I really enjoy teaching my summer legal writing class . . . until I've procrastinated grading to the point that grading my summer class makes me panic about prepping my fall class.

People keep saying.

MATEWAN is film that all of you should watch. It's a masterpiece that's more relevant now than it was in 1987.

@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social had a very important role in exposing Max Miller’s behavior in Mother Jones and you should go read: www.motherjones.com/politics/202....

Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max Miller

Police reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.

Max Miller said on X Live that "Journalism is supposed to ask difficult questions... and tell the whole story." Miller *repeatedly* declined to answer detailed questions from Mother Jones before we published our story.

Thanks @jerryedwards.bsky.social. This answered a question I had but hadn’t asked. Curious what others think. I submitted a little less than a week ago and haven’t had any responses. I also wonder if the answer differs based on time of academic year.

If I haven't heard anything in 10ish days or have only received rejections, I'll likely submit to more journals.

All #Reds except one.

"For Love of the Game" is an underrated baseball movie. I said what I said.

Crap. I forgot to take my garbage cans to the curb. They’re each about half full (regular and recycle). Do I take them up or let it ride until next week?

Submitted my latest article through Scholastica. Let the rejections begin!

Joey Votto is doing a great job on his first national broadcast. #Reds

Over at his personal blog, Emory Law Professor @matthewsag.bsky.social offers some very interesting thoughts on structuring law school exams in an era of AI and common extra-time accommodations. matthewsag.com/ai-accommoda...

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

Love the cap the Reds are sporting tonight. Might need to get one of those.

Had a great time at the Legal Writing Institute conference this week. Got to catch up with some of the #appellatetwitter peeps and adjacents. Miss the old appellate and legal writing pocket community. @peterorlowicz.bsky.social @msrosenberg.bsky.social @djsziff.bsky.social @kendylhanks.bsky.social

Position player pitching for Bats in the 7th. #Reds

In case you were wondering, Connor Phillips and Zach Maxwell aren’t any better at getting outs at Triple A than they are in The Show. #Reds

Pat Kelly decided 2 1/3 innings were enough work in Game One.

Louisville Bats v St Paul Saints. Gonna be a long night for the Bats.

Kicked the dust off my blog and wrote up some thoughts on the Virginia Law Review's AI disclosure requirement and what reactions to the policy signal about the presumption of good faith and norms of respect in legal scholarship: smithblawg.blogspot.com/2026/07/ai-d...

Does this mean buy the first, get the second free, or buy the first get one free and buy another get another free?

When in Rome. (Or Minneapolis.)

@kendylhanks.bsky.social @peterorlowicz.bsky.social is doing a great job introducing your friend to folks at the LWI conference! #appellatesky
