This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
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 Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
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 THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
- 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 placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

More STUFF……
(1) Hardware babe Anastasia back with more clickbait tech news, backhandedly praising Tesla and Samsung! File under “Disaster!/Miracle!” See if you can spot Trump’s invisible cameo!
(2) More Titan submersible “doom porn” – this time with an annoying Indian American smart girl twist that manages to (at the end) badly attack Elon Musk for MDS attagrlz. Nevertheless, the Titan data is good, and worth the watch time.
(3) A different kind of doom porn – about “backwards life” – that is worth watching and thinking about – especially about why this particular take is probably WRONG. There are not only theological reasons – the scientific reasons are significant.
My bottom line – “loss of function” research is still possible, useful, and will almost certainly show that “nature” (COUGH) got there already. Nonetheless, a good warning, and I agree that no form of highly divergent “synthetic life” should be created, now or in the foreseeable future. Call it “due diligence”!
(4) Interested in modern sniper technology? Here ya go!
OK, that’s enough! Have a great weekend!
