The fact that a candidate saying this stuff has to fight his own party establishment, while old news, is nevertheless utterly crazy-making

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 1d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I know I'm gonna regret buying this only a few days before ZA comes out cause I'll probably end up not finishing it before then and then I'll forget and it'll sit there for months probably but oh well

someone on the Internet who really wants to convince you to shine lasers at manned aircraft as a protest tactic “because they did it in Chile in 2019” is either:

1. a fascist fed, or,

2. so terminally stupid that they have become functionally indistinguishable from one

Its honestly really weird to me that people will get mad at the simple statement of fact "the FAA will send you to big kid jail for shining lasers at airplanes"

Actually, fans traveling to road games *is* bad because if blackhawks fans on vacation weren't packing the house for so long, the florida panthers might have gone bankrupt and not become the terrorist organization they are now

TTPD and TLOAS make sense as sister albums if you view them as being specifically written *at* not about Matty Healy

Because one is "fuck you, this experience was so awful I almost killed myself over it"

And then it follows up with "look who landed a rich himbo with a massive hog, bitch 🖕"

Dude I’m calling it, Thiel is cooked. He accidentally dropped a Tangible Detail. Most people didn’t know he existed and now he’s The Billionaire Who Thinks That One Piece Is Jesus.

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 1d

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.
