Dear KMAG: 20250929 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:

olivaster

adjective

  • having an olive complexion
  • of the color of the olive
  • tawny

Used in a sentence

The olivaster hue of the walls gave the room a peaceful ambiance.

Shades of Olive Green

MUSIC!

A band called Olive?


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’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

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!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

ingluvies

noun

  • a crop or craw of birds
  • a dilation or pouch in the esophagus of certain animals that receives food prior to the main stomach, esp a bird’s craw, or the first stomach of a cow or other ruminating animal
  • the widened portion of the esophagus of birds and lower animals
  • a crop or pouch in the esophagus of many birds, in which food is stored or partially digested before passing to the stomach

Used in a sentence with bad American English and Russian accent

“Moose ingluvies, but squirrel not having!”

Ridiculous misleading example of usage generated by bad AI

In the Carnia region of Italy, children catch and eat ingluvies of the toxic Zygaena moths in early summer. (LINK: https://www.wordsense.eu/ingluvies/ – ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/dHtJY)


MUSIC!

Another song by an artist featured previously.

Whoa, the pipes!

Well, there’s nothing about drinking, jail or trains, but put three check marks next to mom!


THE STUFF

This next video is not just for the geeks here, although – yeah – it’s mostly for them. It’s also for the musicians, and the curious.

Steve covered this before, so it should not be totally unfamiliar. Feel free to review:

16 – De Broglie, Schrödinger, and Heisenberg

You don’t have to understand the math, to follow along and understand why light and atoms end up being a lot like vibrating musical strings.

Basically, Erwin Schrödinger plugged a simple but weird equation by Louis de Broglie, which said that matter has a frequency just like light, into the existing wave equation, and he got a matter wave equation.

And all of THAT is revealed on the way to answering, what in the heck is an imaginary number doing in there?

You will likely need to watch it more than once.

Just sayin’!

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

MUSIC!

“Thereon” is not to be confused with the occult band “Therion”, which is not shown here. Instead, we’ll do some gospel!

Great stuff! And speaking of stuff…..


THE STUFF

First, a quick note of thanks to everybody who helped keep the site going during my recent absence. You are all greatly appreciated, and when I say God Bless You, I mean it!

I am pleased to report that my health is continuing to improve, and that the things I need to get done, are getting done. God is good! ALL THE TIME!

Again, thank you for your prayers, your well-wishes, and your continued presence here!

I thought this was a nice science history video – not primarily for the science, but for the human story. Steve talked about this guy, too, so it’s not totally unfamiliar.

Yes, those were interesting times, too.

Just sayin’!
