At the University of Bologna, I spoke on “Corporations and the Value of Identity,” introducing the Governance Triangle—regulators, investors, and markets. When regulation retreats and shareholders lose voice, markets and values govern instead.

Disney’s Kimmel reversal shows why governance is about values—not just profits. Boards ignore civic accountability at their peril. My latest commentary with Bloomberg: news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-exchan... #CorporateGovernance #TotalGovernance

Presented Contracting for Reparations at the 9th Slavery: Past, Present and Future Global Meeting in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 I proposed a private-sector model—The American Reparations Trust—that frames reparations as a contractual remedy for the economic breach of emancipation. No state action needed.

1 Gaetz = 1/64 of a Scaramucci #TrumpMath

Clearly Gaetz was having freakoffs and that report is about to be leaked.

It will never stop being utterly insane to me that Trump fans rioted, shat in the Capitol, smashed windows, battered police and terrorized people nationwide when he was fired by 80 million voters for condemning 1 million to die of COVID then 73 million rehired him and they demand we "come together."

A dispatch from TX: my GYN offered sterilization or a longer acting IUD “while I still can.” I complained about the difficulty in scheduling and she said “gyn residents aren’t coming here and the population is growing.”

These motherfuckers. Sure, they say it's optional. But schools that use it get $60 a head for using it. And it's not optional for the kids in the schools that take it.

Are we allowed to complain about the Biden administration yet, or are we still doing that thing where we blame Democrats for not centering white identity politics enough?

Affirmative action is a partial remedy to centuries of injustices. Let’s take this as an opportunity to come up with something better. Something that provides access AND outcomes. As a business professor and capitalist, I always think the solution is money via reparations.

When they (accidentally?) gave me five invites, here's who I asked and why. In case you want to follow more folks @keribla.bsky.social for ACAB/cj news @carlissc.bsky.social for smart legal & reprostuff and bring generally good at the medium @andreagrimes.bsky.social for repro justice and sass

There are few things more offensive than not playing Cuff It and Energy together and in the proper order. It’s basically one song. It’s a perfect transition.
