Wrapped in deep black, I rest in the soft play of light and shadow—arms folded in quiet retreat, gaze drifting through dimness, or standing still beneath calm overhead glow.

Paris promised happiness. Now I spend my nights beneath the red lights of Montmartre. Yet I still remember the dimness of my hometown platform after the last train. Tell my little sister: Don't end up like me. 🌙

"I'm listing my deadlines by due date so I can miss them in chronological order." - David Sipress For some bizarre reason HMRC take a dim view of missed deadlines, that dimness of view normally results in a kick to your financial parts, ouch! There are numerous reasons why people register late for self-employment. It’s not always nefarious behaviour from the person, but the consequences, such as anxiety, stress and penalties don’t disappear.

Isaiah 8:20-22 KJV To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. [21] And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. [22] And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

She couldn't even figure out the simple logistics that someone else on Tommy's team is posting on his account on his behalf. DIM! Then she blocks me because she's ashamed of her dimness 😂

Your lot are doing the same and you are much further away from power than he is, Anderson's dimness is really rubbing off on you

The focus issue is from the warped cockpit windows and distance at night… they look about the dimness of stars in reality… they don’t get brighter or flash like the video… they show up and then fade out

The dimness shines in his eyes. Or perhaps he'd had a few pints.

Tim is clearly "not bright". But he is one of those people who are belligerently hostile and tenacious in their dimness.

Extract from my forthcoming book A Cosmic Drama Composition and Makeup of the 7 Classical Planets Correlated with the 7 Vials of Revelation 16 This analysis correlates the physical composition, atmosphere, surface features, magnetic fields, and other properties of the seven classical planets ( Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) with the judgments of the seven vials poured out by the seven angels in Revelation 16. Each planet's scientific makeup is interpreted symbolically in light of ancient cosmology (planets as divine signs), the electric universe model (plasma/electromagnetic interactions), polar configuration theory (catastrophic planetary reconfigurations), and Gileadi's synchronous end-time judgments. The sequence follows the inner-to-outer planets, starting with Mercury. 1. Mercury – First Vial (Revelation 16:2 – "And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.") Scientific Composition/Makeup: Mercury is the smallest planet and closest to the Sun, with an unusually large iron-nickel core (75% of its radius, density 5.427 g/cm³ – highest of any planet). Thin silicate mantle and crust, heavily cratered surface from ancient volcanism and impacts, no substantial atmosphere (only a thin exosphere of hydrogen, helium, oxygen, sodium, potassium from solar wind and surface material). Weak magnetic field (1% of Earth's strength), allowing intense solar radiation and plasma bombardment, causing surface "scarring" and extreme temperature swings (427°C day, –173°C night). Symbolic & Prophetic Correlation: Mercury's iron-rich, radiation-scorched surface and lack of protective atmosphere symbolise the "noisome and grievous sore" – festering, painful affliction on those marked by the beast. In the electric universe model, solar wind plasma continuously "strikes" Mercury, creating craters and surface damage akin to plague-like sores. Gileadi ties such judgments to covenant curses on the unfaithful (Deuteronomy 28:27 "the LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed"; Endtime Prophecy, pp. 98–112). Mercury, the messenger planet in ancient cosmology, reflects rejected covenant words leading to affliction (Jeremiah 30:12–13 "Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines"). Footnotes: ¹ NASA/JPL Solar System Exploration – Mercury In-Depth (accessed February 2, 2026, solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets…). Detailed measurements from the Messenger probe (2008–2015) confirm core size and exosphere composition. ² Thornhill & Talbott, The Electric Universe, 2007, ch. 4 (solar plasma interactions with Mercury, pp. 85–92). Describes plasma scarring as "electric discharge machining" causing crater chains. ³ Gileadi, Endtime Prophecy, pp. 98–112 (covenant curses as physical afflictions, with references to Deut 28 and Lev 26). Gileadi links sores to unrepentant idolatry. ⁴ Deuteronomy 28:27; Jeremiah 30:12–13 (scriptures on incurable sores as judgment). 2. Venus – Second Vial (Revelation 16:3 – "And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.") Scientific Composition/Makeup: Venus has a thick CO₂-dominated atmosphere (96.5%, surface pressure 92 bar – 92 times Earth's), runaway greenhouse effect (surface temperature ~462°C), basaltic volcanic surface (over 1,600 major volcanoes), sulfuric acid clouds, retrograde rotation (243 Earth days). No liquid water; ancient oceans likely evaporated into acidic, "blood-red" haze. Surface features include tesserae (deformed highlands) and coronae from internal heat. Symbolic & Prophetic Correlation: Venus's toxic, blood-red atmosphere (sulfuric acid droplets) and complete loss of ancient seas symbolise oceans turning to blood, killing all marine life. Polar configuration theory (Talbott's Saturn Myth) views Venus as a former "comet-like" body causing cataclysmic floods and "blood" events. Gileadi connects to the end-time desolation of waters as a covenant curse (Isaiah 24:4–6 "the earth mourneth and fadeth away... therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate"; Endtime Prophecy, ch. 5, pp. 98–112). Venus, the beauty/temptation planet, reflects corrupted desire leading to death (Jeremiah 5:25 "your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you"). Footnotes: ⁵ NASA/JPL Venus In-Depth (accessed February 2, 2026, solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets…). The Venus Express mission (2005–2014) confirmed sulfuric clouds and volcanic activity. ⁶ Talbott, The Saturn Myth, 1980, pp. 150–180 (Venus as comet disruptor in ancient catastrophes, with references to global flood myths). ⁷ Gileadi, Endtime Prophecy, ch. 5, pp. 98–112 (judgments on waters as covenant desolation, linking to Isa 24). ⁸ Isaiah 24:4–6; Jeremiah 5:25 (scriptures on desolated waters as curse). 3. Mars – Third Vial (Revelation 16:4–7 – "And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood... Thou art righteous, O Lord... because they have shed the blood of saints and prophets.") Scientific Composition/Makeup: Mars has an iron oxide (rust) surface giving its red "blood-like" appearance, a thin CO₂ atmosphere (95%), polar water/CO₂ ice caps, ancient river valleys and flood channels (e.g., Valles Marineris, evidence of massive past floods), and subsurface water ice/permafrost. Iron-nickel core, remnant magnetic field (solar wind erosion), thin atmosphere allows intense radiation. Symbolic & Prophetic Correlation: Mars's red, iron-rich surface and ancient but now dry "rivers" symbolise fresh waters turning to blood. The electric universe model sees Mars's massive scars (Valles Marineris) as plasma discharge/electrical scarring (Thornhill). Gileadi ties judgments on waters to covenant curses for bloodshed (Isaiah 24:5–6 "the earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant"; Endtime Prophecy, pp. 98–112). Mars, the war/rule planet, reflects human government failure leading to bloodguilt (Joel 3:19 "Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land"). Footnotes: ⁹ NASA/JPL Mars In-Depth (accessed February 2, 2026, solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets…). Perseverance rover data (2021–present) confirms subsurface water and ancient floods. ¹⁰ Thornhill, The Electric Universe, ch. 5 (Mars scars as plasma discharge, pp. 120–140). ¹¹ Gileadi, Endtime Prophecy, pp. 98–112 (waters as covenant curse for bloodshed). ¹² Isaiah 24:5–6; Joel 3:19 (scriptures on defiled waters and bloodshed). 4. Jupiter – Fourth Vial (Revelation 16:8–9) – "And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God...") Scientific Composition/Makeup: Gas giant (75% hydrogen, 24% helium), massive metallic hydrogen core under extreme pressure (generating heat/electric currents), stormy atmosphere with Great Red Spot (anticyclone), powerful magnetic field (20,000 times Earth's), intense radiation belts trapping solar particles. Generates more heat internally (gravitational contraction) than it receives from the Sun. Symbolic & Prophetic Correlation: Jupiter's intense radiation belts and internal heat symbolise the sun scorching men with fire. The polar configuration model sees Jupiter as an ancient "king planet" with plasma auroras and fire (Talbott). Gileadi: fire judgments on unrepentant (Isaiah 30:30–33 "the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones"; Endtime Prophecy, ch. 5). Jupiter as expansion/blessing planet in judgment mode reflects grace dispensation's end (Romans 11:25; Malachi 4:1 "the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble"). Footnotes: ¹³ NASA/JPL Jupiter In-Depth (accessed February 2, 2026, solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets…). Juno mission (2016–present) details magnetic field and radiation. ¹⁴ Talbott, The Saturn Myth, pp. 200–250 (Jupiter as ancient king with plasma fire). ¹⁵ Gileadi, Endtime Prophecy, ch. 5 (fire judgments on unrepentant). ¹⁶ Isaiah 30:30–33; Malachi 4:1 (scriptures on devouring fire judgments). 5. Saturn – Fifth Vial (Revelation 16:10–11 – "And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain...") Scientific Composition/Makeup: Gas giant (96% hydrogen, 3% helium), liquid metallic hydrogen core, iconic rings of ice/rock particles (causing shadows), hazy atmosphere with methane/ammonia clouds, weak internal heat, tilted axis causing extreme seasons/dark periods. Magnetic field traps particles, creating auroral darkness. Symbolic & Prophetic Correlation: Saturn's rings/shadows and hazy atmosphere symbolise the beast's kingdom plunged into painful darkness. The Electric Universe sees Saturn as an ancient "polar sun" dimmed in reconfiguration (Thornhill/Talbott). Gileadi: darkness as covenant curse (Isaiah 8:22 "behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish"; Endtime Prophecy, pp. 98–112). Saturn as time/judgment planet, reflects kingdom dispensation's pain before restoration (Joel 2:2 "a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness"). Footnotes: ¹⁷ NASA/JPL Saturn In-Depth (accessed February 2, 2026, solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets…). Cassini mission (2004–2017) confirmed ring shadows and atmospheric haze. ¹⁸ Thornhill & Talbott, The Saturn Myth, pp. 100–150 (Saturn as dimmed polar sun). ¹⁹ Gileadi, Endtime Prophecy, pp. 98–112 (darkness as covenant curse). ²⁰ Isaiah 8:22; Joel 2:2 (scriptures on anguish in darkness). 6. Uranus – Sixth Vial (Revelation 16:12–16 – "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared... unclean spirits like frogs... gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.") Scientific Composition/Makeup: Ice giant (hydrogen/helium envelope, water/ammonia/methane ice mantle, rocky core), extreme axial tilt (98° – "rolling" on side, causing chaotic seasons), faint rings, weak magnetic field tilted 60°. Methane atmosphere absorbs red light (blue-green hue), hydrocarbon hazes, and violent storms. Symbolic & Prophetic Correlation: Uranus's tilt/upheaval and "unclean" hydrocarbon hazes symbolise dried rivers and unclean spirits gathering kings to war. Polar model ties Uranus to chaotic reconfigurations (Talbott). Gileadi: unclean powers as end-time deception (Isaiah 14:12–15 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!"; Endtime Prophecy, pp. 145–150). Uranus as upheaval reflects Armageddon prelude (Joel 3:9–14 "Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men... Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision"). Footnotes: ²¹ NASA/JPL Uranus In-Depth (accessed February 2, 2026, solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets…). Voyager 2 flyby (1986) revealed tilt and hazes. ²² Talbott, The Saturn Myth, pp. 300–350 (Uranus in chaotic reconfiguration). ²³ Gileadi, Endtime Prophecy, pp. 145–150 (unclean powers in end-time deception). ²⁴ Isaiah 14:12–15; Joel 3:9–14 (scriptures on deception and war gathering). 7. Neptune – Seventh Vial (Revelation 16:17–21 – "And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done... And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake... and great hail...") Scientific Composition/Makeup: Ice giant (similar to Uranus, hydrogen/helium envelope, water/ammonia/methane ices), diamond rain from methane compression under extreme pressure, winds up to 1,500 mph, dynamic rings with arcs, tilted magnetic field causing auroras. Deep blue from methane, extreme cold (–353°F). Symbolic & Prophetic Correlation: Neptune's violent storms, diamond "hail," and ring arcs symbolise massive earthquakes, thunder, lightning, and hail. The Electric Universe views Neptune as a plasma/electric storm giant (Thornhill). Gileadi: final judgments as consummation (Isaiah 24:18–20 "the foundations of the earth do shake... it shall fall, and not rise again"; Endtime Prophecy, ch. 5). Neptune, as mystical waters/deception resolved reflects "It is done" (Haggai 2:6–7) "Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations"). Footnotes: ²⁵ NASA/JPL Neptune In-Depth (accessed February 2, 2026, solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets…). Voyager 2 flyby (1989) discovered storms and diamond rain. ²⁶ Thornhill, The Electric Universe, ch. 6 (Neptune as electric storm giant). ²⁷ Gileadi, Endtime Prophecy, ch. 5 (final judgments as consummation). ²⁸ Isaiah 24:18–20; Haggai 2:6–7 (scriptures on shaking heavens/earth). Integration with End-Time Drama These correlations show planetary compositions symbolically foreshadowing vial judgments, aligning with the electric universe (plasma/electric forces causing "scorching," "blood," "darkness") and polar configuration (ancient planetary upheavals as types for end-time chaos). The 2026 multi-planet arc converges these symbols, signalling the Marred Servant's rise amid cosmic signs.

It proves your dimness perfectly; you're incapable of distinguishing twixt a voluntary strike-off and a compulsory one and are happy to invest in those who continually lose money because you can't be bothered with due diligence - you're the ideal investor for Adam 🤡

« no past with its teeth in me. Only Jenna. Her breath. Her skin. The dark mercy of being wanted. We crossed that final distance together. Afterward, we lay tangled in the dimness, both of us breathing hard, our bodies slowly returning from wherever they had gone. Jenna’s »

beyond the obv 256gb, i hope the next macbook pro can go darker than the current lowest screen dimness

Just as the wedding reaches its climax, a dazzling galaxy girl streaks down from the sky and asks a man to marry her. Chapter 24 A galaxy girl passing by At that moment, a dazzling beam of light sliced through the cave entrance like a silver blade, cutting the dimness in two. Everyone instinctively squeezed their eyes shut. The light descended gracefully into the center of the cave, softening until it coalesced into the figure of a tall, slender young woman glowing with gentle silver radiance. Humans, hello, she said, her voice clear and melodic like starlight on still water. Don’t be afraid. You may open your eyes. As the crowd slowly peeked, they saw her standing there—ethereal yet solid, like living moonlight given form. I am a passing galaxy girl, she announced with a playful smile. I happened to spot your wedding while streaking across the sky and thought: why not drop in and join the fun? She bowed elegantly toward Zane and Enzyme. Blessings to the newlyweds. May your love burn brighter than any star. Then she turned, eyes sparkling with mischief, toward the man who had shouted earlier. Didn’t someone just say he wanted a bride? Well? Are you brave enough to marry me? The man opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He stayed glued to his seat, thinking: She’s stunning… but she’s a galaxy girl. Here today, gone tomorrow. What if she vanishes one day? How am I supposed to chase a girl across the galaxy? Another man stood up instead, speaking with sincere respect: Miss, you are a galaxy girl—beautiful, free, and boundless. We are merely creatures of flesh and blood. We need to eat together, sleep together, raise children, and bicker over whose turn it is to do the dishes. Our lives are small and ordinary. You deserve a partner who can keep up with you among the stars. The soft glow around the galaxy girl dimmed just a little. She let out a quiet sigh, but her smile remained warm and genuine. What I want is simple, she said. A partner. No matter where he comes from or what he is made of. Right now, I just want real love—the kind where we can live together, day after day. She raised her ten fingers gracefully. Countless tiny snowflake-like sparks drifted down like delicate wedding confetti. When they landed on people’s tongues, they tasted impossibly sweet, like the thinnest, most magical sugar frost. The galaxy girl laughed, bright and clear. I’ve scattered wedding sweets for everyone! If any of you ever want to count stars, chase comets, or wander the galaxy with me… just call my name. I’ll come streaking back in a heartbeat. With that, she spun around and transformed into a brilliant silver-white streak of light, gliding toward the cave entrance. Right before disappearing, she playfully flung another handful of glowing dots over everyone’s heads—like a cheeky personal galaxy shower just for them. Only after the last spark faded did the cave fall silent. The man who hadn’t dared to stand finally lowered his head, his voice thick with regret: I… I feel like an idiot. I disappointed a girl who genuinely wanted to love someone. Turns out I’m not just ordinary—I’m narrow-minded too. The cave stayed quiet for a few seconds. O waved his hand with a tired chuckle. Wedding’s over. Everyone go home and rest. Some of us clearly need to sleep on their life choices tonight. Ignis looked around but couldn’t find Zane and Enzyme anywhere. She shook her head, shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and muttered to herself as she walked out alone: Those two slipped away so fast… Can’t even wait until they get back to start making little human, huh? Enjoyed the story? Like & repost. Thank you!

Idk why no one ever brings up the fact that the reason the ocarina of time 3ds version is brighter is because it was designed to be played on a tiny 3 inch screen that would obscure the visuals through dimness and/or 3d. It does not come off as too bright while playing lol

Actually your dimness is to blame...

Wait.. do you think that plaza where they show the game holds more than THE ARENA?!?!? My bad, didn’t know the dimness I was working with here. Carry on champ. Don’t hurt yourself trying to think

< @judgecuts She slept well past dawn, into the glow of the summer afternoon. Warm rays streamed through the room's tall window, its shutters thrown open to the afternoon light. They cut through the dimness and fell across her at just the right angle, crowning her head in a >
