Paramount said late Tuesday that it had agreed to pay Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the editing of an interview on the CBS News program “60 Minutes,” an extraordinary bribe to a sitting president by a major media organization.
Paramount said its payment included Trump’s legal fees and costs and that the money, minus the legal fees, would be paid to Mr. Trump’s future presidential library. (wink, wink)

Frustrated vacancy ordering creates novel quantum properties in Kutinaite, $\mathrm{Ag}_{6}\mathrm{Cu}_{14.4}\mathrm{As}_7$
Ideal crystals are fully ordered, but real-world crystals always contain defects breaking translational symmetry. Random defects in crystals have important implications and they e.g. provide the foundation for semiconductor-based electronic devices. Structurally correlated defects introduce an additional level of complexity, which may lead to novel materials properties, but rationalization of relations between correlated disorder and the emergent material properties are very rare. Here we repor…

I was raised in a trailer park. Growing up, that got me called a lot of names. After enough times, it’s easy to start to believe it yourself.
