Thanks to the Tulsa Law Review for publishing it. #legalhistory #magnacarta
Hanging out with the cool kids (a.k.a the Selden Society contingent) at #ASLH2023.
First night in Philly for #ASLH2023 and I already found some good cheesesteak.
Moving rapidly up in my Duolingo league thanks to being rate-limited on the birdsite. Merci Elon! #twitterdown
Justice Alito hasn’t leaked his memo to you challenge

1/ Just want to put today’s Twitter horror in plain language for people.

Senior people at Twitter have resigned in the last 48 hours, including the CISO. We now now why. They said in private Slack channels that Elon musk is so desperate to recoup his money, he’s taking crazy risks with every Twitter user’s privacy and safety.

Looking forward to the takes when the MSM sends reporters to marijuana dispensaries and brewpubs in Durango and Alamosa to find out what happened in Boebert's race. #Election2022
Justice Alito, you must feel awful that you ruined the election for the Republicans. My DMs are open.
As someone who grew up in Boebert’s district, I am not surprised that she is facing a possible loss (though it’s not over yet). Southwest Colorado is a far cry from northwest Georgia or East Texas and yet she acts like she represents one of those deep-red areas. #USElections22 #Boebert
If we can't get legislation passed to end Daylight Savings Time we're going to need a fall back position.
