Dear KMAG: 20250428 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

onomasiology

noun

  • the study of nomenclature
  • a branch of lexicology concerned with the names of concepts
  •  the study of words and expressions having similar or associated concepts and a basis (as social, regional, occupational) for being grouped
  • a branch of linguistics concerned with the question “how do you express X?”

Used in a sentence

The onomasiology of Trump enemy nicknames will one day be a scholarly sub-specialty.

Used in another sentence

Onomasiology, as a part of lexicology, starts from a concept which is taken to be prior (i.e. an idea, an object, a quality, an activity etc.) and asks for its names.

How the Gab AI “Gabby” illustrates the idea of onomasiology

MUSIC!

A Bhutanese folk song about onomasiology (seriously)

Some musical, medical journalism featuring Heart!

THE STUFF

More math and computer stories, featuring that annoyingly happy woman with a British accent.

Some of these numbers….. I mean….. really?

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

orectic

adjective

  • of, like or pertaining to appetite or desires
  • causing desire or appetite

  • pertaining to or characterized by orexia
  • pertaining to psychological or physiological drives

A poem called “Orectic” by Jennifer Boyden / Jennifer Oakes

INSECURE LINK: http://beatrice.com/wordpress/2010/03/15/jennifer-boyden-orectic/

From the throats of herons and lost wolves,
we learn of a mistake made by the gods.
They gave us red-winged birds and vesper
sparrows who make songs of leaf-light
and flying. The gods thought we’d be so happy—
all that fruit, one big garden,
our nakedness in sun and water.
They never counted on our needing a sound
for longing, too. They gave that to the loon,
to wild dogs whose teeth throb
from the light of the moon; they poured it
into the long necks of birds. How could they
have known? Where in our bodies
would they have moored the slender cry of the crane
who calls out that night is closing the sky,
taking away the glinted green
of the frogs’ moist backs, the dazzle the sun makes
of every hair, of every shining wing?

MUSIC!

A “deep house” electronica playlist called “Orectic Mix”……..

Epic orchestral video found by searching on “orectic music”

THE STUFF

SO – for “Action April” we are taking two weeks to study something called the Principle of Least Action.

Here is the second of TWO videos covering the topic.

Not sure I’m buying this, as my colleague, Prof. Suspicious Cat, has questions similar to those mentioned in the video, about the significance and interpretation of the role of the diffraction grating, and its potential behavior in lensing at odd angles.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

yoni

noun

  • symbol representing female genitals
  • a stylized representation of a vulva worshiped as a symbol of a goddess, in particular the Hindu goddess Shakti.
  • the symbol under which Shakti, or the personification of the female power in nature, is worshiped
  • The female sexual organs, or a symbol of them, especially as an object of veneration within certain types of Hinduism, Buddhism, and other cultures
  • concept applicable to female vaginal treatments, exercises, massages, and other focuses

As I have said, I don’t back down on ANY word that comes next in my list of “needful words” that don’t get enough usage. HOWEVER…..

Used in a sentence

I’m not going to show all the things I’ve read regarding yoni. I encourage interested readers to explore on their own. And as for pictures…..

Used in a picture

No. Just no. And the good pictures include symbolic representation of the male counterpart, too. Yikes. Interesting, but…..

MUSIC!

LOL! OK – I am simply not going to promote “yoni” music – this is classified as “women’s health” in my world, and even the less “anatomically technical” music videos are likely to be a bit too pagan and new-age for this site.

On the other hand, being only a bit new-age and globalist (“world music”), Greek instrumental and electronic artist Yanni is somebody my father enjoyed during his sunset years, and Yanni’s music brings back good memories of my mother and father enjoying their retirement, so here you go. Twenty of Yanni’s greatest hits.

THE STUFF

Flying insects the size of a hawk or an eagle?

OK – this video is actually some interesting science wrapped in click-bait advertising and bad AI narration. The critters aren’t all THAT bad – although they seem pretty nasty by today’s standards.

Bottom line – kinda happy all these bugs got smaller.
