Techmology and Scientism / Re: Weekly Science Headlines
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Today at 02:02:09 AMThis article caught my attention because is mentions one of the lesser celebrated escapades of Our Lady of Discord.
A hidden planet on the edge of our Solar System? Here's why scientists are closer than ever to finding it
"There could be a hidden 'planet 9' – or planet X – orbiting the Sun"
Yeah, yeah, that Planet 9 and Planet X stuff is interesting, but what really caught my attention was the following:
As per this article:
"The discovery of substantial Eris was the beginning of the end for Pluto.
It was now unavoidable: Pluto didn't appear to be the most massive object in that region of space, and certainly didn't appear to be special.
In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the authority on the definitions, characteristics and naming of bodies in the Solar System, issued their ruling.
It decreed that Pluto was not a planet but a dwarf planet, just one of many such objects in that distant patch of space (a zone known as the Kuiper Belt)."
So, to start with, Pluto/Hades never made to cut and became one of the Twelve Olympian gods and goddesses. Then, after he finally gained some worldwide recognition in 1930 by having a planet named after him, Minor Planet Eris was discovered in 2005, named in 2006, and that led to Pluto/Hades' "planet" being demoted to "minor planet status." So, Pluto/Hades' big claim to worldwide fame didn't even last a century. That has to be pretty humiliating for an immortal god. But, it really does sound like something Our Lady of Discord would orchestrate, just for the hell of it, of course.
Hail Eris!
All Hail Discordia!

High Weirdness / Re: The Florida Man Games
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Yesterday at 02:03:31 PMI missed posting about the Florida Man Games last year. But, this year's upcoming games look well organized and publicized:
The Florida Man Games @ FREEDOM Factory
"LIVE THE HEADLINES WITHOUT THE JAIL TIME"
Yes, this year the organizers have their own website to promote the games, and the events include the:
EVADING ARREST
OBSTACLE COURSE
Floridians are chased by police after stealing copper
pipes and catalytic converters. Find the frozen iguana and
chuck a gator through a drive thru window to earn a
victory and your freedom.
Actually, these games look like a really good time in the making.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 21, 2026, 10:13:08 AMThe First Americans May Not Have Crossed Beringia at All — Hokkaido Could Be the Starting Point
As per this article:
"For decades, the story of how the first humans reached the Americas has been framed around an inland migration across the frozen plains of Beringia. A growing body of archaeological and genetic evidence, however, is now challenging that long-held narrative. According to a new interdisciplinary study by Japanese and U.S. researchers, the earliest ancestors of Native Americans may have originated not in central Siberia, but in a coastal region spanning Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands—and they may have reached the Americas by sea.
The research, published in Science Advances, proposes that maritime-adapted hunter-gatherers from Northeast Asia played a decisive role in what has been called the final great migration of Homo sapiens."
The entire scientific paper, with it's boringly nondescript title this article is based upon can be found here:
Characterizing the American Upper Paleolithic
I've been seeing mentions about possibility of a coastal migration route to the Americas for many years. But, the authors of this paper have put some real effort into describing the archaeological research that supports this idea.

High Weirdness / Re: It's the Secret POSOTUS Al...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 20, 2026, 03:04:46 AMDoctor Claims Trump, 79, Suffered Serious Medical Issue
|NEW THEORY| "Concerns about the president's health have been raised for several months."
As per this article:
"Donald Trump suffered a stroke several months ago and has kept it from the public, a prominent medical expert has suggested.
Professor Bruce Davidson of Washington State University's Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine made the bombshell claim about the 79-year-old president's health while laying out "lines of evidence supportive" that have also been reported on by the Daily Beast over the past year.
"I think his stroke was on the left side of the brain, which controls the right side of the body," Davidson told biographer Sidney Blumenthal and Princeton historian Sean Wilentz on their podcast, The Court of History."
So, here's yet another theory about the deterioration of the POSOTUS' brain. The bottom line is there are experts out there who believe there is something organically wrong with the POSOTUS' brain.
And here I had been thinking malignant narcissism was way more than enough to be wrong with his brain. Silly me.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Money Can't Buy Class - Ex...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 19, 2026, 02:02:42 PMI was tempted to post this under a new topic with the title "How Not to Actually Win a Nobel Peace Prize." But, I've already started way more than enough currently active topics on the Aneristic Illusions Board, so I'll just put this right here:
Trump tells Norway PM not bound to 'think purely of peace' after Nobel snub
"Barbed message to Oslo follows Trump's bitterness over missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize he coveted."
As per this article:
"United States President Donald Trump's simmering resentment in the wake of failing to win the Nobel Peace Prize has surfaced again when he told Norway's prime minister that he no longer feels obliged to "think purely of peace".
In the message that was confirmed on Monday as being delivered to Norwegian leader Jonas Gahr Store, Trump wrote that "considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"."
It's no wonder that "Is he dead yet?" is an internationally popular meme.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 19, 2026, 02:11:19 AMQuote from: QuestionsTheSoil on January 18, 2026, 09:02:35 PMIs Plato Woke? Texas A&M professor speaks out after being banned from teaching the Greek philosopherIt's repugnant that a 'Merican university is so radical right-wing that it believes it's necessary to ban the study of a work of one of The Big Three Greek Philosophers.
Plato's Symposium has been banned from the curriculum because it addresses gender and sexuality. His theory of the Androgyne and the origin of human attraction (which includes an explanation for homosexuality) is evidently too woke.
Now I know for sure why even the Arkies I've met, who inhabited their very own cultural wasteland in the Mississippi Delta, felt culturally superior enough to make fun of the Aggies.

Apple Talk / Re: On This Day in History
Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 18, 2026, 01:17:05 AMQuote from: Pergamos on January 16, 2026, 02:32:09 PMI usually hear "crossing the rubicon" as doing a big thing, that can't be taken back. I've never heard it as specifically heroic, although sometimes it is, in context. I also don't hear it in specific context as ending a republic, or anything else about the results of the action, that's specific. it's always just a big, irrevocable, act that commits someone to a conflict in a way they can't take back.I agree with your assessment of how the phrase "crossing the Rubicon" is used by us, and what it is perceived to mean to us.
Invading Greenland would be Trump crossing the rubicon, destroying NATO and whatnot.
And, while I make no claim to be an expert in Roman history, it is an interest of mine. And, it is my understanding that the ruling class of the Late Roman Republic would have judged a general officer who had "crossed the Rubicon" at the head of his army, as Caesar famously did, to have committed an act of treason. So, without me being too long-winded about it, I believe the phrase "crossing the Rubicon" had an altogether more sinister meaning to an ancient Roman than it does to us.
For what it's worth, I only started taking an interest in Roman history, during my hitch in the Navy, after I first saw for myself some of what the Romans had built in Greece, and then a small fraction of what they had built in Italy. Before that, I thought anything "Roman" was only important to Roman Catholics and Italian Americans.

Last post by Faust - January 17, 2026, 11:03:49 PMThe reason I've always assumed he was guilty is because trump has never once used it as a negative, not now with the photos not during the cooked hillary phase, when he would latch onto basic, barely substantiated or full rumours for everyone else. it makes me think they Shared the dirt.
If hes willing to stick his dick into the girl at the office while holding the most scrutinised job in the world, he would be willing to "party" on the island.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 17, 2026, 01:39:48 PMQuote from: Faust on January 17, 2026, 10:07:44 AMThat all sounds like you are assuming Bill wasn't availing of the services on pedo islandI'm assuming that if the Turd Reich possessed any evidence that Slick Willie was a pedophile, they would have already gleefully released it to the public. But, the Turd Reich did not do that. Instead, they issued subpoenas to both Bill AND Hilary Clinton to testify before their congressional committee behind closed doors.
So yes, I am "assuming Bill wasn't availing of the services on pedo island". And, given the Turd Reich's many desperate attempts to divert attention away from Trump's many well-documented visits to "pedo island," I do not believe I am making an unreasonable assumption.
