Every time "Otisburg" comes up in a conversation, I should reply to this message.

If we’re gonna build concentration camps, they should be for the edgelords who’ve built their entire personalities around 60+ FPS framerates.

I'd simply never watch another new movie or tv show if this happened.

Apply all this to the "why can't comic books be $1" arguments.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵
Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." 

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

It's just unreal how shitty Amazon has become. I don't order a *lot* of stuff from there, probably compared to some people, but we do order a decent amount amount of random stuff we can't get locally. Easily 50% of what I've ordered this year was broken, defective, or not the right product.

To celebrate (or commiserate) today’s last showing of the 1:1 life-size RX-78F00/E Gundam at the Osaka Expo 2025, here’s a tidy collection of Gundam Next Future Pavilion videos. Grab a drink, and enjoy a snapshot of this notable moment in Gundam history. ☕️

Time for the current hit theatrical movie in cinemas, of course I'm talking about Satoshi Kon's 1997 classic Perfect Blue.

It just doesn't make sense, 2005 was just a few years ago!

Tell me you've never read Watchmen or One Piece without saying you've never read Watchmen or One Piece.

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.
