Principia Discussion / Re: 'Tis the Season of The Aft...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Today at 12:06:14 AM'Tis the beginning of the fifth and final season of the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3191.
And yet, it doesn't feel like the aftermath of this chaotic year will end with the end with the season. So, once again, I'm hoping, but not praying, that our Blessed Goddess Eris willing, we'll have something to celebrate before the end of this year. (I make the distinction between hoping and praying, 'cause MAL-2 clearly warned Erisians about the probable, dangerous consequences of praying. Be careful out there.)
Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Of course, no one could even imagine books being outlawed and burned in the U.S. of A. in 2025, and especially not in the freedumb lovin' state of Floriduh. After all, that's purely the stuff of fiction.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 18, 2025, 05:02:11 PMAfter three (3) failed attempts to indict "a ham sandwich" on felony charges, Jeanine Pirro bypassed the grand jury process altogether, and settled for a charge of misdemeanor simple assault. Then this happened:
Trump Ally Jeanine Pirro Dealt Major Legal Blow
As per this article:
"U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan sanctioned the prosecution by striking a government witness due to discovery violations. Judge Sooknanan further criticized the conduct of Assistant U.S. Attorney Travis Wolfe and expressed frustration with the government's management of evidence and witnesses, WUSA reported.
During grand jury testimony, Liang said Reid was the first to make contact, but Sooknanan said video evidence showed that wasn't true on Wednesday, according to the news station.
Tezira Abe, the public defender representing Reid, told the jury they should be "livid that the government brought this case," WUSA reported."
So, more proof that competence is not a requirement for appointment to a high profile, paying job in the Turd Reich.
What did surprise me, however, is the it didn't take a high priced lawyer for Ms. Sidney Lori Reid to beat the rap. It was done by a public defender.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Big Beautiful 2025 US ...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 18, 2025, 04:13:52 AMThis is an interesting development:
GOP senators worry about Trump, Hegseth shutdown moves
As per this article:
"Republican senators have questions and concerns about how President Trump is managing to pay more than 1 million military service members during the government shutdown and are seeking more information about what funds he is dipping into to achieve his political ends.
Republican lawmakers are glad that active members of the military and their families around the country didn't miss their first paychecks of the shutdown on Oct. 15, but they're frustrated that Trump once again appears to be trampling on Congress's power of the purse."
Now, as per Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the the Constitution of the United States:
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."
So, it would be nice if GOP Jesus Johnson also took an interest in preserving "Congress's power of the purse," since that's what our Founding Fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution of the United States back in 1787.

Aneristic Illusions / Regarding 'Merica's Actual Old...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 17, 2025, 07:26:20 PMThe only surprise to me is that this news is breaking three (3) years prior to the 2028 elections:
John Fetterman faces party plot to kick him to the curb
As per this article:
"Top Pennsylvania Democrats are quietly gearing up for a political showdown three years out.
According to a new report, party officials are laying the groundwork to challenge Sen. John Fetterman in a 2028 primary, frustrated by his increasingly public break with the party line."
I notified The Pennsylvania Democratic Party, back in March, that I would not be voting for Genocide John again under any circumstances. And, I suggested they begin searching for a more suitable candidate to represent them in 2028. It appears I am far from being the only one dissatisfied with his job performance.

High Weirdness / Re: Will NASA Diminish the UFO...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 17, 2025, 04:19:23 PMIt's been all quiet on the UFO Front for most of this year. But, I'm starting to see references to this July article on the internet again:
Could the latest 'interstellar comet' be an alien probe? Why spotting cosmic visitors is harder than you think
As per this article:
"Our first assumption when we see something in space is that it's a lump of rock or ice. But the strange properties of 3I/ATLAS have suggested to some that it may be something else entirely.
Harvard astrophysics professor Avi Loeb and colleagues last week uploaded a paper titled Is the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Alien Technology? to the arXiv preprint server. (The paper has not yet been peer reviewed.)
Loeb is a controversial figure among astronomers and astrophysicists. He has previously suggested that the first known interstellar object, 1I/ʻOumuamua, discovered in 2017, may also have been an alien craft.
Among other oddities Loeb suggests may be signs of deliberate alien origin, he notes the orbit of 3I/ATLAS takes it improbably close to Venus, Mars and Jupiter."
So, wacky, zany, professor Loeb, and his little friends, are at it again. But, that's okay, I need a distraction from what the POSOTUS and his Republicult™ are doing to humanity.
Oh, and here's the link to their arXiv paper: Is the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS alien technology?
But, I would have given their paper a different title. I think "Are Space Aliens Throwing Really Big Snowballs at Planet Earth?" would have been better clickbait.

Once, as a dumb schoolkid, I read somewhere that humans were sensitive to flashing lights at certain frequencies, so I programmed my Apple IIgs to flash pink at 13 Hz.
It was nausea-inducing, bloody awesome, and I didn't do it again.

Fortunately I think they're rushing that a bit. All the MAGAts I've talked to are still opposed to nazis, and the KKK.
