I’ll write you!

Ah, joining the anxious masses, eh? May the odds ever be in your favor.

That’s a wonderfully deep cut.

Here! ‘91. I had to go buy winter boots to sub for the sneakers I could wear in Virginia year round.

What's old is new again: As in 1948, hoping Santa loads your stockings with civil rights, full and fair employment, low-cost housing, lower prices, and fair labor laws. Happy holidays to you all!

Something like this: Transcript of Oral Argument, Janus v. AFSCME, 138 S. Ct. 2448, at 47 (Feb. 26, 2018), www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

Without commenting on substance, the most surprising thing about attending argument in Trump v. Slaughter in person this morning was how short the bar line was to get in!

Doesn’t everyone find admin law as exciting as I do?

You should add Judge Pan’s dissent to your N&P trifecta.

Thanks @emilysbremer.bsky.social, @beaubaumann.bsky.social, @jedshug.bsky.social, for dropping great papers in the last couple of days about Humphrey's Executor and administrative adjudication that perfectly fill those pesky "ADD CITE HERE" footnotes in my current article draft.

Fwiw, @katejackson.bsky.social, I read the post as about embracing shared morality wherever you can find it, not an argument for theocracy. I hope to listen to you two discuss at ALPE!

From 1950 to today, we still strive for jobs we can be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to you all, and especially to the public servants who make the promise of a better life real for our country and its people every working day.

You do you.

“If I had had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” Who said it and when? Le Grand Illusion

As Twain is credited with saying, “if I had had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” I’m really hoping to keep my current article to 20k, but it’s tough!

That feeling when you're writing an article, have a great idea, then find someone who has reached the same conclusion, and you don't know whether that's good because it reinforces your point or bad because it might look like you're "borrowing" their idea...

It’s really interesting! Though, as a late career person, I’d be interested in a bonus episode on “professors of practice” and other non-traditional paths.

More dissents like this please. Short, punchy, and to the point.

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???
