I'm excited to share my latest article, "The Haircut Cases Were Wrong," forthcoming with the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law, and now posted on SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Independent state supreme court jurisprudence FTW!

A friend of mine tangentially in the AI world insisted that rational people would pay for AI because the paid versions are better products and people want better products. My response: have you met people?!?!

New theory: it's just human nature that older lawyers will complain that "these days" courts don't follow precedent like they used to. Check out this article, that might as well be written today about courts and stare decisis but was written in . . . 1903 in the Michigan Law Review.

I fear in three or four years I'll be teaching the Supreme Court appeal of this case.

Didn't know him, but he was the model for what a lawyer should be.

Going for Myles Garrett's single-season record.

Sad Josh. No one will go after abortion and he's at his wits end. 😢

30 months to go.

Ha. Spain won. Fuck Trump. Hahahaha.

That hurt.

Argentina’s goalie looks like a dead ringer for Karl from your accounting department.

This game isn’t helping soccer’s reputation as boring as hell.

Trump must be loving this - kids and performers from all over the world with a message of love and togetherness. Haha. Fuck Trump.

Fuck Trump

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace

Proud of my south jersey roots!

No. Next.

It’s clear Hollywood enjoys making movies that utterly fail the Bechdel Test.

This may be the first ever “sandals and swords” movie I’ve ever seen. I’ve avoided them for half a century for a reason. Let’s see if I stay awake for this one.

This is right. The two-senators-for-every-state clause of the Constitution is a complete abomination.

I hate that we have two Dakotas. Republicans got greedy for new states in the 1880s and we're still paying for that a century and a half later. Two states that, when combined, have the same population as The Bronx. They shouldn't get four senators.

Dear universe, When I said “things could always be worse”, it wasn’t a fucking challenge.

Yes. But also, folks have been bracing since November 2024.

The new “cook mode” view in the NYT Recipe app is brilliant. Instructions and amounts in each step rather than on separate pages or sections. Life changing!

NYT nails it.

Pennsylvania's Medicaid program must cover abortions... for now. More: www.wesanews.org/health-scien...

I thought the military ended gender affirming care?

I want to get ahead of this speech tomorrow. You are going to hear a lot of cries of the sky falling. Remember: the President of the United States does not control elections. States and localities do, and even if you say "he has the military," there aren't enough in the 48 states to make a dent.

Harry Kane scored 6 goals for England in the World Cup. After he admitted he went golfing with Donald Trump he did not score again the rest of the tournament, and England are out. The Trump sports curse remains undefeated.

I am so so so tired of the endless freakout assuming that someone who is exceedingly, demonstrably vincible suddenly has magical powers.

This one hits hard. He was my window into another universe when I was in high school. I'd stay up late Sundays to watch the show and learn. And the music he introduced me to is still my soundtrack. post-punk.com/dave-kendall...

Soon enough, the February cycle will start in August and the August cycle will start in February.

I’m old enough to remember when a BJ paralyzed the country for nearly a year.

What the fuck was that?

Did Fox skimp on the audio quality budget for the All Star Game? Feedback in many innings. And the player interviews are muffled. How is it this bad for a national broadcas?

This is one of the coolest things I've seen. In Harrisburg at Pennsylvania's Judicial Center, amidst all the traditional oil paintings of judges lining the walls is this painting. /1

I knew Chief Justice Earl Warren was succeeded by Chief Justice Warren Burger, which is an interesting name quirk by itself. But I just learned today that it's even more interesting: Warren Burger's middle name was . . . wait for it . . . Earl. So Earl Warren was replaced by Warren Earl Burger.

THIS! And same point about the Supreme Court. Refusing to recognize that the Court has been an institutional barrier to justice and equality for long before the Roberts Court undermines efforts for real reform. Trump/Roberts are terrible. But the institutions they lead have been bad long before.

I do completely understand how a neutral fan wouldn't necessarily love the energy this Phillies crowd is bringing to the home run derby. And that's fine. I also don't give a shit. It's our turn to host and we're hosting. You can have your crowd of Home Run Derby Respecters back next year.

You never know when your Outlook task view shows the "Join Online" button for a Teams meeting whether it's really a Teams meeting or if it's a fake Teams meeting button Outlook has added to a calendar entry on its own. What fun!

This is potentially more dangerous than the Wurman/Lash/Barnett feedback loop with birthright citizenship. Here, a rich donor can fund a well-established center to generate a scholarly literature on the fly to support their crackpot ideas.

Go Idaho!!

Why is Bryce Harper doing Cameo for $899 a pop? In what world is his financial planning so bad that this extra pittance (for him) is valuable over and above his massive income from his salary and endorsements? I don't get it.

words words words words. Thank you for your attention to these words.
