This is a manuscript I am particularly happy with. It concerns topics I have been working on for my PhD, entanglement theory, going back to the work of Bennett et al. Yet it still has a fresh flavour, relating the subject to modern developments in quantum computing. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Why go to the APS meeting and discuss the devices you actually have when you can go to NVIDIA party and hype up the devices you would like to have?

The President is threatening to send anyone who burns a Tesla to the scary prison in El Salvador. Luckily, I've never burned a Tesla car and have no plans to. Clearly it's not a good idea! I do, however, plan to never ever buy one. Is that terrorism too?

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
