STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I’m claiming this win.

You’d think, given both their roles in several conspiracies on both sides of the aisle, they’d get it right 😂

Does Janet Reno mean nothing to you, WaPo?!

Student: can they search the trunk?

Me: Not without a warrant or probable cause. Please see JayZ’s hit song 99 Problems for helpful rules. My glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back, and I know my rights, so you’re going to need a warrant for that.

🤦🏻‍♀️

I wish I could (!!!) this in reaction!

It's a little difficult to overstate how important having information like this is, particularly in our weird (and lovely) subfield...thank you for your incredible work here, @abbymatthews.bsky.social, @alyxmark.bsky.social, and Monica! (and it's open access!)

Are you telling me that more women in positions of power leads to more women in positions of support?

YES. YES WE ARE.

I had to do a twenty minute PRE class walk through of the orders issued this week and what they did and do not do...give us something to work with here, Professor Justice Barrett, we're getting smoked out there! 🫠

Time for the #JuniorsWhoJudicial to shine!

My article, "Judicial Ambition and the Crafting of Law: How Promotion Potential Shapes Appellate Opinions," is now published in Political Research Quarterly.

Supreme Connections: Search Supreme Court Disclosures — ProPublica Search Supreme Court financial disclosures for organizations and people that have paid justices, reimbursed them for travel, given them gifts and more.

Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people.

Using our database, you can search for organizations and people that have paid the justices, reimbursed them for travel, given them gifts and more.

It is that time of year where the handout I made about how to read a social science article comes in useful for faculty and students. In case it is helpful for you: mjnelson.org/Teaching/How....

Really pleased to announce that my paper "The Path of Law: Legal Uncertainty and Cases of First Impression in the U.S. Courts of Appeals" has been accepted at the APSR. The paper can be found here: anthonytaboni.com/wp-content/u...

100% the best art you can ask for!

Can embarrassment of one's party dampen partisanship and polarization? One would think.

In a forthcoming paper at @poqjournal.bsky.social, Taylor Carlson, @stevenwwebster.bsky.social, and I examine what we call "partisan embarrassment," including looking at the ramifications of these feelings...

Thrilled that this book, with Driscoll and Krehbiel, is out this week. Its topic that become surprisingly relevant: under what conditions does the public punish presidents who ignore court decisions?

We are hiring! UGA Political Science is looking for an Assistant Professor in American Politics (any subfield).
