@EWess92 This isn't meant as a gotcha! Rather, given the immediate historical context, I am _sure_ that this issue was raised and perhaps conclusively addressed already, either in the past or today.
@EWess92 But then, doesn't that, at a certain level of abstraction, describe the immediate and near-immediate descendants of those kidnapped and brought here in the slave trade? But surely those folks aren't denied birthright citizenship?
@aliciaandrz But I love sentences starting with coordinating conjunctions, perhaps especially in formal, precise writing! And, at least if we trust it, ChatGPT approves!

Harvard folks! The lab's lead scientist, Damon Crockett, is giving a talk at 11a today at the Center for Astrophysics. He'll demonstrate how to use Paperbase to explore our reference collection of photographic paper. The talk is open to the Harvard community. Details in link ⬇️
@messina_jp Many of the responses tacitly suggest that rising GPAs is a modern phenomenon. Looking at the chart, GPAs have been rising since _WWI_. Let's go, Brandon!!
On April 16th, Sophia Moreau (NYU) will deliver this year's Bloustein Lecture in Law and Ethics at the Rutgers Institute for Law & Philosophy. If you're in the area, we hope you'll join us!
@DaveKilloran I'm curious whether this means that students who 'predict' admissions chances will be overly optimistic, if they measure against prior years' LSAT 25/75s?
@BenjiLTheory The Camden Jurisprudence Group read this paper just a few weeks ago (with Dennis right here in house!). I also thought that their reconstruction of the debate was very clear and helpful!
Announcing my first book, with my style of longform narrative journalism and philosophy. It's about the clash between governing by top-down rules versus discretionary decision-making, in law, in sports, in the household. Pre-order now. @wwnorton https://t.co/kMg0zgaK2f

@TheRigLib@alex_orlov_@MushtaqBilalPhD Except he didn’t say that either. I haven’t read this thesis, but the wild misreadings of the abstract, of Marx, even of this modest defense are amazing.
Happy to share that my article, "Contracting Without Promising," will be published in the University of Toronto Law Journal (@utpjournals)! Here's a pre-print version: https://t.co/2mFaXjZKtB.
