Principia Discussion / Re: Have a Cool Chaosflux!
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 19, 2026, 03:25:31 AMIn this Season of Chaos, 'tis the time of the first Flux Holyday of the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192. And, once again, that ol' Hodge and Podge, Eristic and Aneristic, Yin and Yang, Dark and Light, Dry and Moist, Rim and Ram, Jim and Jam, etc. thing is beginning to happen.
So, as this season slowly winds down, chill out for the day, and use it to prepare yourselves for what is likely to be a memorable, historic Season of Discord.
Hail Eris!
All Hail Discordia!

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 17, 2026, 03:02:22 AMWARNING: ARTICLE CONTAINS PHOTOS YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO UNSEE!
Here's a man wise enough to have learned from the mistakes of other contractors who have worked for the POSOTUS, and his Republicult™ worshipers:
'It's not leaving until they pay me': sculptor holds Trump statue hostage
"Alan Cottrill created an 18ft bronze capturing the moment the president survived an assassination attempt. He says his patrons aren't paying up"
As per this article:
"In a foundry in the hills of Ohio lies a colossal bronze statue of President Trump that was recently coated in gold on the orders of a consortium of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs.
It is a work of art by the sculptor Alan Cottrill showing Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, standing and punching the air moments after he survived a would-be-assassin's bullet.
It is also a hostage.
"They said: 'Oh don't worry Alan, we'll pay you, we'll pay you,'" Cottrill said of his patrons, a group of 16 cryptocurrency enthusiasts who commissioned the statue to honour President Trump.
But just as Michelangelo sometimes found himself funding the redecoration of the Sistine Chapel, Cottrill feels he has been carrying the cost of an enormous sculpture of Trump."
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Only Republican Disqualified From Senate Race in Democrat-Led State
As per this article:
"New Mexico will have no Republican on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race after GOP candidate Christopher Vanden Heuvel was disqualified for failing to submit enough valid signatures to qualify, New Mexico's secretary of state press team told Newsweek."
And, as per further along in this article:
""I am writing to inform you that you did not qualify as a candidate for the office of United States Senator, pursuant to the express requirements of the New Mexico Election Code," a letter obtained by Newsweek signed by Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver sent to Heuvel.
The letter continued, "To qualify as a candidate for this office, a prospective candidate must submit a declaration of candidacy and the statutory minimum number of nominating petition signatures at the time of filing."
Oliver said that after review, the office determined that he "failed to reach the required 2,351 signatures in accordance with NMSA 1978, § 1-8-33.""
Now, perhaps requirements like this vary widely from state to state. But, requiring only 2,351 signatures to get a candidate for the U.S. Senate on a political party's ballot for their primary election sounds to me like a really low bar to jump. (Although in my state it's only 2,000 signatures, a $200 filing fee, and signatories must be members of the candidates political party.) Yet, the Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM), couldn't qualify a single candidate. Not one.
Weird, New Mexico is pretty purple.

Barack Obama Says Aliens 'Are Real', but Not in Area 51
As per this article:
"The exchange occurred during a "lightning round" portion of Cohen's interview, where the journalist prefaced his question by noting the rare opportunity to speak with a president of the United States. Cohen asked directly: "Are aliens real?"
Obama's response was immediate and unequivocal: "They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in, what is it—"
Cohen interjected: "Area 51?"
"Area 51," Obama confirmed. "There's no underground facility, unless there's this enormous CONSPIRACY (Emphasis mine), and they hid it from the president of the United States."
Cohen then asked what the first question Obama wanted answered when he became president. Without hesitation, Obama replied: "Where are the aliens?"
The exchange ended with laughter from both men as Cohen repeated, "Where are the aliens?"
And, never let it be said that Former President Barack Hussein Obama doesn't have a sense of humor.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 14, 2026, 04:09:12 PMFebruary 14, 1929 - 'Merican Organized Crime Committed the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre
Seven members and associates of Chicago's North Side Gang were murdered in a garage, with 'Merica's iconic Thompson submachine guns, and a shotgun.
The murders have been widely attributed to the Chicago Outfit, headed by Al Capone. However, although several investigations took place, and suspects were arrested, no one was ever charged, or convicted for committing this brazen, high profile, criminal act.
Happy Valentine's Day.

Techmology and Scientism / Re: Weekly Science Headlines
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 12, 2026, 10:29:32 AMA century of hair shows how lead exposure collapsed
"A century of human hair shows just how dramatically lead exposure fell after leaded gas was banned."
As per this article:
"Before the Environmental Protection Agency was formed in 1970, lead pollution was a routine part of daily life across the United States. It came from factories, lead-based paint, drinking water pipes, and most of all from vehicle exhaust. Lead is a toxic metal that builds up in the body over time and has been linked to learning and developmental problems in children. As environmental rules tightened in the decades that followed, lead in the environment dropped sharply, and human exposure declined with it."
And, here's the link to the original paper the above article is based upon:
Lead in archived hair documents a decline in lead exposure to humans since the establishment of the US Environmental Protection Agency
Getting lead additives out of gasoline was a major undertaking by the EPA, back in the day. And, I'm not 100% certain the current administration would have the will, yet alone the interest, in doing so today, if the problem were only recently identified. Anyway, in my state, the lead pollution from a single Exide Technologies lead-acid battery manufacturing plant in Laureldale/Reading, PA is so extensive that it has still not been completely remediated, even though cleanup work first started in 1988.
Last, the above article reminded me of what some historians believe excessive lead exposure did to the Roman Empire a couple of millennia ago. Here's a link to a summary of that theory, if anyone's interested:
Roman lead poisoning theory
