Plenty of criticism on the right of the #SCOTUS leaker and the Times’s reporting, but has anyone actually responded to the argument that Roberts’s assessment of “irreparable harm” and his refusal to balance the equities is completely inconsistent with his subsequent behavior in all the Trump cases?
Bye Tim Apple. Wish you hadn’t bribed our authoritarian president
Instagram screencap. Actor Francois Arnaud stands in front of a sparkling background in a stunning black ensemble. He looks intense. He is paying attention to you, the viewer. Yes, you. The post also indicates that the Strokes track “Going Shopping” is playing.
François Arnaud also likes the new track from the Strokes. We’re basically best friends now.
Hindsight is 20-20, but this story, because it emphasizes one moment in 2016, implies we're in our current situation because the Obama admin was a bit flippant on TV about one of the court's EPA decisions. There were many off-ramps for the court's wizards on the way to our authoritarian present.

This preposterous statement really says it all: “LA28 said the 24% ticket fee on Olympics tickets aligns ‘with standard industry practices for ticketing live events’ and covers the costs of securely processing and delivering tickets.”
We live in a failed state. Impeach him now.
How did spring break make me more fatigued? I didn’t even party. The highlight was shopping…
I’m sorry, but the April Fool’s posts about getting rid of academic departments were just not funny. And I say this as someone who laughs a lot, often in despair.
Sorry, legal scholars, but when I hear the words “viewpoint discrimination,” the only thing I can think is, “But why always Dorothea?”
Two guys with sunglasses stand behind a No Kings poster. There are other protesters and a traffic light behind them.

This was the week where the shared governance work pretty much consumed any scholarship I was trying to do.
For a second I thought this was a reference to a UVa a cappella group!
Please follow up and tell us how it went.
That tag should have been #highered. The photo, sadly, is not high res.

Ugh! I’m sorry this is happening, Jill. I’m glad the faculty, staff, and students are speaking out.
Ha! I bought that one but never read it. I do really love Foucault’s Pendulum!
It’s a great one! Umberto Eco knew how to write a novel!
