Not often does Hollywood attempt existentialist endings, without illusion or false consolation, which dignify life as a predicament that need not be solved. This is from Up in the Air, Jason Reitman's movie of my novel about a man who is forever between things. And who chooses to live...

Your morning white pill from Jeremy Boreing is that to succeed, you must resist a victim mentality: “One of the great truths in life is that you cannot behave as a victim even if you are one- perhaps especially if you are one bc then it is actually reinforced by reality… One of the hardest things to do is to see yourself as a person with agency. It is the difference between the people who succeed in life and the people who don’t. It’s the difference between the people who are happy and the people who are not.”

THE ACTIONS IN THIS VIDEO ARE REAL! It wasn’t made out of mere content or to push a false narrative! Every emotion you feel from watching it is very VALID. It is MY LIFE STORY. not a prank not for views! But an AWARENESS. MY question is WHAT IS THE REAL INTENTION of the individual who posted the other VIDEO? Is it to DEBUNK THE MESSAGE? My APOLOGIES STILL if you feel BAD 🙏🏾.

In this clip, an MP (a heavily armed one) in the Somali House of the People responds to a reporter's question. "How are you feeling, Parliamentarian Jaafar?" "There was some minor qolof qolof, and it is the nature of men to fight..." For the parents who lost their son, the armed boy who lost his life or limbs, or those uninvolved civilians in the vicinity of the armed confrontation who lost their lives or livelihoods, I do not think it is only a "qolof qolof." This shows why some politicians in Mogadishu and Somalia at large live on a totally different planet from the people they purport to represent. 🗒️An academic paper I published in 2024 eerily relates this pathology to the old national curriculum.

This might be the most beautiful Christmas message you've ever heard. Canadian MP Richard Bragdon astoundingly just shared the entire Nativity story of Jesus’ birth in the House of Commons. The pro-life MP brought out parts of the story as it relates to hard times happening in Canada today on account of the Trudeau Liberals’ failing policies. Taxes: “We can see that back then, as it is now, it was a time of taxation. It was a burdensome time.” Housing crisis: “The innkeeper says there is no room in the inn for them. There was a housing crisis in Bethlehem.” MP Bragdon even managed to take a stab at NPD leader Jagmeet Singh over his luxury car. “This promised king and prince of peace did not come by way of a palace, was not escorted by a private jet and did not come in a Maserati.” The entire speech was brilliant. It's worth taking the time to watch the whole clip. Richard Bragdon ended his speech with a powerful testimony to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. “My prayer for everyone in this House is that it helps all of them to know that, yes, he came for everyone on every side of the House, regardless of partisanship or politics, because there are things bigger than politics in life.” “That is the greatest gift that was ever given, because his name was to be called Emmanuel, which means “God is with us”. He is with us in uncertain times. He is with us in hurtful times. He is with us in painful times and in joyous times, and he promised to never leave us.” “With that, to conclude, my wish for the House and for everyone in Canada who is hurting right now is that he may be their Emmanuel, their God, who is with them and with us. Merry Christmas to members and their families.” If you agree with hearing this kind of speech in our Parliament, please repost. #cdnpoli #Christmas2024

Do you think that by the folly of man, the glory of God can be diminished? . I tell you, no kingdom of this earth, no rebellion of heart, no blasphemy of tongue can ever tarnish the majesty of the Almighty. His glory is not made by the hands of men, nor is it undone by their defiance. . Consider the arrogance of those who refuse to kneel, who claim that their disbelief can unmake the Creator. They are like madmen in a darkened cell, scratching the word ‘darkness’ upon the walls as though, by their crude mark, they could blot out the sun. But tell me, does the sun diminish because it is unseen by the blind? Does its light falter because a lunatic curses its name? No, my friend. The sun remains, burning with relentless brilliance, giving life to all who dwell beneath it, whether they acknowledge it or not. . So it is with God. His glory is eternal, unshaken by the denial of men. He is the architect of the heavens, the One who breathed life into dust and set the stars upon their courses. His majesty does not depend on our worship, yet it is we who are diminished when we turn away. For in refusing to see His light, we do not extinguish it—we only cast ourselves into the shadow of our own making. . Know that to deny God is not an act of power but of despair. It is the rejection of hope, the refusal to see the beauty written into the very fabric of existence. A man who scribbles darkness upon the walls of his soul does not conquer the light, he only blinds himself to it. Yet even in his rebellion, God’s glory shines undimmed. For the sun does not cease to rise because a man refuses to look upon it. And God does not cease to reign because His children wander from His embrace. . If you ever find yourself in doubt, remember this: the defiance of man is but a whisper against the roar of eternity. The glory of God is as unyielding as the mountains and as boundless as the sea. It is woven into the sunrise, the turning of the seasons, the song of creation itself. You cannot destroy it. You cannot unmake it. You can only choose whether to bask in its light or to linger in the shadows. . Take heart, then and do not be swayed by the noise of those who mock the divine. For their words are as fleeting as the wind but the glory of God is eternal. Acknowledge Him not because He needs your praise but because your soul needs His light. Worship Him not as a favor to the Almighty but as a declaration that you see, that you understand, that you are humbled by the grandeur of the One who crafted all that is and all that ever will be. . God’s glory is not diminished by denial, nor is it amplified by praise. But you, my friend—you are elevated when you bow before the Eternal. You are strengthened when you trust in the One who holds the stars in place. And you are transformed when you abandon the shadows of pride and step into the radiance of His truth. . Remember this always: the lunatic may scrawl his defiance but he cannot extinguish the light. The doubter may deny the sun but he cannot halt its rise. And the world may rage against the King of Kings but it cannot dethrone Him. Stand firm, therefore, as one who walks in the light of God. Let your life be a testimony that His glory endures forever, unshaken, unyielding and undeniable. . For in the end, my friend, it is not God who is diminished by our defiance. It is we. And it is not the sun that falters when we turn away—it is the world that grows colder in its absence. #ChristIsKing #WeAreTheStorm

Emily Blunt on the plot of Disclosure Day “What can you tell us about the plot of the movie itself?” “The big idea of it is that question that sparked the fires of human imagination for years. Are we alone or are we not alone? And if we aren't, why are the people in power hiding the truth from us? And so the movie is like a life or death race against time for those that believe the truth belongs to 8 billion people and those who believe that it doesn't and they want to keep it secret.”

Most people choose belonging over accuracy. The desire to fit in overpowers the desire for truth. "A lot of the time, people will tell you, “Don’t care what other people think about you,” but we all care what other people think—often for very good reason, which is that if people think well of you, it benefits you in life. It puts you in a good position; you are rewarded for it. It helps you accomplish things. It makes you safer. It just feels good. Belonging is a critical part of being human. However, especially in the modern world, the desire to belong can often run counter to the desire to understand or be accurate. If you have to choose between “I could believe this thing and be ostracized or criticized or outcast from my community” or “I could believe this other thing, which may not be that accurate, but it will get me praised and rewarded and accepted by my community,” a lot of the time, the desire to belong overpowers the desire to understand."

In light of the names Anneke Lucas mentioned, like the former Canadian prime minister who is dead now, but is the father of the current one. It is being shared all over the internet now. Canadian accounts are posting this, and it is getting lots of attention. This is also a wake-up call for Canada. A lot of people in Canada are commenting on social media that they are shocked by this guy being named. But actually he was already mentioned by Cathy O'Brien in 1995, as being involved in these networks! See the video below. So there is corroboration between these witnesses. A lot of these former and now deceased prime ministers she mentions were, at that time that she was in it in the 70s, involved in this. Also the Belgian one that Anneke names, and was also named by other witnesses. Which tells us, like these witnesses say, this was a global network. So the truth was already out there a bit, but it is coming out more for a bigger public. We will have more revelations coming out in 2025 about these dark dealing that have been going on at the highest levels, I'm sure. This is going to be a shock for a lot of people that are new to this information, because it is reaching a bigger public. Some will choose not to believe it, do no research, and look no further. But a lot more people will wake up to this, it is unstoppable. Of course, we have to check in with our own vibration. If it gets too heavy, take some time out and go for a walk in nature. Whilst revelations are important for the truth to come out, and confronting hard information is part of that, we have to check with our selves how this information is affecting us, and sometimes we need a time off. It is always most important to maintain a healthy balance between checking in with this information and our own peace of mind. #Epstein #PBDpodcast

🧵1/ I’m back from a short trip on a social network with photographs and videos from Gaza, with some brief personal conclusions. First, it is quite clear that there are those in Gaza who know how to make extensive use of the networks and social media for the purposes of emotional extortion and also false propaganda, exactly like they live streamed the October 7 massacre and somehow turned it into “justified resistance”, they use quite a few Western buzzwords such as “genocide”, “occupation”, “oppression” and “Zionism”- and this is the simplest way to distinguish between Hamas propaganda posts and authentic people in Gaza, whom I’ve known all my life, who use much simpler words and not this indoctrinated manipulation bullshit. I was looking for THESE authentic people - the real voices. And I think I found a few. So first of all, what do I think there is NOT happening in Gaza? There is no genocide and no famine. Yes, there is quite a lot of suffering, shortages in some places and lack of decent shelter etc. And there’s a lot of cynical exploitation of it for propaganda purposes. I’m saying it because you can see children are getting payed for it, you can see the absolute control of distribution and you can see how basic needs and the way out is blocked with money- Israel is not taking money for any of it, the West is sending free aid, so the money is demanded by those who want to control the suffering and use it. You should know, that before the war - there was already quite a lot of very poor population in Gaza, but now the economic difficulty has greatly increased for two main reasons: one, the war damaged many sources of livelihood and the second - a major source of livelihood was working in Israel and this option was closed for a long time now, since October 7, and is now much less operational. So in fact the main source of income is donations and funding from Hamas for control purposes of course. This is how, among other things, Hamas uses the population to "work for them", and also to smile or cry for the cameras on demand. Now on the issue of claimed famine- famine is when there’s NO food and water, enough for the population. As I said, my personal conclusion is that there is no shortage of food and water in Gaza at all. The problem is that the food is not distributed equally, it is controlled by those who are powerful (usually Hamas operatives) and then sold at high costs to the population without them having sources of livelihood. Food that should be distributed for #free is actually sold at a high price, the shelter tents are also paid for and the exit from Gaza is particularly expensive (5000$ that are paid to the transporters). There are quite a few who refer to Gaza as a "prison" but Gaza is not a prison, Hamas has simply created a situation where it is very expensive to leave it - and thus the poor and the new poor are completely dependent on Hamas and other clans (Hamulas) in everything to do with food, shelter and exit, and they play with them as pawns. If Gaza is a prison - then it’s because Hamas are imprisoning it. All the suffering in Gaza started because of #Hamas it continues and increases because of #Hamas, but the main point is that #Hamas is also the one factor that can stop it. If Hamas surrendered unconditionally and released the Israeli hostages, as done in any war in which you are forced to admit defeat - they would truly liberate Palestine. Remember- this is a war that #Hamas started, a war that on Oct. 7 was celebrated in the streets of Gaza. But #Hamas prefers to keep the Palestinians captive so that it can showcase suffering (which they create) and use it as a tool for financial donations, manipulation of the West and a messianic jihadist war that will never end for them. If the West doesn’t wake up to this ongoing manipulation- they will never help the Palestinians in Gaza or in general, and they will bring this jihadist chaos to their doorstep From Gaza >

RFK Jr. says parents need to teach their kids that life is a competition. They shouldn’t shield them from failure or embarrassment. “Competition is part of life.” “If we want a country that is strong in the world, we need kids who are willing to compete.” “A lot of times that involves failure and it may sometimes involve embarrassment.” “That's part of life.” “Parents have to be sensitive about how their children process experience, but they can't tell them that life is not going to be hard and that life is not a competition.”

~ Meet the hypocrite youtuber PJ ~ In his review of Ramayana, he said that it is a Hollywood level film, so there should be no flaws in it, people should criticize it And he was finding flaws in each and every frame. "Excessive nitpicking" But in the review of Odyssey he is saying that this is a modern adaptation, we should not go into such details, he's calling out people for nitpicking... Who can be a bigger hypocrite than him, he earns money from India and flatters the anglophones (angrej). When the VFX in Ramayana was a bit half-backed, he was criticising it a lot but when the VFX of a Hollywood movie is not up to the mark, he is defending it.... Here's the clip from both movie reviews.

Thodōros Angelopoulos explains the difference between his films & those of Ingmar Bergman: "I don't find any similarities between my work and Bergman's. My cinema is not psychological, it is epic; the individual in it is not psychoanalyzed but placed within a historical context. My characters assume all the elements of epic cinema or, if I may say so, those of epic poetry, typically featuring clear-cut persona. In Homer, Odysseus is a shrewd conniver, Achilles is brave, loyal to his friends-and these characteristics never change. The same with Brecht whose characters are larger than life; they serve as carriers of history or ideas. My characters are not being analyzed, they are not tormented, like Bergman's. They are more humane. They search for lost things, all that was lost in the rupture between desire and reality. Until not very long ago the history of the world was based on desire; the desire to change the world one way or another. Now at the end of the century we realize that whatever was desired never really happened, and it did not happen for reasons that I am unable to explain. Perhaps it was impossible to change things using the specific methods that were employed at the time, but in any case, we are left with the experience of our failure, with the ashes of the disappointment of dreams that never materialized. My last three films reflect this taste of ashes, leaving the desire to be pursued in some future time, in the next discourse. My writing and Bergman's do not relate. In his films there is a strong metaphysical element which identifies the search for the father figure with the search for God or the denial of God. I think that in my own work, the father figure does not represent a goal in itself; the purpose of my films is to find a reason to exist. My films are not as metaphysical. They are, in a strange way, more existential than Bergman's. This is certainly the case for the trilogy- "Voyage to Cythera" (1984), "The Beekeeper" (1986), and "Landscape in the Mist" (1988)". (Theo Angelopoulos' interview with Gerald O'Grady, 1990)

Thodōros Angelopoulos explains the difference between his films & those of Ingmar Bergman: "I don't find any similarities between my work and Bergman's. My cinema is not psychological, it is epic; the individual in it is not psychoanalyzed but placed within a historical context. My characters assume all the elements of epic cinema or, if I may say so, those of epic poetry, typically featuring clear-cut persona. In Homer, Odysseus is a shrewd conniver, Achilles is brave, loyal to his friends-and these characteristics never change. The same with Brecht whose characters are larger than life; they serve as carriers of history or ideas. My characters are not being analyzed, they are not tormented, like Bergman's. They are more humane. They search for lost things, all that was lost in the rupture between desire and reality. Until not very long ago the history of the world was based on desire; the desire to change the world one way or another. Now at the end of the century we realize that whatever was desired never really happened, and it did not happen for reasons that I am unable to explain. Perhaps it was impossible to change things using the specific methods that were employed at the time, but in any case, we are left with the experience of our failure, with the ashes of the disappointment of dreams that never materialized. My last three films reflect this taste of ashes, leaving the desire to be pursued in some future time, in the next discourse. My writing and Bergman's do not relate. In his films there is a strong metaphysical element which identifies the search for the father figure with the search for God or the denial of God. I think that in my own work, the father figure does not represent a goal in itself; the purpose of my films is to find a reason to exist. My films are not as metaphysical. They are, in a strange way, more existential than Bergman's. This is certainly the case for the trilogy- "Voyage to Cythera" (1984), "The Beekeeper" (1986), and "Landscape in the Mist" (1988)".

Emily Blunt talks about working with Steven Spielberg in "Disclosure Day": "I got a call from my agent saying Steven Spielberg wanted to meet me for his next movie. And I literally screamed. I met him in his office in Tribeca, and he pitched me a little bit of it. [...]. So, I mean, the big idea of it is that question that has sparked the fires of human imagination for years: Are we alone, or are we not alone? And if we aren't, why are the people in power hiding the truth from us? The movie is like a life-or-death race against time for those who believe the truth belongs to 8 billion people and those who believe that it doesn't and want to keep it secret. I'm sure you are now getting asked a lot about your own personal belief as to whether there are aliens or not. I think it would be arrogant for me to assume that we are alone."

Elon Musk: Do we want to be in many worlds, or forever confined to Earth? “There are so many things to worry about, so many things to be concerned about. There are many troubles in the world, of course, and these are important, and we need to solve them. But we also need things that make us excited to be alive, that make us glad to wake up in the morning and be fired up about the future and think the future is going to be great. Space exploration is one of those things. Becoming a space-faring civilization, being out there among the stars, this is one of the things that I know makes me glad to be alive. I think it makes many people glad to be alive. It's one of the best things. Really, we're faced with a choice: Which future do you want? Do you want a future where we become a space-faring civilization and are in many worlds and are out there among the stars, or one where we are forever confined to Earth? I say it is the first. And I hope you agree with me.” Starship Update, September 2019

Andrei Tarkovsky's own comments about Mirror (1975) reflects how special this film was for him: "As I began work on Mirror, I found myself reflecting more and more that if you are serious about your work, then a film is not the next item in your career, it is an action which will affect the whole of your life. For I had made up my mind that in this film, for the first time, I would use the means of cinema to talk of all that was most precious to me, and do so directly, without playing any kinds of tricks."

It’s really important for Americans to realize that this is a bigggg misconception that applies to all immigration, not just China. The people who come over the border, regardless of whether they’re Chinese, Indian, Mexican, Central American, generally are “not their best”. I use quotes because that’s something Trump said, “they don’t send their best”. And he is absolutely correct. There are exceptions, but the people who cross the border, tend to be criminals, people who can’t a get a job, the uneducated, etc. Why? The educated can get jobs in their home countries. Or can immigrate to the US legally (at least used to). If you have a criminal record in your home country, you don’t have one in the USA. If you screwed up and dropped out of high school, you can cut vegetables in the back of a restaurant. Law abiding citizens of foreign countries, no matter what you think about the greatness of America, are not thrilled to break the law and enter a country like this. This immigration for many if not most of these countries is economic. Most of these people are not coming for a better life. They are coming for the currency arbitrage. Or at least that used to be the case. From 2021 to 2024 border crossing immigrants were getting free housing and cash debit cards (look it up) in places like NYC. So that, again, brought another type of person, but, again, it was “not their best”. So, unless you’re in a country that is experiencing civil war, or maybe a total basket case, you mainly go to the US via the illegal border, not for a better life but for currency arbitrage or because you don’t have a better option in your home country which has made it tough for you to get a job for whatever reason. Okay, now let’s talk a bit more about China. For the Chinese that cross the border, life is way better in China. They speak the language. There is less crime. They’re surrounded by their family. They don’t need a car in most places. It’s the same culture and there friends are there. Life is pretty good in China, and because they’re going to work hard in the USA too, it’s probably better in China across every single socioeconomic quartile of society too (unless you have a criminal record or can’t get a job for whatever reason). So when Americans write things like “Chinese are dying to come to America”, there could be a political issue there eg on the wrong side of the communist party, but it’s mainly Americope, something we tell ourselves. It may have been true 10 years ago, but it’s no longer true. America needs to change that. We need to go back to when everyone wanted to come here, not just for money but for a better life. And this is something you should believe even if you don’t want immigration. If this keeps up, if we keep letting life decline, eventually the currency will too, and all these people who actually work quite hard will not only stop coming, but many will leave too. The replies are all going to basically be like (without saying it) “shut up white American. You don’t know” Yeah but I do know because I talk to people who people who look like me don’t talk to. In the below video (before I got good at short form videos) I had just been thrown out of a migrant detention center.

Tucker Carlson reveals Charlie Kirk’s greatest “sin” — the one that cost him his life. Kirk’s death has clearly lit a fire under Carlson. This is two minutes of Tucker at his absolute best. “Charlie was not a Nazi. He was not killed because he was a Nazi. Yes, he was a defender of Israel. He didn’t die for Israel. However, why did he die? What was his life about? What was the sin, the core sin that Charlie Kirk committed against somebody, power that got him killed in the end? “And, the answer is right in front of us, certainly those of us who knew him. Charlie’s life was defined by his Christian faith, not his spirituality, but his belief in Jesus, his life as a Christian. Everything in his life flowed from those beliefs. Everything. “Everything he did, said and believed came from the fact that he was above all, a Christian. And that is and was and in fact has always been deeply provocative and offensive to the rest of the world. “And why is that? It’s worth thinking about it for just a second. Christianity doesn’t seem like the kind of religion that provoke people to anger and violence. In fact, it seems just the opposite. It’s the world’s most profoundly nonviolent religion. Maybe the world’s only truly nonviolent religion, a religion based on a man who Christians believe was also God, who, as he was being led away to be tortured to death on made up charges, scolded one of his disciples for fighting back. “This is a religion committed to love above all and to living in peace and harmony. Truly, it’s a universalist religion that believes that every person has a shot at heaven. It’s not exclusionary at all. And so you would think it would make sense that if you’re a government or if you’re in power, that you’d want a lot of Christians living in your country because they’re not going to cause massive problems. “Not a lot of sincere Christians are fomenting insurrection at any given moment. Pretty much none. Most of the time they’re tidy. They get married, they love their children, they pay their taxes. They’re commanded to pay their taxes. So why wouldn’t you want a nation full of Christians? “Why wouldn’t you encourage this religious belief, even if it wasn’t yours? Why would you hate it? Well, there are a couple of reasons. There are a couple of things about Christianity, and these were evident throughout Charlie’s public life, that are deeply provocative to the people in power. “And the first is the insistence that Christianity comes with inherently that you are not God, you are not God and neither are your leaders. God is God and all of us stand before him in the end to be judged and all of us will be found lacking. “Christians believe the only way to heaven is through Jesus. That’s the only way. But all of us, whether we believe in Jesus or not, are fallen. We are sinners, we are less than we ought to be. We are not gods, and neither are the people who lead us.”

Some souls are so beautiful because they are brave. They see the pain carried by their parents, they understand where the decay began and how it spread - still, they do their best not to let it rot them from within. There are those who have been hurt by their parents, yet still love them, not because their parents were perfect but because they choose to love what is imperfect and to honour the origin point of a part of themselves. Yet many carry immense guilt even in admitting their parents failed them. Their compassion is so great that they hold themselves back from facing the full weight of the truth they deserve, always one step removed, always at arm's length, unable to let it land because of that guilt. But the body remembers. The truth is, both can be true. You can despise the decay and pain that has been unleashed upon you without guilt and honour your own suffering, your own journey - at the same time, you can acknowledge how your parents came to be as they are, through the weight of their own unhealed and unresolved pain. Similarly, those who feel immense resentment and hate towards their parents often find, in the quiet moments before they fall asleep, that a part of them still longs to connect - a subtle whisper of desire always remains, because they carry hope. Hate is just corroded love, it is not indifference. It is love unresolved and suspended, pooled like still water. The most heartbreaking part is that they feel disgust, sometimes even hatred, towards themselves for wanting this. Yet no matter how much they rationalise, a part of them will always long for it. And it is okay to want this. It does not make them weak or pathetic. The polarity must be felt in full, and then accepted in its entirety, on both ends. The greatest wars are not fought between angels and demons, but in the hearts of those who carry the deepest wounds.
