When you make a movie, you can play it back at any speed you like :-). If it were shown in real time it would take 4 years and be far less interesting to watch :-)

Hillbilly Isis. I hadn't heard that term for MAGA people before. Seems suitable.

Watch The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics | Prime Video The Many Hidden Worlds of Quantum Mechanics is about why we should take the Many-Worlds Interpretation seriously, as arguably the best explanation of quantum mechanics, the science of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic scales. In 24 fascinating lectures, Professor Sean Carroll guides you through the history, reasoning, and implications of this bold idea.

Did you know my Great Courses offering on The Many Worlds of Quantum Mechanics is available on Amazon Prime? I think I have a couple of other courses there, too. They don't tell me anything.

First there was Kamiokande, then Super Kamiokande, and next Hyper Kamiokande. It will be tough to come up with a name for it's successor :-)

#boycotGeneralMotors After the BILLIONS of dollars of support that the Canadian taxpayers have given to General Motors in the last decade, the company continues to close plants and screw Canadian workers. Never again will I buy a new GM car or truck.

This is not a dangerous precedent. It's happened several times in Canadian politics, both in provincial and federal elections. Even Liberals have done this.

This is not at all unprecedented in Canadian politics. Leaders have lost their seats before and had others give up a seat in support. Rare, not not unprecedented nor corrupt.

No Tariff Exemptions for American Farmers They voted for the tariffs when they voted for Trump.

No to the proposed Trump farm bailout.

American farmers overwhelmingly voted for Trump, they should pay the same tariffs their candidate has imposed on all other Americans, no special handouts. From @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I am surprised that DHS views the risk of right wing extremism as high. It seems that they have already won and have taken full control.

It's not the world that has treated America badly. It's just MAGA that has treated America badly.

Mark Carney was just asked to respond to Trump's threat to hit Canada with more tariffs if Canada coordinates a response with the EU. He said:

"We're a soviereign nation. We take our own decisions. I take note of his comments. Nothing more."

The sentiment is good, but it's something that should have happened 4 years ago. Now it's like closing the barn door after the horse is gone.

I certainly hope I am incorrect, but based on recent events I suspect your country has already gone too far to recover.

I doubt there will be another election. Even if there is, it certainly will be as corrupt as Putin's elections.

I find it interesting that society has more rage for Musk than it does for Trump.

America needs to realize, that one of the best things it's ever done was to provide an excellent environment for emigrating European scientists in the lead up to WWII. This made America great. Now the environment is like prewar Germany which will reverse the flow of brain power.

According to the Washington Post, more than half of Musk's Tesla stock is used as collateral to secure various loans. The stock is now well below what it was when he put it up part of his Twitter finance deal. On that deal he has to be very close to getting a margin call.
