Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 02, 2026, 09:08:08 AMTrump's Kennedy Post After Tatiana Schlossberg Death Sparks Anger
As per this article:
"Schlossberg, former President John F. Kennedy's granddaughter, a journalist and an author, died Tuesday aged 35 after revealing she had terminal cancer in a November 2025 New Yorker essay.
On the same evening, Trump posted a series of screenshots of other people's X posts criticizing the Kennedy family and the Kennedy Center, amid plans to change its name to the Trump-Kennedy Center."
It would have cost the vile entity nothing to have simply remained silent.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 01, 2026, 04:28:30 AMJanuary 1, 45 BC - The Julian Calendar Went into Effect
By the authority vested in his official, elected position as pontifex maximus, the chief high priest of the College of Pontiffs, Gaius Julius Caesar put into effect the Julian Calendar. This being a solar calendar, it was significantly more accurate than the Roman lunisolar calendar it replaced.
The true faithless, of course, utilize the even more accurate Discordian, or Erisian Calendar.
Hail Eris!
All Hail Discordia!

Principia Discussion / Re: 'Tis Another New Year and ...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 01, 2026, 02:04:01 AMYes, 'tis a New Year of Our Lady of Discord! 'Tis now 3192, and the first day of another Season of Chaos.
Last year was definitely memorable! But, once again, I suspect we ain't seen nothin' yet! So, I'm thinking this is a good day to kick back, and mentally and physically prepare ourselves for the near overwhelming chaos this new year is more than likely to bring.
And so, once again I recommend turning to The Book of Uterus of The Honest Book of Truth and rereading what Chapter I, Paragraphs 1 through 4 have to say about why "Everything broke loose," as it is duly documented for eternal remembrance in our first sacred scripture, the Principia Discordia.
After that, it might be a good time to visit your favorite bowling alley, and pour out a libation to Our Lady of Discord. For, as our Good Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, KSC has declared, "All bowling alleys are sacred to Discordians ...." And, while there, you might want to roll, and partake of some adult beverages yourself.
Hail Eris!

High Weirdness / Re: Opus Dei
Last post by Abbot Mythos - December 31, 2025, 03:28:18 PMThe Catholic Herald, to the surprise of no one, disagrees with the The Guardian article linked in my previous post, as follows:
The Guardian's coverage of Opus Dei treats facts as optional
This rebuttal by The Catholic Herald looks an awful lot like a long winded version of "Okay, people, move along. There's nothing to see here."

The POSOTUS just isn't into that ol' 'Goodwill to Men' meme, not even on Christmas Day.

Techmology and Scientism / Re: Weekly Science Headlines
Last post by Abbot Mythos - December 29, 2025, 05:16:12 AMNew Experiment Sees Order Emerge from Chaos
"Physicists have theorized for decades that chaos doesn't just destroy order, it can also create it. This could in turn mean that the laws of nature that make our universe the way it is could be emergent from chaos. In a recent study, physicists demonstrated order emerging chaos in an experiment. Let's take a look."
As Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder says in this video, "This means that the laws of nature which made this universe the way it is could be emergent from chaos. Much like some religious texts have it, chaos might have been the origin of quite literally everything. Physicists have so far not picked up on this idea, but I believe it could be the way forward."
And, the article in Nature > Natural Materials that this video is based upon is 'paywalled,' unless, of course, you're institutionalized. But, the earlier arXiv paper is available here: Brownian spin-locking effect
I thought about posting this as a new topic on the Principia Discussion Board, as I believe it's a really big deal. But, I've placed it here to see if anyone else agrees with my assessment. Still, I am seriously considering nominating Dr. Hossenfelder for Discordian Saint Second Class.

Principia Discussion / Re: Is Our POEE Calendar Missi...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - December 28, 2025, 05:15:03 AMMy rereading of the Cypria reminded me that the Greeks mustered at the port of Aulis not once, but twice. And, that happened because, apparently, in an invasion force of 1,000 ships, and perhaps 100,000 men, not a single sailor knew the way to the famous, immensely wealthy city of Troy. Not a single man jack one of them. Not even Odysseus, master of landways and seaways, knew how to get there.
It then occurred to me that the ancient poets and playwrights had no interest in telling a tale of a well planned invasion. They were more concerned with achieving fame and fortune by creating and maintaining a 'franchise.' And, by that I mean something like what the Batman franchise is today, with version after version of the same story, with the same principle characters, told over and over again. And so, I don't believe that mindset has changed much in 3,000 year. As long as a franchise owner(s) sees a buck in of for them, they'll never be done cranking out new versions of the same old stories.
I also realized that thinking like a project manger was not the right way to approach approximating the elapsed time between The Original Snub and the beachhead landing at Troy, as it's unlikely realism even entered the minds of those ancient poets and playwrights. For, I believe they were more interested in writing hyperbole about gods, goddesses, heroes, and epic deeds, and maintaining their 'franchise.'
Needing a different approach, I decided to further explore what Pope Mome Apocrypha had recognized. That is, that the ancient Greek calendar systems can tell us a lot. So, remembering that the lunar months of those calendar systems typically started on a full moon, and there is a wealth of free astronomical software available on the internet, I found something promising. I utilized the following software, and input calendar dates starting with October 20, 1195 BC, and worked my way back in time: Moon Phase Calculator
Now, there are a number of free software programs out there for this purpose, but this one is surprisingly sophisticated. And, what I quickly found was that there was a new moon visible from Mount Pelion on October 20, 1198 BC, Julian Calendar. So, I still need to do a careful review of the events written in the twelve (12) Epic Cycle poems between The Original Snub and the beachhead landing at Troy. But, at the time of this posting, this new date looks promising.

I Hate Doktor Howl So Much and This Makes me So Happy I Jizzed in My Pants I Hate Doktor Howl So much I came so Quick nothing brings me more joy Then Hating Doktor Howl it's The Greatest Thing To Do Wow how great it is To Hate Doktor Howl what a wow I needed That moment is worth
I am like Jesus and Bob Ross and Mr Rogers, only I hate you.
I don't even know you, and I hate you. It's like grace, only backwards. I hate you the way I'd hate my life if I was Donald Trump's dry cleaning staff or Stephen Miller's right hand. I hate you with a laser-like intensity that if viewed in person would propel you backwards in time to explode in that bag of box wine and also-ran sperm that your mother called her womb.
This is not to be taken personally. I hate just about everything and everyone; the malice isn't directed at you so much as carelessly spilled on you.
I hate bears. I hate space aliens. I hate harp seals.
You are just another facet of the crystalized piece of shit that is planet dirt.
God knows I hate stupid primates, and he put me here with 8.3 BILLION of you anyway, which is just taking the piss.
Venomously yours,
Dok
