Sir Anthony (Tony) Leggett, who died this past week, was truly a gentleman and a scholar. He was kind and humble, not always the attributes of a brilliant scientist. After first receiving a classics degree at Oxford, he went for a second degree in physics.

His Nobel winning work was for extraordinarily sophisticated analysis of NMR data proving that recently observed superfluidity in the isotope helium-3 represented novel pairing of the atoms into so called "spin triplets" - helium-3 ...

And it is not new or age related "shrinkage" - here he is with 6'4" George Foreman (left) and 6'2" Evander Holyfield (right) in 1991. He is 2" shorter than Holyfield

Tom Cotton (left) is 6'5"

Trump (right) is clearly not 6'3"

John Thune (right) is 6'4".

Trump (left) is clearly not 6'3"

Trump is clearly not 6'3"

Tariffs, deportation, and now this: Trump’s illegal war on Iran has caused gasprices to jump. In Kansas City, in one day they went above $3 for the first time since last fall.

Trump doesn't care about you-he cares about Bibi, MSB, billionaires.

đź§µThe "Punk in the Park" punk rock festival gas been canceled since it was revealed the founder, Cameron Collins, was a major Trump donor in 2024. His political stance runs counter to the anti- authoritarian ethos at the core of punk music.

Scott Ostler on the World Cup and Iran (which has qualified):

"Never before has a World Cup nation’s team boycotted the event for political reasons. Never before has a host nation bombed a fellow World Cup nation during the run-up to the tournament."

Will they come? Will Trump let them?
