Gail Combs is being tormented by the volcanic devastation of blissful blogging that is WordPiss.

You must now suffer the heartache of placeholder.
This is a placeholder.
Most of this post is boilerplate, but with sprinkles of minor mirth.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Wolfian Wednesday Persnickety Placeholder and Open Topic, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Wolfie’s WOO-WOO Wednesday, due to the author’s expected rambling about his most WOO-WOO opinions. Please bear with us!

We are living in an episode of The Outer Limits.
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s WEDNESDAY…again.

So are we halfway through the week? Is this really HUMP DAY?

Let’s try that again.

OK – maybe Wheatie’s rules need to be posted on Wednesday, too.

- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a pure placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday Wednesday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

How did Q put it? Ah, yes.
“Enjoy the show!”

OK, people. I was going to use this placeholder to post about a recent essay by Robert Malone, regarding MAHA and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. This is a great essay, and I hope you will read it.

However, in looking at Malone’s SubStack, I found an even more important essay, in which he talks about more fundamental attitudes toward nature.

Let me just pull a teaser out of this essay. It is a preface of a book by a naturalist and explorer, who was a member of the wealthy family that brought you Tabasco Sauce.

Yup. Tabasco Sauce. That man was a friend of Malone’s great-grandfather.

Here is the quote:
Let those who would live happily and approach the inevitable with a peaceful mind, take heed to nature’s teachings, live a natural life; watch, listen, and think; for the more of these three things you do, the sooner you will realize that your happy, natural fate, lies solely in yourself and your life on earth, and not in the future.’
-McIlhenny
It’s a nice essay that I think many of us “older” people will enjoy.
Have a great Wednesday!
