I just want to gently remind y'all that fascists do everything they can to suppress artists because artists have the power to expose the truth and motivate people to oppose them. Thus, support and protect artists as much as you can.

Yeah, I try to wait until the full season(s) drop before watching cause you just can't trust Netflix not to cancel something right in the middle. I just finished watching Stone Ocean last week, lol.

man… this is probably the best animated intro out of all of em 🥲 like they really put their balls in this one.

the lyrics are directly related to the story of Part 2 and the animation is no different, highlighting the threat of the Pillar Men

Freddy Krueger. Jason has zero personality which is probably why I always mix him up with Micheal Myers who also has no personality.

It doesn't matter how well you do your art, someone will always misinterpret it or twist it to suit their purposes. You should still make art but just be aware that there are terrible people out there who will try to do terrible things with it.

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.

Putting out a call. Are you a Kamen Rider / Toku fan? Ideally Euro-side (for time zones) but I can work around that.

Wanna put out some kinda weekly look at the new KR Zeztz & that related anime 'Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider'.

Personally I'm super new to the series but I'd love to chat it up.

I think the 2019 Word has an autosave to hard drive feature but Microsoft is making it so your documents save to the cloud and I don't like that. I don't trust them to not take advantage of the situation and there's just too many data leaks.

Curbs stay trying to take people out. I swear they move around just so you trip on them. Be careful out there, lol.

"I don't want to save to the cloud. I want to save to My Documents, on the computer, that I own, that's in my own house."

Heads up writer fam. Microsoft will automatically start saving your MS Word projects to OneDrive. If you don't want that, I suggest you turn it off or, better yet, uninstall OneDrive. #writingcommunity #writesky
