human thinks you are a protagonist, I'm sorry
Two bsky posts: Dorian Dawes @doriandawes.bsky.social (18 minutes ago) Protecting your protagonists from suffering cause you like them does the opposite of earning my investment. It makes me like them less! I am not asking you to kill your darlings but a slight maiming is certainly in order.

Quark! quark quark quark quark quark quark
The last panel of a Calvin and Hobbes strip from March 23, 1993. Hobbes, hands on hips with a big smile: I like to say "quark"! Quark, quark quark, quark! Calvin, sitting behind a box, leaning on his hand: Instead of making an idiot of yourself, why don't you go find me som scientists?

It extremely is. Relax; whether you are concerned with your health or your productivity, your inherent self-worth or your value to others, rest and relaxation are not just ok but deeply important!

Weird little pizza! This was a reward from one of their other art-fundraisers, Project Pizza (I don't remember which year, maybe 2019?)
Two pottery sculptures by Leslie Levings. One is a little gray four-legged guy with a head that is basically the entire body, a stubby cone of a fail, axolotl-style ears, a big open mouth, and black stripes running from tip to tail. The other is a little slice of pizza. The little guy is facing the pizza as though hunting it. They are both sitting on a glass shelf in a bookcase, with a number of books behind them (prominently including a number of titles by R.A. MacAvoy among others, and a copy of Thistlefoot by GennaRose Nethercott).

something about this chain caused a whole bunch of accounts with "playing with LLMs" in their bios to follow me, and let me be very clear: no.

I was looking for the "happy guy and sad guy on bus" meme where they're both labeled something like "life has no meaning except what we give it" but this is honestly even better
Three panels from Secret Invasion Aftermath: Beta Ray Bill - The Green of Eden #1 First panel: Beta Ray Bill, a Thor-like character with a face reminiscent of a horse skull, looks up against a background of stars and planets and says: "I am alone. I look at the heavens and think them empty. And if not empty, I find the idea of worshiping whatever dwells there obscene." Second panel: Another character, a Skrull monk (humanoid, with bat ears), asks: "But why do you continue?" Beta Ray Bill, facing away, replies, "It doesn't change what is right." Third panel: Beta Ray Bill, looking directly into the camera, continues: "If there is nothing but what we make in this world, brothers... Let us make good."

Post the first video game you ever played

(witness as I crumble into dust)

(look, I helped solder together a Heathkit terminal when I was a literal toddler, I have always been like this)
A VT100 dumb terminal hooked up to a PDP-11/34, running Colossal Cave Adventure. The text on the monitor reads: YOU ARE STANDING AT THE END OF A ROAD BEFORE A SMALL BRICK BUILDING. AROUND YOU IS A FOREST. A SMALL STREAM FLOWS OUT OF THE BUILDING AND DOWN A GULLY. >ENTER BUILDING YOU ARE INSIDE A BUILDING, A WELL HOUSE FOR A LARGE SPRING. THERE ARE SOME KEYS ON THE GROUND HERE. THERE IS A SHINY BRASS LAMP NEARBY. THERE IS FOOD HERE. THERE IS A BOTTLE OF WATER HERE. >GET LAMP OK >INVENTORY YOU ARE CURRENTLY HOLDING THE FOLLOWING: BRASS LANTERN >QUIT DO YOU REALLY WANT TO QUIT NOW? >Y OK YOU SCORED 27 OUT OF A POSSIBLE 350, USING 4 TURNS. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A RANK AMATEUR. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. TO ACHIEVE THE NEXT HIGHER RATING, YOU NEED 9 MORE POINTS. .

Even this guy, who sure LOOKS haunted, assures me it's just that "the Horrors persist, but so do I".
In short: The front guy sure has a haunted look about it! Sculptures of three little egg-shaped critters, all roughly similar - a big open upwards-facing mouth, two little black beady eyes to the side of or slightly below the mouth. The one in the foreground is slightly larger and all black/charcoal, clearly in focus. The one on the right background is slightly smaller, a pleasant muted green-gray. The one on the left background is mujch smaller, and is more green. They all have few other features except for pointy ear/horns on two of them. (The third one has a tail and little bumps, but they are not visible in this photo.) They are sitting on a glass bookshelf. Behind them, out of focus but recognizable, are a number of Discworld novels and the Signet Classic edition of Les Miserables (Translated by Lee Fahnestock and Norman Macafee, based on the classic nineteenth-century Charles E. Wilbour translation).

Vince McMahon four-panel meme: Curious expression: bugge... Interested expression: fish? Overjoyed expression: CRAB!? Laser eyes of interest: FROGGGGGGGGGGG (The same as the post this is in reply to, but in meme format.)

If you see this, post a picture from whatever device you are using with no explanation.
A screenshot of a text document reading "This document is referenced in the SDLC." SDLC is underlined in red, and there is a context menu popup suggesting "LSD" as a spelling correction.

An edited meme tweet: Me, absolutely twisted, coming home with a load of uncited references. Me waking up the next day with a room full of uncited references. The tweet originally said "swords" rather than "uncited references", and features a picture of the 7 of Swords tarot card, a person jauntily walking with a lot of swords, the 9 of Swords tarot card, a person looking distressed in bed with a wall full of swords. The tweet was originally by Twitter user @meandmydog69 screen name "terrified dad", on September 13, 2016 at 6:10 AM, with 38.5K retweets and 65.K likes. (The original tweet has since been deleted.)

Evergreen wisdom from Garak.
Bashir, inquisitive: Do you think the rail workers should strike? Garak, smiling: All exploited workers should strike! Bashir, looking doubtful: Even if it will disrupt the economy? Garak, smiling more broadly: ESPECIALLY if it will disrupt the economy! (A four-panel DS9 meme taken from S2E22 "The Wire", where Garak tells Bashir that all of his stories are true, ESPECIALLY the lies)

#ShittyCameraChallenge A new terrible camera! A Mini Diana. The focus ring is so stiff as to be unusable, but thankfully more patient folks than me have tested it and determined it does almost nothing, so it doesn't matter much.

Photo taken with my apparently-workhorse DXG-301V camcorder.
A photo of a Mini Daria camera, a small toy camera with a black body, red-bordered film advance knob with a heart on the top, and a plastic strap. The photo is cloudy and a bit blurry; it was taken with a low-res camcorder as the camera.

Dear @shittychallenge.bsky.social and #ShittyCameraChallenge friends: Here is a shitty picture of a camera! Is this Kodak 35 Rangefinder shitty enough? It's certainly _finicky_ enough. (Photo taken with a DXG-301V Camcorder, from the ShittyCameraProject's Trevor Project fundraiser. *It* is shitty!)
A Kodak 35 Rangefinder camera (produced in 1947). The photo of the camera is hazy, over-flashed, and not entirely in focus.

Age yourself by posting your first computer. (Admittedly this was when I was VERY young but I did help solder it together. At...uh...probably an unwise age to do so.)
