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!

Like tater tots struggling to stay warm on the kitchen table, these here Thursday Trinkets need just a little love to stay tasty. Enjoy!
(1) Big flying dinosaurs. Pretty much a flying motorcycle in weight. They keep finding bigger ones! Yeah, this is AI slop, but it’s informative.
Here’s some AI drama based on it (fortunately shorter).
(2) So are the “Black Irish” (the ones in Ireland, on the West coast) really a thing? And if so, why do they exist? This is about what the DNA seems to say.
(3) Fake Entertainment has a full menu of propaganda and predictive programming dressed up as “science fiction”. Are you ready to review the enemy attacks in order to understand what the phony messages are? Here you go – 25 of them in 2026. Or just skip it all, if you don’t want to be exposed to the propaganda.
(4) Sometimes the whole “fusion energy” thing seems somewhat unrealistic – especially with the large installations and years of experimentation needed for conventional neutronic fusion reactions. But there is another possibility.
In contrast, the aneutronic hydrogen-boron (P-11B and D-10B) fusion reactions, which are being pursued by TAE (the partners of Trump’s media company) are moving steadily toward reality. In my opinion, it’s becoming a bit of a “Wright brothers” scenario.
Enjoy this video of a research report from a different company pursuing the technology. This is what real science looks like.
(5) The following problem sure seems a lot like another problem involving our choice of the “cash grab of the world” vs. the “mystery box of heaven”! Enjoy another episode of Veritasium!
Definitely one of the better episodes. SO – which strategy did you pick? And why?
That’s it! Have a great weekend!
