I love listening to Bad, Tina, and Tubbo's rant about the purgatory event because I feel like it parallels what Charlie said day one. I don't remember word for word but he said something along the lines of, one day you'll see what this place is really taking from you maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but one day you'll see and then come and find us. Because he was right the whole time. On day one red learned what this event was it was getting your teeth kicked in no holds bar, friendships abandoned at the blink of an eye and a chance for blood shed. No one wanted to talk or negotiate day one for red so they changed. Anyone approaching is a threat to be eliminated they don't travel alone they are in constant communication because they learned the hard way how bad it can be. Red team has been willing to be whatever they had to be for the event from unhinged barking gas mask wearing murders to homeless drifters begging to spared because they have nothing. They have adapted to survive purgatory in their own way and it's working. Even if they don't really think it will.

Now I feel like blue and green are learning that in a different way by having their hard work and grinding mean absolutely nothing. They are working hard playing by the rules of purgatory, and they're losing! That's the point! This place sucks it hates you it isn't fair because it's not supposed to be. Red team is leaning on each other because it's the thing keeping them somewhat sane and alive. I personally can't wait to see Blue become more vicious and cruel because they've had two wins stolen or Green pull together to have a come back after being third twice now. They have to adapt to purgatory and when they likely will soon and when they do it will drive red to do worse and worse things to stay sane and the cycle will continue. Purgatory is about breaking you. Breaking your morals and friendships and hopes.

The rules are unfair because they want you to be unfair. Purgatory is hell and to survive it, to win it you have to be willing to be cruel or callouse or even cowardly. I entire point of the purgatory event is that everyone is supposed to come out having done something terrible, or they come out feeling like they didn't do all they could to save their children so there is no win. You either cross that line or accept that you are forfeiting your kids life. From a narrative stand point it is a great idea because it's shaking up the hornets nest and severing relationships once thought to be rock solid. *cough* Eitole, Fit, and Phil *cough* I don't even know where I'm going with this anymore I just think Purgatory was such a neat idea and makes for such an interesting rp senerio where role-playing is nearly impossible due to nature of the event.

Mannnnn is it just me or does it feel like Dan was feeling particularly nostalgic this video? Or, maybe nostalgic isn't the word– but just looking back on the past. "My family was broker than yours," "my town's still a shithole," "this wasn't like my prom," etc.

but what got me the goddamn most was him talking about heartstopper– a show that's so full of queer joy that he has difficulty watching because his own teenage years were the polar opposite. What's more: the glaring absence of his prom story, when we hear SO much about Phil's.

Hearing about that past, that past that clearly still haunts him, and then seeing him on the front cover of a queer magazine now... what if I'm parasocially devastated rn

Since Mercedes PR & Social media are gonna need some time to sort out the new driver pairing and new sponsor placements, I think having Valtteri Bottas around is about to be very useful.

Hear me out.

A while back, podiumsundays on Instagram made a post about content other than DTS that F1 should pursue making, including a bit of a travel show sort of thing with Valtteri, showing culture, food and sites local to the region to give a more holistic back drop to the racing and to temper some of the more outlandish (at times bordering on inappropriate) stunts certain teams pull in various countries with facts and fun. A bit like the Netflix series somebody feed phil, but racing influenced with history, culture and food. It could also be somewhat informative for fans who might plan to travel to those races in future.

I don’t seriously believe F1 will invest in anything other than DTS right now, but Mercedes should absolutely do it now they have Valtteri under contract. It would work with Valtteri’s brand, and he has a unique persona and media presence among the drivers that brings people to watch and support him. It would even work with his What’s Next? concept. It would bring eyes to the Mercedes content and broker some degree of goodwill towards the team if it was done right, and it would give them an opportunity to seamlessly integrate the new sponsors into content. For Valtteri, it would also be a stepping stone to a potential post-racing career and keep up his presence in the racing world while he is not driving on the grid.

Tl;dr A Valtteri Bottas F1-travel show on YouTube? I’d watch the heck out of that.

Quake: Veil of Deception #2 – Web of Lies

The rain pounded relentlessly on the rooftops of Madripoor, turning the city’s maze of streets into rivers of mud and grime. In the distance, the neon signs flickered like dying embers, casting an uneven glow that barely pierced the darkness. Daisy Johnson, aka Quake, pulled her hood tighter against the downpour, her mind focused and her senses heightened. The remnants of her last encounter still weighed heavily on her—every corner she turned seemed to whisper of the trap she narrowly escaped. The warehouse, the aftermath, the meticulous cleanup—it all felt too deliberate, too orchestrated. But by whom? And why? These questions gnawed at her as she moved like a shadow through the rain-soaked streets, her thoughts as turbulent as the storm overhead.

As she watched from a hidden vantage point, Daisy’s mind wandered to her past, to the days when S.H.I.E.L.D. was still standing. The organization had been her family, her anchor in a world full of uncertainty. A memory surfaced—her first mission under Phil Coulson’s guidance. They had been in Eastern Europe, taking down a HYDRA cell. She could still hear his calm voice in her ear, guiding her through the chaos. But what stuck with her most was the look of pride on his face when she succeeded. That memory, once a source of comfort, now felt like a distant echo, haunting her as she faced the reality of a world without S.H.I.E.L.D. The encrypted message she had received—mentioning "Project Quake"—echoed in her thoughts like a ghost. What was it, and why was it connected to her? The deeper she dug, the more elusive the truth seemed to become. Unbeknownst to her, Sharon Carter, hidden in the shadows, observed her every move, her expression unreadable. With a swift motion, Sharon dialed a number on her phone, instructing an unseen associate to plant another piece of information—another breadcrumb to lead Daisy further into her carefully laid trap.

Daisy made her way to a hidden safe house, a place she and her old S.H.I.E.L.D. team had once relied on during covert missions in Madripoor. The building was nondescript, blending seamlessly into the surrounding slums, but inside, it held the echoes of missions long past. Waiting inside was Turner, an ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had gone off the grid after the agency’s collapse. His face, hardened by years of disillusionment, softened slightly when he saw Daisy, but his eyes remained wary.

"Daisy," Turner greeted her cautiously, the weariness in his voice unmistakable. "I thought you’d gotten out of this game."

"Not by choice," Daisy replied, her voice carrying the weight of their shared history. She wasted no time, showing him the evidence she had uncovered—advanced weapons linked back to S.H.I.E.L.D. tech, now in the hands of Madripoor’s underworld.

Turner’s expression darkened as he studied the evidence. His hands trembled slightly as he held the device, the color draining from his face. “This... this is bigger than you realize, Daisy. Madripoor’s underworld is a web of deceit, and the Power Broker is at the center of it. But ‘Project Quake’... I thought that was buried. Buried deep.”

Daisy’s eyes narrowed. “What do you know about it?” she asked, her voice cutting through the air like a knife. Turner hesitated, his words catching in his throat. She stepped closer, pressing him. “Turner, if you know something, now’s the time.”

He swallowed hard, his gaze flicking nervously to the shadows as if expecting them to come alive. “It was one of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s most classified initiatives—off the books. Most of us didn’t even know it existed. But those who did... well, let’s just say, they didn’t talk about it unless they had to.” He paused, his voice dropping to a whisper. “I knew an agent who got too close. Good man. Never seen again.”

Daisy could feel the tension in the room, the weight of the secrets Turner wasn’t sharing. His hand trembled as he passed the device back to her, his fear palpable. But she also knew pressing him further wouldn’t help. He was already teetering on the edge, and she couldn’t afford to push him over. She placed a hand on his shoulder, a silent gesture of understanding, before leaving the safe house.

Meanwhile, in a lavish office overlooking Madripoor’s skyline, Sharon Carter—now known only to the audience as the Power Broker—sat at her desk, reviewing the latest developments. Her confident facade masked an undercurrent of unease. The mention of "Project Quake" had stirred memories she had long since buried, memories of choices that had led her down a darker path. Sharon’s transformation from a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to the Power Broker hadn’t been a sudden shift; it was a gradual descent, driven by the realization that power was the only way to survive in this new world. But there was still a part of her that wrestled with the choices she had made, even if she buried it deep beneath her calculated exterior.

Sharon decided it was time to accelerate her plans. She instructed her assistant, Rook, to prepare for the next phase of her scheme.

Rook, a tech-savvy mercenary with a sharp mind and a penchant for ruthlessness, approached Sharon with new intel. “There’s an underground auction happening tonight,” Rook reported. “One of the items up for bid is an encrypted S.H.I.E.L.D. hard drive. It could be valuable—or it could be bait.”

Sharon’s lips curled into a slight smile, a trace of her old self flickering briefly before being swallowed by her new persona. “Perfect. Make sure Daisy knows about it. But don’t make it too easy. We want her sharp—this game only works if she believes she can win.”

That night, Daisy found herself in the heart of Madripoor’s criminal underworld, navigating the tense atmosphere of an underground auction. Disguised as a wealthy bidder, she moved among the city’s elite criminals, her senses on high alert. The auction house was a den of iniquity, filled with the kind of people who thrived on power and greed. As she passed by a weathered stone statue in the corner, Daisy recalled a local legend she had heard years ago—a tale of a man who had tried to control the city’s underworld but was consumed by his own ambition. The statue was said to represent his spirit, now cursed to watch over the city he once sought to dominate. The story resonated with Daisy, a reminder of how easily power could corrupt.

Daisy’s eyes locked onto the item she had come for—a S.H.I.E.L.D. hard drive, marked with the agency’s insignia. It was a relic of a past that shouldn’t exist in this place, and yet here it was, drawing her like a moth to a flame.

As the bidding war intensified, Daisy felt the weight of the eyes on her, the atmosphere thick with tension. She noticed a few other bidders who seemed oddly focused on the same items she was—plants by Sharon, no doubt, meant to keep her off balance. Just as she prepared to make her final bid, the auctioneer’s hammer fell—she had been outbid. The winning bidder was a man with a scarred face, known in Madripoor for his dealings in high-level arms. Daisy’s heart sank as the hard drive slipped through her fingers, but she wasn’t about to let it go without a fight.

She followed the man as he left the auction, her instincts screaming that this was a trap—but a trap she couldn’t afford to avoid. The rain had started again, turning the narrow alleys into treacherous paths of slick cobblestones. Daisy’s mind raced as she replayed Turner’s words, the fear in his voice when he spoke of “Project Quake.” What had S.H.I.E.L.D. been hiding? And why was she only now being dragged into it?

In a dark alley outside the auction house, Daisy confronted the man, demanding the hard drive. He laughed, recognizing her as Quake, but his confidence didn’t waver. “You have no idea what you’re dealing with, girl,” he sneered.

The confrontation quickly escalated into a brutal fight. Daisy unleashed her seismic powers, disarming the man with a pulse of energy that sent him sprawling to the ground. But even as she overpowered him, he revealed a chilling truth—the hard drive was rigged, not just a storage device but a bomb designed to destroy itself if tampered with.

Daisy’s heart raced as she realized the depth of the setup. Time seemed to slow as she processed the information, her mind rapidly cycling through options. She had seconds, maybe less. With a surge of adrenaline, she made a split-second decision to shield herself from the blast, diving behind a stack of crates just as the device detonated. The explosion sent a shockwave through the alley, the force of it echoing in her bones.

When the dust settled, Daisy was left breathless, her ears ringing from the blast. She checked herself for injuries, finding a few cuts and bruises but nothing too serious. Still, the close call left her shaken. Amid the debris, she found a small data chip that had been ejected from the drive before it detonated. The chip was a fragment, but it might hold something useful—something that could lead her closer to the truth. Examining it closely, she noticed an eerie resemblance to the technology used in "Project Quake," a discovery that raised more questions than it answered.

Back at her safe house, Daisy hesitated before analyzing the data chip. For a moment, she considered not taking it, fearing it might be another trap, another step deeper into the web of deception that was closing in around her. But her resolve hardened—she couldn’t turn back now. The information was incomplete, corrupted by the explosion, but she managed to extract a partial file. It contained coordinates to a secret lab in Madripoor, a lab that was supposedly shut down years ago. The location was deep within the city’s most dangerous district, a place where even the bravest mercenaries feared to tread.

As she prepared to head out, Daisy couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being manipulated, pushed toward an unknown endgame. She paused, reflecting on how far she had come since S.H.I.E.L.D.’s collapse. This mission was changing her, hardening her resolve in ways she hadn’t anticipated. The shadows of Madripoor were closing in, and Daisy knew she was walking a fine line between hunter and hunted. The distorted reflections of neon lights on the wet pavement caught her eye, a visual reminder of the twisted truths she was uncovering. Just like those reflections, nothing in Madripoor was as it seemed. The legend of the stone statue resurfaced in her mind—a cautionary tale about the dangers of seeking power at all costs. She couldn’t help but wonder if she was walking the same path, destined for the same fate.

Meanwhile, across town in her lavish office, Sharon Carter sat, her expression cold and unreadable as she watched a live feed of Daisy’s actions. The screen flickered, showing Daisy leaving the safe house, her figure disappearing into the shadows of Madripoor. Sharon’s lips pressed into a thin line as she picked up a file labeled “Project Quake” and locked it away in a drawer. She leaned back in her chair, her eyes narrowing as she considered her next move.

Everything was proceeding as planned, but a small, nagging doubt lingered in her mind—one that she couldn’t easily dismiss. Was she truly in control, or was she, too, caught in the web she had spun? Sharon allowed herself a rare moment of introspection. The path she had chosen was irreversible, but the confrontation with Daisy was inevitable. And when it came, it would change everything.

Sharon’s gaze hardened as she reached for her phone, the uncertainty vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. The next phase was about to begin, and she needed to ensure that she stayed one step ahead of Daisy. As she gave her orders, the camera zoomed out, the screen going dark, leaving only the faint glow of the city lights in the distance—a city full of secrets, deception, and a looming confrontation that would soon come to a head.

A link to my personal reading of the Scriptures

for the 6th of february 2025 with a paired chapter from each Testament (the First & the New Covenant) of the Bible

[The Letter of 1st Corinthians, Chapter 4 • The Book of 1st Chronicles, Chapter 3]

along with Today’s reading from the ancient books of Proverbs and Psalms with Proverbs 6 and Psalm 6 coinciding with the day of the month, accompanied by Psalm 48 for the 48th day of Astronomical Winter, and Psalm 37 for day 37 of the year (with the consummate book of 150 Psalms in its 1st revolution this year)

A post by John Parsons:

"Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven." - Luke 10:20

­====

A seed is small, fragile, and seemingly insignificant, yet in the hands of a wise gardener it is understood to be miraculous, able to be perfected and made fruitful. You may feel unworthy, helpless, and forlorn, but you are regarded as blameless and upright because of the miracle of God's life imparted within you, that is, the "holy seed" implanted at your regeneration (see 1 Pet. 1:23). You have a new nature that draws life from heaven as God’s own child. And just as a master gardener carefully tends to his planted seeds, so God will tend the divine life sown within your heart. The seed is "hidden" in the soil, unseen by others, yet tended by the gardener who knows its potential to be perfected.

The seed "contains" the essence of the life it replicates. Inside the seed there is an embryo (the baby plant), and when the seed begins to grow, one part of the embryo becomes the (visible) plant while the other part becomes the (hidden) root of the plant. However, the outer shell of the seed must first be broken, and then what appears is the "radicle," or the embryonic root which will develop into a plant. The life cycle of a seed is one of burial and resurrection, of growth and fruitfulness (John 12:24), and the divine life implanted within our hearts will bear fruit: "For by his sacrifice, Yeshua has perfected (i.e., made complete, whole, full of life) all those who are being sanctified" (Heb. 10:14).

Yeshua said, "Be perfect even as your Heavenly Father is perfect" (Matt. 5:48), which of course is an impossibility from a human point of view, but is a corollary of the divine nature implanted within you... The seed within you is perfected to be God’s beloved child. You might miss it in the midst of your everyday struggles with fear and the “miasma” of this depraved world, but God is working in you both to will and to do his good pleasure (Phil. 2:12). Like all matters of the Spirit, God's perfection in you comes by faith, not by sight... Only the new heart (lev chadash) created by power of God’s Spirit can possibly yield the fruit of the Spirit.

Therefore take heart and do not yield to despair over the mess of your lives. Remember that fruit does not immediately crop up but requires time and its own season... The process of spiritual growth is ultimately mysterious and divine: "The Kingdom of God is like someone who spreads seed on the ground. He goes to sleep and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. By itself (αὐτομάτη, "automatically") the soil produces a crop, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. And when the grain is ripe, he comes in with his sickle because the harvest has come" (Mark 4:26-29).

Trust in God’s power to do the miracle. "Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Yeshua from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Yeshua the Messiah, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen" (Heb. 13:20-21). Amen. " He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it" (1 Thess. 5:24).

Trump's Policy: An Overview of Key Domestic and Foreign Policies

Donald Trump’s presidency (2017-2021) was marked by a mix of conservative, populist, and nationalist policies that aimed to reshape both domestic governance and international relations. His administration focused on deregulation, tax cuts, immigration restrictions, and an "America First" foreign policy. This article explores some of the key policies implemented during his tenure.

Domestic Policies

1. Economic Policies: Tax Cuts and Deregulation

Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2017, which reduced corporate tax rates from 35% to 21% and lowered income tax rates for individuals. The goal was to stimulate economic growth by encouraging investment and job creation. Additionally, his administration pursued extensive deregulation, rolling back environmental and business regulations to boost industries like manufacturing and energy.

2. Immigration: Border Security and Travel Bans

Immigration was a cornerstone of Trump's platform. His administration enacted policies such as:

The Border Wall: Construction of a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border was a major priority. While parts of the wall were built, funding and legal challenges prevented full completion.

Family Separation Policy: The "zero tolerance" policy led to the separation of migrant families at the border, sparking controversy.

Travel Ban: A ban on travel from several predominantly Muslim countries was implemented early in his presidency, citing national security concerns.

3. Healthcare: Attempts to Repeal Obamacare

Trump and congressional Republicans attempted to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), commonly known as Obamacare. Although a full repeal was unsuccessful, his administration weakened the ACA by eliminating the individual mandate penalty, which required Americans to have health insurance.

4. Criminal Justice and Policing

Trump signed the First Step Act, a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill that aimed to reduce sentencing for nonviolent offenders and improve prison conditions. However, his administration was also criticized for its response to racial justice protests and calls for police reform.

5. COVID-19 Response

Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was highly debated. While his administration accelerated vaccine development through Operation Warp Speed, critics argued that his initial downplaying of the virus and inconsistent messaging contributed to the severity of the outbreak in the U.S.

Foreign Policy: America First Approach

1. Trade and Tariffs

Trump sought to reduce trade deficits and bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.:

Trade War with China: His administration imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, leading to retaliatory tariffs. The Phase One trade deal in 2020 sought to rebalance trade but had limited impact.

USMCA: Trump renegotiated NAFTA into the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which introduced new labor and environmental provisions.

2. Relations with Allies and NATO

Trump frequently criticized NATO allies for not meeting their defense spending commitments. His administration pushed for a more transactional approach to alliances, emphasizing U.S. interests over multilateral cooperation.

3. Middle East Policy

Israel and the Abraham Accords: His administration brokered historic agreements between Israel and several Arab nations (UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco), normalizing diplomatic relations.

Iran: Trump withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) and reimposed sanctions, arguing the agreement was too lenient.

Afghanistan: He initiated peace talks with the Taliban and negotiated a withdrawal plan for U.S. troops, which was later carried out under President Biden.

4. North Korea Diplomacy

Trump engaged in unprecedented direct diplomacy with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, meeting him three times. However, talks ultimately stalled, and North Korea continued its missile tests.

Conclusion

Trump's policies reflected his "America First" philosophy, prioritizing domestic economic growth, national security, and a shift away from multilateral agreements. While his administration saw economic gains and deregulatory successes, it also faced criticism for its handling of immigration, racial tensions, and the pandemic. His legacy remains highly debated, influencing political discourse even after his presidency.

Former President Jimmy Carter dies at 100!

Courtesy of Phil McCausland NBC News

Former President Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States who dedicated his life after leaving office to brokering international peace, has died at age 100, his office confirmed Sunday.

Carter had been receiving hospice care since February 2023 at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he lived with his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter. The former first lady, 96, died on Nov. 19, 2023.

Carter was the first U.S. president to reach their 100th birthday.

In October 2024, for Carter’s 100th birthday, President Joe Biden recognized him in a direct-to-camera birthday message shared with CBS News, saying, “Mr. President, you’ve always been a moral force for our nation and the world. I recognized that as a young senator. That’s why I supported you so early. You’re a voice of courage, conviction, compassion, and most of all, a beloved friend of Jill and me and our family.”

A Georgia native and a Democrat, Carter was elected president in 1976, defeating the Republican incumbent, Gerald Ford, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal. Carter served one term before losing re-election in 1980 to Ronald Reagan, his bid hobbled by an inability to resolve the Iran hostage crisis, a standoff that lasted 444 days. Carter also was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his human rights work around the world.

The oldest living former president after the death of George H.W. Bush in 2018 at 94, Carter was the first American president to have been born in a hospital.

Only 56 years old when he left the Oval Office, Carter would spend the next four decades focusing on good works that made him an almost universally revered figure, sometimes called America’s greatest ex-president — a sharp contrast to his relatively low popularity when he exited the White House in January 1981.
