Jake,

I’m waiting for Vick’s Formula 44 to be served at MAGA/MAHA dinners, maybe in 40 Oz. bottles:

Reg,

With the proviso, of course, that “white” is all colors and shades of the visible light spectrum unrefracted by a prism.

Fortunately, this trash doesn’t need separate bins for recycling and repurposing.

Jake,

Be careful of getting earwurms. It might turn you into a certain junkie lawyer who plays a Doctor on TV and claims his bionic electron microscope eyes can detect “mitochondria issues” just by looking. You might also think your stomach is bulletproof against e coli, Trichinae, salmonella and any other nasty bugs carried by raw milk.

Simon,

I’ve heard that before. Also that Trump supporters tend to think in a very group-oriented way, they think that groups have to compete, and that their group has to win.

Both MAGA and Anti-MAGA think in group-oriented ways. The Anti-MAGA espouse racial, ethnic, sexual, gender and class identity politics and the MAGA react with their o…[Read more]

Reg,

World of Woo: Why wind farms attract so much misinformation.

It is indeed Woo that wind energy makes the whales loco and ruins the scenery (which RFK Jr also said for 20 years about proposed wind energy projects off Nantucket Sound, back when Leftie Eco-Wackos loved him.)

But, come on, the term “windmills” is no more hokey than “wind…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

I say all this to take the edge off of the obvious and not so obvious facts about the horror that happened in Minneapolis, Minnesota:

Magic words, whether thoughts or prayers, said to anyone, whether “Gods” or humans, whether singular, intercessionally, or in prayer circles, cannot predict how the worst human beings will act,…[Read more]

Reg,

“Fuck it” is, like fucking prayer, a fucking placebo, since “fuck it” wouldn’t stop the fucking frostbite resulting from extended fucking soaking of your fucking hand in fucking cold water!

That’s the fucking evidence-fucking-based findings of the Winter-Fucking-Semester fucking researchers at the Fucking Uni-Fucking-Versity of Fucking…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

Saudi Arabia launches chatbot with Islamic moral code
Humain Chat will eventually be available to Arabic speakers and Muslims worldwide, say its developers, who are backed by the sovereign wealth fund

Maybe Humain and Peter Thiel’s…[Read more]

Reg:

All this time I thought pig’s lungs were only good for musical accompaniment for the Paul Henning “Hooterville” TV trilogy.

Reg and Jake:

I’ll trust a Secular Israeli Medical AI before I’ll trust Peter Thiel’s:

Why the tech gods of Silicon Valley have turned to Christianity
Peter Thiel is among the tycoons touting their faith and messianic attitude — while building ‘superintelligence’ has prompted deep philosophical questions

Reg:

Middle East Forum has revealed that it isn’t just USAID that is funding our enemies, but even Homeland Security in multiple Administrations, Obama, Trump 45, and Biden. Talk about mission creep!

DHS yanks funding from groups with ‘alleged terrorist ties,’ vows more vigorous vet…[Read more]

Jake,

Thanks, I’ll read that in greater depth soon. After initial disappointing encounters with AI, some good news is definitely welcome.

PopeBeanie,

You are not alone in your thoughts, though others have broadened those thoughts to the USA and de facto globally:

Giant Meteor for President 2028

Sweet Meteor of Death 2028

I don’t know if these two are rivals, but Giant Meteor ran in 2024…[Read more]

Science Is Not “Truth” but can it be “Holy Shit” still?

Jim Horgan forgets that it is precisely the “impure” practical uses of “pure” science that makes it “Holy Shit” science. We need more science channelled toward “Holy Shit” purposes like healing diabetic foot wounds with the speed of Dr. “Bones” McCoy on Star Trek.

And the people…[Read more]

Reg:

World of Woo: RFK Jr.’s conspiracies make it into MAHA draft report.

I’m actually glad that RFK Jr.’s report didn’t say anything about food eyes that would probably require gallons drank over long periods of time to have any I’ll effect, as with flouride and artificial sweetners.

And I’m glad the report didn’t regard guns and motor v…[Read more]

Unseen,

Yeah, corral them all in one target on the East End of the Mediterranean where they’ll be safe.

How’s that working out for the Jews, Jake?

I can’t speak for Jake, but speaking for myself, you weren’t too keen on the idea of a Zion 2.0 Seastead or my idea of Zionism Plus, that Jews and anyone else have the right to live anywhere the…[Read more]

Unseen,

They are not AI-generated, of course, but their anti-Israel sentiments are in part founded upon anti-Israel sentiments spread by AI-generated propaganda.

It is also telling that the time and resources used by those spreading this AI propaganda are that much less used to assist Gaza civilians.
