That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Quote from: Faust on January 03, 2026, 08:38:09 PMSo you are just siezing control of countries now? Interesting take on "freedom"
It's early yet, and I thought both 'Colonialism,' and 'Imperialism' had gone out of fashion some time ago. But, I'm not 100% certain, as I was not a political science major at 'uni.' So, for right now, I'm inclined to score this one as 'Attempted Grand Larceny.'

However, that charge may need to be changed to 'Grand Larceny,' depending upon who ultimately gains control of Venezuela's massive oil reserves. Now, if the 'Merican Oil Oligarchs do end up profiting from this invasion, then I believe this will be Marco Rubio's ticket to winning the the Greedy Oligarchy Party's (GOP's) presidential primary in 2028. I write this because if there's nothing in Venezuela with Trump's name already on it, he wouldn't be able to locate the country on a map. So, I doubt His Vileness was the one who originally came up with the idea for this invasion.

(welp, half of these are now "content not viewable in my region" because Keir Starmer broke the internet)

...how did I miss this one?


The Goddess of Discord in the Garden of the Hesperides by JMW Turner, 1806. Yes, that Turner. Eris is the lady in red and white, haggling with a nymph for a suitably controversial apple. Also note the useless guard dragon on the clifftop in the background, which was supposed to keep Her out but has fallen asleep on the job.

I know it's too early to know for certain, but it's my opinion that this one has Rubio written all over it. I don't believe anyone else within the Turd Reich has the personal interest, or the attention span required to plan and carry out this level of aggression on foreign soil.

Trump'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.

January 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!

Yes, '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!

All Hail Discordia!

High Weirdness / Re: Opus Dei
Last post by Abbot Mythos - December 31, 2025, 03:28:18 PM
The 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."

Me:  "What's your new year's resolution, Lauren?"

Lauren:  "I'm gonna fuck with pRick twice as much."

Me:  *looks at Billy*

Billy:  "Yeah, I'm confirming you as lead."

This is how you build teams.  Fuck with pRick.

'Radical Left Scum.' Trump Xmas cheer greets rivals

"Trump's social media accounts posted scores of messages settling political scores for the holiday. Vladimir Putin also wished him a merry holiday."

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