My parallel port POST test card arrived today! Let's test out my IBM PS/2 Model 70 386 to see if we can figure out why it is not powering up when certain types of mice are plugged into it! Time for a quick 🧵

First, a little about the tester card. It's an AliExpress special. That said, it did get here pretty fast. I'm impressed!

Alright, first off, let's try this card out without a mouse plugged in. Looks like the system boots, and we land on code 0x6E. I found this awesome reference manual called The BIOS Companion, and it has this code listed as "Reset page register; boot up system". That tracks!

„The pipeline had been closed since 2015, after a burst pipe caused a major oil spill, one of California’s worst to date. Hundreds of animals, including birds and marine wildlife, died after being coated in crude oil.

@GovPressOffice @CAgovernor 2).
Sable, which took over ownership of the pipeline from ExxonMobile in 2024, has been attempting to restart its offshore oil production for over a year but has failed to secure necessary permits from California regulators.

On Friday [March 13, 2026] however, @realDonaldTrump ordered the pipeline to reopen regardless of regulator approval, citing energy needs amid the war on Iran.

Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, a key influence on Salafism, was a Freemason who worked for British intelligence & advanced imperial interests. His fundamentalist ideas later paved the way for groups like ISIS. He also had a direct connection to Helena Blavatsky & Theosophical Society.

Al-Afghani's travels closely parallel Helena Blavatsky's, with both in India in the late 1850s, Tbilisi in the early 1860s, Cairo in 1871, and India again in 1879, and his later invitation to Russia coming through Mikhail Katkov, a publisher of Helena Blavatsky.

1)As a veteran anti-Vietnam war protestor I'm quite impressed with the seemingly universal popularity of the No Kings rallies. Breaking all records of peaceful protest in the US. Funny how destroying the White House, buddying up to tyrants, spending tax payers $ like a drunken

2)sailor, disrespecting the military, eliminating important programs that help people & research for common diseases, threatening to take over European countries & Canada, recklessly firing intelligence operatives & honest prosecutors, alienating all former allies, betraying Ukrn

3) wrecking the economy for the US & probably the whole world, driving farmers out of business, job numbers plummeting etc ARE HIGHLY UNPOPULAR. Even in red state rural America. No wonder political consultant Sam Nunberg told Michael Wolff, "U don't get it do U, he's an idiot."

Ambiguous loss is grief with no clean edges.
No obituary.
No casseroles.
No moment where the world agrees: yes, this is gone.
It’s the kind of loss that lingers in the background of your life, unresolved and often invisible.

It’s the kind of loss that lingers in the background of your life, unresolved and often invisible.
It’s missing someone who is still alive.
It’s mourning a version of the world that technically still exists… but doesn’t feel real anymore.

There’s no closure because nothing fully ends.
And nothing fully returns.

A thread 🧵(1/8)

(2/8)

When a scapegoat finally breaks through years of gaslighting and speaks the truth out loud, it can sound — to everyone who has only known the narcissist’s version of reality — like the scapegoat is the one reversing reality.
🧵

And the narcissist knows exactly how to exploit that.
They’ll point at the scapegoat’s account with outrage: “Do you see how delusional they are? How they’re twisting everything? Do you see what we have to deal with?!”

The sheer confidence of the lie, held for so many years, has calcified into the accepted version of events. So the truth, when it finally surfaces, sounds like the distortion.
And it ENRAGES them.
Because they were certain they had sealed the narrative permanently — that their alternate reality, where they were innocent and their victim was the problem, was airtight. The scapegoat speaking up isn’t just a threat. It’s a betrayal of the prison they built.

But here’s what’s actually happening:
The scapegoat isn’t reversing reality. They’re restoring it. Every word they speak is simply dismantling the false reality the narcissist constructed and imposed on them — sometimes for decades.
What looks like an attack on the truth IS the truth.
It just sounds radical because the lie was so grossly backwards from the start for so many years.

Most athletes get this wrong.

They wait to feel confident before they perform.

Rather than waiting for the feeling to come, here's something you can actually do.

Choose confidence by choosing:
- Your body language
- Your focus
- Your self-talk

Some days you'll feel great.

Other days you won't.

That's normal.

HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT ☢️

ISRAELS REAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS LAB

Declassified for 10 years , ignored for 60.

For the first time , THE VEIL WILL BE STRIPPED.

I will be exposing Israeli nuclear lies layer by layer

Exclusively on X

A 🧵 ⬇️

On the front it looks like a harmless civilian nuclear research centre build for peaceful purposes , built in the 60s it’s the only nuclear site whose existence Israel excepts and is under IAEA , but once you start questioning , the facade starts to crumble

First its location Soreq sits near Yavne, central Israel. 570 meters to its west? Palmachim Air Base , Israel’s primary missile test launch site and spaceport. Censored out on Israeli commercial mapping services. That’s not a coincidence, but let’s assume it is?
