Malignant narcissists crave control not just as a means to an end, but because controlling others makes them feel powerful. It’s not about achieving a goal—it’s about proving they can control. Their fragile ego depends on this, giving them the illusion of superiority. They don’t just want compliance; they enjoy the act of making people submit.

This manifests in ways that are not only disruptive but often deeply destructive. A malignant narcissist may change rules arbitrarily, contradict themselves, or demand things that are impossible just to watch others struggle. They create unnecessary conflict, sabotage progress, and destabilize situations simply because maintaining confusion and disorder keeps them in control. Predictability and stability threaten them because those conditions empower others to think and act independently.

When a malignant narcissist accuses someone of being "controlling" or "demanding," it's often pure projection. They expect full submission, so when someone sets a boundary, asserts themselves, or simply expects basic respect, the narcissist twists it into an act of control or unreasonableness.
This is also where their use of false equivalence comes in. They’ll act as if someone expecting fair treatment is just as bad as their own selfish, manipulative behavior. In their mind, the person who asks for decency is "demanding," while the narcissist’s actual demands for control are dismissed as reasonable. It’s a way to gaslight and reframe the situation so that they can avoid accountability while making their target feel guilty or unreasonable for standing up for themselves.

1. A Lost Secret Rediscovered

Ancient civilizations used sunlight to heal - Egyptians, Hindus, and Chinese knew its power.

In the 1800s, heliotherapy (sunlight therapy) was used to treat tuberculosis and skin diseases.

And now?

Red light therapy (RLT) is a scientific rebirth of that ancient wisdom.

Some important caveats on the methodology, including what was put in and left out and why🧵 x.com/ThomasHochman/…

To start, the goal of this exercise is to get a relative view of public funding for various energy sources. I am including coal, oil, and gas in the next version.

I welcome all feedback and know that people will give it since everyone feels some sort of way about the numbers!

I purposefully took the public funding angle with R&D, tax credits, state incentives, NEM, grants/loans, loan guarantees, ZECS/mandates for a full view of how much public money has been allocated to different resources rather than using the word "subsidy"...

Depression is not a single, uniform brain pattern.

It does not present the same way in every patient.

Sometimes it appears as rumination.
Sometimes as cognitive dysfunction.
Sometimes as emotional over-reactivity.

So how do we make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface? There is a structured way to approach this.

Here is a clinical breakdown of the Triple Network Model, a framework for understanding functional brain changes in depression 🧵👇

The Triple Network Model frames depression as dysregulation within and between three major functional brain systems.

Rather than locating the disorder in one isolated region, it conceptualises depression as a disturbance in large-scale network organisation.

This gives clinicians a more structured way to think about why depressive presentations can differ so markedly.

1/ Default Mode Network (DMN)

In depression, dysfunction of the DMN is linked to altered self-referential processing.

The DMN is primarily active at rest and is involved in emotional regulation, social cognition, future-oriented thinking, autobiographical memory, and self-focused mental activity.

When dysregulated, external information may be processed through a more self-referential lens.

Dysfunction in parietal DMN components is also linked to rumination.

Everyone thinks grey hair is the result of genetics and aging.

But that is a lie.

It's your body eating itself to survive stress.

Here's the real problem (and how to reverse it): 🧵

This is not just genetics.
It’s environmental sabotage.

1 in 4 people under 30 already have grey hair.
By 2030, that number will hit 40%.

Grey hair is your mitochondria waving a white flag.

Melanocyte collapse from modern toxins:

• Air pollution
• EMFs from devices
• Nutrient-stripped diets
• Chronic mineral imbalances

This is cellular burnout disguised as “aging.”

But the real damage happens deeper inside...

He's not wrong, but a big part of the reason we couldn't win Vietnam is because fear of Soviet nuclear retaliation led to us taking a completely defensive stance in that war. We simply would not go into the north, to the frustration of the RoV's generals.

https://twitter.com/gorilla_rape/status/2038404808827183326

This effectively meant that the commies got endless continues. Every time they failed militarily, they got to regroup. They could fund, supply, and support communist militias in the south unmolested.

Of course, the RoV's political leadership had already fallen apart and it had lost popular support due to Diem's oppression of Buddhists, followed by couping him w/ no real replacement. That he'd purged RW anticommunist elements for being insufficiently westernized didn't help.

Michael Rosenblatt shared, “No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.

You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
1)

Bro.

You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.

Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.
2)

The modern left's definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

Allah swears by TIME but not the time you think.

He doesn’t say Zaman, He says “Wal-‘Asr”

Why ‘Asr?

In the Qur’an, Allah says:
“Wal-‘Asr” By Time

But here’s the question no one asks:
Why didn’t He say “Zaman”?

In Arabic, Zaman is chronological time. It’s the clock on the wall. It is the neutral, horizontal line of seconds, minutes, and hours.
If Allah swore by Zaman, He would be swearing by a container.

But 'Asr is different. It is time with a pulse.

The root of ‘Asr is the same as ‘Asir (juice).
It literally means "to press" or "to squeeze." When you squeeze an orange to get the essence out, that act is ‘Asr.

By swearing by ‘Asr, Allah is swearing by Time under Pressure.
