TVs, hands down, is the go to imo. We've gone a bit backwards with some recent features no one wants, but the core improvements of any modern TV are almost uniquely self-evident

Like, gen ai sucks, and the "everyone needs the katest iphone" shit is toxic capitalism through and through l, but let's not pretend there hasnt been actual bettering of technology in everything from batteries to printing.

Had some lightly smoked salmon (not safe to eat raw lightly) flaked up into some rice topped with kewpie, sriracha, nori tsukudami, and toasted sesame. Absolutely perfect. The lightly smoked made it way closer to Japanese salted salmon than real smoked salmon, and was infinitely easier.

The only actually interesting part of this whitewashing bullshit article is that it mentions she wasn't even a liberal/leftist, and was literally registered as a republican.

I was trying to put my finger on what bothered me about this portrayal and I think it’s that it just takes the guy’s words at face value, like he was a nice guy and reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death just pushed him over the edge www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...

She Despised Charlie Kirk. He Resolved to Make People Like Her Pay.

Every now and then i order amazon fresh because kroger has inedible almost everything now, and it's incredibly frustrating to watch the map because I live literally next door to their starting point but they apparently go in a clockwise route where I'm always the final delivery on the way back lol

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.
