To Save Physics, Experts Suggest We Need to Assume The Future Can Affect The Past In 2022, the physics Nobel prize was awarded for experimental work showing that the quantum world must break some of our fundamental intuitions about how the Universe works. Many look at those experiments and conclude that they challenge "locality" – the intuition that distant objects need a physical mediator to interact. And indeed, a mysterious connection between distant particles would be one way to explain these experimental results. Others instead think the experiments challenge "realism" – the intuition that there's an objective state of affairs underlying our experience. After all, the experiments are only difficult to explain if our measurements are thought to correspond to something real. Either way, many physicists agree about what's been called "the death by experiment" of local realism. But what if both of these intuitions can be saved, at the expense of a third? A growing group of experts think that we should abandon instead the assumption that present actions can't affect past events. Called "retrocausality", this option claims to rescue both locality and realism. https://www.sciencealert.com/to-save-physics-experts-suggest-we-need-to-assume-the-future-can-affect-the-past

Many people recall only the accusation but not the retraction or correction.

The named "sources" of this woman are probably no less credible than most, if not all of alternate Fox sources.

Meet the ‘Ghost’ Woman Fox Relied on for Voter Fraud Claims A voting machine company’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News has rocked the conservative media giant, exposing rifts between its journalists and the star hosts and executives more concerned with mollifying pro-Trump viewers than accurately reporting that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen. But the strangest revelation so far from the Dominion Voting Systems case against the cable channel may be the alleged source of the voter-fraud claims that sparked the lawsuit: a single email from a previously unknown woman who was convinced, among other things, that late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was murdered while being hunted for sport. That unhinged email to Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell has now become a centerpiece of Dominion’s case, raising questions about how Fox could allow obviously fake claims from a total stranger with no credentials to make it on the air. Even Maria Bartiromo, the Fox host whose show first aired the claims, admitted in a deposition that the email was ridiculous. “It’s kooky, absolutely,” Bartiromo said. But the ideas’ origin is even more “kooky” than Bartiromo might realize. In an interview with The Daily Beast, the woman behind that email—a Minnesota artist named Marlene Bourne—said that she based her now nationally prominent ideas about election fraud on a wide variety of sources, including hidden messages she detects in films, song lyrics she hears on the radio, and overheard conversations she hears while in line at the supermarket checkout. https://www.thedailybeast.com/meet-the-ghost-minnesota-artist-fox-relied-on-for-voter-fraud-claims?ref=home

Mass Backstabbing Spree Over Putin’s War Sweeps Russia - REUTERS Russian citizens are ratting each other out to authorities in droves for anti-war comments made in bars, beauty salons, and grocery stores in roughly a dozen cities across the country, according to a new report from the independent Russian news outlet Vrestka. Legal filings obtained by the outlet from Moscow, Bryansk, Novosibirsk, and other cities indicate that citizens have been turned in for “violations” as minor as cracking a joke about the war, listening to Ukrainian music, or even just talking about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion in a public space. Many of those jailed after being reported by other citizens were charged under Article 20.3.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a new law signed by Putin last year criminalizing “public actions aimed at discrediting” Russian Armed Forces. One Russian man from Bryansk, Mikhail Kolokolnikov, was reportedly fined and jailed for two days after a stranger called authorities on him for saying the phrase “Glory to Ukraine” at a bar on Jan. 15. In an interview with Vrestka, Kolokolniko said that two officers stormed the bar shortly after he said the phrase to another man, demanding to know, “Who said ‘Glory to Ukraine’ here?” “The other day, a rocket hit a house in Dnipro,” Kolokolnikov, who was born in Ukraine, told the outlet—explaining why he said the slogan in a public place. “And I used to walk past this house every day to the beach, along the Pobeda embankment. In short, I was still a little angry because of this.” In another case, Chita resident Ivan Sleponogov was jailed after being accused of saying an anti-war slogan during an Easter church service last April, according to a legal complaint. Sleponogov had allegedly claimed that he was actually chanting “Glory to the guys who died in Ukraine!” in reference to Russian soldiers who were killed in combat, and the case was eventually dropped—after Sleponogov had spent 10 days in jail. Other cases detailed in the Vrestka investigation include complaints made against Russian citizens for playing a Ukrainian song in the car while driving, drunkenly making pro-Ukrainian statements from a balcony, and criticizing the war in private conversations with friends at a coffee shop. The individuals who made the complaints allegedly include eavesdropping neighbors, coworkers, and janitors. In many of the cases, according to the outlet, little to no evidence was provided by witnesses who reported the alleged violations. In some court filings, however, the “anti-war” sentiments allegedly expressed by accused citizens are not so subtle. In Serpukhov, a city near Moscow, two Russian army veterans accused Yuri Nemtov of approaching them at a shopping mall last November with some choice words. “Well, invaders! Go there to die like meat!” he allegedly said. https://www.thedailybeast.com/russians-keep-ratting-each-other-for-criticizing-vladimir-putins-war-in-ukraine?ref=home

Apparently Peladeau wanted broadcast rights to Alouette games as part of the purchase. The CFL has agreed to let him bid on these once the current TSN contract runs out in 2025. This has to be good for the league.

Man convicted in credit card 'skimming' scheme alleges George Santos was the one 'in charge' During his two months in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. George Santos (R-New York) has been inundated with bad publicity. Much of it has surrounded all the lies he told during his 2022 campaign, including false claims that his grandparents were Holocaust survivors and that his mother, Fatima Devolder, was in the World Trade Center during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks (which, according to the New York Times, would have been impossible because records show that Devolder was in Brazil at the time). But there have been other Santos-related controversies as well. In Brazil, prosecutors are investigating the Queens/Long Island congressman for possible fraud and are looking into allegations that he used a stolen checkbook in Rio de Janeiro in the late 2000s. Meanwhile, in a separate fraud cause in the United States, a Brazilian man, Gustavo Ribeiro Trelha, is alleging that Santos (who has also gone by Anthony Devolder) coordinated a credit card skimming scheme in Seattle. According to Politico reporter Jacqueline Sweet, Trelha told federal U.S. officials, in a sworn statement, "I am coming forward today to declare that the person in charge of the crime of credit card fraud when I was arrested was George Santos/Anthony Devolder." Sweet, in an article published by Politico on March 9, reports, "Trelha decided to contact law enforcement officials after seeing the newly minted congressman on television, he said in the declaration…. He was previously questioned about the Seattle scheme by investigators for the U.S. Secret Service, CBS News has reported. He was never charged, but the investigation remains open. Santos also told an attorney friend he was 'an informant' in the fraud case. Trelha insists he was its mastermind." Trelha, who served seven months in jail in the U.S. before being deported back to Brazil in early 2018, alleges that Santos trained him to commit credit card fraud. In a statement to the FBI and federal prosecutors dated March 7, 2023, Trelha alleged, "Santos taught me how to skim card information and how to clone cards. He gave me all the materials and taught me how to put skimming devices and cameras on ATM machines." https://www.alternet.org/george-santos-2659569789/

CFL reaches agreement on sale of Montreal Alouettes: report By 3Down Staff -March 9, 2023 The Montreal Alouettes have finally been sold, according to a new report from Richard Dufour of LaPresse. The deal is expected to be announced during a press conference at Olympic Stadium on Friday morning. CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie will be in attendance. The CFL took over interim control of the Alouettes franchise last month in the hopes of finding a new owner. The team’s future was placed in jeopardy after the estate of the late Sid Spiegel elected to stop funding operations. The Alouettes were originally purchased by S and S Sportsco, a corporate entity owned by Spiegel and his son-in-law Gary Stern, in January 2020. However, Spiegel passed away in July of 2021 having never seen his team play, leaving his 75 percent stake in the franchise under the control of two anonymous lawyers. The team had previously endured a year-long period of league ownership after long-time owner Robert Wetenhall surrender the franchise in May of 2019. The league recently entered into exclusive negotiations with Quebecor Inc. about the sale of the team. The Montreal-based media and telecommunications company operates assets such as Videotron, Groupe TVA, Le Journal de Montreal and Le Journal de Quebec. Their sports and entertainment division currently owns and operates the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The company is controlled by president and CEO Pierre Karl Péladeau, a prominent businessman and former politician who briefly served as the leader of the separatist Parti Québécois. The 61-year-old Montreal native has an estimated net worth of $1.9 billion USD. Either Quebecor or Peladeau himself is expected to be announced as the team’s new owner, with clarity around the structure of ownership coming on Friday morning. Interim team president Mario Cecchini, who helped oversee the search for new owners alongside the league’s investment banking partner Park Lane, was announced as the new commissioner of the QMJHL on Tuesday and will not be returning to the franchise.

Manhattan Prosecutors Signal to Trump That Indictment Is Coming: Report -Reuters The Manhattan district attorney’s office recently gave Donald Trump’s lawyers the clearest signal yet that it plans to file criminal charges against the former president, The New York Times reported Thursday. This hint came in the form of an offer for Trump to go before a grand jury currently hearing evidence about his alleged role in a hush-money arrangement with a porn star, four people familiar with the matter told the Times. He could give his testimony, if he wishes, as soon as next week. Such offers, according to the newspaper, “almost always” signify an impending indictment. The Manhattan inquiry has involved the questioning of at least six other people before the grand jury, including most recently Hope Hicks, a onetime senior aide to Trump. If District Attorney Alvin Bragg ultimately chooses to indict Trump, it will be the first criminal charges the former president has ever faced, and could throw a wrench in the gears of his campaign to get back into the White House in 2024.
