The short of it is: a GOAT player slipped up and lost to a overall worse player. Magnus, his fans, and Hikaru+Chess.com coped and seethed accusations against Hans of cheating,. The cases were dropped and now Hans can play on chess.com again.
Hans vs Magnus rematch should be on the pipeline and it should be spicy.

Small detail about the Wyoming Sorority, it's not that the court can't define a woman, it's that the Sorority itself added that "women and people identifying as a woman" can join - in other words they tried to virtue signal and now face the consequences.
Judge basically said they made their bed, now get fucked in it.

This guy goes over it:

A bit more backstory on this guy. He was an "MVP" on the Blizzard forums, a distinction given to people who were active on the tech support section of the forums. All of their posts appeared in a special green text, which often caused people to confuse them with mods and developers. This guy in particular spent I'd estimate basically 3-5 years essentially LARPing as a Blizzard employee on the forums, doing free labor for Blizzard like putting together official sounding news threads and just generally shilling. Basically a janny, except without even the power to delete posts. Apparently the years of blizzdroning paid off and he got the job.
Not sure if he's actually a tranny though or if it's just some weird streaming persona, because he appears to use his male name on the job, and a woke company like blizzard wouldn't give a fuck if he tried to use something else.

On the question of who came up with the Niemann anal beads allegations I can give you the full scoop, the short answer is, it was basically just a rumor that popped up and began circulating due to wild speculation among the community on the topic of how cheating in an over the board chess game could be done, after accusations against Niemann. Long answer, it started when Carlsen (world champion, highest rated player of all time) pulled out of a tournament after losing to Niemann, and then went on to strongly imply he suspected him of cheating in their game, and cheating in the majority of his games to climb the ranks (he had been having a hot streak that was basically unheard of, at that point being among the top 50 players in the world basically out of nowhere). Many other top players including Nakamura backed him up, basically calling many of the other events surrounding Niemann "highly suspicious" without ever outright saying he was cheating e.g. when Niemann sounded like a complete idiot in several post-game interviews and couldn't explain his own moves, which any other grandmaster at that level is happy to do that. Still, nobody can really give a plausible explanation of how exactly he has managed to cheat in so many over the board games without being caught, so the anal beads theory is the most dominant one being brought up (mostly as a joke). Niemann wasn't suing over any specific anal beads allegations, just the very harmful insinuations by the parties, chess.com, Carlsen and Nakamura. I don't think anybody involved is Jewish, they all just probably have autism. @Null there you go, hope that answer may be satisfactory (it isn't).

doesnt the illiad rhyme in greek?

No it's written in dactylic hexameter—five sets of dactyls (one long syllable and two short syllables) or spondees (two long syllables) followed by an ancaps (two syllables, basically). Rhyming, as we know it, is also not very impressive in an inflected language. It's only when you get to barbarian germanic languages and their mongrel kin like English that something like rhyme becomes an adequate constraint on composition so as to allow for poetry to be built around it. For most of Western history, the constraint was metrical—the number, "length", and stress on syllables in a line. Differences in the scheme of metrical constraints is how different types of poetry were distinguished—i.e. epic poetry, elegiac poetry, satire, etc.

I could demonstrate with the Odyssey or the Aeneid but it doesn't seem like you'd care.

Edit: This applies to Classical Hebrew, too. No rhymes there, though poetics in all languages includes playing with words that sound alike.

this is false. the original illiad did in fact rhyme but once rome rose to prominence around 25 bc and took hold of greece the translations all became latin.

its due to this that the original greek rhymes have been lost to history. its not surprising to see so many unlearned people be confused by prose thats been translated from the latin texts as opposed to the original greek.

Why would taking Greece make Homeric poetry turn into Latin? You know Hellenistic Egypt was the literary and cultural center of the Greek speaking world by this point, right—and also where the completed version of Homer were first created? At least think a bit if you're gonna troll.
