Principia Discussion / Re: Merry Fucking Maladay
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 24, 2025, 02:11:59 AMYes, o ye of fickle faith, it's that time again! It's Maladay, the fifth day of The Aftermath, in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3191.
And, that means it's once again time to remember and celebrate The Elder Malaclypse (MAL-1), a Non-Prophet, and the Patron and namesake of Malaclypse the Younger (MAL-2).
Now, the Elder Malaclypse is mostly remembered for wandering around really, really, old cities, while bearing signs. (There's nothing recorded about MAL-1 flipping, spinning, twirling, or waving the signs. But, it's unlikely that, back in the day, all that many people knew how to read his signs anyway.) That, of course, and being the harbinger of the easily avoided Erisian Eschatology. (And that, boys and girls, is why Discordianism is one of the most user friendly religions on the face of the Earth.)
Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Last post by chaotic neutral observer - October 24, 2025, 12:25:46 AMNot sure how they're going to blame the destruction of the east wing on Obama, but, whatev. It's a minor incident in the context of what is happening to the population at large.
Pity about the historical architecture though.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 22, 2025, 05:47:30 AMOctober 22, 1844 - The Great Disappointment - Millerites' Were Wrong About the Second Coming
Then, they changed their minds, and decided it was actually the start for J.C.'s final work of atonement, the cleansing in the heavenly sanctuary, leading up to the Second Coming.
Well ... what with all of that "perfection stuff" I'd beenforce-fed taught as a boy, I'm kind of surprised the place got so messy in the first place. But, I guess those Millerites were really into their deities making dramatic entrances.
Now, our own Blessed Goddess Eris, except for that Original Snub incident, comes and goes whenever and wherever she wants. And, while I don't know for certain, I'm pretty sure Divine Goddess Eris just leaves all of that cleansing stuff up to her Holy Household Help.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Civilian Gun Violence in '...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 21, 2025, 05:56:53 PMHere are some 'Merican civilian gun violence statistics I did not know:
America's gun violence epidemic hits particularly hard in Mississippi
"The Hospitality State accounts for half of the 10 U.S. counties with the highest gun homicide rates. Nine deaths after homecoming games last week cast new light on the crisis."
As per this article:
"Nick Wilson, who works as the senior director of gun violence prevention for the Center for American Progress (CAP), told me Tuesday, "Even for me, it was very surprising to see just how much Mississippi and other kind of more rural places top the list" of places with the worst gun homicide rates. Wilson was referring to a list CAP put together using data from hospitals and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The left-leaning think tank found that of the 20 U.S. counties with the highest "annualized gun homicide rate" between 2021 and 2024, 11 counties are rural. Mississippi counties account for eight of the top 20 and five of the top 10. On that list is Washington County, where six people were killed in Leland on Friday night.
Wilson also noted that sociologist James Tuttle uses "Murder Valley" to describe an area of 21 contiguous counties that includes the cities of Memphis, Tennessee, and Jackson, Mississippi, and much of the Arkansas Delta and Mississippi Delta. If the area were its own nation, Tuttle writes, it would have the fifth-highest homicide rate in the world: better than Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Haiti, which are ranked 6th and 7th, but worse than Ecuador and South Africa, which are ranked 3rd and 4th.
"We talk so much about Illinois," Wilson said, "and Trump sending the National Guard to Chicago, but Mississippi's homicide rate is twice that of Illinois.""
Having grown up in a gun culture, and in an area more rural than what is described in this article, I am shocked by these statistics. Now, where and when I grew up, accidental shootings of the "cleaning their gun," and "not checking for people behind their target," variety were common. But, intentional homicides were extremely rare.

Principia Discussion / Re: 'Tis the Season of The Aft...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 20, 2025, 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.

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.
