Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Brother Mythos - April 14, 2024, 08:06:17 PMThe Republicult's™ adoration of TFG is a truly amazing thing. In reality, here's a guy who's a nepo baby, a sociopath, a pathological liar, a malignant narcissist, a serial draft dodger, a career white-collar criminal, a rapist, and an insurrectionist. And, that's not even a complete, repugnant list of his obvious character flaws. Yet, despite all that, some in the cult still go as far as to compare him to JFC.
In truth, if there were a Con Artists' Hall of Fame, TFG would be nominated, and elected to full membership on the very first ballot. After all, TFG makes Charles Ponzi look like a dilettante. Anyway, it just occurred to me that Peter's Placebo, a term originally coined by Dr. Laurence J. Peter of The Peter Principle fame, clearly explains TFG popularity within the Republicult™. And so, here is Peter's Placebo:
"An ounce of image is worth a pound of performance."

Last post by Brother Mythos - April 14, 2024, 02:07:16 PMApparently, absolutely nothing is off-limits, or even sacred to AI.
"AI-generated pornography will disrupt the adult content industry and raise new ethical concerns"
As per this article:
"Artificial intelligence (AI) is already reshaping various industries, from medicine and education to science and finance. AI is set to disrupt yet another market: pornography. Advancements in machine learning and AI algorithms for image and video production have contributed to the growth of websites for AI-generated pornography, commonly referred to as AI porn."
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer my porn to be generated by meat-based intelligences.

Last post by Brother Mythos - April 13, 2024, 09:17:13 PMFirst, the good political news:
"Tennessee lawmakers send bill to ban first-cousin marriages to governor"
And, the good political news includes some totally expected Republicult™ news:
As per this article:
"NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Republican-led Tennessee Legislature has overwhelmingly voted to send GOP Gov. Bill Lee a proposal that would ban marriage between first cousins.
The House cast a 75-2 vote Thursday on the bill after the Senate previously approved it without any opposition.
But a particularly vocal opponent, Republican Rep. Gino Bulso, took up most of the debate time, as he argued for an amendment to allow first-cousin marriages if the couple first seeks counseling from a genetic counselor.
And, as per further along in this article:
"Republican Rep. Monty Fritts was the other lawmaker to vote against the bill."
So, just another glimpse into the reality of 21st century "Merica.

(they later did rule that)

Last post by Brother Mythos - April 11, 2024, 11:17:34 AMToday is International Louie Louie Day! At least it is according to this link: International Louie Louie Day
So, of course, here's what I'm listening to today: Louie Louie - The Kingsmen {DES Stereo} 1963
Watching and listening to this video today, I once again find it truly bizarre that FBI agents were actually assigned to follow these guys around in the Establishment's quest to find obscene lyrics in the song. But then, the Establishment of the 1960s really did live in fear of the youth of that era.

I'm pretty sure those very same people also believe that Discordianism is a strange religion.
