When I was out walking this morning, a cat I've never seen before came running over to me while meowing insistently from half a block away. They did a figure eight around my ankles so I petted them, scritched their chin and said they were a good kitty -- then, seemingly satisfied, they wandered off.

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 17h

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

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.

Bocchi the Rock! — The Visual Novel (2025)

a mockup of what a btr visual novel could look like :3

#pixelart #brart
#ぼっち・ざ・ろっく #bocchi #bocchitherock

A mockup of a conceptual visual novel game based on the Bocchi the Rock! franchise. The mockup consists of a border, a background, a talking sprite and a textbox.

The border is themed around an audio mixer, featuring dials, switches, and such. There's a photo of Kessoku Band jumping in the top left; a jack, XLR plugs and stickers inspired by the franchise on the right.

The background depicts a rehearsal room inside Starry, a club where a lot of the story takes place. The talking sprite is one of Bocchi herself, timidly holding a hand up to her neck and looking away while blushing. Her hair has red, blue and yellow highlights.

The textbox consists of two parts. First, a name field, styled after a "Hello! My name is" sticker. The name displayed is that of Bocchi, written like a stylized signature. The second part of the textbox is the dialogue, and it's stylized like sheet music, with a treble clef and a 4/4 time signature to the left. To the right, the dialogue, spoken by Bocchi, says "O-Oh, Kita, hi! I didn't see you there... How are you doing today?"

Finally, at the bottom, there are buttons for options. "Log," "Save," "Load," "Skip," "Settings," and "Auto," each preceded by a corresponding icon.

The museums are being shutdown.
Are we great yet?
Everyone’s being fired.
Are we great yet?
Food is rotting in our fields.
Are we great yet?
The market’s crashing greatly.
Diseases are now running rampant.
At what point aren’t we great?
Our military’s in line at food banks.
So super great.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
