News magazine rankings aside, hard to argue that Chicago was not one of the greatest, if not the greatest, American university in the second half of the 20th century.
One of the privileges of being at the University of Chicago was interacting with great scholars like Richard Posner. As this obit says, he was one of the rare people who ever change their minds. At first he knew behavioral economics was wrong, but he softened over time. @CassSunstein

The View is daytime television for those too dim to follow the plots of soap operas.
Sunny Hostin celebrates Veteran's Day with racism and some serious revisionist history. She claims Abraham Lincoln didn't emancipate anyone and the North didn't free the slaves. She claims the slaves did all "themselves":
"People often say that Abraham Lincoln emancipated the slaves. The slaves basically emancipated themselves because they wanted freedom and they fought for their freedom."

Upon hearing that the lot was set to be developed, McCollum recalls that she “was like, ‘Oh, hell no.’” Why? Were the weeds sacrosanct? Were the server racks destined to be installed atop ground that, in happier days, played host to a beloved Foot Locker?nationalreview.com/article/t…

Barkley: "Some idiot, fool or jackass thought it would be appropiate to compare Austin Reaves to Larry Bird...Don't compare him to Bird under no damn circumstances. Yeah, they’re both white. That’s the only thing they have in common.”

An oldy but goody. An Evidence Appraisal of the often cited Surgical Checklist article. When assessed in a sructured way, it falls short-short enough that it probably should not have driven policy as much as it did-especially since a higher quality study showed that checklists did not reduce surgical complications. Stay tuned for that one...

BREAKING: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that the reason this 2x previously deported illegal alien was released into the country after his third illegal crossing in 2019 is because he claimed to be transgender and claimed fear of being killed in his home country on his asylum application, which was approved in early 2020. DHS has provided that section from his application 👇🏻
DHS alleges that this was a blatant case of asylum fraud and the “gaming of a weak asylum system.”
This detail first scooped by @JennieSTaer.

NEW: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested on a Newark to New Orleans United flight last night for allegedly storming the cockpit and claiming to have a bomb, leading to United putting out a hijack alert for the plane, is a 2x previously deported Honduran illegal alien.
Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s office once the flight landed at MSY (New Orleans airport) and he has been charged with felony bomb threat, terroristic threats, and disorderly conduct.
Per DHS - Gomez-Alberto crossed the Texas border illegally in 2011 and was deported, then illegally re-entered through the New Mexico border in 2014 and was deported a second time. He illegally re-entered the country a third time in 2019, was arrested by Border Patrol, but was released from custody after an immigration judge ordered his release.
He is currently being held without bond by law enforcement in Louisiana.

Terrific @TheAtlantic piece on archaeologists' and anthropologists' slowly dawning realization that now-submerged areas on the coastal shelf--swathes of land drowned when the glaciers melted--may be where much of our species' early history took place. (Link in reply)

Incredible stuff.
A Maryland mall closed down over 20 years ago and the lot has been sitting vacant since. A developer planned to invest $5 billion in a data center.
Instead, a China-tied group worked with a local activist to block the development.
