Techmology and Scientism / Re: Ancient Astronomy
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Today at 10:19:11 AMHalley's Comet Discovered 600 Years Earlier by an 11th-Century Monk, Study Finds
As per this article:
"For more than three centuries, Halley's Comet has been synonymous with the British astronomer Edmond Halley, who famously calculated its periodic return in the early modern era. However, new interdisciplinary research suggests that the comet's cycle was already understood nearly 600 years earlier by an English monk living in medieval Britain. According to findings supported by Leiden University, the true pioneer behind the comet's recurring pattern may have been Eilmer of Malmesbury, an 11th-century Benedictine monk and chronicler."
Okay, the Middle Ages isn't ancient ancient, but recognizing Haley's Comet's return cycle nearly 600 years before Halley is still a noteworthy accomplishment.

Last post by Mandelbrot Slapper - Today at 06:46:00 AMThere needs to be a lot more of this.
In Nazi Germany the two strongest forces of resistance to the Brownshirts were the jazz fans. Jazz was one of the first things the one balled arsehole banned as it was black music. (Echoes of this in the Bad Bunny fiasco at the Super bowl) Kids took wind up gramophones to parks & beaches to dance in overt acts of public rebellion. They fought running battles with Hitler Youth & SA units. Often utilising those gramophones as weapons.
Florida kids have taken up the cudgel. Don't be like the German parents were & let them stand alone against tyranny.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Regarding 'Merica's Actual...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Yesterday at 11:05:51 PMNovember 7th, 2028 is a long way off, and a lot is going to happen between now and the U.S. Presidential Election. But, at the time of this posting, I think James Carville knows what he's talking about:
The Democrat James Carville thinks is worth watching in 2028 will surprise you
"Carville says Kamala Harris 'has no chance' in 2028 Democratic primary"
As per this article:
"Asked about whether he could see Harris as the party's standard-bearer in 2028, Carville responded, "She has no chance."
Harris replaced then-President Joe Biden as the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee after Biden dropped his bid in July of that year, a month after a disastrous debate performance against Trump. Harris ended up losing the general election to Trump, who narrowly swept all seven key battleground states.
"No Democrat wants anything to do with anybody that had anything to do with 2024," Carville emphasized, as he reasoned why Harris couldn't win the 2028 nomination. He also questioned whether Harris, the nation's first female and first Black vice president, had the ability to energize the Black community if she launched another White House run.
Carville said that the Democrats' mantra heading into 2028 is "just win," and argued that "if we nominate two white males, nobody's going to give a s---.""
And, I couldn't agree more.

Last post by Doktor Howl - Yesterday at 02:52:08 AMQuote from: Faust on February 02, 2026, 09:12:24 PMThe biggest threats you should be paying attention to are not book bans, the Epstein files, or ICE intimidation tactics.
In November, a video circulated reminding members of the armed services that they must not follow illegal orders, and that they are legally obligated to refuse them under long-established precedent.
Trump responded with a meltdown. He called for hangings, branded them traitors, and demanded imprisonment.
The armed services are the government's license to enforce authority. They are not his. They are yours. They belong to the people.
Showing outrage at a military refusing the whims of a ruler, and I mean "dictator" in the textbook sense of unchecked authority, signals an intent to use that force outside the law and against the people themselves.
That is a direct challenge to the presidency as a representative office. It is the language of a ruler, not an elected servant. Your own Caesar moment.
He can pull other levers of government and flood the field with distractions, but if the authority of the people is challenged this way again, it must be shut down immediately and without ambiguity. This is not acceptable.
There is nothing wrong right now that can't be fixed with shipping containers. My patented two step process.
But the problem is that America isn't serious about having a good time.

This cunt's gonna make PolPot seem like an eccentric high school teacher who let his hobby farm got a bit out of hand.I'll bet a lot of Second Amendment worshiping gun fondlers are wondering what Saint Charlie of the Mass School Shootings would do, besides trying to make a buck off of the situation, since the Turd Reich has publicly gone less that 100% uncompromising about their sacred gun rights. Now, I know the gun fondlers will, of course, spend even more of their money on more guns and more ammo. But, the poor little guys have to be feeling uneasy right now.

Last post by Mandelbrot Slapper - February 02, 2026, 03:06:24 AMGermany's signalling they'll boycott the World Cup. Scandinavians have started to recall that they're Vikings & talking about the regional alliance they'll form when the North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation crumbles. Today the Mango Madman announced he's closing the Kennedy Center (Sorry the Trump/Kennedy Center). Bibles are replacing biology textbooks again in public schools way down south in Dixie. Libraries are being defunded to the degree that they've outstripped fucking Goebbels in the book burning stakes 11 people are confirmed to have been summarily executed in Main Street USA & they admit to 40 detainees being "missing" in the system. Not deported, not released & no longer in custody.
Thus far only between 5-8% of the people who have been detained by ICE have any kind of a criminal record.
Does anyone still believe you're voting your way out of this shit show in the Midterms when Dems in the House have just voted again to continue ICE funding?

Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 26, 2026, 05:12:02 AMQuote from: Abbot Mythos on January 25, 2026, 04:12:38 AMNow, regarding AI, I've noticed a new, definite, AI generated trend on YouTube over the past few months. I have yet to run across a word that accurately describes this trend. Nor, have I attempted to invent a new word to describe it.I found the word I was looking for, so I don't have to invent a new one. And, it appears this new word found its way into the internet vocabulary sometime in
And so, without further ado, the new word is boomerslop.
