I’m not sure how I’m expected to go on about my day after reading this as if it hasn’t hijacked 80% of my higher brain functions.

Honest question for the legal academic and academy-adjacent folks I know: how do you/would you teach stare decisis in 1L ConLaw these days? How would you explain the divide between principle and practice to someone less than a week into law school?

I said I was going to speak out. I prefer a twitter feed of mean cats & sweet dogs but we need to change what it means to be ‘police’ in America. So I spoke out. Here is something personal I wrote. I appreciate the @washingtonpost giving me this chance washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…

Okay, universe. One more chance. This isn’t much, but it’s something. And it’s very much what I, personally, need right now: deadline.com/2020/04/levera…

I don’t talk about my day job much, and it’s far afield from my typical areas of focus, but I’m pretty proud of our plan to subsidize the cost of insulin, epipens, and asthma inhalers for anyone who needs it. sccgov.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detai…

I was asked a few days ago how I stay optimistic when I am spending my days thinking about infrastructure (and thus climate change, resilience, social justice , etc.).

Vodka from Chernobyl: cbsnews.com/news/atomik-vo… Theoretically there might be something more up @funranium’s alley, but I can’t think of it off the top of my head.

Once upon a time, the story goes, organized crime laundered money through the sale of vintage comics on eBay. Plus ça change... Paraphrasing the great @jonrog1, all money laundering requires is an item without fixed objective value. Like, say, a Silicon Valley startup...

Carbon impact of liquid natural gas-powered air conditioning aside, is this not a freshman thermodynamics problem? washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…

Consumer Reports calls the Tesla Smart Summon feature “glitchy.” This is a fascinating euphemism for “criminally negligent.” consumerreports.org/automotive-tec…
