New testimony from other White House Staff show that many, many people were downright pleading #FPOTUS to call for a stop to the violence, he did nothing for two hours. Released a video and went to bed.

I scoop my net through the soupy fog of lingual delights and raise it to examine my catch:

mellifluous
boondoggle
amandine
verisimilitude

OK, since I joined mastodon yesterday I suppose I should do an intro post.

My job is professor of law at the University of Michigan; my research and teaching interests are in labor and antitrust (with a little corporations thrown in) as well as the conceptual foundations of law and economics. I'm also generally interested in legal and economic history, as well as current economic policy. Prior to becoming an academic lawyer i was a practicing one, representing workers & labor unions mainly.

@uspolitics we need stricter controls on who can run for office, little things like not trying to end democracy, for instance.

Tesla stock tanking today, down 3%, 63% YTD. Huge drop. Remember, the max is 100%. Apparently, the shareholders do not yet believe that the new owner will actually step down. I believe he will abide by the results of his poll but only in conjunction w/ a Twitter bankruptcy.

Found my sleepy couple of great horned owls yesterday morning. I love that they almost always use the same tree. I was careful not to disturb their sleep. You can see from these photos the size difference. The female (right) is much larger than her mate.

Another interesting note is that northern great horned owls are much paler than those in the south end of their range. #owls #birds #wildlife

@juddlegum Jack betrayed every Twitter member, indecipherable "I agree" contracts notwithstanding. He sold every piece of us we put on Twitter, all the data ever collected by Twitter, to a billionaire in bed with the worst despots on the planet. And he knows it.
