Dear MAGA: 20260813 ✾ TRUST THE PLAN ✾ Thursday Open Topic | Tab Dumper Special

Sometimes you have to have faith.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Plan!

We have created this site as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions. This is a place where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This particular thread is – for the moment – TRUST THE PLAN Thursday. You are welcome to say what you think, in a civil and courteous manner that loves your neighbor. Free speech matters! Courteous speech makes it happen.

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.

You are you. AI is AI. Keep your identity. Don’t “Borg Out” on us!

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

That was stolen from Wheatie.

Let’s steal her rules, 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.

Our Mission Orders

Just to make sure you can see that…..

Tab Dumper Special

I decided that I would dump a dozen of my tabs once again. It’s cathartic. A few thoughts go out with each one.

(1) An old Wheatie post, from September 14, 2019, when this site was just shy of 1 year old. We were still on WordPress, and COVID had probably just been leaked from the Wuhan lab.

https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/09/14/dear-kmag-20190914-open-topic

(2) An old Steve post, from the Qth of July, 2021, in the midst of COVID vaccination, when Steve covered Einstein’s early, revolutionary papers, laying foundations in both relativity and quantum mechanics.

(3) My 250th Anniversary thank you post, featuring Q = Quantum and a salute to our fallen patriots, in case you want to bookmark it. Also the finale on the Thursday posts with the Genesis stained glass artwork.

Dear MAGA: 20260702 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

(4) A great video on Trump’s Main Street / Golden Age / reindustrialization strategy. Thanks to Duchess for bringing this to my attention.

(5) One of the best explanations of the Schroedinger equation – an intuitive physical and mathematical rationalization of how quantum mechanics arises out of classical physics.

(6) AI slop and eye-roll clickbait about Pluto is very interesting nonetheless. Much of this stuff is worth knowing. If you make it past the first repetitive, yawn-inducing, “delay of story” filler nonsense, it gets better!

(7) These two tabs go together. Think long and hard before you get an mRNA vaccine.

When you read about his case, you’ll understand that his life was a living hell. Please don’t roll the dice. Don’t trust these demons! They won’t have the mercy to just kill you – they will torment you until you kill yourself.

(8) Here’s an interesting argument leaning on the First Amendment – that restrictions on drug advertising would enable restrictions on energy advertising.

STEVE MILLOY: Banning Drug Ads Today Could Muzzle Energy Tomorrow

(9) Good habits are effective in helping people to NOT GET a nasty parasite in Hawaii, and those habits will serve you well here in the Great 48. Read about how to prevent rat lungworm brain infections, because that information will help keep you from getting other diseases here in REAL AMERICA.

Habits Are Key To Preventing the Spread of Rat Lungworm

(10) Horrible clickbait about fire ants is really an interesting ecology study about “horny toads” in Texas. Go ahead and click. Yeah, it’s AI slop, but it’s not terrible.

(11) Neutrinos, Gluons, and Quarks. AI wants to teach you about them. Beware – these videos are movie-length, and very complete.

(12) NSA issues warning about leaving your phone with its more promiscuous settings “on” when you go out in public.

That’s enough for now! Have a great weekend!

Dear MAGA: 20250821 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

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!

W

Not a placeholder. A short selection of tidbits.

(1) AI Sydney Sweeney, bad AI political humor, and bad AI dialogue. UGH. And yet, weirdly watchable, like figures in a small-town wax museum.

https://youtu.be/ZHJxvKa_UYU

(2) This is funnier, and definitely NOT AI.

(3) Is this wasp video AI? Your opinions welcome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RMDTFO6iZ0

Not sure why you have to watch it on YouTube.

(4) Science LYAHF video turns out to be good for all the wrong reasons!

This LYAHF (Let’s You And Her Fight) physics attack video, in which a rather malicious woke establishment science dude obsessively goes after Sabine Hossenfelder and Eric Weinstein, by interviewing six scientists whose fields she has snubbed, turns out to have some amazing explanations of current aspirations in physics by his less malicious and very serious guests.

Watch the attacker act like a typical MSM journalist, pushing his guests to try to get them to say what he wants them to say – that Sabine is a “fraud” and a crackpot.

Nonetheless, very worth the watch to gain an understanding of current progress in string theory, particle physics, etc.

(5) Want to know more about ancient Egyptian?

It takes a while for the story to get there, but it’s worth it.

Have a great weekend!

Dear KMAG: 20240527 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

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:

limpkin

noun

Caribbean crane-like bird

Shown in a picture

Not to be confused with Fuzzy Lumpkins!

MUSIC!

I found this pop music from Papua New Guinea, to be strangely enjoyable.

And yes. Last week’s word of the week – “wame” – led me to it!

Not ready to move there. Lows in the 70’s. Record lows in the 50’s.

THE STUFF

The title of the following video is a bit of an overstatement to make you fear AI, and thus to draw you in. What becomes apparent in the end, however, is how well AI works as a tool, much like older computers did, to help solve thorny math and science problems.

A very interesting collaboration.

Enjoy!

There – that wasn’t so bad, was it?

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW
