@BillKristol please understand . ask for understanding . require understanding . we cannot deal with this without understanding . understanding this is a large challenge .. you can’t do it without looking within . at least we must trust those who do understand .. but can we ?

Ngl when I was young I thought things were bad because solutions were complicated, and now I’m older and realize things are bad because the solutions are often simple, but they would inconvenience affluent people, or those who aspire to be, and religious fanatics.

@gtconway3d imo George is stepping up and putting himself even more on the line .. he is asking for support in refusing to sanction the American form of pathocracy . bravo .

"What we need is a rebirth of the American spirit. And the way we achieve that is by standing up for what's good in our system, our democracy, people doing the right thing, and talking about what public service means. ... That's one of the forgotten functions of Congress.

@287363w @The_Exit_Code the enabler's supply is the control drama with the narc .

@The_Exit_Code This seems very plausible, because the lengths the flying monkeys will go through for their handlers/ masters is mind boggling....am like how much you being paid bro ?

The flying monkey and the narcissist often deserve each other. One needs an audience. The other needs to belong to something powerful. Neither is offering loyalty. Both are offering use.

If you tolerate toxic people, it means you are also a toxic person. Cut them off, you are not one of them. Because tolerance is a choice. And every time you choose to stay, excuse, or normalize what they do, you are actively participating in the environment they create. Toxic people do not survive without someone who absorbs the behavior, forgives it, and returns for more. That role is not innocent. That role enables everything that follows. ...

@The_Exit_Code empty .. there was a kids game back in the day called "pleased or displeased" kids pretended to be parents in that game .. i myself was (am) a "mother my i" master .

Two narcissists supporting each other is just two empty mirrors facing one another, each performing for a reflection that is also performing. Nobody is actually seen. Everybody is being used.

@The_Exit_Code pretty good ..

The narcissist did not break you. They handed you a manual. You spent years thinking the relationship was the damage. It was the education. Now you read in seconds what used to take you years to feel.

Connecting young people to digital networks serves no purpose if they remain disconnected from themselves, others, and their own interiority. We must help young people rediscover silence, reflection, the ability to ask questions, the depth of relationships, and openness to transcendence. To listen to the soul, we must lend an ear, because the soul's voice is not a shout, but a whisper.

@karenmitchell__ @MeraltrTr true .. extremely true . God help us .

Narcissists, psychopaths (human predators) completely change their behaviour at a legal junction. They are profoundly engaging initially. When marriage or a baby happens, something which gives them greater binding control, they revert to more destructive behaviours.

🚨 WOW! Epstein survivor Liz Stein delivers a powerful reality check. She condemns the establishment for treating the sex trafficking of over a thousand young girls as mere entertainment. She warns Americans would never accept this corrupt coverup if they knew the truth!

@Pontifex The Vatican struggles to make its documents consumable, so the work of spreading them often falls to lay people. I built a one-stop shop for Pope Leo XIV's new AI encyclical — a cleaner reader for the text plus graphic explainers to make sense of it. standwithpopeleo.com/ai

@karenmitchell__ no shame .. never ever

It’s impossible to have a normal discussion with a narcissist, coercive controller, when they have done something hurtful. They will talk around in circles, purposely misinterpret, make unreasonable rationalisations, blame you, change the subject, postpone the conversation….

@The_Exit_Code definately sneaky snakes ..

If they can be charming the second someone else walks in, they were always choosing how to treat you. The rage was not a loss of control. It was a decision made in private, where they calculated no one was watching.

Why listen to Pope Leo on AI? What can the Vatican possibly know about all that? Shouldn't the Pope stay in his lane? Critics immediately raised these questions after "Magnifica Humanitas" was published. Here's why. In short, the Vatican knows a lot more than you might think.

There is more chatter about Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical today than when it was released on Monday. The first U.S.-born pontiff — not politicians — is driving the conversation on the most crucial issue of the day.

@TNsmartass @The_Exit_Code 🎯

@prcarlos47 @The_Exit_Code Yes it’s impossible to escape narcissism everywhere. They are envious, insecure, sadistic bosses, coworkers, & parents. They are saboteurs with influence & control. So “don’t let it affect you” is not an option.

Every narcissist runs the same code. You just could not read it while you were inside it. Once you learn the syntax, the program loses its power. It can still run. It just cannot run on you. 🧵

AOC: Because this is a place that has always drawn people who wanted to take from it without ever giving back. And in every generation, this state has had ordinary people stand up and fight back. It was Montana that took on the railroads that carved up the state. It was Montana that fought mining companies that poisoned your rivers. And it was Montana that had the courage to hold the United States government accountable for the harm it caused our Native American brothers and sisters. That is Montana. The fight that shaped this state didn’t disappear when the railroads stopped growing or when the robber barons lost their power back in that day. It just changed shape into the one we see today. It looks like what happened to the hospital in Bigfork—a community losing the care it depended on because somebody in a boardroom decided that Montanans weren’t profitable enough, and somebody in Washington decided to cut a trillion dollars out of our health care system.
