NBC says the quiet part out loud
LA won’t have results tonight because tonz of mail-in ballots will be arriving over the next few days which will help the Democrats
This is how they cheat
Sacrificed a good night's sleep last night for this. Michelle's ability to synthesize unimaginably complex concepts into accessible conversation for the masses is impressive.
This was one of the most interesting conversations I’ve had in a while.
Michelle Thaller a wealth of fascinating information about space, time and all things the cosmos. And she’s an incredibly compelling speaker. These kinds of podcasts are some of my favorites

New: Joe Rogan speechless after a moment of human genius on Wheel of Fortune with Eric Weinstein:
Context: Woman solves 27 letter answer with only 1 letter already being filled in.
We won’t spoil the answer so you can see if you would’ve figured it out.
ROGAN: “That’s insane. That lady’s a wizard.”
WEINSTEIN: “That lady is what I want to do with my life. That’s what great physics looks like. It’s fully irresponsible, yet genius at the same time.”
@martinmbauer The irony of calling Sabine’s take ‘wishful thinking’ while assuming our current understanding of c must be eternally fundamental. History of physics disagrees.
Astrophysicists have a new, and slightly terrifying, explanation for the Fermi paradox, or the question of why we have found no evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.
The dumbest narratives:
“The mere suggestion that COVID may well have come from a laboratory is a racist and paranoid conspiracy theory.”
“Immigration is the rarest thing in economics: essentially a ‘free lunch’ with no downsides. Unless you are a xenophobe.”
“Quantum Gravity has been the Holy Grail of theoretical physics since the birth of relativity and the quantum.”
“Vaccines are safe. Full stop. Unless you are a paranoid anti-vaxxer.”
“Americans can’t do science and aren’t interested in it because they are lazy. Thankfully Asia sends us their best and their brightest.”
“String Theory is the only Game in town and has been for more than 40 years.”
“You are imagining rates of inflation far higher than CPI. You just don’t seem to understand translog aggregator functions and superlative index theory.”
“Peer Review has always been, and continues to be, fundamental to science and dates to the very founding of the Royal Society hundreds of years ago. Only the weak say otherwise.”
All derive from policy types. None of the above are true. None are scientific. They are provably false.
This is it.
