So are right wingers just fine with this proposed national gun registry??? Cause it looks like Kirk got shot and now there's federal gun control... This could have been done years ago if that's what it took

ACTUALLY, I have a theory that most books enter a cultural "uncanny valley" 20-25 years after release, where the culture has shifted just enough they're not contemporary anymore, so new readers can't directly relate, and they stay in the valley for about 50 years until they're clearly historical

Is there, like, an interregnum during which a book should be gracefully retired, until such time as it becomes "a classic, an artifact of its times"?

"Instead of Columbus, we should celebrate all Italian women for being so hot." this is a genuine thought I had this morning. I'm sharing it as an act of contrition. please do not get mad at me. please do not become passionately enraged with your fiery tempers and strike me with a heavily-ringed hand

“Oh and, ah, one more thing: Y’see, I don’t know much when it comes to India. But my wife? She loves the place. Has all the books. And she’s always telling me it’s a good hike east of here…

So — and forgive me, Señor Colón — I have to ask: Where were you on the night of October 12th, 1492?”

If you haven't heard yet, stopice.org is a fake website made BY ice themselves and it would be a shame if they received thousands of submissions under Stephen Miller's name

Roger Vadim's Barbarella was released 57 years ago today.

"In the 41st century, an astronaut partakes in sexy misadventures while seeking to stop an evil scientist who threatens to unleash a powerful weapon upon the galaxy."

Such a 1968 movie.

What you see here in the children’s father, Bandit, is the culmination of sin. A father whose very name evokes crime, the criminal of criminals. Bluey, the color of sorrow. Bingo, lust for games of chance. Mother Chilli, who works part time at an airport in which planes “soar into the heavens”, thi-

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.

this is by far the worst reading of Alan Moore’s Watchmen I’ve ever seen and if you spend an appreciable amount of time online you will know what a crowning achievement that is

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Big congrats to Bryan, and well-deserved. A Question of Survival is a big point for the #Ilclan era of #Battletech, and its deserving of the praise.

Tonight, I was humbled and honored to accept the Utah Book Award’s top prize in the speculative fiction category for my book BattleTech: A Question of Survival.
