Lmao the irony of an abrahamic saying this

Now go pray to their dead jew on a stick. Totally not an idol

Why is the abrahamic mind so unable to comprehend non abrahamic faiths aren't mutually exclusive?

NO

I wish we had a sea god Would have made for very aesthetic themed temples. Imagine a conch shaped dome and the door guard statues being mermen

They (whether it was him or her or both) left a very obvious trail of their activity on various wiki pages. Now her sponsor Lululemon has dropped her

September 24, Conor Holt, the husband and coach of American ultrarunner Camille Herron, admitted to altering the biographies of Herron, Courtney Dauwalter, Kilian Jornet, and other prominent runners on the website Wikipedia. Holt's edits boosted his wife's accolades but also downgraded those of the other prominent ultrarunners.

"Camille had nothing to do with this," Holt wrote in an email sent to Outside and several running media websites. "I'm 100 percent responsible and apologize [to] any athletes affected by this and the wrong I did."

The person had erased the accomplishments of a Danish runner named Stine Rex, who in 2024 broke two long-distance running records—the six-day and 48-hour marks—which were previously held by Herron. At the time, the sport's governing body, the International Association of Ultrarunners, was deciding whether or not to honor Rex's six-day record of 567 miles.

"The person making the edits said the IAU had made a decision on the record, even though they hadn't yet," Peepeeinson told me. "Whoever was doing it really wanted to get Rex's run off of Wikipedia."

The editor in question used the name "Rundbowie," and Peepeeinson saw that the account had also made numerous changes to Herron's biography. Most of these edits were to insert glowing comments into the text. "I thought whoever this person is, they are a big fan of Camille Herron," Peepeeinson said.

Rundbowie was prolific on Wikipedia, and made frequent tweaks and updates to other biographies. The account had removed language from the pages of Jornet and Dauwalter—specifically deleting the text "widely regarded as one of the greatest ultramarathon runners of all time." Rundbowie had then attempted to add this exact language to Herron's page. Both attempts were eventually denied by Wikipedians.

A final Internet deep dive convinced Peepeeinson that he was on the right track. The IP address—a string of characters associated with a given computer—placed Temporun73 in Oklahoma, which is where Herron and Holt live. Then, on a forum page for Oregon State University, which is where Herron attended graduate school, Peepeeinson found an old Yahoo email address used by Herron. The email name: Temporun73.

Like the black Nazi in North Carolina using the same username. When are people gonna stop doing this?

Herron has also spoken and written about her own mental health. Earlier this year, she began writing and giving interviews about her recent diagnosis with Autism and ADHD.

"Although I knew little about autism before seeking out a diagnosis, my husband, who observed my daily quirks and often reminded me to eat, drink, and go to bed, would jokingly speculate that I might be neurodivergent," she told writer Sandra Rose Salathe on the website FloSpace in July.

Foidmoment! " I forgot to eat lunch I have autism." Then again, running 600 miles a week is some neurodivergent shit lmbo. Like that elite climbing moid Alex Honnold, clearly some tism. So maybe she's a certified real neurodivergent.

Normally I'd say wiki autism is moid coded, but if she's actual neurodivergent, it could have been her and now the moid is covering for her?

Also, someone on reddit said she shit her pants once to finish a race quicker.

Any pics?

She's on reddit /u/ runcamille

Before this wiki autism story broke, the running community was already calling her a weirdo. Post 3 weeks ago

Recently, Stine Rex of Denmark ran 913 km in a 6-day event and thus beat Camille Herron's world record.

But apparently Camille Herron went out and said Stine Rex was a cheater in her 6 day record because she had illegal shoes and used illegal pacing, both of which are pretty weird claims. The whole race was broadcast live on TV so it shouldn't be controversial and the race organiser claims that everything has followed the rules and has been discussed with IAU. After stirring all this up, Camille apparently decided to make her facebook profile private "to get away from the trolls"...?

Pretty weird controversy I guess, but not the first time either. At the 48 hour world championships earlier this year, Stine Rex beat another one of Camille Herron's world records, and then Camille found some technicalities regarding the paperwork of the race and in the end the record wasn't ratified. (Also mentioned in the article above). This is really odd to me, that the result at the GOMU world championship can somehow not be ratified by GOMU themselves. Also if the GOMU president of all people calls Camille's behaviour unsportsmanlike (as quoted in the article), that's quite something.

Commenters agreed

Camille is a strange fish. I gave her a listen on a podcast recently and she has a massive ego that is in stark contrast to the generally humble relaxed vibe of the mountain trail ultra stuff I usually enjoy.

She feels persecuted and rejected by the community but in all honesty after 40 minutes of listening to her bang on about how incredible she is I am not surprised.

Lots of reasons as to why she expresses herself the way she does, autism diagnosis included but that doesn't make it any less vexing to listen to.

Even the tag line on her website is "worlds greatest ultra runner"...

She also straight up accused Ashley Paulson of cheating at Badwater 135 two years ago, going as far as pulling up pace charts, making the weirdest and wildest claims about essentially a body-double who wore the same clothes and swapped watches. It unleashed a massive witch hunt until Paulson released her Garmin data. Camille is so out of pocket about being questioned as an ultra runner and it's weird vibes.

Mr McMahon is a new Netflix documentary series about former WWE chairman Vince McMahon. It includes interviews with his entire family and many top wrestling figures, and was mostly filmed in 2021 before any criminal charges were filed.

My thoughts:

• Every interview is re-scoped in light of the allegations by putting creepy music in the background. It comes off as really obvious and amateurish.

• It tries to paint him as an evil ruthless businessman because he expanded the WWF into a national product which involved disrupting the old boys network of regional wrestling federations.

• There's a dumb outspoken dude called Tony Atlas who is just there to constantly shit on Vince even though he doesn't seem to have been that close to anything.

• Hulk Hogan comes across really well. I assumed he'd be a barely-sentient blob by now but he's well-spoken and seems surprisingly normal.

• It's very Netflix-y; there's a shoehorned section about how Americans hated foreigners in the 80s. Another section talks about how the wrestlers should have had a union, and another talks about how it's not OK to shit on Iraq.

• Six episodes is too many.
