Barnett's boast--we managed to unsettle firmly established law via a rushed literature--is a remarkable affirmation of Critical Legal Studies. He also seems to be signaling that the Court would support a ban on "birth tourism," which seems right to me, alas.

Three downfalls in one evening.

if i were participating in a world soccer tournament i would simply not have accepted a tainted gift from the trickster king of the fae realm

People obsessed with making a lot of money, becoming very famous, writing a huge amount, influencing others: all of them have a deep need for attention, which an LLM feeds to the point of breaking their predictive and analytic capacities.

if you thought México losing meant Los Angeles would not be blasting fireworks you would be wrong

Voters are pretty smart

No tsar, all boyars at this point

A great and thorough investigation into a specific instance of what @bonniehonig.bsky.social (cited along the way) calls “public things.”

On the Declaration of Independence

To my great dismay, not because I wanted more exposure, two major international news outlets canceled on me last minute yesterday after the decision dropped. Both believed the danger had passed b/c the birthright was upheld. They should've let me explain. I am doing so in a blog this AM.

As @joshchafetz.bsky.social keeps saying: keep your eye on the expansion of judicial, not only the expansion of executive, power. 4/4

Thank you, @WienersCircle 📍 Chicago

Job!

Is there some sort of international relations term for this, such as “weekend wars” or “market-driven peace dividend?”

Happy 100th Birthday!

I find fascinating how the US golpe of Maduro has scrambled the assumptions of reflexive pro- and anti- American sentiments.

Two guards stand before your vessel, Oman and Iran. One always lies, and one always tells the truth….

tbf future political scientists will probably have a hard time explaining not only why Starmer decided to pursue a strategy that literally everyone thought was a bad idea; but also why he never tried to course correct when it became glaringly obvious that the wheels were coming off

Academic political science is actually well positioned to understand "the adjunctification of the Prime Ministership."

Who would have thought that once journals could charge an Open Access fee for every paper published they would turn off quality control and publish much more? Actually I did not predict this assuming there would be sufficient academic control to maintain standards. But those academics were fired.

the strait pass was damm’d

This is not wild in the least. The Orban money spigot has been turned off. There will be a few true believers left, but this is the first heel turn among many.

Nog even over die algenvijver in DC. Het is nog erger dan gedacht. Ze hebben hem niet ‘gerenoveerd’, ze hebben hem gesloopt 😂

I think this claim is true but also would argue that basing such a strong statement on vibes alone is unsound and gives ammunition to those who think you just dislike AI. It is worded as though it is proven and cited, but is neither.

Reading this thread I simply cannot fathom the speed with which some scholars *resign* their vocation the moment the option to defer to AI arises. I fought many years for the privilege to write and teach. Even if AI *could* do my job (it can’t) they will have to pry it from my cold dead hands

Just to state the obvious: they can't be bothered because it would seriously cut into their business model, which is to serve as a high-tech paper mill service. Per a 2024 @nytimes.com guest essay by @erikhoel.blogsky.venki.dev: www.nytimes.com/2024/03/29/o...

The problem with even trying to do as much as this chart is that it reveals that there are problems and solutions and facts and experts needed to make sense of the hundreds of details needed to even do rudimentary diplomacy or strategy, and that the US just isn't doing any of that anymore

The fierce, energetic Bea Lumpkin on her way from the South Side to the No Kings march last October! Bea Lumpkin (1918-2026) was a towering figure: labor organizer, educator, political activist, community leader, inspiration. If we feel tired, we'll remember Bea Lumpkin, active until age 107. ♥️RIP✊

Musk has created a different kind of scaffolding to obscure the truth. Important ⬇️ Only 4% of Spacex stock went on sale yesterday. Of that most to prearranged institutions. It’s a show to lure investors

It’s still not too late to submit your proposal for the Midwest Political Science Association Annual Conference, folks

“We sat in the Korova Milkbar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark chill winter bastard though dry. The Korova Milkbar was a milk-plus mesto, and you may, O my brothers, have forgotten what these mestos were like, things changing so skorry these days”

That's a pogrom. She's describing a pogrom

The LDS leadership is *very* historically aware and knows that being represented in the public image by Harry Reid and Mitt Romney is much more sustainable than by Lee.

"United Church of Christ" and "Church of Christ" famously really just the same thing

Update: SoFi workers have voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, "meaning workers could walk off the job at any moment if their demands are not met." Negotiations continue Monday — but the first World Cup game at SoFi is one week from today
