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.

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!

When I was a kid my dad showed me Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and I still regularly think of this final line of the first episode. The delivery, the orchestra swell, it's perfect.

When I was a kid I spontaneously made myself a sandwich like this. Sharp cheese and raw onion on a bun. My mom was not impressed.

With Peirce, it’s more accurate to say that he both published and perished
![In 1887, Peirce spent part of his inheritance from his parents to buy 2,000 acres (8 km?) of rural land near Milford, Pennsylvania, which never yielded an economic return. 49 There he had an 1854 farmhouse remodeled to his design. 50] The Peirces named the property "Arisbe". There they lived with few interruptions for the rest of their lives, 51 Charles writing prolifically, with much of his work remaining unpublished to this day (see Works). Living beyond their means soon led to grave financial and legal difficulties. 52] Charles spent much of his last two decades unable to afford heat in winter and subsisting on old bread donated by the local baker. Unable to afford new stationery, he wrote on the verso side of old manuscripts. An outstanding warrant for assault and unpaid debts led to his being a fugitive in New York City for a while. 531 Several people, including his brother James Mills Peirce 54] and his neighbors, relatives of Gifford Pinchot, settled his debts and paid his property taxes and mortgage. 155]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3jqueaplbnfu2ten7snl767p/bafkreihjfghxlosf4usxniruxqvwsu5g6zx3rtmrwqktad4l3i7u3wk5vu@jpeg)
