A 3D model of the solar system, driven by the sun's gravitation pull.
The solar system does not look like a flat spinning mobile. The sun hold 99.8% of the mass in the solar system and it's gravity keeps every planet , asteroid and comet locked in orbit around it.
i used to work with a woman who everybody adored.
she had one of those soft, reassuring voices that made people immediately trust her.
brought banana bread into the office.
remembered details about everyone’s lives.
sent “hope your dog is okay!!” messages if somebody mentioned a vet appointment three weeks earlier.
if you’d asked me back then who the kindest person in the office was, i probably would’ve said her without hesitation.
which is exactly why it took me forever to notice what was happening.
the first few times felt so small i barely registered them.
i’d be halfway through telling a story at lunch and she’d interrupt with:
“sorry wait, i’m confused already.”
and suddenly instead of telling the story i’d be explaining the story.
or i’d answer something in a meeting and she’d tilt her head a little and go:
“hm. are you sure?”
like she was helping me avoid embarrassing myself.
and the horrible part is that it worked.
i started editing myself before i spoke.
double-checking things i already knew.
talking faster whenever somebody questioned me because i felt like i had to defend my own sentences before they were even finished.
the weirdest part was nobody else seemed to notice because technically she wasn’t doing anything wrong.
there was never a moment dramatic enough to point at.
it was death by paper cuts.
then one afternoon i was explaining something to a group and she did the usual:
“wait sorry, that doesn’t make sense to me.”
and another coworker immediately went:
“no, it makes sense. you do this to her constantly.”
the room went dead quiet.
i don’t even remember what happened after that because all i could think was:
oh my god. i’m not crazy.
and honestly i think that’s why subtle people can mess with your head so badly.
if somebody openly humiliates you, your brain knows to protect itself.
but when somebody slowly teaches you to distrust your own voice, you end up helping them do the damage.
Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.
Boomers be like, “Just walk into the office and ask for a job.”
The office: locked
The recruiter: AI
The interview: automated
The job posting: fake
The rejection email: instant
Your data: sold
The masses will call you a bad person when you integrate your shadow because they can't control you anymore
The moment you regain sovereignty, you become a mirror to the people who live entirely at the whims of others
They will interpret your boundaries as selfishness, your independence as arrogance, and your refusal to conform as an existential threat
They will attack you and sincerely believe that they are righteous for doing so

I saw Fight Club when it first came out in 1999.
I initially thought Tyler Durden what is the main character's conscience - going through a real life downward spiral - narrated by the conscience.
now I understand that Tyler was the dominant altar of a ClA MKultra asset who started getting his memories back during a long-term covert mission.
@EthanLevins2 Bible believing Christian’s should beware. Netanyahu is ashkanazi Jew (modern day cannaite). Canaanites worshipped Baal and Molech with child sacrifice. This is why Epstein existed.
