Nope. We're fucked.

Apple Talk / Re: America Year Zero
Last post by Faust - February 02, 2026, 09:12:24 PMThe biggest threats you should be paying attention to are not book bans, the Epstein files, or ICE intimidation tactics.
In November, a video circulated reminding members of the armed services that they must not follow illegal orders, and that they are legally obligated to refuse them under long-established precedent.
Trump responded with a meltdown. He called for hangings, branded them traitors, and demanded imprisonment.
The armed services are the government's license to enforce authority. They are not his. They are yours. They belong to the people.
Showing outrage at a military refusing the whims of a ruler, and I mean "dictator" in the textbook sense of unchecked authority, signals an intent to use that force outside the law and against the people themselves.
That is a direct challenge to the presidency as a representative office. It is the language of a ruler, not an elected servant. Your own Caesar moment.
He can pull other levers of government and flood the field with distractions, but if the authority of the people is challenged this way again, it must be shut down immediately and without ambiguity. This is not acceptable.

This cunt's gonna make PolPot seem like an eccentric high school teacher who let his hobby farm got a bit out of hand.I'll bet a lot of Second Amendment worshiping gun fondlers are wondering what Saint Charlie of the Mass School Shootings would do, besides trying to make a buck off of the situation, since the Turd Reich has publicly gone less that 100% uncompromising about their sacred gun rights. Now, I know the gun fondlers will, of course, spend even more of their money on more guns and more ammo. But, the poor little guys have to be feeling uneasy right now.

Apple Talk / America Year Zero
Last post by Mandelbrot Slapper - February 02, 2026, 03:06:24 AMGermany's signalling they'll boycott the World Cup. Scandinavians have started to recall that they're Vikings & talking about the regional alliance they'll form when the North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation crumbles. Today the Mango Madman announced he's closing the Kennedy Center (Sorry the Trump/Kennedy Center). Bibles are replacing biology textbooks again in public schools way down south in Dixie. Libraries are being defunded to the degree that they've outstripped fucking Goebbels in the book burning stakes 11 people are confirmed to have been summarily executed in Main Street USA & they admit to 40 detainees being "missing" in the system. Not deported, not released & no longer in custody.
Thus far only between 5-8% of the people who have been detained by ICE have any kind of a criminal record.
Does anyone still believe you're voting your way out of this shit show in the Midterms when Dems in the House have just voted again to continue ICE funding?

Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 26, 2026, 05:12:02 AMQuote from: Abbot Mythos on January 25, 2026, 04:12:38 AMNow, regarding AI, I've noticed a new, definite, AI generated trend on YouTube over the past few months. I have yet to run across a word that accurately describes this trend. Nor, have I attempted to invent a new word to describe it.I found the word I was looking for, so I don't have to invent a new one. And, it appears this new word found its way into the internet vocabulary sometime in
And so, without further ado, the new word is boomerslop.

Apple Talk / Re: I Learned a New Word Today
Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 25, 2026, 04:12:38 AMFor what it's worth, I stated this new topic with the intent of occasionally utilizing it to post about other words and phrases that are new to me, and that just may be interesting enough to be worthy of discussion. And, of course, other forum members are welcome to utilize this new topic for the same purpose.
Now, regarding AI, I've noticed a new, definite, AI generated trend on YouTube over the past few months. I have yet to run across a word that accurately describes this trend. Nor, have I attempted to invent a new word to describe it. But, on my 'sign in' YouTube 'page,' I'm getting bombarded with crap, AI generated videos trying to pass themselves off as 'historical documentaries.' At first, the narration alone gave away that the videos are AI generated, because of the unnatural, awkward cadence. Then, shortly after that, I began seeing videos that don't even contain readily obtainable, public domain photographs of historical figures. But, the worst thing about all of this AI generated crap is the intentional bias. That is, if I dislike a well known historical figure, there are plenty of AI generated videos out there that will cater to my bias.
So, okay, it was fun for a while to be presented with large numbers of videos that support, and reinforce my opinions. But, what if my opinions are unjustified? What if a bias of mine is no more than a bias of mine? What if I had never learned any critical thinking skills? To me, this new AI generated video trend is pretty scary stuff.

Sure I could me mad at the platforms & tech oligarch's pushing short form AI slop out to maximise profits. But that's what they do.
The consumer is totally responsible however for not resisting the fuck out of their algorithmic cuntfuckery.
But they don't because they're all living in Dumbfuckistan now...and that was a choice.

Apple Talk / I Learned a New Word Today
Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 24, 2026, 04:08:29 AMI learned a new word today:
'Doomscrolling' now Britain's top habit – but least enjoyable
"Previous research found connection between 'doomscrolling' and feelings of existential anxiety, despair, distrust, and suspicion of others"
As per this article:
"Browsing social media or "doomscrolling" has ranked as Britons' least enjoyable pastime, despite it being the one people engage in most often, a new study has claimed.
After surveying more than 2,000 people, researchers from the University of Sussex found that scrolling social media was the most frequent leisure activity, but it was also considered to be the least favourite."
Surprisingly, this word does not yet have an entry in The Free Dictionary, my go-to source for definitions.
But, Wikipedia describes Doomscrolling as follows:
"Doomscrolling or doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of time watching short-form content or watching large quantities of user-generated content or news, particularly negative news, on the web and social media."

Techmology and Scientism / Re: Weekly Science Headlines
Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 23, 2026, 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!
