Professor @KULawSchool, former Fellow @RadInstitute. I primarily write about criminal law, sexual violence, empirical research, equity, and basketball. He/him.
I feel like it's time to leave. I've had a great time getting to know so many of you via Twitter. I wouldn't have made it through the pandemic without this site. But Musk has made clear that he wants Twitter to be the new Gab. See you on Mastodon, some other site, or IRL.
There are also tools to move all of your posts from here to there (keeping the original post date), if you want. I'll be doing that soon and deleting my account here. I hope to see you all at Bluesky.
With the recent exodus from here, my followers on Bluesky exceed my followers here. So, for those with a few thousand followers, don't feel attached to this awful place. With a little time, you will end up with a similarly-sized, but much better, community there.
@KevinMKruse@darth@dril@jbouie Also, we have Popehat! If you do join Bluesky, even if it's just to check it out, let me know (same user name) so that I can follow you.
@HoffProf Worried that your scholarship will disqualify you? Or, are you concerned that your lust for administrative power will undermine your academic pursuits?
@msolurin IMHO, there are reasons to feel that her apology wasn't enough and she should have done more (although there are also countervailing arguments about why rape trauma makes that difficult). I just think "lied" is a dangerous word to use in this context. /end
@msolurin saying Seabold "lied" conflates the difference between intentional false reporting and cases where there was rape, but the wrong person was convicted. FWIW, here's a New Yorker article about the case: https://t.co/W9RbaT4rn6
@GChernack I didn't say it was the right decision. But, it wasn't as obvious as with a typical team in typical weather. There have been lots of drops and KU's turf is slippery. The last FG attempt (42 yds) wasn't close.
@bmaz I'm not sure about the definition of "moral turpitude," which I've usually associated with immigration law. But, I think so-called "process crimes" and crimes of dishonesty are often under-prosecuted and under-punished. But reasonable minds might disagree.
@prisonrodeo But, as part of getting my mom (and me and my kids) to have Irish citizenship, I did some research (with the help of @ms_peaceweaver , thanks!) to find her grandparents. It's far easier to do things like that in Ireland, where all birth data is centralized.
@prisonrodeo One pair of my great-grandparents was alive through a large chunk of my life. In fact, their son, my grandfather, just passed away a week ago at age 98. In contrast, I never knew my mom's father (or his parents) because he died before I was born. Lifespans be crazy.
