Last post by Abbot Mythos - September 10, 2025, 11:07:58 PMConservative activist Charlie Kirk dead after being shot at university event, Trump says
As per this article:
"Kirk is a well-known gun activist and defender of the Second Amendment.
Immediately before the shooting, Kirk was taking questions for an audience member about mass shootings and gun violence."
So, to paraphrase, Kirk, who was a well-known gun activist and staunch defender of the Second Amendment, was himself Second Amendmented today, while ardently defending the Second Amendment he so loved.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: But ... but ... isn't this...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - September 08, 2025, 11:04:47 PMObviously, this meeting was not called, or run by Discordians, as MAL-2 warned the faithless about the dangers of praying:
Arkansas Farmers Pray To God & Trump To Save Them
Hundreds of struggling Arkansas farmers are pleading with the federal government to provide emergency funding amid a farm economy crisis.
And, as if praying to the POSOTUS isn't bad enough, these self-righteous hypocrites now want the government they've consistently voted to shrink to a size that could be dragged into the bathroom and drowned in the bathtub to now rise up and save them from themselves. Oh, where oh where is their unshakable faith in the virtues of soulless, take-no-prisoners, laissez-faire, let-the-buyer-beware Capitalism now? Isn't this passel of parasites *gasp* praying to be afflicted with an unpardonable sin of Dread Socialism?!
So, I wonder, what will these same fuckers be praying to, and for, next? Will it be for Socialized Medicine to come and save their soon to be closing rural hospitals from their worshiped messiah's Billionaire's Big Bonus Bill?!

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Abbot Mythos - September 02, 2025, 08:46:30 PMI'd been hoping for an opportunity to post a link to an article with this title, and this afternoon I found one:
Jeanine Pirro Couldn't Even Indict A Ham Sandwich
As per this article:
"Trump supporters have been using the phrase coined by Chief Justice of New York's Supreme Court Sol Wachtler when he said, "any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich," to defend Trump's many misdeeds and criminality, but apparently, the former Fox News host failed to do so."
I'm beginning to wonder if it's even possible to find and hire legitimate college graduates who are more incompetent than all of these very popular Fox News Media "personalities."

Last post by Nibor the Priest - September 02, 2025, 03:37:34 PMOoh, another one! From the 15th-century French manuscript Épître d'Othéa:
This one reminds me of Quentin Blake's illustrations of Roald Dahl's stories.

Principia Discussion / Re: Eris in classical art
Last post by Nibor the Priest - September 02, 2025, 03:22:10 PMI stumbled upon a couple more Erises yesterday via La Fontaine's Fables, which is a 17th-century collection of cloying French morality poems. One of the poems, number XX, features Eris (Discord), in what seems to be an "Are the straights OK?" type anecdote where Eris, cast out of Olympus, finds permanent refuge in the temple of Hymen, god of marriage, because hahahaha the old ball and chain am I right??
Anyway, this has been published in at least two illustrated editions: once in French in 1868, illustrated by JJ Grandville (1803-1847) (I'm not sure how those dates add up)...
Eris guides a happy couple through some consensual activity
...and once in an 1886 English translation by Walter Thornbury, illustrated by Gustave Doré (1832-1883) (what is it with these guys and dead illustrators?)
Meh.
In 1879, Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) was commissioned to create painted illustrations of the Fables, and his Eris (La Discorde, 1880) is one of the more flattering pre-Malaclyptic images.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Resistance 2.0!
Last post by Abbot Mythos - August 31, 2025, 09:38:39 PMQuote from: Pergamos on August 31, 2025, 07:03:20 PMThe question is, would his replacement be more competent? Vance is certainly a more compliant puppet for the oligarchs, but he doesn't have anywhere near the charisma of the orange turd.Yes, that is the question.
And, following is another quotation from the same article I originally quoted above:
"Now imagine if Trump succumbed to his health problems tomorrow and JD Vance became President. He's a bumbler for certain. But he's not senile. He's not lumbering around like a corpse. Vance would get a honeymoon period from the media. It would take time for us to force Vance's sandals [sic] and extremism into the national conversation even as the media tried to normalize him. And during that time, Vance and the Republicans would accomplish a whole lot of evil."
I have no doubt the MSM, in addition to the MAGAt Media (MM), would happily give Vance a honeymoon period. And, depending upon the timing between now and the 2026 elections, that honeymoon period would probably have catastrophic consequences on our chances of taking the power of the House of Representatives, and possibly even the Senate, away from the Republicult™.
Now, I, personally, believe that Vance is a lying phony. But, I also believe that, like the current POSOTUS he willingly serves, he's in it for the money. And, that makes Vance extremely dangerous.
