Morning Docket: 12.01.21
* In the only country where it is a regular event, the completely unforeseeable 28th school shooting of this year happened in Oxford, Michigan. [NY Times] * Saying Dr. Fauci has Dr. Mengele vibes is decidedly not the best way to celebrate Hanukkah. I know free speech is important; I just wish news sources were more quiet about it from time to time. [Vanity Fair] * If Roe v. Wade gets overturned, it's worth having a battle plan in mind. Here's a good start. [Scientific American] * Professor who goes on record saying "Hey! Sex discrimination is pretty good, actually!" proceeds to double down. Definitely won't be the basis for lawsuits if his female students just happen to have statistically significant lower grades than their male counterparts. [Daily Beast] * Nashville is banning booze on open air party vehicles. Where else are you supposed to drink after eating a goofy spicy chicken sandwich?! A bar?! [Tennessean]
