So I just decided screw it and posted the last 2 chapters to These Fated Threads: Volume 1 over on Honeyfeed. It's a queer romance isekai about combating colonialism, overcoming trauma, and creating a place for yourself in a world seemingly made for everyone else:

I think I'm mostly pissed that he thinks Luffy wears a RED straw hat....like....surely you've seen a picture of him.

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.

Lately I've strongly considered dipping my toe into stand-up, which I feel should be a testament to how far gone I already am lol.

A really fascinating thread about Demon Slayer and the portrayal of masculinity throughout the series. I legit may have to give it another read looking through this lens.

Sequential Scholars @sequentialscholars.bsky.social · 7d

Threaded throughout the violent chaos of Demon Slayer is an intriguing portrayal of modern manga masculinity, one that moves against the series’ historical backdrop whilst embracing the medium it operates in metatextually. #demonslayer 1/14

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

Damn, this is actually unfortunate to hear. Crunchyroll has taken a drastic dive in quality so it just sucks seeing them snag something I'm excited for.

So a brief glimpse into how stupid the company that provides my internet (Telus) is. We have 2 accounts at the place we're living (upstairs, and us downstairs), in early September we got a call confirming that the accounts were separate and have had no issue since then.

Sometimes I see photos like this and think 2 thoughts back to back.
1. This picture is gonna be in a history book some day.
2. People of the future are gonna be baffled by the stupidity of our period in history.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Screenshot of David Simon interview
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
