I got a house in the Hamptons. And two horses named Snoopy and Prickly Pete.

GO DAWGS

still loling about this, also I love this meme

My colleagues out here making me want to watch movies and not work.

There was a disturbance in the kitchen.

“Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.” “Watery tart” also often comes to mind.

I always have one in my backpack. Just in case I find myself in the Netherlands.

I’ve been working on edits, particularly about the status of Jews in early modern England and after the Glorious Revolution. It’s such a rich history and with interesting scholarship. It deserves more of a spotlight.

“Army of Shadows” is the perfect WWII movie. 10/10, no notes.

Who put Eddie Izzard on this plate?

Well, now I’m watching A Bridge Too Far. Hail Mary, Full of Grace.

Honestly, I don’t know what kind of group today would come close to it. I mean, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Edward Fox, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier, Ryan O'Neal, Robert Redford…

I think I enjoy “A Bridge Too Far” way more than I should. It’s three bloody hours, and I’ll be sat for every second, every time I see it on.

Haggis sold in America isn’t really haggis. Discuss.

In honesty, there are far more of us doing the right things and educating the public honestly than the few con law professors who do things that do not cover the academy in glory. The law is complicated and nuanced. That’s necessary to examine and explain, even while maintaining moral clarity.

Do academics dodge questions on national television about their work— and by that I mean do not answer them at all— if they’re acting in good faith? Asking for a friend.

My Emory teaching evaluations just came out, and they're so sweet. Half of them appear to be concocting a scheme to have the University kidnap me; the other half appear to think I have some magical 8:30 am powers. And then, of course, there are the mentions about Ye Olde England. 🥹🫶

Editing, but also, GO HEELS!

always a tweet

Going to pick up The Odyssey and have a few Miller Lites contemplating the great classic.

Thomas Chatterton Williams weighed in on the Odyssey?? Really big moment for classicists who are chronically online and absolute sickos

Funny story. When I was in high school, we used to crash P-Rade every May. I had the most delightful tiger outfit.

The two worst public writers have many thoughts.

why do i not listen to @evanbernick.bsky.social more?

lol

WHEW, "wild" doesn't cut it. "Nuts."

CSPAN callers are wild.

Tidying up my birthright citizenship, English history Part I, sending to a few more folks. Then, I’ll share widely to y’all. Tl;dr: some law professors have been spreading ignorance and mistruths.

Carson!

If you’re going to produce drivel with language that feels like the reader must whack through jungle to understand your worthless, yet condescending, point, maybe don’t confuse “anecdote” and “antidote.”

Barry Lyndon, 5/5 stars for me.

Oh no, Lord Bullingdon.

This is perfection.

THE SAME SHEEP KUBRICK USED THE SAME SHEEP

OH NO BRYAN WHYYYY

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

I would’ve let Ryan O’Neal duel for me.

Upon @dhlovelife.bsky.social’s and @evanbernick.bsky.social’s recommendations, I’m watching “Barry Lyndon” for the first time.

lol yes

I just learned haggis is illegal in the United States.

lol nothing says free market like centralized state planning

There’s no standing here either. Unless their claims were denied, I don’t see any 1A claim that the fund is facially invalid.

Y’ALL.

I like the term “bank holiday” and wish we had adopted the phrase.

Seems like we have standing for another slush fund test case.

I think about this a lot.

I have some bad news for Matt about Betty Boop and race-swapping...

Georgia on my mind.
