First, the Dasha context everyone is missing.
India is in Mars Mahadasha (Sep 2025–2032). Mars rules India's 7th house (open enemies, wars) AND the 12th house (foreign losses, secret enemies) for Taurus lagna.
This makes Mars a Maraka planet -a planet of endings and forced transformations.
Now layer the three transits onto that. The result is not subtle.

The planetary setup for Jun 2027–Feb 2028:
Rahu in Capricorn India's 9H (foreign policy)
Jupiter exalted in Cancer India's 3H (natal Sun+Moon+Venus+Mercury+Saturn cluster)
Saturn debilitated in Aries India's 12H
Mars–Jupiter Antardasha running simultaneously
Mars Dasha lord. Jupiter Antardasha lord. Both activated by transit. This is a rare double-trigger.

have a very specific problem
I do not get along well with Romantics, or really any part of the Platonist half of the intellectual landscape
there's an insistence to them on one vision, one Particular Understanding grounded in the certainty of their thymos,
and if you don't agree with them they decide you're some sort of ignorant, and they try to correct you,
or evil, and they try to destroy you,
spurred on by the certainty of justice in their hearts
said vision/understanding is, invariably, an oversimplification,
and depending on their intellect and the matter at hand they'll either shoehorn the entire world into the one box, conceiving epicycles upon epicycles,
or just angrily insist on it and throw out the parts that don't fit
and in so doing they become more rigid, bitter, shallow and static in their thinking,
unstable and immature in their emotion,
and untrustworthy in practice, because they may decide one day that I'm an Enemy and take action to screw me over
the thought of someone deciding I violated some Higher Principle I don't believe in, and thus justifying fucking me over, is my paranoia of choice, so I may be overstating the problem, but it's also actually happened to me more than once.

I am really bad at selectively self-censoring, so I just try not to let these types into my personal life;
when I do have to be around those types I try to default to a reserved, courteous neutrality, or non-engagement if the situation allows.
this put me in a bind:
someone I knew for a while, who I had my disagreements with but respected, and who was the facilitator of an online social space I put a good amount of time and energy into,
metamorphosed, gradually over the course of a few weeks and then suddenly over about 12 hours, into a particularly adolescent brand of Romantic (his word, though obviously my qualifiers),
in an extended period of Claude-catalyzed gnostic mania a couple months back
I tried talking to him directly about my discomfort, but I made the mistake of doing so while still, frankly, angry and afraid that he had hurt and would keep hurting himself, and through my traumata me, so I spoke probably too vehemently for good diplomacy
in response, he threatened to throw me out of the space for not liking the person he had "fought so hard to be" (paraphrase, but a close one)
I explained that I was grateful for the social space he had made and wished to contribute positively to it; from that point, I thought we had achieved a reasonable detente
but I still didn't know how to talk to the new self he'd become without riling myself up,
so I didn't.
because of my introversion (and also spam), my default for people is that they can't DM me
I had of course made an exception for him in the time we were friends, but as that was no longer really true, I returned him to the default
and I didn't engage with anything he said in the space, or anywhere else, either positively or negatively
in my autism I figured that was holding to the terms we had agreed on — I was neutral, then we were friends, and then weren't, and I was returning to neutrality while still engaging positively with the space he had custody over
he read it as an affront, apparently, and a few days ago he threw me out of the space without notice.

when a friend of mine briefly acted as proxy to ask why I'd been thrown out, the answer given was because I didn't like him personally and didn't have DMs open.
nothing about how I was acting in the space itself.
my understanding was that he was acting as custodian of the space because someone had to be admin
as opposed to sovereign over it.
obviously that was, or became, wrong.
I had opened DMs with most (annoyingly not all) of the people I got along well with in that space, so I didn't lose much by way of 1-on-1 connections,
but getting ejected from a group setting without notice is jarring on the best of days, and I really do not like my paranoia being proven right, so that was not a good day for me.

Manhattan attorney Bryan McKenna broke down crying in court as he was sentenced for stealing $4.4 million in a COVID fraud scheme.
He stole the money, from an escrow account, that was supposed to be used to buy 500,000 boxes of medical-grade latex gloves.
He stole the money, from an escrow account, that was supposed to be used to buy 500,000 boxes of medical-grade latex gloves.
He wanted the money to fund a romantic relationship with his then girlfriend Duni Zenaye (CEO of AstZen Group) & to cover personal expenses, including his son's mental health treatment.
Elkay Plastics wired about $4.45 million into McKenna’s escrow account in early 2021
Elkay Plastics wired about $4.45 million into McKenna’s escrow account in early 2021
so the company could buy PPE during the height of the pandemic.
McKenna had agreed to hold the money until the gloves were shipped, but by April 2021, he had spent everything in the account. No gloves were ever delivered.
Assist. District Attorney Jonathan Borle told the court

I know ppl who’ve gotten long COVID, know they have it, are losing their livelihoods & health to it, and STILL arent masking or speaking on it bc of the extreme stigma. Thats why participating in masking matters beyond disease control but also to begin to break this deadly stigma
So much of how ppl view masking is social. If big influencers were masking indoors at least and photo’d masking, if DSA and other orgs were disciplined about like “yeah we make our spaces accessible for disabled ppl, for ppl with long covid” , social image of masking shifts
When a majority of your comrades participate in accessibility and embrace inclusion, it goes from being embarrassing to mask to being embarrassing NOT to mask. You show up and you’re in the minority, now you have the discomfort you felt masking- but going the other way
TAKE: There’s a lot of talk about “peace talks”, but the real question is simpler: what can each side actually accept? Not in theory, but in reality. That’s where deals are made and it’s also where most of them fall apart. 🧵(1/8)
2/ The U.S. position still looks tough on paper: stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions, limit missiles, cut support to proxies, and reopen Hormuz. But taken literally, that is very close to asking Iran to dismantle most of its strategic posture.
3/ Iran’s position is just as rigid in its own way: no surrender of core military capabilities, no humiliation deal, no abandonment of regional influence, and ideally an end to strikes first. That is why Tehran still publicly downplays or denies the talks.

The Pentagon has lied to the American public and the world
"The military strike appears to have destroyed a cattle and dairy farm, not a drug trafficking compound, according to interviews with the farm’s owner, four of its workers, human rights lawyers and residents and leaders in San Martín" nytimes.com/2026/03/24/wor…
Ecuador's US-backed military burned the farm on March 3, after torturing several farmers:
“They tied my hands and feet and then hung me up. They put me in a bucket of water, as long as I could stand it… they kicked me, they hit me with the butt of a gun,” said one farmer
The military returned 3 days later and bombed the farm, which the Pentagon falsely described as a narco training site radiopichincha.com/falsos-positiv…

From @QalaatAlMudiq we have parts of drone wreckage of a OWA UAV that reportedly targeted US forces in Qasrak, Syria several days ago. Iranian backed PMF groups have reportedly been firing drones & missiles from Iraq into Syria. We noticed something peculiar about the wreckage🧵.
First let’s look at the components of the wreckage.
There is a Hobbywing FlyFun HV 130A ESC noted in the photo. The brushless motor most closely resembles a T-MOTOR VL series. The housing that connects to the fuselage is also extremely unique & is similar to some seen elsewhere.

Drone wreckage from 2023 in Ukraine shows an almost identical design for the housing.
Not only is the housing the same but the same ESC appears to have been utilized.
Further, a T-MOTOR VL series brushless motor was utilized in both drones it would appear, but there is more.
