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!

It’s not every month where there’s a day that’s the month squared – but today is one of those days!

Enjoy some especially alphanumerical trinkets!

(1) Have you ever wanted to understand the technology inside your credit cards? RFID vs. lines of B? Here is your chance! And it’s done by Veritasium!

(2) Everything you probably didn’t know about that great TV comedy of the 1960s, F TROOP!

(3) 8000 may not seem like a magic number, but up on the mountains, it is. Above 8000 meters, you cannot rest. You must get below that altitude to live.

(4) Note that there is now a lot of FAKE mountain disaster content, where annoying and arrogant fake people like “fitness influencers” die after they do bad things like insult their superior non-white sherpas. Very strange. 2 bad white grlz die. 2 good Nepalis live!

This video doesn’t admit to false and “synthetic” content, but I verified that this is fake, with the help of Duck AI.

(5) Body cams and WGTTs. You know this can’t end well. Let this be a reminder that one less drink and one more “Yes, sir” will get you very far in life.

OK, I have a hangover just watching that.

Have a great weekend, and act responsibly. Let me recommend the ginger ale and popcorn.
