How would you use a turnstile?

You now have access to a turnstile, similar in size and function to the Oslo turnstile. It is on your private property and no one else knows about it. You are not allowed to disassemble or study the turnstile itself, it is just a black box that can invert stuff. How do you use it?

Nolan made Oppenheimer (2023) so that Tenet (2020) would be easier to explain

Priya's lesson on the Algorithm is incomprehensible if you don't know who Oppenheimer was. Nolan made Oppenheimer just to make Tenet easier to explain. Well, that one part anyway. Important to the plot, that Algorithm...

Tenet is pretty awesome, amirite?

Interview with Segovia, age 90, in 1983

Selected quotes:

> I did not know Tarrega. I was a little boy when he died. He intended to come to Granada, where I was living, because a friend of my family wrote to him. He answered and said he would come. But in the meantime he died.

:(

> The second goal was to create a repertoire which was not a repertoire by guitarist composers – with the exception of Sor and Giuliani. Tarrega was not a big composer; and the other composers were not very musical.

Provocative statement

> Now there is another inconvenience – the strings. Dupont made the first nylon strings for me in 1947. They were superb. I had them for eight months before changing them. But about three years ago I telephone Dupont to say that their strings were very bad. They told me that when I came back to New York they were going to send me the head of the plastics section. ... Then I called Augustine, because Augustine had made the strings. And the head of the plastics department told me that the quality of the nylon they had sent to Augustine was not so good on account of the crisis in petroleum. He told me that as soon as they got out of this crisis they would send me a better quality of nylon. The petroleum crisis – can you imagine!

I can imagine.
