What is this wizardry? I'm joined by a semi-anonymous expert who explains all about quantum computers. How they work, how they don't work, what's a qubit, all that kind of stuff. She also explains the limitations. After that, I explain why the delay in episodes and go on an unhinged rant about my new obsession... quantum computers... They're impossible and it's amazing!
Look for part 2 soon, in which Anne tells us how far away we actually are from real, working quantum computers. Are they about to crack all our passwords?

At the start of the 20th century, the world’s third-largest lake was located in Central Asia. It had been known to the people of the Asian steppes for thousands of years.
However, by the end of the 20th century, the lake had all but disappeared.
Somehow, over the course of a century, one of the world’s largest bodies of fresh water had all but vanished, stranding the many ships which once sailed the lake.
Learn more about the Aral Sea and how it disappeared on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

By the Tet Offensive in early 1968, what had been widely heralded as the best qualified, best-trained army in US history was descending into crisis as the Vietnam War raged without end. Morale was tanking. AWOL rates were rising. And in August of that year, a group of Black soldiers seized control of the infamous Long Binh Jail, burned buildings, and beat a white inmate to death with a shovel. The days of "same mud, same blood" were over, and by the end of the decade, a new generation of Black GIs had decisively rejected the slights and institutional racism their forefathers had endured.
In An Army Afire: How the US Army Confronted Its Racial Crisis in the Vietnam Era (UNC Press, 2023), acclaimed military historian Beth Bailey shows how the Army experienced, defined, and tried to solve racism and racial tension (in its own words, "the problem of race") in the Vietnam War era. Some individuals were sympathetic to the problem but offered solutions that were more performative than transformational, while others proposed remedies that were antithetical to the army's fundamental principles of discipline, order, hierarchy, and authority. Bailey traces a frustrating yet fascinating arc where the army initially rushed to create solutions without taking the time to fully identify the origins, causes, and proliferation of racial tension. It was a difficult, messy process, but only after Army leaders ceased viewing the issue as a Black issue and accepted their own roles in contributing to the problem did change become possible.
Beth Bailey is Foundation Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Kansas.

In a series of high-profile cable news firings Monday morning, Fox News announced that the network agreed to part ways with top host Tucker Carlson — and just minutes later, news broke that CNN terminated longtime anchor Don Lemon after 17 years with the network.
President Biden is expected to announce his 2024 bid for re-election as soon as today. Multiple outlets reported that he tapped White House Senior Adviser Julia Chavez Rodriguez as his campaign manager, signaling that he’s already gearing up to make his case for a second term.
And in headlines: North Dakota’s Republican governor signed legislation banning abortions after six weeks, demonstrators gathered at Montana’s Capitol to protest the censure of Rep. Zooey Zephyr, and more celebrities came out to say they did not sign up for Twitter Blue.

In this episode, Rivers and Carter are hangin' out in Avondale Park in Birmingham, Alabama with Magic City comedy superstar and one of our all-time favorite guests: Narado Moore! Rivers and Carter both happen to be down South to attend various weddings and they share some recent tales from those affairs over a few small plastic cups of Dr. Pepper's excellent new Stawberries and Cream soda! Rivers then takes us down into another history deep dive. This one deals with the absolutely insane life of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone and so much more. We also chat about Cy Vierstra, the former fiscal officer of Vinton Township, Ohio who spent the town's money on a laundry list of insane things including a popcorn machine and a live wildebeest. Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" is our JAM OF THE WEEK. Give us a listen!
