Yesterday ex-Bungie exec Martin O’Donnell who successfully sued #Bungie for unpaid wages and stock ownership, did an interview with Act Man about Bungie's recent woes. He implied Bungie CEO Pete Parsons and the #Microsoft corporate ethos and management style he comes from, was to blame. Martin says; "𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨, 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙥𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘽𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢.

"𝙄𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙝𝙪𝙜𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙜𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙜𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩, 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥." Martin also believes he may have been intentionally fired just weeks before his founders stock was due to be vested, so Bungie and its leadership could save money. There were similar staff retention and shares vestment schemes as part of #Sony's acquisition of Bungie, so both would have likely saved money in a similar way with recent layoffs. Martin expands on how Pete Parsons hasn't been at Bungie for decades, and was originally a Microsoft Marketing Executive who was brought in as Studio Manager for Bungie, but left during Bungie's negotiations for independence away from Microsoft. He was not involved in any of Halo 3's production. Unbeknownst to Martin, Pete didn't actually leave the company when he left, instead went back to an executive role at Microsoft. Pete Parsons was brought back in as Marketing Head in an exec role at Bungie around 2009. Over the coming years other executives got fired while Pete eventually went on to assume the top CEO role at Bungie in 2016, just before the release of Destiny 2. Martin continues; "𝘼 𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝘽𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚...𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙩...𝙄 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠. ...𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙤𝙨, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙖 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩.

Everybody keeps asking who should Spurs trade for? But here's the question nobody is asking what if the final piece is already wearing a Spurs jersey? What if Harper becomes the floor general everyone projected, Castle takes another leap as a two-way menace, Vassell turns into a 20+ pts sniper every night, Tobias gives Spurs the playoff toughness they were missing and Wemby finally puts together a full MVP caliber season. Maybe the biggest move San Antonio makes isn't a trade. It's internal growth. That's the scary part about this team. The rest of the league is waiting for the next superstar to arrive Meanwhile, Spurs might already be building one of the deepest and smartest starting fives in basketball. Maybe we've been looking outside the roster when the answers have been sitting in San Antonio all along.

🚨 Jamie Carragher on Arsenal’s 3–2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund: 🗣️“I’ll be honest, I don’t see a team ready to win the Premier League or the Champions League. This is now two defeats in a row in pre-season. Real Betis beat them 3–1, Dortmund come to the Emirates and score three again. Yes, it’s pre-season, but you can’t just ignore everything you are seeing. For me, the biggest concern is Arsenal don’t look like a team that has improved enough. They still have the same problems. When the game becomes difficult, they struggle to control it, and defensively they continue to give teams opportunities. Arteta has been there long enough now. He’s had the money, he’s had the players, he’s had the time. At some point, you have to stop asking what Arsenal need and start asking whether the manager is actually getting the best out of what he already has. Because right now, I don’t see progress. I see a team that could finish the season exactly where they finished the last one: talking about potential, talking about improvement and explaining why next season will be different. If Arsenal genuinely believe they’re ready to challenge Europe’s best, they need to start looking like it.”

🇺🇸 1500m Olympic champion Cole Hocker was asked about possibly attacking Hicham El Guerrouj’s 3:26.00 world record, which has stood since 1998. 💎 Here’s what he said in the press conference before he races in the Lausanne Diamond League tomorrow against Jakob Ingebrigtsen: “Two weeks ago I was a 3:30 guy, and that’s a long way from 3:26, and you have to run 3:25 to get the world record, so I’m trying to figure that out. I’ve run 3:27 one time and I want to get comfortable running that. I am a racer, and all my best races come from racing them tactically, so that might just be something I have to learn. I’ve been in races that are set up fast and have done well, but my bread and butter right now is racing. Now that the world record is a conversation, I’m obviously so excited. I hope to take a stab at that whether it’s this season or next year, but now I have another goal to set my mind to. It was always Olympic gold, and now I’ve checked that box. I’m really concerned with establishing myself as one of the greatest runners in history, so logically that would be the next step.” 🎥 Diamond League AG

Thought for today…. I would like to thank Alexander Isak for his behaviour and forcing to leave Newcastle. I would also like to thank Liverpool for the duplicitous way they unsettled him. Why FFS you may ask? Hear me out… 1. The bloke is not a team player as he showed last season with his performances at the start and end of last season and we only want fully committed players at our club. 2. At some point due to the corrupt PSR rules we were going to have to sell a big player to enable us to move to the next level. It might as well be one with the lack of character and morality that he has shown. 3. Isak and Liverpool have handed us a massive windfall that has the potential to transform the club over the next few seasons. Without this we would not be able to move forward as quickly and we would all be waiting for the axe to fall on another star player. That is less likely now. 4. We now, potentially,have the strongest squad in my living memory (with the possible exception of Keegan’s Entertainers but who knows they may surpass even them) 5. The new CEO and Sporting Director (both of whom are top class if reports are correct) will be walking into a club that is united from top to bottom and in a very strong financial position. A club that has qualified for the Champions League in two of the last 3 season and won its first domestic trophy in 70 years. A club that is clearly on the up. 6. PIF will hopefully have learned lessons from what happened this summer and even though it was a little late they acted in the last few weeks and made sure the end to they transfer window could be deemed a big success despite the circumstances (next up get the CEO and Sporting Director in and announce a new stadium) 7. Eddie Howe, Andy Howe, Jamie Reuben and Steve Nickson have cemented their reputations. In particular Eddie’s handling of the whole Isak affair has been a masterclass in diplomacy, hard work, and man management - we truly have an absolute gem and a gentleman leading the team. 8. In summary we have a club that is united from top to bottom, in a healthy financial position, a much stronger squad with players committed to the club, new top class senior personnel to be added very shortly, a second Champions League season to look forward to and hopefully more silverware. Thanks Isak (you are still a rat) and Liverpool (your £135m will move us to the next level head of time) HWTL 🖤🤍🖤🤍

My Christmas Message to the Peacemakers! Dear Family, Merry Christmas! At Christmas, we remember that Jesus, in all his glory, was born into a world that desperately needed him, but was not ready for him. He wasn’t born into comfort or safety. He was born into a dark and uncertain moment in history. The manger has become a symbol of peace, but in reality, it reflected how little room the world had for God’s son. His arrival was not met with understanding and love, but with fear, rejection, and a search for shelter. And yet, even then, heaven did not retreat. Jesus did not retreat. Jesus came not because the world was ready, but because Heaven could not wait any longer. He came knowing what it might cost. He came willing to go to the ends of the earth to save us. Even when he was misunderstood, even when led toward suffering, even when his path narrowed towards certain death, he did not hold back. He came to fulfill the dream of God, and he was willing to give everything for it. True Father lived with the same determination. He was called at a young age to continue what Jesus longed to fulfill. Father knew the opposition he would face. He knew the price humanity had to pay. And yet he was willing to pay it all himself if he could. He gave everything. He crossed nations, endured prisons, rejection, betrayal, and still never turned back. He longed to fulfill that which Jesus longed to fulfill. He lived his life not for comfort, but for restoration. He did not come to harmonize with the world as it was, but to awaken the world to what it could finally be. And he did all of this with a heart so robust and a smile so bright, that he made us believe it was all truly possible. True Mother has walked the same road. From the time she was a girl, she knew who she was. She accepted her path without complaint. She has stood for God’s dream through every season. Through opposition, loss, misunderstanding, and now, confinement. Not because she seeks sympathy, but because she refuses to abandon Heaven’s hope. Like Jesus. Like Father. She is not looking for acceptance from the world as it is. She is embracing us with the longing heart of a mother. Caressing our wounds to say, "Heaven is here my children. Please have courage. Our Heavenly Parent loves you." She is offering the peace of Heaven. And yet again, the world struggles to receive it. This Christmas, she sits in a prison cell. Not because she has done wrong, but because once again, we do not recognize the one who was sent. But history is not written by the world’s readiness. It is shaped by those who walk into the storm with eyes wide open, and the quiet resolve to carry Heaven’s dream no matter the cost. Jesus was not stopped by rejection. His sacrifice became the cornerstone for the next chapter of God’s providence. True Father was not deterred by resistance. He pushed forward, so that the blessing could be extended to all people. True Mother is not broken by walls or bars. She continues even now to lead, to pray, and to guide us into the next stage of Heaven’s history. Christmas reminds us that God’s work does not pause for ideal circumstances. It breaks through in the midst of darkness. It takes root in humble places. It advances through those who are willing to give everything, even if the world isn’t ready to understand. That is the spirit of Jesus’ birth. That is the spirit of Father’s life. That is the spirit True Mother is showing us now. This is not a time for despair. It is a time to remember why we believe. To remember why we were called. To remember that we are part of something far greater than that which the world can currently see. Many of us will be with our families this Christmas. We should be. Family is at the center of everything we stand for. But let’s also take a moment to remember what this season is truly about. It is not just a memory of a holy birth. It is a reminder that Heaven never stops loving, never stops sending, and never stops calling us to walk that path of devotion. Jesus came with no guarantee he would be received. He came anyway. Father lived with no certainty of success. He never stopped. Mother continues now with no hesitation, even in the face of isolation. They are not waiting for the world to agree. They are living to fulfill God's dream, and it is the world that will have to catch up. That is the spirit we inherit. That is why we keep going. That is why we still believe. Merry Christmas dear family. Merry Christmas. Demian & Family. #GodsDreamOneFamily #Christmas #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace

Show your gang power ft. when will the series be aired? #HighandLowseries #GMMTV2026 #mynameisnanon #skywongrawee #JossWayar #ppnaravit #hirunkit_ #winny 🗣️: Try threaten the other gangs using your words. Nanon: "If you attack us, you'll end up in our van's loading bay" 🙂 // (in Thai, rescue teams use van to carry the injured, also the bodies..) 🗣️: Oh? Winny: What is that?? Nanon: Huh!? Do you want to fight!? 😾 Winny: 😂🤚 Sky: He is picking up a fight. Nani: *tell Winny* There are only 2 of us✌️ (so please be careful of what you talk) 🗣️: Sky, your turn. Sky: I can fight with anyone but not the Wat Yai because they live in sanctuary. You cannot fight them there. 🤭 // (Wat Yai is Joss's gang, which he explained it's a gang that collected savage temple boys, usually poor orphans who have to live in temple and work around for free food. And Thais treat temple area as sanctuary where you cannot do harm to people or animals) 🗣️: 🤣🤣🤣 Sky: But I want to fight with Sawangpaisan. I wanna hit K.Thee. *look at Pond* He is so annoying. Nanon: Wait. Don't you know he already took over our company? Sky: Oh.. I'm very sorry krub 🙏 🗣️: K.Thee. Please do something. Pond: *with boss voice* "Are you scolding me?" 🎩 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sky: All media, I plead for your help. Help me. 😂 🗣️: Well, your turn Nani. Please try using low tone voice to threaten them. Your target is Wat Yai gang. Nani: *look at Joss's towering figure* Oh.... Joss: 👀 Nani: "If you have free food left (from temple), please share with us." 🥺 🗣️: Naniiii 😂 How is this a threat? Nani: I have to be on his side now because my gang has only 2 members. Wait until I recruit more, then I can fight them. 🗣️: But Winny seems ready to leave the gang. 🤭 Winny! Can you try threatening Wat Yai instead? Winny: How can I? When my leader is like this. *point at Nani* Nani: My gang doesn't look scary at all.. What to do? 🥲 Just give me some time. 🗣️: Ok. Now P'Joss. Joss: "If you meet my gang, you can skip being treated by Nanon's (rescue) team and go straight to temple." // (for funeral 🙏) Sky: To crematory 😂 Joss: Or to pray to Buddha. 🙂🙏 Nanon: Making merit. 😂 🗣️: I think there is no need for real filming now (as everyone is already acting random role and it's fun) Nanon: I agree. It's already good as it is so let's end it here. Because truthfully, it was so difficult to gather all of us even for this interview alone. *Pond and Khaotung cracks up behind* 🗣️: Will there be schedule problem when you film then? Nanon: Don't worry. Of course, that will be problem. It's so hard already to gather 7 casts for Scarlet Heart, but this.. *ask behind* How many of us again? 🗣️: 13 Nanon: 13... Sky: And there're still more.. Nanon: So schedule problem is a sure thing. 🗣️: It means next year... Nanon: Nothing yet. Nani: It might not be ready to air yet. Nanon: This is also because we have to cooperate with Japan side *explain how process would be slower than usual* 🗣️: Ok. Thank you 👏👏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Sky: *talk to himself* This (interview) is quite fun. Nanon: This is enough. It's fun only with us chatting (no need to film anything) Sky: 😂 Joss: Then we just see each other in the next 2 years. 🫢 (when real filming starts) ------- Gmmtv boys gathering = pure chaotic

I sat down with David Adelman, co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and CEO of Campus Apartments ($2B net worth, invested in 90+ companies) and asked him: if he had to start over with nothing today, where would he go looking for his first million and his next $100 million: 5 things that stood out: 1. He judges every business by what he calls the "back of house" - the parts customers never see. At his own properties he skips the lobby and checks the fire escapes and the maintenance shop. In the home service companies he owns, he says he can predict which crews will hit their numbers just by opening the doors of their vans. If the parts nobody's grading are clean and organized, the rest of the business usually is too. 2. He kept coming back to HVAC and electrical companies. The US is short 2 million electricians, and they're already making close to $200,000 a year. Most of the owners running these businesses are pushing 70 with no kids willing to take over, meaning the entire industry is sitting there waiting for someone to show up and take it. He sees this as today's most underexploited asset class, the same way campus housing was decades ago. 3. His filter for people is whether he can trust them to deliver. He says you can't do a deal with someone dishonest and expect that to change once you're partners. But he also told a story on himself: at 24, he walked away from a good deal purely because the seller was rude and condescending, not because the guy was untrustworthy. He lost the property to someone else, and his own partner called him out for it. Being an asshole and being untrustworthy are two different problems, and only one of them should be the reason you kill a deal. 4. Before he backs anyone, he asks himself this question: if this deal fails, would I do a second deal with this same person? He's backed several founders two or three times after a loss, because the failure came down to timing, not character. He'd also rather fund someone who's an 8 in intelligence with a 10 in work ethic than the reverse. 5. He runs the same test on people already working for him. His rule: bad news doesn't get better with time. He wants managers who lead with what's going wrong before what's going right, and it bothers him whenever he loses a customer, a tenant, a season ticket holder, without knowing exactly why beforehand. Thank you David Adelman for coming on the pod. Didn't even get through half my questions, so be ready for part two. Full episode is up on youtube. Search "BigDeal pod" to watch.

🎥 DJ Akademiks Weighs In On Netflix’s New Diddy Documentary “The Reckoning” Produced by 50 Cent. Ak also goes over if 50 Cent is Sending A Warning To Jay Z That He Could Be Next ❓👀 The other night, Akademiks spoke on the now released Netflix doc and didn’t hold back. Here’s the breakdown: 🔹 Ak says Netflix is being “sheisty.” According to him, Netflix wanted this documentary badly and intentionally chose 50 Cent as the face so he’d take the heat for the controversy surrounding its creation. 🔹 The footage itself is questionable. Ak explains the documentary features Diddy’s own private footage video recorded by his team in the weeks leading up to his arrest. Diddy’s camp claims the footage was stolen and used unethically, yet Netflix still moved forward. 🔹 Why 50 Cent? Ak thinks it was strategic. He says Netflix needed a “villain” or a bold public figure to absorb the backlash, and 50 is perfect for that role. Plus, Ak points out a conflict of interest: 50’s child’s mother is one of the alleged victims, making it impossible for him to present a “neutral” documentary. 🔹 Netflix chose 50 over multiple bidders. Ak suggests the platform made that decision knowing 50 would be willing to go further than others and willing to be the face of the controversy. 🔹 Ak warns Jay-Z might be next. He mentions 50 even posted an alleged message from Jay-Z reacting to not being in the doc. With the documentary dropping two days before Jay-Z’s birthday, Ak believes 50 is sending a message and that Hov should “have a war chest ready” because 50 is clearly lining things up. 🔹 Ak’s final point: Diddy is already “down bad,” and 50 is stomping him out publicly but Ak believes 50 is also “looking over” at Jay-Z next.

Jamie Dimon just asked Elon Musk why he's taking SpaceX public after a decade of saying no. The answer is very Musky and MIND BLOWING: "I've been asked for many years about taking SpaceX public. Probably been almost ten years that people have been suggesting I should." "We've been positive cash flow for quite a long time. I think since around 2014, 2015. And we've been self-funding. In fact, our private equity rounds have actually not been fundraising rounds. They've been liquidity rounds for investors and employees. SpaceX has actually bought back stock in most of our funding events." So why now? "We are embarking on a significant growth phase, a capital growth phase, where we are going to put in orbit probably over a hundred thousand satellites just for communications." "Version 3 is ten to twenty times more capable than the Version 2 satellite. It's a hundred times more bandwidth than the Starlink system currently offers and half the latency." Then Dimon asked about AI. And this is where it went somewhere nobody in the room expected... "The peak bandwidth of a human is a few hundred bits per second. But bandwidth of a computer can be a trillion bits per second. The appetite for bandwidth of AI and robots is gonna be enormous." "We're also doing the AI data centres in space. Which is another massive capital endeavour." Then it started to sound like something straight out of a sci-fi film: "It's increasingly difficult to build power plants on the ground. There are very few people who want a power plant in their backyard. If we wanted to double the electricity usage of the United States, which is on average about 500 gigawatts, we would have to build about twice as many power plants. Most communities are not super excited about that." "But if we go to space, we can go far beyond the electricity generation of Earth." "This is gonna sound crazy, but you could actually increase harnessed energy by a factor of a million and still be using much less than a millionth of the Sun's energy." Sorry, but this is HUGE. The SpaceX IPO hits next week and is expected to make Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. He is SpaceX. He is Tesla. He is Neuralink, xAI, The Boring Company, and the owner of X. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because he is one of the most powerful personal brands the world has ever seen. Every company he touches gets amplified by the fact that the world already knows his name, his face, and his vision before he says a single word. That is the compounding effect of a personal brand built over two decades. SO: We build massive distribution and grow personal brands on X and beyond without our clients lifting a finger. If you're a founder or VC looking for that kind of exposure, book a call below. We average 1.5M views a week and have brought in over $5 million in attributable revenue for our clients.

What would you have done if you were in her shoes?👀🤔 “Imagine your phone went bad and to fix your phone is over 450k and then you told the person you were dating because your phone is your only source of income and he was like he does not have any money at the moment that he will give you the money next two weeks and you told him that you cannot be without your phone for two weeks that even if he has half of the money he can give you so you can be able to rally round and get the money because you have a lot of pending deals to deliver on the phone,and he insisted he doesn’t have anything to give you not even 10k. So you were able to rally round and repair your phone then during this period your partner who’s suppose to get married to you travelled to Abuja for a work then after you were able to fix your phone he came back and call you that you should come over then when you get his place, you noticed that he came back with two suitcase and because he travelled with only one. When you opened the new suitcase because he was trying to sort out the things that he bought and you’re seeing designer things and you’re just hailing him that the things he bought are looking fine o and he casually said that the purse you’re holding his 1.5million so when you did your calculations you noticed that the things he bought was more than 7million naira, and this was the same person you asked for 450k or even half of the money so that you can get your phone repaired and he said he doesn’t have any money. You got offended but you locked up then after like two days you asked him about the money that you borrowed money and you need to pay the people back and he started with his normal tales that he has no money and you said that okay no problem then you went back to your house. During the weekend normally you go to your babes house so when you got to his place he told you there was no soup or stew that you need to cook so you gave him a list and there is a drawer beside you then you opened it,you saw bundle of cash in the drawer and with a rough estimate you were about to count his up to 400k and when you told him about the amount for the food he didn’t even price it, he just gave you the money. After cooking for him th en you reminded him about the money you used to repair your phone that even if it is 190k but he told her to hold on that he will give you next week. The next week you called your partner again and he said you should wait till Friday. On Wednesday evening, he called you that his friend is hosting a party and he wants you to go with him and sent you 75 k to get something to wear. At the party your partner was spraying money and getting hyped. He then gave you one bundle that you should spray the celebrant which you did,in your head he was going to give you the money to pay people that you’re owing. Friday comes and he didn’t say anything about it. At that point you were already p!ssed and when he called you raised your voice at him that you don’t mean anything to him then he said you’re disrespectful person and he ended the call. So base on you were angry you also didn’t call and hustle for the money then after like 5 days in your head you already broke up with the guy. After like 5 days your partner called you and asked where are you? that he’s coming to your house and you told him that he should not come to your house, he opened the message but didn’t respond then he came knocking at your door after a while you opened for him and he was acting like everything is okay asking how are you then you tried explaining he just kept apologizing. So now you’re confuse, you’re contemplating ‘are you going to forgive a man that treated you like you mean nothing to him or just understood that period was rough for him —- Lady shares a story asking for advice😕🤔

#ProvamedxWilliam #WilliamEst 🎸: To be honest, we don’t really know our limits, because sometimes we wake up the next day and we’re completely unable to function. But there’s still a pattern we can kind of catch—this happens a lot during filming periods. It really happens very often. Because now we’re filming two series at the same time, it’s actually quite difficult to manage our daily routines. For example, in a week there are seven days, right? We might already be out filming four or five days. When you’re shooting two projects at once, even reading scripts becomes hard. Like, we just finished an event at night, and we still have to read scripts first, because the next day we need to wake up at 5 a.m. to go to set. It slowly becomes a daily habit. 🎸: We’re both very tired, because we’re working on the same set of projects—two series, Peach and Me, right, and You Maniac. We’re filming both together, so we understand each other and can really feel what the other is going through since we’re on the same production. We also share updates with each other, like “how are you doing?” and things like that. Because we’re both exhausted, we just think, okay, since it’s like this, let’s give ourselves some time. The trip itself wasn’t packed at all. It was basically like: okay, we go eat at the restaurant we already booked, and then we go… MC: Who was the first to suggest this trip? 🎸: Phi Est. It was Phi Est. When he has free time, his mindset is a bit different from mine. When he’s free, he likes to travel, while I prefer to sleep. So he was the one who first came up with the idea. He basically presented a plan to us, like “does this work?” Then he’d say we’re going to take a boat tour, go here, go there, and so on. He basically planned the whole itinerary in detail. MC: Can you really switch out of that heavy, exhausted state and detach properly? 🎸: Yes, we can. Because it feels like we finally have time to breathe again—a deep breath into the lungs. So I just lay by the sea, let the boat carry us, and look at the sky. That was honestly one of the most satisfying moments of my life, because I felt like that alone was enough. MC: Because your travel styles are similar—he and you like the same kind of travel. 🎸: The style is similar, but he’s a bit more adventurous. Phi Est would go surfing and things like that, right? But this time he didn’t surf. We were both tired, so he mostly focused on taking photos, while I just immersed myself in the atmosphere, looking at the sky and letting my thoughts wander. MC: He just stayed quiet. 🎸: Yeah, that was enough. MC: So how did you divide responsibilities on this trip? What did he do, and what did you do? 🎸: Have you seen that meme? Like, he handles planning the trip, booking restaurants, arranging everything, while I just do the “good morning, good night” part. He basically took care of everything. MC: So you just followed the schedule he already arranged. 🎸: Yes. MC: How can we be sure he won’t make mistakes in planning, that what he arranges is actually the best option? 🎸: I think he understands what I want better. Our tastes are actually quite similar. 🎸: He already arranged everything very well. Even things like booking the car—he handled it and drove it himself. Honestly, it made me feel like I just wanted to applaud him. It was really well done. MC: So you feel both admiration and pride. 🎸: If we did it ourselves, we’d probably just end up taking a small car. For example, if there were a lot of suitcases, he would handle it properly—like choosing the right size car, figuring out how to store the luggage, even things like folding the seats down. He’s very professional about all of that. But me, if I saw a supercar available for rent, I’d probably just want to rent it without thinking at all about where the luggage would go. I’m just like that. So it’s better to let him handle the planning.

MC: Because your travel styles are similar—he and you like the same kind of travel. 🎸: The style is similar, but he’s a bit more adventurous. Phi Est would go surfing and things like that, right? But this time he didn’t surf. We were both tired, so he mostly focused on taking photos, while I just immersed myself in the atmosphere, looking at the sky and letting my thoughts wander. MC: He just stayed quiet. 🎸: Yeah, that was enough. MC: So how did you divide responsibilities on this trip? What did he do, and what did you do? 🎸: Have you seen that meme? Like, he handles planning the trip, booking restaurants, arranging everything, while I just do the “good morning, good night” part. He basically took care of everything. MC: So you just followed the schedule he already arranged. 🎸: Yes. MC: How can we be sure he won’t make mistakes in planning, that what he arranges is actually the best option? 🎸: I think he understands what I want better. Our tastes are actually quite similar. 🎸: He already arranged everything very well. Even things like booking the car—he handled it and drove it himself. Honestly, it made me feel like I just wanted to applaud him. It was really well done. MC: So you feel both admiration and pride. 🎸: If we did it ourselves, we’d probably just end up taking a small car. For example, if there were a lot of suitcases, he would handle it properly—like choosing the right size car, figuring out how to store the luggage, even things like folding the seats down. He’s very professional about all of that. But me, if I saw a supercar available for rent, I’d probably just want to rent it without thinking at all about where the luggage would go. I’m just like that. So it’s better to let him handle the planning.

In a world filled with expectations of perfection, the story of Poundcake and Milkshake emerges as a gentle yet profound reminder: sometimes, the only thing a living being needs is not pity, but simply a chance to be loved in the right way. These two deaf dogs not only found their forever home, but also offered a valuable lesson about compassion and the extraordinary power of unconditional acceptance. James Coburn had once been firmly against having a dog. He and his wife, Leah, lived an active life, enjoying exploring the ocean, paddleboarding, and travelling from place to place. He worried that having a dog would tie them down and prevent them from enjoying their freedom. Then, one night, an image of Poundcake appeared on an adoption website. He was only eight months old, a deaf male dog from Texas who was waiting at a rescue shelter in Rhode Island. His tail had once been broken, and he had become accustomed to being abandoned. James submitted an application immediately, before he had even had a chance to tell his wife. He could not bear the thought that a small creature who could never understand where he was or where he would go next might have to keep facing uncertainty simply because he could not hear the sounds of the world. Poundcake came home, and everything changed. His family taught him to communicate through sign language. He became confident and happy, bringing an unexpected sense of joy into their lives. But then his close friend Dunkin moved away. Poundcake would sit by the window for hours, looking sad. At the dog park, he was often left behind because he could not hear the other dogs running off. Loneliness gradually began to find its way into his life. His family realised that Poundcake needed a companion who could understand the way he played and the way he experienced the world in silence. They decided to drive through the night for nearly 800 kilometres to bring Milkshake home. This female American Pit Bull had also been deaf since birth and had spent three long years waiting within the rescue system. She had once been placed in a programme working with inmates but was not considered a good fit. After that, she moved from one shelter and foster home to another. No one wanted to adopt her because she was “different”. When Milkshake entered her new home, she and Poundcake became friends almost immediately. They played together, slept beside each other, and did everything together. The only small moments of friction came when Milkshake wanted to keep playing while Poundcake wanted to rest. Both dogs learned to communicate with their owners through signs and gradually became an inseparable part of the family. This story is not simply about two dogs. It reveals a painful truth: living beings with differences, whether they are deaf, blind, elderly, or members of breeds burdened by prejudice, are often overlooked or even abandoned simply because they do not fit the image of “perfection” that many people expect. James once admitted that he was afraid of the responsibility and worried that he would not be capable of being a good dog owner. But Poundcake and Milkshake proved otherwise. They did not merely adapt to their new life; they encouraged their family to become more active, spend more time outdoors, and love more deeply. James and Leah’s acceptance transformed what others might have considered “flaws” into gifts. The two deaf dogs did not need words to express their affection. They used their eyes, gentle touches, and unwavering loyalty. Compassion here is not a fleeting feeling of pity. It is a conscious choice: seeing beyond differences and still opening your arms. The power of acceptance lies in the fact that it can heal both sides. Poundcake and Milkshake had grown accustomed to being abandoned, but now they knew what it meant to be loved. James had once believed he could never become a good dog owner, yet now he calls them his very soul. Their story reaches far beyond that little home. It reminds us how many people and living beings in society may still be waiting for a similar opportunity not to become perfect, but simply to live fully as they are. Poundcake and Milkshake only needed one chance. And when that chance was given at the right time and in the right way, it created a family filled with quiet laughter and a love that needed no words. Perhaps the greatest lesson is this: difference should never be a reason to turn someone away. Sometimes, all it takes is opening our hearts a little wider, and we may receive far more than we ever imagined 💗✨

Analyzing Episode 55. Season 2 aka The Violence of Alignment If I visualize CihAl's journey for this season, a spiral tightening its rings comes to mind. There's always one problem after another, spiking in intensity and reaction. And, the weight of it is reflected in both Alya's increasingly somber demeanor. But, here's the thing. In every new problem, there's an echo of the old one, which leaves one with an inevitable feeling of deja vu - for the audience and the characters. We'll get to why towards the end of this analysis. For now, on we go. We kick off epi 55 with Cihan being introduced to Meryem *cough* dishrag *cough* by Sadakat. And what follows is a breakdown of her story with Cihan listening. However, when Meryem recounted her past woes, I focused less on her words and more on Cihan's words and expression. And what follows is a masterclass in the difference between sympathy and empathy. Kudos to Ozan Akbaba for portraying the difference. I couldn't help but compare the situation to when Cihan is listening to Alya's account of her past. With Alya, Cihan leans forward, barely moving. He listens, but his face tends to reflect his own emotion and mirrors Alya's at times - in other words, he's living those events with her. When he talks, his voice drops lower, but more importantly, there's a gentle softness meant to soothe. With Meryem, Cihan's body language is a tad more detached. When he's leaning forward in the seat, his hands are extended in front of him, clasped together, creating space. Then he leans back, one arm extended on the table, the other on his thigh. Again, there's this feel of distance. His voice remains soft, but there's no tenderness. He's not trying to alleviate, rather he's simply listening. Don't get me wrong, it's not like the guy doesn't feel bad for her, because what she relates shouldn't be experienced by anyone. But empathy goes beyond sympathy. Empathy is when you hurt with the one who's hurting. And that difference, to me, is clear between the two scenes. Long story short, when he's heard what Meryem's gone through, he offers to help get her out of prison because he feels responsible in part for her misfortunes. He says it's his 'duty' to help her. Here's what's interesting: when Meryem says his kindness and heart haven't changed, he gets uncomfortable. And after that, he's the one to get up from the chair, signaling the end of the conversation. Like he wants to get out of there, because some part of him that's not stupidly male understands Meryem's still attached to him, but he has no interest in that whatsoever. His method of saying goodbye is a handshake, again, a testament to his aloofness. And when Meryem hugs him, his hands remain at their sides; the man could have been a pillar. So, while he speaks not of Alya, the one time he takes her name, he drives the message across that 'she's no one ordinary' and 'tread carefully'. Honestly, I don't think he wants to talk about Alya to Meryem. Not because Alya's not important, but because Alya is too important. The part of his life that Alya represents is his alone, and he's very possessive about sharing that with anyone. To him, Meryem is a past that exists, but one that he would erase if he had the choice, because it hurts Alya. And that's pretty much the whole feel of this conversation. He wants to help Meryem, but he also wants her gone because her presence is a source of discomfort to Alya. Speaking of discomforts, the next scene I want to talk about is when the massive turd, who happens to be Alya's ex-husband, goes to the hospital to threaten her some more. Seriously, this character is a step short of absolute psycho. He's incapable of true emotion, just like his mother. Anyway, when Alya is explaining why she hasn't moved out yet, the zombie's eyes zero in on her wedding band. And, of course, being who he is, he absolutely ignores the topic of Deniz, his own flesh and blood, and instead, wants the ring gone because it symbolizes Alya's love and attachment to Cihan. Thankfully, Cihan arrives in time to push away the zombie and to hear Alya proclaim that while Boran has the power to use her son and distance her from Cihan physically, he has no power over her heart and who reigns over it. Now, think back to that conversation where Deniz wants her to pick between Cihan and himself. And Cihan says Deniz's throne (or place) in her heart is so secure, he's happy to live in the shadow of that throne. While Alya smiles at Cihan's response, she also looks miserable later at the thought of not being able to tell Cihan that things aren't exactly so. However, I think she manages to get her point across in this scene without even realizing it. Because while she may make sacrifices for her son, no amount of blackmail, pain, or hurt can remove Cihan's love from her heart. Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds almost like an equal footing. The only difference is that she's bound to protect her son, because, unlike Cihan, he can't protect himself. And that's what leads Cihan to later tell Alya that her words are etched across his heart, and that he's never felt that loved by anyone. Curiously enough, this scene also brings the spotlight on two other details: Alya's 'anka' side and the wedding ring. Both of which will feature rather greatly, in the coming episodes, I think. Now, there's a rumor going around that Alya will take off her wedding ring. And, I don't know, the fact that Cihan's almost preening at Alya, still wearing the ring, and Alya saying 'I couldn't take it off' tells me that's not what's going to happen. For some reason, I'm beginning to get the vibes of a showdown of trust in the same vein as episode 27. Now you may argue that Cihan actually tells Alya about Mine's pregnancy in that episode, but CihAl have had a long journey since then. Alya has seen Cihan choose her over Boran with her own eyes. She's seen the lengths the man has gone to for her and Deniz. So, yes, she might be pissed about something or the other related to Meryem in future episodes, but her taking off the ring seems not within her character somehow. But hey, that's just me, and I could be wrong. Anyway, the final scene I want to talk about is, of course, the ending. Everyone kept focusing on why Cihan allowed Meryem to hold his hands, but I focused on his words. Because he very clearly tells Meryem that he's no longer in love with her, that he's moved on, and that she should not hang about in the hopes of that ever changing. In his own way, Cihan is quite ruthless here. He draws a line, but his words are designed not to hurt, because he's not an ahole. He just wants dishrag to understand that even the thought of Alya being hurt pains him more now than anything else. And, he's not very kind to people who try to hurt Alya. It's a disclosure and warning, but in the form of steel wrapped in satin. Now, let's go back to the beginning for a bit, where I mentioned spiraling events. See, I somehow thought that those vows Cihal took 'savaşta, bedelde, kararda, kaderde, aşkta' were linear levels. That they'd clear them one by one and get to love. But when you see the overall structure of their journey in this season, it's not linear at all. Because all those things have existed in one form or another since ep 29. There's always an element of all of these conditions in every episode. Which is why we keep thinking, wait a minute, we've been here before. But as I said, the spiral is tightening itself. With every episode, the stakes are raised higher, and CihAl are pushed a little bit closer to the edge. Almost like the deep breath before the plunge. And here’s where things get interesting. Because what feels like repetition is not actually stagnation, it’s confrontation deferred, coming back sharper each time. Every cycle brings them back to the same point. Their love deepens, fear follows, a decision is made in the name of protection, and that decision creates distance instead of resolution. Which brings me back to the vows - savaşta, bedelde, kararda, kaderde, aşkta. I was wrong to think of them as steps. They’re not something Cihan and Alya are moving towards; they’re something CihAl are already inside of. Every episode is them living those vows in real time. But with every new episode, the pressure mounts, like music builds to a crescendo. And yet, within all of that, aşk remains. Not as a reward at the end of the journey. But as the one thing that refuses to disappear, no matter how many times everything else goes wrong. And maybe that's why episode 55 feels the way it does. It creates the illusion that everything is falling apart, yet again, when in reality, everything is being forced into alignment. Something is moving all the pieces on the chessboard for an ultimate showdown. And the process gets more violent by the minute. Cihan hides the truth because he thinks love needs protection. Alya experiences that same act as distance, almost betrayal. Meanwhile, Boran and Sadakat keep pushing, and Meryem drops like a freaking bomb at the worst possible moment. Suddenly, everything that could have remained unsaid, unresolved, or postponed is dragged into the open. This has all the hallmarks of a breaking point. Note, I said breaking point, not breakdown. Because, unlike breakdowns, breaking points are used for revelations. I guess what I'm trying to say is things are headed towards alignment, not just for the overall story, but also CihAl's journey individually. Because Cihan and Alya also keep repeating their mistakes. Their growth requires something along the lines of a push, too. So, we have war, sacrifice, decisions, fate, and love, all coming to a head. And while there are plenty of reasons to feel ominous, I personally don't. The story is no longer about them loving each other - we're well past that. It’s about whether they can finally stand in that love openly and without any fear. Because everything is pushing them toward a breaking point, not to destroy them, I think, but to shape them into who they need to be. And if there’s one thing CihAl have proven since day one, it’s this - they don’t fall apart under pressure, they grow stronger, and they survive the impossible. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

[trans] #DaraDaily YT 🧑🏻‍🦱: I gotta say this person practically lives on a plane! ✈️🥹He spends just a few days in Thailand and then he's off to another country. Most recently, just yesterday, Win traveled to attend #Prada event in Shenzhen, China as a brand ambassador for Prada, representing Thailand with his handsome looks. Here he is, our Win! His aura is incredibly strong. He looks so handsome in this total look and it just makes your heart melt. Sharp, polished, and very stylish. For this look, you've just got to give it to him coz he’s truly handsome, exceptionally handsome. His handsomeness is just shining, you could say. 🥹😄✨ His aura is dazzlingly radiant. For his attendance this time, fans were there waiting to support him in crowds. Just as he stepped down from the car, the screams from fans were incredibly loud, welcoming him warmly. Seeing this makes me feel so proud of him. Win is truly photogenic and looked stunning in front of camera lenses 📸 He stood alongside many top Chinese superstars, and his presence was definitely not overshadowed. Here he is, Win standing next to top superstars. Fans were there to welcome him, they were waving, and people were cheering him on, creating a wonderful atmosphere. 💚 There’s also a lovely moment where Win is chatting and greeting Li Xian. It seems like the two of them got along really well and had a great conversation. Look at that, two handsome guys meeting each other. You could say the Thai guy is handsome, and the Chinese superstar is handsome too. It's like a frame full of handsome men, a godly visual combination, right? 👩🏻: Yes, yes 👍🏻 🧑🏻‍🦱: I have to admit seeing them, they are both truly handsome. Win is one of the top figures from Thailand who, wherever he appears, makes fans proud because he is both handsome and talented. Let's give him a round of applause!

This development in Bryanston, Johannesburg, has broken ground, and 124 new apartments are on their way👏 This building was the old office of Fidelity. The developer approached the building owner circa 2020 to embark on a joint venture and transform the empty office building into a stylish apartment block in Bryanston, one of the more established suburbs in Sandton. I got the opportunity to walk the site with the developer himself and take a tour of what is to come. They have plans to go up five levels on the current build, which should provide apartment owners with the best views of the West Rand (especially in spring when the view will transform into a sea of purple jacarandas in bloom). Quick facts about 170 Grosvenor •⁠ ⁠Pet-friendly •⁠ ⁠Developer: Merelava •⁠ ⁠Architect: LYT Architecture •⁠ ⁠Completion date: November 2026 •⁠ ⁠Apartment size range: 33m2 - 155m2 •⁠ ⁠Apartments: 124 (101 units already SOLD) •⁠ ⁠Apartment price range: R585 000 - R2 690 000 •⁠ ⁠Location: 170 Grosvenor, Bryanston, Sandton, Gauteng •⁠ ⁠Apartment types: studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and four penthouses (2 penthouses are already SOLD). •⁠ ⁠Amenities: coffee bar, co-working space, laundromat, nail salon, and social area with swimming pool. They already hit their sales target earlier this year, and construction has commenced. You don’t easily find apartment blocks in the large, leafy suburb of Bryanston, so this is something different compared to the large homes with high walls. Properties generally experience a capital growth rate of 5% per year in this area. These units would be ideal for young professionals and investors seeking to generate income from short-term rentals. I particularly appreciate the developer’s choice in durable finishes. If your investor is unlikely ever to step foot in this apartment, it’s reassuring to know that you will not have to replace fittings and fixtures regularly. I am such a big fan of the developer, Tabane Ramasala. He has an inspiring founder’s story, and watching him slowly but surely develop quality real estate projects in both Johannesburg and Cape Town has been exciting to witness. I'm really looking forward to watching this construction site transform over the next few months.

A teeny tiny notice before I proceed with my analysis. If you have a problem with either Cihan or Alya, don't bother reading. Because I don't take sides. I don't watch or think or write through the lens of Alya vs Cihan. Both characters are dear to me. And, if that's the way you roll, by all means, proceed. Analyzing Episode 36. Season 2 aka Of Strengths, Weaknesses, and The Last Nail in the Coffin Evvveeettt. Another episode, another meltdown. Just another day in the CihAl fandom. Ngl, it took me two days to even think about writing my regular analysis post, because the negativity was more potent than usual. Or maybe my resistance is waning, who knows? But that's not what we're gonna focus on today. This day, we analyze the words and actions of the heart and soul of Uzak Sehir, aka Alya and Cihan Albora. But we'll do so within the framework of strengths and weaknesses, because to me, that's what really comes to the fore in ep36. Alya Albora Alya Albora was especially heartbreaking this episode. And coming from someone who gets their heartbroken regularly because of Alya, that's saying something. The episode starts with the zombie-man opening his eyes (I think this PoS is just lying there pretending to be a vegetable, but that's for another time). And the look Alya has on her face when she looks at Cihan is indescribable. Almost as if everything inside her is pleading, 'Please don't regress back to where we just came from.' Because she fears, even as she tries to check on the zombie, that the closer Frankenboran gets to waking up, the further Cihan will drift from her. And, to an extent, her fears are proven right when Sadakat brings up divorce again. See, Alya doesn't come from strong family roots. She believes her biological mother abandoned her for most of her adult life. Then she has Caroline, who tries to fill all the empty spaces abandonment leaves in little Alya, but doesn't manage to succeed too much. As I've said before, Alya's primary fears stem from being abandoned and being a burden. That's what she tries to protect herself from. Those walls around her heart are in place to keep her from suffering that same pain again. That's both her strength and her weakness. While the fear pushes Alya to love harder, to push past difficulties, to rise from the ashes over and over, it also makes her more aloof. She doesn't find it as difficult as Cihan to leave behind 'family' ties because she's never experienced just how forceful those bonds can be. When it falls to her to choose between her love for Cihan and whatever she had with Boran, she picks the former without much guilt. But there's another factor that helps keep her from feeling much remorse for Boran, and that's the way her former husband treats her. Before Alya finds out about the will, her anger at Cihan is at an all-time high, and there's no question of any relationship developing between the two. After the will, however, that's a different story. So, when it falls to her to choose, she can do so easily, with her conscience at rest. And we see that so clearly in the way she announces she won't return to Boran even when he wakes up. Now, let's focus on the tricky bit. The weaknesses. Because Alya fears being a burden, being imposed on someone, adding to their strain, anything other than clarity can't help but raise doubts. When Cihan doesn't answer her question of 'Where will you stand?' with a clear with you or with you, distrust raises its ugly head. She starts asking herself if their relationship is what Cihan really wants now that Boran is back in the picture. She starts wondering whether Cihan will be able to shoulder the burden their relationship will add to his already weighed-down shoulders. It's harrowing to watch her be drawn to Cihan one instant, and pull back the next. Not because she doesn't love him, but because she can't bear to be another weight on Cihan's existence. That's what we see when she's shivering with fever. She wants him close, but she also doesn't want him to suffer. She keeps asking Cihan to leave, but he refuses to budge. And, that cures and hurts at the same time. For some reason, when she says, 'I'm also trying to find a way,' I couldn't help but feel that a part of her is already reverting back to the old Alya. The longer Cihan refrains from giving Alya a clear answer, the more her doubts grow. The more their 'impossibility' takes over her love. The closer she grows to wanting to leave. This time, if she attempts to leave, it won't be because her feelings overwhelm her. It'll be because she can't bear to see Cihan hurt anymore. Cihan Albora Oh boy. I can already hear the jeers of 'coward' and 'gavat' (which, by the way, I find to be a really ugly word) ringing in my ears. Well, fcuk that. Let's get back to our analysis. I talked about how Cihan seems to be stuck between suppression and surrender when it comes to his guilt. And, I did think that almost losing Alya would break that spell. But, clearly, that's not the road that Gulizar wants to take. Perhaps she does want it to come down to conflict. I'm not sure yet. What I am sure of is that Cihan is already aware of what he wants. And it's not wanting to be BFFs with Boran at the expense of Alya, guilt be damned. You can see it in the way his answers get bolder every time Sadakat asks him about a divorce. This episode is the first time Cihan states outright that the burden of 'conscience' isn't his to bear because he merely did what Boran asked of him. In other words, he didn't plan on falling in love with Alya, but it happened, and if there's any blame in that, it's not on him or Alya. Here's what irks most people. He doesn't ever talk about what he wants. It's always 'What if Boran wants this' or 'What if Boran wants that.' In other words, it's a form of misdirection on his part. He knows what's in his heart, but he doesn't want to say it out loud. Another scene where you can clearly see what his choice will be is when he's taking care of Alya during her fever. The more Alya insists that he leave, the more he digs in his heels. Until finally, he says, 'I won't allow anyone to hurt you, I won't allow anyone to harm you, and that's how it will be until I draw my last breath.' People don't say things like. 'That's how it'll be as long as I live,' if they're not sure about what they want. This is Cihan's strength. His love, protective instincts, and his code of sticking up for the people he loves. Unfortunately, like Alya, that's also his weakness. Cihan's been trained to fight for his family and his people to his very last. And, that's one HUGE reason why he can't verbalize what's already screaming inside his mind and his heart. We know he can't live without Alya, he says as much in the last episode. He keeps buying time because he knows once he states those words - there's no turning back. And he knows exactly how ugly things could go because dealing with ugly has been his entire existence. People won't be kind to him or Alya in the place where they live (think back to how Demir sends his goons to insult Alya's mom). And besides all that, what if Boran doesn't want to let go? That's when shit will truly hit the fan, because once Cihan says he's with Alya, he'll be fighting his brother, standing up to his mother, breaking his family apart, endangering Albora with internal strife, and worst of all, risking Alya and Deniz's safety. And remember, unlike Alya, who can control her conscience because of an extenuating factor, Cihan has no such relief. So, what you see is a man trying to survive an impending hurricane in a straw hut. He knows when that storm hits, and it will, things will go to hell. Besides all that, there is his stupid conscience that just won't shut the hell up because of that code of his. To me, that's not cowardice. That's a man standing at the edge of a life-changing truth, and being undone by the gravity of it. It's almost as if his soul is negotiating with reality, hoping to avoid collateral damage, while grieving for the version of himself he knows won't survive after he states his truth. As we can see in the scene where he and Alya are saying goodbye, they're already a family. His heart has already made the choice, so much so that in that scene, even Sadakat and Nare see the invisible bonds tying Cihan to Alya and vice versa. It's not a question of if, merely when. The Last Nail in the Coffin The question on everyone's mind is, what will it be? The last nail in the coffin of Cihan and Boran's brotherhood. The point of no return. To me, the way things are shaping up, there will be a clash. Will the showdown happen when Boran wakes up, or will Cihan learn the truth about his brother and finally be set free? I don't know. I've always had the inkling that Boran isn't what he claims to be. I guess we'll find out soon. But until then, I'll be watching. Gladly. For both my babies. Till next time, happy reading, y'all. #CihAl #UzakŞehir

The Idea of NHI on Earth. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🔥"The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified." ~Dr. Phil 🔥 "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious?" ~BZ to Dr. Phil (I'm so glad Bryce went there.) "There will be people...who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening." ~Mellon ~ Dr. Phil: "We know in the last 80 years there have been no overt hostile acts that we know about. That doesn't mean there could be things happening that are attributable to these forces that we don't know about. But, we certainly don't have any attacks that we can attribute to these UAPs or whatever." (Well, there's Colares in 1977. If that was non-human in nature, I'd say that qualifies as overt. And the Thomas Mantell incident in 1948 where he crashed and died after pursuing a UFO. Was that overt? Unfortunately, we don't know what happened and probably never will.) Dr. Phil: "And if the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, I think people can take some comfort in knowing that if they were gonna melt us with a ray gun or something of that nature, they've had ample opportunity to do that. "They may have been here 1000 years before we were here. Who knows what the situation is? But we do know that as long as we've been monitoring this and tracking it, there have been no overt hostile acts and I think people can take some comfort in that, and should." (See the work of Peter Levenda for a deeper look at that. "They might have been attacking us for centuries already, in ways that make sense to them... What if they are attacking us through the manipulation of consciousness? ~Peter Levenda More... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ~ (I'm glad Bryce pushed back a bit.) Bryce Zabel: "They should. The only thing I would say is, if we're dealing with a non-human intelligence - or an NHI, as we like to say now - we'd have to assume that they think differently than us. So even in our own world, in the United States, we tend to think in four-year terms because of presidential terms, right? So you can't get something off the ground if it can't get done right away. The Chinese may think in 100-year terms when they think about Taiwan or whatever. "It's possible there are alien or non-human intelligences that think in a different time frame. If their time frame was 1000 years, then they could just be getting started. "And on the topic of the nuclear issue, which I share concern of. I mean, I think the nuclear issue means it is at least a national-security issue of some kind. Now, I've heard people talk about this, Dr. Phil, two different ways. Some people say, 'Well, you know, they're looking at our nuclear capabilities because they want to protect us from ourselves.' "Okay, that's great, I hope that's true. But the other would be: what do you do before you actually go to war with anybody, is you do reconnaissance. You try to find out what the other guy has. What are their assets? What are their capabilities?" (That may freak out some people but all angles should be considered.) Zabel: "So, I think the problem that we need to overcome in this country is getting to a place where we understand this phenomenon that we're encountering enough that we can at least start to figure out intent. What is the intent? "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious? What is it? And so, we got a lot of work to do, and I think that's why I am so supportive of your current efforts because you're, basically, saying, 'Let's get started, people. Let's really take this seriously. Let's quit fooling around and stigmatizing people that want to take it seriously, and let's get to work.' But let's get to work as a human race. Let's start sharing what we know and let's make progress. That's where I'm coming from, too." (Bringing up abductions is important because it IS part of this discussion and it shouldn't be avoided. Kudos to Bryce!) Dr. Phil: "I saw a study that said 71% of Americans believe that there are aliens that have been or are in our earthly space. And it's interesting...I read that in one context, it said, 'Look, this is not going to be such a big deal if this gets verified.' "You know, there's one thing to say that in the abstract, like, 'Yeah, I think yeah probably there are.' It's a whole other different situation if you turn around and see somebody standing there. The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified. (100%. That's my favorite part of the interview and it's so true.) Dr. Phil: "And I hope that we are going to put enough context around this, particularly knowing that there are segments of our population that are very vulnerable. There are some elderly folks that aren't up on technology and might be overwhelmed by the reality of this. "We have certain populations that might be easily disoriented or destabilized in the mental emotional fringes of the population. And I worry about those that are easily exploitable. You know, you need to get out of the urban areas, buy our buried school bus in the mountains, and you'll be safe forever. You know the con artists and the scammers are going to find every opportunity to prey upon those that are concerned and worried about this. "And I think we need to be prepared to take care of those that might be destabilized by this information that's coming out right now, we can't pretend they aren't there. We've made those mistakes in the past, like during COVID, for example. There are those that are more impacted than others, and we need to be prepared to handle that." Christopher K. Mellon: "We, recently, commissioned a study by a group of six psychologists, PhD psychologists, on this topic of how the public would receive this information. And it was generally very encouraging. And what they found was that the great bulk of the population, as they have in the past with other epical changes such as the Copernican principle, or evolution, or general relativity, it takes people a while to process this information. There's a period of resistance. But most people will get up, get out of bed, go to work the next day. They're not devastated, even though there's nothing quite comparable to this, perhaps." (There's no perhaps. A government or respected figure admitting that we're not alone on this planet would be unprecedented and there is NOTHING we can compare it to.) Mellon: "What the study did find is that there is likely, however, to be a subset of people, maybe 15% of the population, that are going to need some help. And that we are not necessarily prepared in our present state to provide that kind of assistance, and we need to be doing more to get ready for that." (If he's talking world population, that's about 1.2 BILLION people who are going to need some help dealing with this. Holy crap. 😬) Mellon: "And also, to work on the messaging. The messaging is so important, clear and consistent messaging from the government, trying to develop trust with the American people so that the information is is accepted and acted on." (For me, I want the whole truth more than the right "message.") Mellon: "A lot of the difference will be people who can't get their head around it, even though they really understand it. But because of their own belief structure, the architecture of their own belief structure, for some reason, in their particular individual case, it's particularly threatening or disruptive. "So there will be people who fall into that category, according to this study, who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening."

The Idea of NHI on Earth. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🔥"The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified." ~Dr. Phil 🔥 "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious?" ~BZ to Dr. Phil (I'm so glad Bryce went there.) "There will be people...who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening." ~Mellon ~ Dr. Phil: "We know in the last 80 years there have been no overt hostile acts that we know about. That doesn't mean there could be things happening that are attributable to these forces that we don't know about. But, we certainly don't have any attacks that we can attribute to these UAPs or whatever." (Well, there's Colares in 1977. If that was non-human in nature, I'd say that qualifies as overt. And the Thomas Mantell incident in 1948 where he crashed and died after pursuing a UFO. Was that overt? Unfortunately, we don't know what happened and probably never will.) Dr. Phil: "And if the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, I think people can take some comfort in knowing that if they were gonna melt us with a ray gun or something of that nature, they've had ample opportunity to do that. "They may have been here 1000 years before we were here. Who knows what the situation is? But we do know that as long as we've been monitoring this and tracking it, there have been no overt hostile acts and I think people can take some comfort in that, and should." (See the work of Peter Levenda for a deeper look at that. "They might have been attacking us for centuries already, in ways that make sense to them... What if they are attacking us through the manipulation of consciousness? ~Peter Levenda More... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ~ (I'm glad Bryce pushed back a bit.) Bryce Zabel: "They should. The only thing I would say is, if we're dealing with a non-human intelligence - or an NHI, as we like to say now - we'd have to assume that they think differently than us. So even in our own world, in the United States, we tend to think in four-year terms because of presidential terms, right? So you can't get something off the ground if it can't get done right away. The Chinese may think in 100-year terms when they think about Taiwan or whatever. "It's possible there are alien or non-human intelligences that think in a different time frame. If their time frame was 1000 years, then they could just be getting started. "And on the topic of the nuclear issue, which I share concern of. I mean, I think the nuclear issue means it is at least a national-security issue of some kind. Now, I've heard people talk about this, Dr. Phil, two different ways. Some people say, 'Well, you know, they're looking at our nuclear capabilities because they want to protect us from ourselves.' "Okay, that's great, I hope that's true. But the other would be: what do you do before you actually go to war with anybody, is you do reconnaissance. You try to find out what the other guy has. What are their assets? What are their capabilities?" (That may freak out some people but all angles should be considered.)
