Here we go again. Monday is back, after an all-too-short weekend. In my case, I spent it quite happily blasting apart things on HALO Infinite – which genuinely is the best game in the series since H3. But one can only do that for so long before one needs to sleep and rest, and in my case, I got so spun up having fun, that I rather failed to have enough sleep (at least, on Saturday). Oh well.
However, all good things come to an end, so we are now confronted by yet another Monday. That is why, of course, the Great Mondaydact Browser Mower exists, to make the day pass by a bit faster.
This week, let us kick things off with the greatest muscle cars ever made:
One other thing – this week, to save on time, I am not going to bother providing segments or descriptions before the videos below. I will simply let the titles of the videos speak for themselves, within individual sections. I might just stick to that practice in future, as putting these things together every week, requires a MINIMUM of three hours of concentrated effort. Quite often, I simply run out of time, or I have to start doing these late on a Monday.
So, for now, pull up a chair, and enjoy the show.
#BasedTucker is Based
Absolutely phenomenal, must-watch interview. You will learn more about economics from that one discussion, than you will from an entire year spent in a university course.

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from The Male Brain, and looks at how God’s process of Creation seemingly defies, in some ways, the very Laws of Physics He wrote for the Universe:
Odd elastohydrodynamics nudges physics to widen its scope. Whenever local engines pump energy into soft matter – whether in muscle fibers, developing embryos, or swarms of bacterial flagella – equal-and-opposite can give way to rich new patterns.
Measuring odd-elastic moduli across systems may reveal common threads that tie together biology’s many moving parts.
For now, Ishimoto, Moreau, and Yasuda have carved out a clear path from curious microscope videos to a mathematical toolkit and, eventually, to devices that mimic sperm and their flagellum – life’s tiniest swimmers.
By mapping how flagella bend the rules, they show that nature’s solutions to sticky problems can inspire technology that glides just as smoothly through the thickest of soups.
