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!

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.

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!
