Cool visualization, but the Solar System is massively not to scale here. In reality the entire planetary system is an invisible speck compared to the galactic distances shown.
We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.
Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.
The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.
And there are people who think that the earth is flat.

I went through all our front door footage from last night. I swear I did not set out to make a propaganda film.
15 minutes of Jordan Peterson a day will change your life:
Jordan Peterson’s reading of “pearls before swine” is one of the most practical bits of conflict advice I’ve come across.
When someone isn’t listening, that doesn’t prove they’re stubborn. It shows you’ve misread who you’re talking to.
His fix is simple. Stop talking and start watching.
Give people silence and they’ll show you who they are and what they want, usually faster than you’d expect.
Most arguments run long because we keep explaining ourselves to someone who isn’t really there.
Drove my kids 20 min to the two streets on North Padre that go all out for Halloween. Did it for 3 years. Great tradition. Lately it’s slipped a bit. Feels like every destination block now draws the whole surrounding area. I call it "Destination Halloween". We used to gather and walk our own neighborhood as kids.

X is the only place where the Legacy Media can’t censor information.
They have to denigrate X in order to maintain their grip on the information flow to Americans.
X is where you find the truth.
Elon Musk’s X has become the go-to place for MAGA supporters to hunt for examples of voter fraud, @WillOremus reports. He examines how the platform could play a central role in the midterm elections: theatlantic.com/technology/2…

On "VOTING FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS"
If godly people refuse to vote for the LESSER of 2 evils, godless people will vote to ensure you, your children, and your grandchildren get the GREATER of 2 evils.
NEWSFLASH: You will be voting for a "lesser of two evils" until Jesus returns.
Wise Christians can differentiate between a FALLEN candidate and an EVIL candidate.
FALLEN CANDIDATE: Has personal sin in his / her life.
EVIL CANDIDATE: Leads entire communities, states, and nations to sin.
High school reading levels are the lowest they have ever been since we started recording them in 1992.
We are literally doomed
American High School English Teacher reads real responses from her student’s assignment after reading The Great Gatsby
We have a serious education issue in America and if we don’t address it, we have a horrible future ahead of us
These kind of responses are to be expected because 12th grade reading results in 2024 in America showed that reading levels right now the lowest they’ve ever been since the assessment began in 1992
If you could drive your car straight up into the air at highway speeds, you would arrive in outer space in less than an hour.
Halloween falls on a Saturday this year🎃 Here are the years it happens in our current era:
• 2009, 2015, 2020
• 2026 (Today)
• 2037, 2043, 2048, 2054, 2065, 2071, 2076

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.
