I'm not a coder. Did some cobol(?) in college & HTML before it had a number. Created a "call for papers" feed for law stuff in skyfeed, but it didn't work. Moved it to @graze.social, got instant help on their discord channel, and now it's working. Reposting "live" calls so they're in the feed.

I used @skyfeed.app to create a feed for law related calls for papers, etc.. Can anyone help me learn how to make it not just show the last seven days of posts? I tried various settings in the app but they broke the feed in different & unhelpful ways... #blueskyfeeds #feeds #skyfeed

Folks, I'm a bit baffled here about the best way to make threads. Tried the "write the whole thing, break it up, post as replies," but that's a PITA. I tried bluethread.pythonanywhere.com but the link I included only showed up as a text link and the breaks were, at times, unfortunate. Halp! kthxbai

We had a brave visitor today. Even convinced himself to come back for the nut he left behind...

Many, Many (too many to list) law-related organizations in Morris Co. NJ felt it necessary to release a statement telling people how to *checks notes* "report drones activity." Why? Apparently people have been flying drones. Which is legal. I need context www.morriscountynj.gov/Morris-Count...

NASA is developing "computer vision technology for autonomous aviation" to help develop fully autonomous (unpiloted) flight. The FAA has shown little tolerance for this kind of thing so far, but like self-driving cars, it seems somewhat inevitable... www.techbriefs.com/component/co...

If you're interested in being a law professor, you might enjoy my podcast series from 2020, The Legal Academy. It features interviews over 16 episodes, with lots of different perspectives on being a lawprof. Link: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Youtube: www.youtube.com/@thelegalaca...

It has been the greatest honor of my career to write a Foreword for the Harv Law Rev. I am grateful to be able to tell this story and tell it from the heart in such a prominent forum.

Quote: "Major Philippe noted that targeting decisions are traditionally made by the Commander and Legal Advisor (LEGAD), but now often include input from a Political Advisor (POLAD) and Gender Advisor (GENAD)." tinyurl.com/yc3s5zz9 Can anyone shed light on what the GENAD is and does?
