TIL therapists/psychologists have categorized common individual attachment styles in relationships. I never thought about this before but makes sense. https://i.nostr.build/Mtx2pXpjfjYkAS2y.jpg
Annie Jacobson has an explanation for it from a deathbed confession from the guy who wired the first atomic bombs. It’s pretty wild. It’s in her area 51 book.
The child-sized aviators in this craft [that crashed in New Mexico] were the result of a Soviet human experimentation program, and they had been made to look like aliens a la Orson Welles' War of the Worlds, and it was a warning shot over President Truman's bow, so to speak. In 1947, when this would have originally happened, the Soviets did not yet have the nuclear bomb, and Stalin and Truman were locked in horns with one another, and Stalin couldn't compete in nuclear weaponry yet, but he certainly could compete in the world of black propaganda — and that was his aim, according to my source. ...
"What is firsthand information is that he worked with these bodies [of the pilots] and he was an eyewitness to the horror of seeing them and working with them. Where they actually came from is obviously the subject of debate. But if you look at the timeline with Josef Mengele, he left Auschwitz in January of 1945 and disappeared for a while, and the suggestion by the source is that Mengele had already cut his losses with the Third Reich at that point and was working with Stalin."
On why the Soviets would have undertaken such a hoax
"The plan, according to my source, was to create panic in the United States with this belief that a UFO had landed with aliens inside of it. And one of the most interesting documents is the second CIA director, Walter Bedell Smith, memos back and forth to the National Security Council talking about how the fear is that the Soviets could make a hoax against America involving a UFO and overload our early air-defense warning system, making America vulnerable to an attack."
Later in one of her lex interviews she revealed her source to be the guy who wired the original manhatten project bombs only after he died. Seems like a legit source.
discovered a hidden feature in fantastical. you can timeblock reminder tasks by adding [30m] to them. reminder tasks don't have end dates like calendar events do, but when you add this fantastical allows you to resize them.
so now I can share github issues to the reminders app, and timeblock them in my calendar. There's a little checkbox in the calendar that I can click to mark them as done.
timeblocking ftw
