In short: Perfect for American audiences. Giant robot ultra-violence that doesn’t ask you to think too much and vapid enough for the wider Gundam franchise’s anti-war message to fly over most viewers’ heads.

Coming off Japan Society screening of Endless Waltz, the funniest thing about Gundam Wing is how bereft of ideology it can be. People are literally fighting about the idea of fighting.

Oh look, it's as if streaming platforms only allowing eight episodes a season is not the creator's fault but it's the corpo's fault

I’ll admit pacing is the hardest thing to pull off, especially with a set budgeted runtime. But even pacing can sometimes be subjective. I enjoy things that are fast and deliberate, it might be due to my ADHD so sometimes I’ll feel good about a pace but see people feel it’s fast. It’s interesting!

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.

So much of Biden's record has been memoryholed. The man's commitment to evil is truly mind boggling. He had a direct personal hand in nearly every atrocity committed by the federal government for half a century. And topped it off with helping direct a genocide, then handing power over to Trump

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 18h

I fear that in the debate over protesting Harris we will lose the fact that the person most responsible for the genocide in Occupied Palestine is Joe Biden.

The man is not an uwu smol bean grandpa. He attacked Anita Hill and helped put Clarence Thomas on SCOTUS.

⭕️ Breaking: Top Palestinian Official Meets Tony Blair on Trump’s Gaza Plan

Hussein Al-Sheikh — a top Ramallah-based Palestinian official known for his close ties to the U.S. and Israel, the former head of the Civil Affairs Authority, and widely seen as Mahmoud Abbas’s likely successor — said he...

Today, I met with Mr. Tony Blair to discuss the following day and the means of succeeding President Trump's efforts aimed at stopping the war and establishing permanent peace in the region. We affirmed our readiness to work with President Trump, with Mr. Blair, and with the concerned partners to consolidate the ceasefire, introduce aid, release the hostages and prisoners, and proceed to recovery and reconstruction. We also affirmed the importance of stopping the undermining of the Palestinian Authority, particularly by returning the frozen Palestinian funds and preventing the undermining of the two-state solution as a prelude to comprehensive and permanent peace in accordance with international legitimacy.

Bronze age panel of Hawkman at the controls of a spaceship or the justice league satellite. He looks alarmed as he turns to his right and says, “With BATMAN and SUPERMAN disabled, we need HELP – – all we can get! I’m contacting GREEN LANTERN, GREEN ARROW, BLACK CANARY – – canceling their leaves of absence – – IMMEDIATELY!“ There is an Asterix at the end of the sentence and at the bottom of the panel the footnote reads “the REASONS for the trios absences have been related – – memorably – – in the July 1970 issue of GREEN LANTERN!“

The "triumphs over" is basically Trumpism that's too cowardly to admit it's Trumpism. Trump also "triumphed over" everything. He evaded accountability. He made the bet that he didn't have to give a shit about anything, and there were enough yes-men /women around him to prove him right.
