Quantum optic experiments give weird results because the experimentalist is recording their own proper time and assigning it to the EM wave they are testing. The EM wave has no proper time, it doesn't matter how long the experiment lasts as long as the quantum state is not disturbed.

You know that poem that goes, "first they came for the ... " ? It should have started with "First they came for queerfolk and the disabled", because that's what actually happened.
Karen Chhour is quoted in this piece actively promoting conversion practices, after previously comparing gender affirming care to torture at Lake Alice. This coalition is evil. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Govt halts new puberty blockers prescriptions for gender-affirming care

My feelings toward Charlie Kirks death are akin to a Darwin award. School children in the US put up with the daily threat of gun violence in their schools, go through active shooter drills, and get things like bullet-proof backpacks advertised as being sound investments.

I think everyone should remember that Charlie Kirk got absolutely destroyed in his final debate on gun control.

If the US had proper hate speech laws CK would still be alive.. 'cause he'd be in prison. He thought gay people should be stoned to death and that the state should murder doctors who provide gender affirming care.

If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this:
Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the “radical Left” the more acute threat.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”
