I took a job as the facilities director at a mental hospital (who didn't see THIS coming), partly because I was getting bored, and partly because of The Thing getting loose, which severely tarnished (read: the vultures are circling) the company I was working for.
Also because I have turned over a new leaf. I am a new man (You will politely ignore that I still have a consulting side gig in the biz). No more shiny new war crimes, now I'm gonna HELP people. So everyone stop screaming.
All I have to do is recruit a certain someone away from his gig in Connecticut and this will be perfect. I start Monday.
We are going to do great things. For crazy people.
I can see this going very well, or very badly, but more likely both, at the same time, in ways that are currently hard to imagine but will be indelibly etched on our minds, once you regale us with the stories of your adventures.

Fortunately I think they're rushing that a bit. All the MAGAts I've talked to are still opposed to nazis, and the KKK.
. . . no true MAGAt . . .

DeSantis Indicates He Would Sign Ivermectin Bill Into State Law
As per this article:
"Gov. Ron DeSantis indicated on social media that he would sign a bill on the over-the-counter sale of Ivermectin if it is passed by the Florida Legislature.
"We are pushing for the Legislature to do the Ivermectin bill; I will sign it once passed," DeSantis wrote in response to an X user.
Ivermectin is a drug most commonly used to treat parasitic diseases. According to WebMD, the drug was first established in the 1970s and used primarily on animals to kill internal and external parasites, such as gastrointestinal worms, due to their harm to livestock."
After all, who among us has not needed to immediately self-medicate after being infected with gastrointestinal worms?

Principia Discussion / Re: Merry Fucking Maladay
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 24, 2025, 02:11:59 AMYes, o ye of fickle faith, it's that time again! It's Maladay, the fifth day of The Aftermath, in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3191.
And, that means it's once again time to remember and celebrate The Elder Malaclypse (MAL-1), a Non-Prophet, and the Patron and namesake of Malaclypse the Younger (MAL-2).
Now, the Elder Malaclypse is mostly remembered for wandering around really, really, old cities, while bearing signs. (There's nothing recorded about MAL-1 flipping, spinning, twirling, or waving the signs. But, it's unlikely that, back in the day, all that many people knew how to read his signs anyway.) That, of course, and being the harbinger of the easily avoided Erisian Eschatology. (And that, boys and girls, is why Discordianism is one of the most user friendly religions on the face of the Earth.)
Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Last post by chaotic neutral observer - October 24, 2025, 12:25:46 AMNot sure how they're going to blame the destruction of the east wing on Obama, but, whatev. It's a minor incident in the context of what is happening to the population at large.
Pity about the historical architecture though.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 22, 2025, 05:47:30 AMOctober 22, 1844 - The Great Disappointment - Millerites' Were Wrong About the Second Coming
Then, they changed their minds, and decided it was actually the start for J.C.'s final work of atonement, the cleansing in the heavenly sanctuary, leading up to the Second Coming.
Well ... what with all of that "perfection stuff" I'd beenforce-fed taught as a boy, I'm kind of surprised the place got so messy in the first place. But, I guess those Millerites were really into their deities making dramatic entrances.
Now, our own Blessed Goddess Eris, except for that Original Snub incident, comes and goes whenever and wherever she wants. And, while I don't know for certain, I'm pretty sure Divine Goddess Eris just leaves all of that cleansing stuff up to her Holy Household Help.
Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Civilian Gun Violence in '...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 21, 2025, 05:56:53 PMHere are some 'Merican civilian gun violence statistics I did not know:
America's gun violence epidemic hits particularly hard in Mississippi
"The Hospitality State accounts for half of the 10 U.S. counties with the highest gun homicide rates. Nine deaths after homecoming games last week cast new light on the crisis."
As per this article:
"Nick Wilson, who works as the senior director of gun violence prevention for the Center for American Progress (CAP), told me Tuesday, "Even for me, it was very surprising to see just how much Mississippi and other kind of more rural places top the list" of places with the worst gun homicide rates. Wilson was referring to a list CAP put together using data from hospitals and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The left-leaning think tank found that of the 20 U.S. counties with the highest "annualized gun homicide rate" between 2021 and 2024, 11 counties are rural. Mississippi counties account for eight of the top 20 and five of the top 10. On that list is Washington County, where six people were killed in Leland on Friday night.
Wilson also noted that sociologist James Tuttle uses "Murder Valley" to describe an area of 21 contiguous counties that includes the cities of Memphis, Tennessee, and Jackson, Mississippi, and much of the Arkansas Delta and Mississippi Delta. If the area were its own nation, Tuttle writes, it would have the fifth-highest homicide rate in the world: better than Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Haiti, which are ranked 6th and 7th, but worse than Ecuador and South Africa, which are ranked 3rd and 4th.
"We talk so much about Illinois," Wilson said, "and Trump sending the National Guard to Chicago, but Mississippi's homicide rate is twice that of Illinois.""
Having grown up in a gun culture, and in an area more rural than what is described in this article, I am shocked by these statistics. Now, where and when I grew up, accidental shootings of the "cleaning their gun," and "not checking for people behind their target," variety were common. But, intentional homicides were extremely rare.
