Orson Wells was not a fan of Elia Kazan..
Never forgave him for naming names to McCarthy's HUAC..

Pete Seeger on the other hand did forgive Burl Ives.
On the other end of the spectrum naming names was considered a virtue in Ronald Reagan's circles.

Specifically, Dillon will be playing Jack Warner in director Sean McNamaras Reagan, who was sort of the Yakko-esque leader of the group (but in a conniving way instead of a fun way). He also named names to the House Un-American Activities Committee, which is definitely not Yakko-esque. So maybe this is nothing like the Animaniacs? Either way, Quaid is starring in Reagan as the man himself, with Penelope Ann Miller as Nancy Reagan, Mena Suvari playing Reagans first wife Jane Wyman, and Jon Voighttaking time away from crossing his fingers that hell get to be a general in Trumps army when the second Civil War hitswill be playing a KGB agent keeping tabs on Reagan. This movie sounds like a blast, huh?
Production on Reagan just resumed after a two-week suspension at the end of October after a COVID-19 outbreak among crew members. Too bad Trumps COVID PSA scheme with Quaid didnt work out, or else this all couldve been avoided.

Quantum Entanglement
https://twitter.com/novapbs/status/1338891570121076736Quantum entanglement is thought to be one of the trickiest concepts in science, but the core issues are simple.
Entanglement arises in situations where we have partial knowledge of the state of two systems. For example, our systems can be two objects that well call c-ons. The c is meant to suggest classical, but if youd prefer to have something specific and pleasant in mind, you can think of our c-ons as cakes.
Our c-ons come in two shapes, square or circular, which we identify as their possible states. Then the four possible joint states, for two c-ons, are (square, square), (square, circle), (circle, square), (circle, circle). The following tables show two examples of what the probabilities could be for finding the system in each of those four states.
We say that the c-ons are independent if knowledge of the state of one of them does not give useful information about the state of the other. Our first table has this property. If the first c-on (or cake) is square, were still in the dark about the shape of the second. Similarly, the shape of the second does not reveal anything useful about the shape of the first.
On the other hand, we say our two c-ons are entangled when information about one improves our knowledge of the other. Our second table demonstrates extreme entanglement. In that case, whenever the first c-on is circular, we know the second is circular too. And when the first c-on is square, so is the second. Knowing the shape of one, we can infer the shape of the other with certainty.
he quantum version of entanglement is essentially the same phenomenonthat is, lack of independence. In quantum theory, states are described by mathematical objects called wave functions. The rules connecting wave functions to physical probabilities introduce very interesting complications, as we will discuss, but the central concept of entangled knowledge, which we have seen already for classical probabilities, carries over...

Nazi Germany
Rick did an episode about the rise of fascism in Nazi Germany a few weeks ago.
The parallels that he drew between Hitler and Trump were clear. The frequent rallies. Pushing propaganda by repeating the same lies over and over. Scapegoating certain groups and turning his thugs on them. Also the complicity of his corporate sponsors.
