- Remembering  Anthony Bourdain

- Today's must read is Darryl Cooper (Martyr Made) explaining his viral Twitter thread that was read on air by Tucker Carlson and referenced at CPAC by President Trump. Interesting to note that it appeared on Glenn Greenwald's Substack. To quote a lyric, "There's something happening here, what it is is not exactly clear."

- Heh Heh

- Understanding Quantum Mechanics. (Posting this so I can come back until I've watched all the videos.)

- VDH: Trump Winds and Biden Whirlwinds. Karma is a bitch.

A Brief History of Quantum Mechanics

Sean Carroll does a pretty good job on the history of quantum mechanics in this hour long video.

Pilot Wave Theory

If someone asked me what my deeply held unpopular belief was - I'd probably have to answer Pilot Wave Theory. I don't pretend to understand the math but the "common sense" spidey-sense in me tingles when I hear or read about Pilot Wave Theory.

Quantum Mechanics for Dummies

Well done.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I keep waiting for some MSM reporter to explain where the chemical weapons in Syria came from in the first place. I bet much of the stockpiles came from Saddam but reporting that would ruin the idea that there were never any WMD's in Iraq... Hopefully the Zuckerberg hearings in Europe will be broadcast in the US... Could dark matter simply be the leftover quantum entanglement from the matter and antimatter that was annihilated just after the Big Bang?... Elon Musk might end up being President Trump's biggest supporter if Trump can get Musk a manufacturing plant in China without giving up ownership and if Trump can get the NTSB off Tesla's back... "Tiger" running amok in Manhattan was actually a raccoon.  And the existential threat to the fabric of Western Civilization was actually just a Chick Fil-A franchise... Historically - which rock band was more dysfunctional The Kinks or The Ramones?...  The truth in advertising back cover to James Comey's new book...
