Down in the vale, hear the reaper swing. Strength does not make one fit for rule. It makes one capable of service. "All I want is to be remembered. Not for what I've done, but cause I tried to be better."

He's busy, he does a lot of prep, he's completely fine on television and less so on social when he decides he has an opinion. But I've had family that travels for work often at least 40 weeks out of the year. The coach flights, delays, shitty hotel rooms etc are far far more difficult

Feels a bit undermined by his travel segments being in a comfy lounge of a private plane and a fleet of assistants to help move him everywhere he needs to go

In general I just prefer isolate because it's less heavy but getting it to not taste like utter shit is the real trick

McGoo @mikemcgehee.bsky.social · 6h

Yeah typically I use Naked for regular whey (not the mass gainer thank fuck) and Biotest for isolate which weren't on there and now I am, uhh, both concerned and pissed

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow.bsky.social · 1d

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

get the impression that the answer to "if 'AI' can never flip burgers, sew a t-shirt, pick strawberries or wipe an old person's ass, does that mean that is the critical work that defines humanity and everyone who has that kind of job deserves to be compensated extremely well?" is "also, somehow: no"

Just completely obnoxious.

They do this every playoffs and it still seriously bugs me that MLB sets up the CS where one league has completed two games before the other has the first pitch of game 1

Is it good that all of our richest and most powerful people are also increasingly psychotic? This guy is trying to build a doomsday religion based of pop culture references he gets uhh, quite wrong

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 2d

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.
