Sabrina Pasterski has been described as the next Einstein, and perhaps that's no surprise given how mind-bending – and potentially transformative – her ideas are.

Musk’s interview went great: Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right? Musk: “I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.” Reporter: I was told that any topic is good. Musk: “Well no.”

If you haven’t watched this yet please do. I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, if this doesn’t move you to vote against the current state of affairs nothing will. Our grandchildren will watch this clip in history class, to better understand the political climate during Trumpism.

FT comments never miss. I don’t think I’ve read such a rational analysis of the situation we’re in for a long time.
I've been in France since 2002 and have never seen the streets so violent nor the politics so extreme. From the sacking of the supermarket on my street to the prospect of Présidente Le Pen, here's me @FT including thoughts from 2 French Nobel laureates as.ft.com/r/addcad57-0f9d-4e…

James Talarico: “I would ask [Ken Paxton] how he increased his net worth by $27M as a public employee. I would ask him how he owns 15 homes on a government salary. I would ask him why he was impeached by his own party and reported to the FBI by his own staff. And I would ask him why he’s taking bribes from wealthy donors while he blocks our overtime pay and guts our healthcare”

I’m re-quoting this because I think anybody in the world who wants to understand anything by asking the question ״why?״ should be forced to watch this first.
In 1983, a BBC interviewer asked Richard Feynman why two magnets push each other apart — and he refused to answer it. What he did instead is the best seven minutes on thinking ever filmed. Bookmark & watch today, no matter what.

“When did you realise that we had completely lost the run of ourselves as a nation, grandad?” “Well, child, just before the big 2027 crash the Irish government used our money to pay for a nationwide campaign which ….. hang on… I’ll show you….”
