Chatter on J-Twitter: Peter Thiel’s β€œphilosophy” after his meeting with the Prime Minister. It’s very fascinating to watch Japanese speakers try to make sense of American religiosity.

Some context, I guess, his First Things article was translated into Japanese not too long ago. Users were flummoxed as to what One Piece and Monkey D. Luffy had to do with the anti-Christ. I wanted to explain it’s because Thiel and his friends fucked their souls up with one Psilocybin trip too many.

Also it is even funnier that in the popular consciousness Clinton gets credit for being completely peripheral to Oslo while almost every serious historian of diplomacy agrees that he bears an almost uniquely singular degree of blame for the failures at Camp David.

Nintendo is always consistent but they put out 3 sorta mid games that should have been world class and without extrapolating too much that does not feel great.

The year is 2006. Jeremy Clarkson is ranting on Top Gear about speed cameras being fascism. Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown is delivering the Spring Statement. You are taking a photo with your new digital camera. It's going to be an amazing century for Britain.

Namaste, my name is Śrī Khen.

I am a 27 y/o praΕ›anak (India fan for pardeΕ›Δ«). I draw chitras on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and watching superior Bollywood movies (Sholay, Main Hoon Na). I speak Hindi fluently, both the Bhojpuri and Chhattisgarhi dialects. Wish me luck in Delhi!

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complexβ€”Season 1
Presented in both the original and English-dubbed versions
Of the myriad adaptations of the foundational cyberpunk manga Ghost in the Shell, the animated TV series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex arguably comes closest to capturing the breadth, vision, and thematic complexity of the original. The twenty-six-episode first season unfolds as a riveting science-fiction crime procedural, following the members of the specialized police unit known as Public Security Section 9 as they investigate high-profile cyberterrorism incidents in a future where humans have increasingly become cybernetic hybrids. Their work ultimately leads them into the case of the Laughing Man, an elusive hacktivist whose attempts to expose a vast web of corporate and political corruption threaten to destabilize powerful institutions. Combining sleek visuals with provocative themes surrounding the dissolving boundaries between humans and technology, Stand Alone Complex remains a thrilling high point in the art of anime: absorbing, intelligent, and often unsettlingly prescient.
