Taylor Swift is registering more voters than anyone
Taylor Swift, an artist not typically associated with political activism, has unexpectedly emerged as a formidable champion for voter registration in the United States. Swift's recent concert tour and her influential presence on social media have resulted in an astonishing surge in voter registrations, with over 35,000 new voters enlisted. What is particularly remarkable is the extent of her influence over her predominantly youthful fan base, potentially yielding substantial sway over the upcoming 2024 elections. It is regrettable that the United States lacks an automatic voter registration system, necessitating the involvement of celebrities in voter registration initiatives. While the transition to automatic registration may be gradual, possibly occurring on a state-by-state basis, initiatives like those led by Swift will continue to hold immense value in boosting youth voter participation and shaping favorable electoral outcomes.
Vivek Ramaswamy puts his wife in a TERRIBLE position
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has put his wife, Apoorva Ramaswamy, a surgeon, in a delicate position by publicly expressing regrets about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. In an NBC News interview, Apoorva Ramaswamy carefully navigates this challenge, acknowledging the vaccine's benefits but emphasizing patient autonomy rather than offering a clear endorsement of the vaccine. Her response, while somewhat evasive, underscores the tension between her medical expertise and her husband's position catering to vaccine skeptics. It's apparent that Apoorva faces pressure not to contradict her husband's stance, leading to a complex and challenging situation for her. It's possible that she might express her true perspective more openly once Vivek's political campaign concludes. It’s also quite possible that Vivek actually does side with his wife on the matter, but pretends not to as a way to appeal to the Trump voter base.

Trump privately PANICKING that he's going to prison for life
A recent investigative report from Rolling Stone has unveiled that former President Donald Trump is privately grappling with the daunting prospect of spending his life behind bars. As his four legal trials loom, Trump has been reported to ask questions about potential prison conditions, such as the type of facility he might be placed in, the availability of Secret Service protection, and even the attire he would be required to wear. This internal anxiety suggests a closer connection to reality than his public façade conveys. With 91 felony counts looming over him and the potential for any significant sentence amounting to a de facto life sentence given his age, the gravity of his legal troubles cannot be underestimated. While the ultimate outcome remains uncertain, Trump's mounting legal peril is largely a consequence of his own actions and decisions, as he had numerous opportunities to avoid the predicament he currently faces.

HOLY $&!T: Trump aide says Giuliani groped her breasts
Former New York City Mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani faces a series of worsening controversies, including allegations of sexual misconduct. Ex-Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson has accused Giuliani of groping her on January 6th during the pre-riot speeches. She describes Giuliani as a predator, recounting how he put his hand under her blazer and skirt. These allegations add to Giuliani's growing list of troubles, which includes his involvement in promoting baseless voter fraud claims, public humiliation, and his association with Trump's legal challenges. Giuliani has also faced criminal charges in Georgia and lawsuits from his own lawyers for unpaid fees. The allegations from Hutchinson are disturbing, and if proven true, could have serious legal consequences for Giuliani. The timing of these allegations, which coincide with the release of Hutchinson's forthcoming book, has raised questions about the motivation behind waiting to come forward with the accusations. Regardless, Giuliani's fall from grace is undeniable, and these latest allegations only add to his legal and personal woes.

MAGA thinks they are lied to. They see hoaxes all around them. One of the biggest of these hoaxes is Science. MAGA, not understanding science, laughs at Science. It is not hard to laugh at Science. Here is an example I perform to get students to think seriously about science.*** What a joke! They say action and reaction are equal and opposite.Are they ever?Equal?! Opposite?!But this is what they say.They say, if you put your hand on the wall and push with a force of ten pounds, the wall will push back with a force of ten pounds. Action and reaction are equal and opposite. What a joke!Did you see the wall pushing back? Does a wall ever push back? A wall is a wall. A wall pushing back?! What a joke!Does a wall ever do anything? Action and reaction are equal and opposite. What a joke!And you know what they say too? They say, if you increase your force to twenty pounds, the wall will pushback with twenty pounds! Immediately!!! Rightaway!!! Faster than any Kung Fu master you can ever find. Faster than Bruse Lee.What a joke!***Can you blame MAGA for thinking that Science is a hoax? How can anybody know what is going on inside the wall?MAGA is threatening democracy. We need to take immediate action. Perhaps we can initiate a crash programme to convince anyone who would listen (and talk) that things hidden can be known. Science is not a hoax. Scientists, like babies, are codebreakers. The whole point in breaking codes is to know, really know, what you cannot see!Do you know that Newton was the foremost codebreaker in England at the time?
If I give you the solution of the SBR string (a simple cipher), on hearing it you could ask me: How do you know?
I deciphered it.
Let me see! Yes, you are right. I got the same answer too.
…
Action and reaction are equal and opposite.
How do you know?
The Third Law of Motion. Newton’s Third Law of Motion. He discovered it.
How?
By treating Nature as a cipher.
…
The Double Helix …
Yes?
You know there was quite a controversy when it was discovered?
Yes, I know. There was a contestant: the Triple Helix. They managed to eliminate it.
Sherlock Holmes!
Sherlock Holmes?
The method of elimination: When you have eliminated all that which is impossible, whatever remains, must be the truth.
Neat!
…
The election was stolen.
It was not. There is no evidence that it was.
There is plenty of evidence. [Blah! Blah! Blah!]
They are not evidence. They are all false clues. They led nowhere.
…
It is not that hard to talk about knowledge as decipherment. And when you do, you eliminate a lot of misunderstandings, intentional or not.
Of course, this assumes the audience understands why cryptanalysis leads you to the truth.
