Supreme Court to hear new case tied to same-sex couples The court will hear a case into whether Colorado can ban a Catholic school from a taxpayer-funded program over admission policies.

It is revolting to force parents, through taxation, to fund schools that would not admit their kids because they are LGBTQ+

Yet here we are

This is the inside of union terminal in Cincy. It ought to be used and seen by thousands.

Also let’s do light passenger rail k? Tx

I love reading my students’ research paper outlines. They are so deeply thoughtful and engaged in important questions. And creative!

Every once in a while, grading isn’t, in fact, a drag.

Passenger rail service linking Cincinnati to Ohio's other major cities gains momentum All Aboard Ohio, one of the project’s biggest advocates, says the effort is still years away but is reaching an important milestone.

Yes please!

This is Robert sprague running for AG in Ohio. Promising not to let “illegal aliens” vote.

Denying people’s humanity is bad enough. Making it a cute kiddie style joke is.. somehow even more revolting.

On the upside I finally have direct evidence of a mechanism tying the consolidation of business executive power with the consolidation of personalist presidential power for my refeudalization paper

I hate what we’re becoming. Ohio State, where I went to grad school, is getting rid of Medieval and Renaissance Studies. @aarontpratt.bsky.social @lollardfish.bsky.social @profgabriele.com

Notice the further implications here: in some ways, this is about Trump admin bugaboos like diversity and climate change, but in others, the Trump Admin and state regulators are pretty explicit about stamping out all challenges to management (see below on Indiana’s law). And if regulators have the freedom to decide (on a theory of what counts as wealth maximization) which boards can be challenged by shareholders and which cannot, that leaves corporate management awfully … dependent … on the state to maintain their positions, with all the implications that follow.

Want to avoid pesky derivative litigation? Donate to the triumphal arch fund! Won’t drop your DEI?! Here comes the proxy contest to oust you.

As Prof Lipton explains, admin officials, finding creating uses of ERISA laws, will get to decide in its own arbitrary discretion whether and when shareholders can ever challenge corporate leadership

Trying to keep track of the multiple attacks on shareholder voting feels like John Henry fighting the steam engine, tbqh This week, we have some new developments in the conservative/Trump Admin effort to control and/or undermine shareholder power. First, we have these new

Behind the scenes, it looks like the Trump admin is putting into place regulatory hooks and levers that will allow them to decide which corporate boards/CEOs get to keep their jobs

This is worse than “Wegner’s”

Tbf, some of the proposed changes I agree with (but not to make MAGA happy):

More affordable tuition
Less legacy/nepo admits, less focus on “extracurricular” resume lines that are only available to rich kids
More resources for teaching and research

Next up: hippies are terrorists, feminists are traitorous perverts, and centrist welfare state capitalists are the antichrist. All will hang.

Pretty sure justices aren’t supposed to sound this fashy

So shocked someone shot the CEO. Shocked I tell you.

It’s like an abusive relationship. You compromise just a little more, have a little more empathy, make more and more nice noises, in the vain hope they’ll see reason and let you be.

They don’t and won’t. You need to get a separate bank account and ghost the asshole.

It’s dark out! Ergo the sun was never in the sky.

A little lesson in logic

Do not explain causes with their consequences.

Do not explain causes with their consequences in the dumbest way possible.

🤣🤣🤣

I mean, I know explaining causes by their consequences is generally bad, but I had no idea functionalism could be so virulently stupid.

Last time I call law&economics the dumbest suite of theories on earth
