I’m going to try to make it this year! Hope to say hi.

Love the nerditry.

The first Thursday Murder Club mystery. Just delightful.

Missed meeting you in person, @katmacfarlane.bsky.social!

@katejackson.bsky.social, you may have stumbled on a million dollar idea.

I just watched “The Hot Rock,” a proto-Sonderbergh Ocean’s 11 heist flick, which was wonderful. What a loss.

@erikloomis.bsky.social, I love these threads. Thank you for doing them!

That was gripping!

It has a “if you want to go there, I guess we’ll go there” vibe.

Ok, that’s awesome. Where do you find the time???

All I know is I read this too quickly and wondered what your “leg day” video could be?

There’s a story about Chief Justice Burger criticizing lawyers who appeared before the Court with button down collars because they were too casual!

Those books are so good. I love Labor Law Stories!

I knew this was a must read from your presentation on the article at the ABA spring conference! Congrats!

I love this article so much.

Sent immediately to the family group chat.

The most insulting phrase in the English language. I prefer “close enough for jazz.”

@bridgetdooling.bsky.social, that made me giggle out loud on an airplane, so your work here is done.

A 1940 newspaper clip from the Springfield Leader and Press, declaring: Superman Poisoning American Children, Irate Nazis cClaim."

"Superman Arouses Teutonic Anger" reads the headline in the Amarillo Daily News"

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?

That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

My how times change ...

So excited to read this 1968 biography of Senator Robert Wagner, the legislative father of the New Deal. It arrived on my doorstep yesterday thanks to unionized federal postal workers, whose representation wouldn’t have been possible without Senator Wagner’s National Labor Relations Act…

In 1958, NLRB Chair Boyd Leedom penned an article opposing judicializing administrative process by creating an Article III administrative court. Interesting stuff, given today’s debates.

Far cooler, though, is that the NLRB library’s copy of the article is autographed!

Leedom v. Kyne nerds unite!

Sometimes I love our people.

I don’t know who put these in the break room, but my dentist and I thank you.

Congratulations!

According to Green, it was the US Army's presence in WV that helped defuse the strikers, because they were WWI vets who felt a patriotic duty to the Armed Forces.

I believe the bombs were dropped from private planes, not military planes. Check out James Green's "The Devil is Here in These Hills."

(Congress repealed this provision of the NLRA in 1959—perhaps because it was constitutionally questionable or perhaps because it had already done its job of rooting out communists from American labor.)

This is how union officials filed an anti-communist affidavit with the NLRB in 1954, in case you were wondering. If they didn’t, their union lost its right to file for NLRB election petitions or unfair labor practice charges.
