My mother was a virologist who worked on vaccines for two members of the virus family that includes the one causing shingles. A few months before she died she told me to go get the shingles vaccine. Do it.

Six Google searches within 4 minutes, slightly different words but same query: Who’s the real killer in Anthony Horowitz’s The Twist of a Knife? WHAT THE HECK! Literally none of these is correct

This. Is. Not. Normal. This. Is. F#ck*d Up.

A vicious exam, with vicious procedures with a vicious origin story behind its very existence. The entire enterprise should be stopped. Here’s this July’s first horror story. abovethelaw.com/2025/07/bar-...

Love the way he signs his name

The conference was wonderful (as always!). Thanks to Aysha Aymes for all the program planning. And thanks to @bethwilensky.bsky.social @mchannon.bsky.social and Ted Becker and the whole Michigan team for everything. Truly my favorite conference.

As a quick distraction: Jersey sour cherries are in. This year: we’ve added cherry-almond jam to the lineup.

Amazing. Amazing that there’s an article spilling tea about the Bluebook inside drama, and that it’s placed so well.

This one really terrifies and enrages me

Very interesting database

Oh FFS

Sometimes the best antidote is going outside and hacking at—errr—trimming the nonstop rose bushes. 🌹🥀

New Bluebook v.22 is out. Further updates as events warrant. For now: cc: @scotusplaces.bsky.social #LegalWriting #CleanedUp

What's going on at my alma mater? www.chronicle.com/article/at-c...

BREAKING: Judge Burroughs has granted Harvard's restraining order, barring the administration from terminating its foreign student population. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’m so proud of my clinic students for using their visual #legalwriting skills to help our @law.rutgers.edu pro bono Name Change Project. The Project has been led by two other former students. law.rutgers.edu/news/name-ch...

🤣🤣🤣🥳🤣🤣🤣

"You are not refugees. You are just a case study of white flight dressed up as martyrdom. You are not escaping violence, you're escaping equality."

Ann Coulter, trying to regain relevance.

There's literally no difference between a public national monument approved by Congress and a $400 million jet the president keeps

The joys of gardening!

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Speaking my Jersey language.

Thank you @govmurphy.bsky.social It’s so important that we see real leadership like yours during this harrowing time

GOOD.

West Point has decided that the inclusion of any Black author on its curriculum should be eliminated. ““Department leaders forced professors to remove from their courses works by James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker and other women and men of color.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o....

Happy to see some politicians are out there fighting.

🎉🎉🎉

Must be a painful weekend to be a litigator at Paul Weiss or the other firms that caved. "When lawyers are apprehensive about retribution for simply filing a brief adverse to the government, there is no other choice but to do so."

Totalitarians try to stop science. Exhibit A:

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr. NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

It’s a beautiful Beltane eve. The lilacs smell divine. Merry meet!

Important narrative advice.

I wish I could be this eloquent with my students. @msrosenberg.bsky.social

No more milk quality testing? WTAF?

Um wut?

#LegalStorytelling in the news

Willful contempt of court.

Another timeline cleanse. The first bloom of my front-yard cherry tree.

Timeline cleanse. It’s lilac time! @law.rutgers.edu

Trump freezes about 1/3 of the $9 billion Harvard grant/contract funds under review. Says Harvard thinks civil rights laws don’t apply to it. In fact, Harvard (belatedly) has taken action on its own to address valid Title 6 concerns. Handled well. www.thecrimson.com/thread/2025/...

Also proud to be part of this letter to our law students. Especially today, we must be committed to the rule of law.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Truth

Absolutely repulsive: cutting funds to study the fluctuating availability of water due to climate change. “Using federal funds to perpetuate these narratives does not align with the priorities of this Administration.”
