I'm assuming that wasn't a dig at Mr Rogers then? That's how I read it the first time.

No, not at all. The Monte Verde site in Chile has hearths, wooden posts, and human footprints. Best estimates using carbon isotope place the date at about 15ka, so actually just a bit older than the oldest material markers in North America.

The multiple pathways thing absolutely had been regarded as tinfoil in the past, but that was a product of how eurocentric and dogmatic the academic communities studying these questions were, even in the face of mounting evidence from colleagues in the far south of the Americas. Good reading on that topic in particular can be found in Red Earth, White Lies by Vine Deloria, Jr.

I'd qualify that, as Deloria has some extremely hoary ideas about Natives not having migrated here "because their mythology says they didn't."

How could the charisma vacuum that is Jeremy Corbyn have possibly lost? We may never know.

The fact that there are people who are confused by this projected loss is astonishing, frankly. John Kerry's 2004 campaign was more relatable than that guy. Willful ignorance is all I can figure.

(Disclaimer: this does not make me a Tory supporter...which would make no sense because I live in loving Ohio.)

So Matt Bevin, noted dingbat lameduck governor of Kentucky, has been issuing some pardons. And, hoo boy, has he picked some real doozies:

Bevin pardons include convicted killer whose brother hosted campaign fundraiser for him
