Bloody hell, not MONDAY again. The weekend came and went like Taco Bell chalupas – which I have never eaten (I don’t think), I simply know of them by reputation. And now we have the smelly, awful, disgusting aftereffect.

Fortunately, that is why we have the Great Mondaydact Browser Prober.

Speaking of which – does anyone remember a particularly terrible movie from the mid-1990s called Mars Attacks!? What with all the drones flying around in the FUSA (and elsewhere), it seems like a good time to remind ourselves what a REAL alien invasion looks like:

Looking back, though, after all the genuinely ATROCIOUS movies we have all endured for the past 30 years… were those films really so bad?

We report, you decide.

PJW is not impressed by the antics of one Lily Phillips – you may recall this particular slag from one of my poasts last week:

Apparently, the record for the most male partners in a single 24-hour period belongs to someone named Lisa Sparks, who did the deed with 919 men in 12 hours. That comes to 45 seconds per man. And she says it is the one and only thing in her entire, uh, “career” that she ever truly regretted.

That should give us all some idea of what awaits Ms Phillips – a lifetime of pain, regret, and misery.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for her. She chose this bed of awful consequences – now let her lie in it.

Lord Razor of the Fist Clan is unimpressed by the gaming industry’s pleas for relevance, after their many years of shitting all over their paying customers:

Warriors of Faith

Tha Dizzle exposes the “phonic fallacy” that Muzzies use all the time – and very stupidly – to “prove” that Mo’Lester the Paedophile Profit exists in the Song of Solomon:

It is such an idiotic “argument” that you cannot actually believe people are dumb enough to use it – until you hear it for yourself.

Keep in mind, of course, that cousin-marriage is common in Izzlamick societies, particularly in India and Pakistan, where a lot of these assclowns come from – this helps explain why so many low-IQ types keep using it.

---

Big Jon Steel – a former atheist – shreds a particularly dumb atheist’s “arguments”:

I rather like the bit where Jon asks his interlocutor whether the guy owns any fedoras. The insult flew straight over the supposedly clever irratheist’s head.

That debate, right there, is proof positive that atheism requires a greater level of faith than Christianity does.

I used to be an atheist too. It is partly because I have mathematical training, that I abandoned it, because I came to realise that the mathematical odds of the atheistic naturalist position are so ridiculously bad as to make the entire construct impossible.

Sam Shamoun takes on a Hindu, for a change, and proves every bit as effective at destroying their arguments as he is with Muzzies and Talmudic Jews:

---

Avery from GodLogic schools a particularly arrogant Muzzie on his own “sacred” texts:

The reality is that the Koran is not an original book – not even slightly. It is not a particularly well-written book, either. It shows every sign of having been copied in a big hurry from existing Syro-Aramaic texts, and then adjusted to fit an existing Arab-Persian narrative by the Abbasids. The whole book makes literally no sense, and is riddled with anachronisms, historical inaccuracies, contradictions, and logical problems – in large part because it was transliterated from Syro-Aramaic into Arabic, using the shared skeletal scripts between the two languages, but then with diacritical markings interpolated onto and into the text to force the Arabic reading. That reading is profoundly different from the original Syro-Aramaic text, which now appears to be largely lost – it only survives in the oral traditions of the Aramaic Christians of Syria.

Joker from Better Bachelor has absolutely NO patience for anyone who tries to defend the aforementioned Ms Phillips, or for anyone who tries to condemn the men involved:

I think he is right. Ms Phillips is the one who decided to allow herself to be used like a toilet. She should not then be surprised when hundreds and thousands of men are willing to accept her terms. The consequences are hers to own. I, and most of my readers, have NO SYMPATHY WHATSOEVER for her and her eventual fate.

Midnight’s Edge compares the Wicked film with the book that inspired it, and… let’s just say it is about as big a gulf as that between the Disney versions of those old Brothers Grimm fairy tales:

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is actually more about MAFF this time, and looks at an infinitely interesting type of infinity:

Recently, mathematicians from the Vienna University of Technology in Austria and the University of Barcelona have discovered two new kinds of infinities, known as exacting and ultra-exacting cardinals. These infinities don’t quite follow the standard ladder of infinities due to their unusual properties. The researchers detailed these new infinite sets in a paper published on the non-peer reviewed preprint server arXiv.

“People have been coming up with larger and larger notions of infinity,” Juan Aguilera, a co-author of the paper from Vienna University of Technology, told New Scientist. “You can look at all the previous ones that people have come up with and you can fit them in a hierarchy […] they don’t quite fit in this linear hierarchy. They interact very, very strangely with other notions of infinity.”

New Scientist described exacting cardinals as being so large that they contain copies of themselves—sort of like a house with many full-scale copies of itself inside. Ultra-exacting copies additionally include mathematical rules on how to create them “as if the nested house was also wallpapered with blueprints of itself.”

However, things get wonky when comparing these new infinities with a foundational concept of mathematics known as the Axiom of Choice, which says that you can make a new set of numbers by picking out numbers from other sets. This puts infinities into three categories: infinities that adhere to this set theory (natural number sets, integer sets, etc…), infinities so large they’re essentially chaos mathematics, and infinities that exist somewhere in between. Although the researchers thought exacting and ultra-exacting cardinals fit in this in-between region, they couldn’t quite pin them down.

Your long read of the week is by Connor Gallagher, and looks at whether Turkey bit off rather more than it can actually chew in Syria:

Viewed from afar, the atmosphere reminds me of when I was living and working in Istanbul 2015-2017 at TRT World. At that time Project Syria was well underway although running into problems. Still, there was an atmosphere of euphoria among the elite at TRT (you had to be a well-connected Turk to get a position there) that Türkiye was on the march, reclaiming its rightful position as leader of the Muslim Arab world (despite the country’s population being less than five percent Arab), and there was full support for neo-Ottoman aspirations to expand Turkish influence, if not territory.

That euphoria frequently ran into reality checks, such as after the shooting down of a down Russian fighter jet in November of 2015. Despite the initial excitement, Türkiye was eventually forced to apologize and even arrested the pilots who fired on the Russian aircraft after Moscow retaliated with economic measures and military action in Syria. It ended up being more of an embarrassment for Türkiye.

Euphoria returned a few months after the conclusion of that incident when Turkish direct military involvement began in Syria in August of 2016.

While some observers place nationalism and Islamism apart in Turkish politics, the Türkiye of those years seemed more a fusion of Islamism and ethno-nationalism. It seemed this ideology finally hit a wall as Project Syria stalled out, Türkiye was stuck with at least 3 million refugees from the conflict, and the economy tanked. On the surface Ankara scaled back its ambitions, learning to work with an ascendant Russia and China and publicly renounced its use of jihadist mercenaries — even as it did not do so in practice. Meanwhile, Türkiye’s expansionist aims were not only lying dormant but potentially growing.

In elections of 2018 and 2023 the biggest winners were the Islamist nationalists who believe in Turkish superiority. The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and the Iyi party took 21 percent of the vote and won 92 seats in parliament in 2018. Anti-refugee sentiment and economic hardships increased the vote share of Islamist ethno-nationalist parties in 2023, and they continue to have major influence on Turkish foreign policy. It’s not hard to draw a line between the history of say, the MHP, and Turkish support for extremist proxies.

The MHP was founded by Alparslan Turkes, an army colonel with links to Operation Gladio and it gathered strength with its tight relationship with right-wing paramilitaries like the Grey Wolves and Turkish organized crime in their CIA-backed battle against left-wingers, Communists, Kurdish, and Alevi organisations.

With their belief in Turkish superiority and goal to rule the Arab world, these forces are in many ways the flip side to the same coin of Zionism.

MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOOOZHUN!!!

The Neo-Tsar gave a thought-provoking address to the United Russia party’s plenary session:

As Alexander Mercouris pointed out in his video from yesterday, United Russia is not the ruling party of the country, not really. It is really the party wrapped around the ruling class, to help them maintain the pleasant fiction of a ruling party. In fact, the ruling class is The Putin and the siloviki – and that is how it SHOULD BE, in a country that has known literally nothing but tyrants and god-kings for 1,200 years.

Meme Warfare

First up, the dankest of memes from The Male Brain:

[NEVER STICK YOUR D IN CRAZY – Didact]

A physician, an engineer, and an attorney were discussing who among them belonged to the oldest of the three professions represented. The physician said, “Remember, on the sixth day God took a rib from Adam and fashioned Eve, making him the first surgeon. Therefore, medicine is the oldest profession.”

The engineer replied, “But, before that, God created the heavens and earth from chaos and confusion, and thus he was the first engineer. Therefore, engineering is an older profession than medicine.”

Then, the lawyer spoke up. “Yes,” he said, “But who do you think created all of the chaos and confusion?”

[If Satan ever figures out data types in Python and groks webscraping, we are ALL in deep shit – Didact]

[Donaldus Triumphus Magnus STILL looks like the CHADDEST OF CHADS – Didact]

[Yep. I laughed myself silly when I saw that one – Didact]

And now, as LRFotS RobertW likes to say:
