Literate Chaotic / Re: Avoiding the trap
Last post by chaotic neutral observer - February 23, 2026, 01:38:32 PMMouse #126 bleeds out. At -20 C, the blood freezes almost instantly, preserving the colour. It leaves a bright red stain on the concrete.
The mice of winter have long, thick fur. This one has frozen solid, and snaps in two as I work it free from the trap. I try not to look at the remains. I toss the pieces into the back alley, an offering to the neighbourhood corvids...or whatever else might happen along.

That's general to the point of being useless. Checking all beliefs is a waste of mental resources. I use this specific mental tripwire to catch myself when people say things I agree with.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Money Can't Buy Class - Ex...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 22, 2026, 06:32:25 AMThe topic of this article affects all of us. And, of course, we'll get to see how this plays out in the coming weeks. However, that's not the main reason I posted this article here:
Can Trump still impose tariffs after the Supreme Court ruling?
"The case is the first major challenge to Trump's policy agenda, but the US president still has other legal avenues to pursue trade restrictions."
As per this article:
"Trump criticised the ruling, arguing that presidents should have sweeping trade authority.
"I can destroy the trade, can destroy the country. I can do anything I want," he said."
Now, at this point in his second scandalous, treasonous term, I'm not at all surprised the POSOTUS publicly made this statement.
Still, I am surprised this has received so little coverage in the MSM, and minimal to no coverage at all in the Partisan Liberal Media (PLM). And so, we''ll see what happens later this Sunday, when the professional talking heads, and spin doctors put on their costumes and makeup, and grace us with their choreographed performances. But, I'm not optimistic we'll see any real pushback.

Well ... pardon the interruption. I'm off to the supermarket for more popcorn. Carry on.
Back in the day on PD, we had a saying about thread drift.
No, it ended with "happens".
Because by that point, any continuing conversation was better than the usual alternative.

High Weirdness / Re: The Illuminati in the News
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 21, 2026, 05:10:28 AMThis recent article appears to have been written by someone who is not a faculty member at St. Augustine's University:
Black Eyes Illuminati: Unveiling the Secrets Behind the Conspiracy
As per this article:
"At the heart of the Black Eyes Illuminati narrative lies a symbol repeatedly described as an almond-shaped emblem tinged with shifting red and black hues—often interpreted as a representation of dual perception: seeing beyond illusion and into hidden truths. While mainstream historians assure these motifs appear in symbolic art and secret societies broadly, proponents of the conspiracy claim this imagery marks a formal, hierarchical grouping operating beyond public scrutiny—a brotherhood cloaked in ritual and exclusivity. According to insider narratives circulating in esoteric circles, the group's cohesion rests on oaths sworn in darkness, loyalty tested through secrecy, and a strict ascending structure designed to preserve ancient knowledge."
And, further along in this article:
"- Fact-checking challenges: No verifiable membership or agenda, fueling both scholarly scrutiny and public fascination. The Black Eyes Illuminati remains less a proven secret order than a compelling narrative thread woven through conspiracy culture. Whether myth, metaphor, or shadow network, its story reveals far more about human perception, systemic distrust, and the enduring allure of hidden truths—proving that sometimes, the most potent conspiracies are those we choose to believe."
Now, this is the first I've heard of "The Black Eyes Illuminati." Apparently, I didn't get the memo from "The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria (A.I.S.B.) - the World's Oldest and Most Successful Conspiracy." So, they've got some 'splainin' to do, the next time they come around looking for their "percentage."
