Northwestern University economist Chuck Manski studies decision-making amid uncertainty. That prepared him better than many other cancer patients to decide whether to stay on an immunotherapy treatment that was making him very ill. For six months in 2022, Manski received monthly infusions of nivolumab to fight advanced melanoma. The drug ruined his thyroid gland, he said, requiring him to go on a special medication for the rest of his life, and caused severe dryness in his eyes, lips, and mouth. The Food and Drug Administration’s protocol for the drug called for an entire year of treatment, but Manski said his...

Former Yale University liberal arts student Gustavo Gordillo, 38, was fired from his apprenticeship program in March after ghosting his employer for months, meaning he never made it as a fully-credentialed electrician, the IBEW Local 3 union confirmed Wednesday. “After learning of Mr. Gordillo’s prolonged absence from and failure to participate in required work and classes, the trustees of the Joint Apprentice Training Committee...

Charles Baudelaire, a French poet, gets credit for the line about the Devil’s greatest trick being to convince you he doesn’t exist. (No, it wasn’t Kevin Spacey in the movie “The Usual Suspects.”) Usually people reach for it to describe evil operating in plain view, unbothered, because nobody bothers to look.It came to mind reading the Democratic Socialists of America’s 2025-2026 platform.

Explanation: Whatdunit? What disappeared while crossing a partially eclipsed Sun? Let’s present the evidence. The 24 frames-per-second video was taken in Spain (40°34'30.3"N 1°12'28.8"W) at 20:28 local time on August 12, 2026. The Perseids meteor shower was at its peak during this time. Is this a meteor?

Dashcam footage captured a harrowing multi-vehicle collision Tuesday morning in the southbound lanes of the 170 Freeway that launched one vehicle over the center divider.
