Dear MAGA: 20251204 ✾ 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!

Ready for a new box of chocolates? You never know what’s in them…… well, not really!

(1) More chess – including a weak opening and a mistake leading to checkmate.

(2) More firearms – namely the 30-06, multiple rounds, including armor-piercing, against plain old steel 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″ and 1″. It’s SPICY.

(3) – More physics magnets – specifically, an explanation of how they work. Bottom line – line up those electrons, buddy – whether it’s in the tiny, or in the big – because it’s a LAZY UNIVERSE and the universe wants to get all LOW ENERGY JEB on things!

(4) More chemistry and bad jokes – as a zany chemist facetiously documents all the laboratory errors he made, in an effort to turn a piece of plumbing pipe into the simple, cheap, metal salt that you can buy at the hardware store to kill roots in your sewer lines.

This is what real YouTube Science was, before AI and big money ruined everything!

(5) More YouTube ChiCom ClickBait FakeTech! How to turn an old microwave oven into clicks and cash (and not actually a laser-aimed, directed energy, flame-thrower).

I do wish Steve was here to critique, but just read the comments on YouTube.

Whatever you do, don’t do any of this stuff at home!

Another selection for your post-election Thursday!

(1) One of the best SCIENCE STORIES I have ever heard. How a merchant marine cook’s crucial observation during a submarine attack in WWII, and persistence in making it known to the military, changed the course of the naval battle against German wolf-packs in the North Atlantic.

The only problem? It appears to be another AI FAKE STORY.

YES – AI is now creating very compelling FAKE HISTORY. The ultimate in FAKE VALOR.

I’m calling it THE BLUMENTHAL EFFECT.

(2) Let’s follow that up with some light entertainment! Also fictional. I kid you not!

(3) Watch some top-level chess, where the cunning “offense by evasion” of Magnus Carlsen edges out the patience of the defending champion until the champ makes enough mistakes.

(4) If you can stand to listen to a woman with pale purple hair, a shaky “inhaling laughter” voice, and a quasi-Brit American accent, but with an excellent knowledge of science fiction, then here is everything that is lovable but wrong with Star Trek’s warp drive in reality universe.

(5) AI companions. Get totally caught up with the subject in 35 minutes of fascinating and surprisingly non-exploitative video (this, despite the clickbait cover image “thumbnail” you see below, complete with trendy pale purple blonde hair and WGTTs).

OK – that’s enough. You have faithfully endured the trials of YouTube ClickBait. Your reward is NO MAS. And Thank You for your attention to this matter!

Dear KMAG: 20251006 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:

No food fights.
No running with scissors.
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 backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar

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:

THE STUFF

This is interesting both at the “Steve” level, and at the “Duchess” level. This guy talks about his most important moment of realization in quantum mechanical theory (which resulted in a “new interpretation of quantum mechanics”) and how it happened because of his not doing so well on a test. Another case of not seeing where “bad things” may lead.

Have faith!

This guy is actually surprisingly clear, simple, and easy to understand.

If you find that interesting, there is a much longer video of the whole conversation, but it’s over two hours, so you were warned!

Notice the clickbait headline on the thumbnail. “Quantum theory crumbles?” REALLY? C’mon, Corn Pop! LOL!

Just sayin’!

Until victory, have faith!

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.

(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: 20250820 ✾ Wolfian Wednesday Persnickety Placeholder and Open Topic

Gail Combs is off tonight due to the tragic death of her neighbor, as well as the insurance company coming after her home, and other assorted trials and evils. Please join me in praying for Gail, her husband, and their neighbors. May they be strengthened in their hour of need by the Almighty.

We must endeavor to persevere with this 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.

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!”

W

OK – y’all got a real placeholder on the Monday upon which this post was saved. We’re gonna try to give you some actual fresh content today.

(1) Beware Charybdis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charybdis

Pot may not kill you, but it has friends like jet engines who are willing to do the job. Stay safe out there, mellow tokers!

(2) The Far Out Dude Prophesies

How did the 1970s get the future so right by warning us about what we shouldn’t do wrong, and then somehow failing to stop it?

(3) Pick a Number – Any Number!

Not so easy, when you think too much about it! Welcome to the “axiom of choice” – which fixes everything and breaks it, too.

(4) Dark Energy Is A Placeholder!

No, I did NOT say that Placing Holder Under Arrest is a Dark MAGA Energy. Nor did this lady. But she did say that “Dark energy is a placeholder for a lack of knowledge of what leads to the expansion of the universe.”

Actually, she said a whole lot more. If you want a good general explanation of the state of modern physics in words and no numbers, this gal can provide, during the first half hour.

After that, you enter the arena of physicists fighting each other. Grab some popcorn!

(PS – as you can see by the image on the video, these new AI anti-wrinkle creams and age-reversing formulas for men and women really work!)

(5) Does This Research Smell Sweet or Stink?

“Scent of a woman’s tears brings calm to men”

Remember – the Weizmann Institute had some researchers who straight-up lied about some covidian stuff, IIRC. This would mean that there are simple volatile chemicals that pacify human aggression. Are they putting those in everyday products? And if not, why not?

This was brought here a long time ago by somebody – and sat in my tabs forever.

LINK 2: https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002442

Used in a sentence (from 1897)
