This is something I’d expect to find in Snow Crash, or some other over-the-top cyberpunk story. Being able to gamble on your credit card debt is just… goddamn

James Bond is one, too. He always wins, always gets the ladies, always has the best cars and suits and whatnot. He’s so much of an example of an unrealistically perfect main character that we should call it “being a James Bond” instead. Only difference is he’s not a kid’s fanfic OC

What if they ride something that’s not horses? What if they’re horse archers but they’re famous for, say, having the equivalent of Roman imperial purple, or incredible textiles or something? What if they’ve figured out crossbows before everyone else? I’m a big fan of steppe horse archers tho

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

De flesta verkar liksom tro att de vet hur det funkar, utan att faktiskt ha någon koll på exakt hur jobbigt och jävligt det är. Typ som hur riksnormen varit skamligt låg och inte hängt med inflationen = man får pengar baserat på utdaterad data om vad saker brukar kosta så det inte räcker

I couldn’t finish the first Redwall book I tried as a kid (featuring Cluny the Scourge as a villain, dunno the title), as the treatment of the mice’s badger friend as both people and a beast of burden, without mentioning ever asking her if she wanted to pull their cart, was too offputting for me

as much as I love them one thing I always disliked about the Redwall books was the designation of certain species as constitutionally evil. I think rats and weasels should be friends with mice and shrews

Is he trying to brute force create the Spacefaring Guild without any access to the Spice that’s integral to the process, and also entirely fictional and impossible to get? This is like he’s trying to make his children immune to kryptonite, or something

The more pain I’m in, I typically just go blank faced and quiet, because even crying or screaming would take too much effort for no reward. I don’t think an AI would understand that, given many human hospital staff have missed this.

Ja, och hur typ all vår skog är kulturskog (skog som bearbetats av människor, dvs avverkats och planterats osv). Det vi storsvenskar kallar vildmark är ju Sápmi och det är också ”bearbetad” mark. Folk har gått runt och vandrat, levt och bott lite varstans i detta land, fint att minnas!

I’d make Trocadero a globally available type of soda, and if that doesn’t get rid of all my money, I’ll build a structurally sound and habitable Telvanni mushroom tower to live in, and if there’s any of it left I’ll just commission loads of art projects all the time.

Someway, somehow, it's #portfolioday once again!

So hello again, I'm Jay, aka TeleKitnetic Art! I'm a training formline artist from the Wet'suwet'en living in BC, and I like mixing the traditional style with non-traditional/modern subjects!

An illustration of formline wolves charging across a foggy lake with hills and mountains in the distance.

An illustration of a snowy clearing lined with snowy pine trees. In the sky above is the green and pink aurora borealis, and in the foreground are two anthropomorphic lynxes in formline style. They are both sitting, and one's paw is raised towards the northern lights.

A formline design of a monster head. The creature has protruding fangs and long, sharp incisors that stick out. They also have sharp horns sticking out from their forehead and pointy, ungulate-esque ears. They are coloured a deep teal and highlighted with light forest green and yellow.

A picture of a 4 x 6 inch sticker sheet. The sheet design has a worn paper texture to it, and has several ink and stain marks on it. The sticker designs consist of six mythical medieval monsters in formline design; a wyvern, a gargoyle, a unicorn, a sea horse, a basilisk, and a gryphon.

Illustration of a millefleurs-style tapestry of two barn owls circling a curled up rabbit. The animals are surrounded by various other plants and animals that juxtapose symbols of life and death, making it unclear if the rabbit lives or dies.

Risoprint-esque illustration of a giant white-bodied oarfish against a night sky, curled around a highway billboard. The billboard says “caution” in vibrating letters against a bright yellow background. Roadside lights and power lines are overlaid onto the oarfish’s body.

Illustration of a rat king (multiple rats tangled together by their tails). The rats are all clustered in the top half of the composition, with their tails forming a loop below. A dripping crown is overlaid on the loop, and the rats all have small crowns.

Illustration based on the The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where the phrase “albatross around your neck” is derived from. An albatross is tangled in rope, with the rope forming a noose around a skeleton’s neck and tied with a bowline knot. An arrow intersects the knot, and tears drip from the point of the arrow.

This literally sounds like things my fellow patients would talk about during my stays at psychiatric hospital. It’s just a meaningless slurry of buzzwords and “you see, it makes total sense, obviously this is connected” about things that are not connected and make no sense.

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 18d

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.
