Since its première, in 2022, “Slow Horses”—Apple TV’s fast-paced espionage drama about a division of MI5 where the screwups and sluggards end up—has become “a treasure to those in the know, and a nonentity to outsiders,” Inkoo Kang writes. The show, starring Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden, boasts nearly two dozen Emmy nominations, and a few wins, but has never reached the breakout status of “Ted Lasso” or “Severance.” Read why Kang thinks the underrated program is the best on Apple TV:newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Eo…

My deep dive on the "A.I.-driven" Alpha School, revealing their internal learning and enrollment data for the first time, just as the network expands into public education.
There is a big gap between the marketing and reality.

I actually enjoyed “You can see everything” but people need to understand that this is not a documentary. And the device Elizabeth showed Nathan WAS NOT THE DEVICE

“You call something out amongst your brothers that will potentially bring the fraternity down, the idea of the potential retaliation is high. It doesn't mean they shouldn't be doing it."

Lincoln University students and alumni say the state of Missouri intentionally underfunded its land-grant HBCU.

New: In February, a Michigan State University dean enthusiastically recommended an assistant chemistry professor for promotion and tenure. A month later, he told her she was under investigation and escorted her out of the building with orders not to return. chroni.cl/4jHGaJl

What happens when a field has a history in which an ascendant faction within a scholarly community misrepresents evidence in order to punish a political rival. My take on some disputes in anthropology: chronicle.com/article/anthro…

Joseph Henrich’s 107-page report argues that anthropology is in “a recognized crisis,” driven in part by a split over advocacy, objectivity, and methods.
The AAA’s president rejects that claim: “There is no indication … that anthropology has eroded its standards.” chroni.cl/4jrembV

NEW: I talked to Joseph Henrich about why he wanted to tackle the issue of politicization in anthropology for the Vanderbilt humanities commission, what he found out, and what he thought of my Q&A with the head of the American Anthropological Association. chronicle.com/article/the-ha…

SCOOP: Top researchers at Columbia, Stanford, and others thought they were elected to elite scientific societies alongside Nobel laureates. The catch? The organizations are a sham.

Please everyone stop paying attention to how AI might kill us because ... my first audio story is out!
The miniseries is called Street Fight. It's about a debate roiling American cities, especially on the West Coast: what do you do about a person who has nowhere to go and no intention of leaving?
Episode 1 covers the surprisingly modern history of homelessness in America, and tells the story of one woman who once fought for her right to live on a New York City sidewalk.
Give it a listen — and if you subscribe to Longview, you can get all three episodes right now:

Remarkable reporting by @stephaniemlee:
A forthcoming book claims that a Smithsonian study has settled the debate about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. But a relative has dropped out of the research, concerned that the book is leapfrogging peer review by a scientific journal. chroni.cl/4yKiAA3
