Trump’s executive order banning modern designs for all federal buildings is not about his love of french neoclassicism is much as it’s a parting gift to his friends in the concrete industry if you know what mean. I call this architectural style: bada-bing arts.

Back in the 1980s and 1990s, Trump’s buildings and his casinos attracted underworld figures like “Fat Tony” Salerno, the Fedora-wearing, cigar-chomping boss of the Genovese crime family. Salerno, who’s portrayed in the film by Domenick Lombardozzi, supplied the fast-drying concrete that built Trump Tower and other Trump properties. Salerno also controlled the local concrete workers union, and when a strike shut down construction in Manhattan in 1982, the one of the few buildings that wasn’t affected was Trump Tower.

Just in time for Hulu’s Animaniacs revival, Variety is reporting that Kevin Dillon has signed on to play one of the Warner brothers in Dennis Quaid’s Ronald Reagan biopic—a film that we are now realizing will involve the actual Warner brothers and not Yakko, Wakko, or their Warner sister Dot, even though a live-action Animaniacs starring Kevin Dillon, horrible as that would be, sounds much more appealing than a Ronald Reagan biopic. We get it, he was a Republican and a movie star and he called his wife “mommy.” So cool.

Specifically, Dillon will be playing Jack Warner in director Sean McNamara’s 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 Reagan’s first wife Jane Wyman, and Jon Voight—taking time away from crossing his fingers that he’ll get to be a general in Trump’s army when the second Civil War hits—will 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 Trump’s COVID PSA scheme with Quaid didn’t work out, or else this all could’ve been avoided.

Your Simple (Yes, Simple) Guide to Quantum Entanglement
Quantum 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 we’ll call c-ons. The “c” is meant to suggest “classical,” but if you’d 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, we’re 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 phenomenon—that 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...
