Jared Leto, more than any other actor, makes me think of what Robert Pattinson said about method actors in a 2019 Variety interview:
Pictured: Screenshot of excerpted text from a larger Variety interview (Nov 13, 2019): Text displayed: Though Pattinson respects the practice of method acting – a technique in which a performer strives for complete emotional identification with a role, both on and off screen – it’s not a style which he practices himself. “I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an a–holes,” Pattinson admitted. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.” End excerpt

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?
A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable. " Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Hot take the shutdown isn't ending in the normal way. They'll use the doge backdoor to force the treasury to pay ice and the military. They'll make insane demands to congress in exchange for turning on that whole services part of the government

Thanks Google for pulling up a photo I took of a machine readout at work, and calling it "Chicago memories". Great work

This reminds me a bit of an article about dating in Soviet East Germany. A doctor complained that he used to be able to just say he's a doctor but without the wage disparity he had to compete with guys who were funny or interesting

I can’t get over that Guardian article about Chatfishing. These people are the blandest and most vapid people around. Holy shit just google it and think about something.
Jamil, 25, from Leicester, admits he's a prolific Chatfisher but argues that Al is simply a workaround for what he sees as the coded jargon of modern dating. "Like, what do you mean 'What's my attachment style?'" he balks. "Every girl on the apps has this thing about love languages' - it's just gibberish, but if you don't talk about it, people are like, 'Oh you're a red flag."

Military/Paramilitary forces vary in their professionalism. Some, like the FBI and DOD have high professionalism and high commitment to rule of law. Some, like ICE, don't. So Trump is purging DOD/FBI in the hope that leaders will become more like ICE.

Sure whatever the one piece guy is a Christ figure, the watchmen guy is an antichrist. But imagine thinking that's so important that you have an invite only series of lectures about it. Real critical stuff for civilization

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.
