This is the attitude every Democrat needs to adopt. You need to be ruthless, to truly understand that Republican politicians are not your coworkers but an existential threat, then you need to crush them.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

It feels very weird to have such an absolute lad as Pontiff. Like a Pope you know has gone to town on a big thing of wings.

This line from Mamdani's father just really struck me. Great profile:

“I was an Indian in Uganda. I was a Muslim in India. And I was all of these things in New York City,” Mahmood Mamdani explained to his son. And “to be a minority is also to see the truth of the place amidst the promise of it.”

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 2d

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Chatting with our teen nephew tonight, he pointed out something we had not considered.

The Portland “Frog Brigade” has not only dismantled Trump’s propaganda “war torn” narrative. But, it’s also flipped the symbolism of the frog from hate to humor, from alt-right to anti-fascist.

A small reminder that my commissions are open and that there are still a discounted lineart or sketch slot!

Dm me with your project to save a slot!

Tarot style commissions example :Tarot card like art splited in two by ices dragons. Top half show a drow with purple skin and white and blue hairs holding a wand as a dagger, and a sword. The lower half show an elf in armor the two hands on her axe. Her arm is covered by scales.

Rendered commissions example : An illustration of a tall humanoid with horns from back. He is looking at the viewer and hold a dagger behind his back. He has a long black ponytail and a black coat ! Behind him purples flames forms a wings

Rendered commission example : An illustration of a badass woman levitating in the air,--in the middle of levitating rocks. She has black clothes with subtle ornaments and roses pattern. The background show a city scape with towers in fog and cloud

The sequel is bad in so many ways but maybe the most unforgivable to me is naming that man’s son “Jake.”

There is no goddamn world where Stacker Motherfucking Pentecost named his son JAKE

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 4d

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.
