Shameless plug for what has likely become my strangest hobby:

Making niche composite posters.

@legalstyleblog I believe it was this version that was criticized for looking they were drunk, and trying to help each other keep standing

Oh yeah… my next article is going to be a real project…

@TomEDewey1948 Vinson is from my home town, and was best friends with my 3x great uncle. This is him picking up Vinson from the airport the morning after his appointment as CJ was announced.

Chattanooga's new courthouse. The style is called "Greco-Deco". We're taking this worldwide. We're taking this to Mars. This is the answer.

Current-day historiography doesn't have the tools to interpret stuff like this.

Parks and Rex! 🏕️ The King has spent time at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and Appalachian Highlands.

⛰️ The Blue Ridge Mountains are among the oldest in the worldand the Appalachian Highlands were, remarkably, once connected to the Scottish Highlands as part of a single mountain chain.

Conservation efforts at Shenandoah include those aimed at preserving the iconic bald eagle, which was at risk of extinction in the mid-1900s. 🦅

[Attorney General Russell Coleman @kyoag]

As a proud graduate of the @ukcollegeoflaw, I recognize the importance of its future. Judge Greg Van Tatenhove is an extraordinary leader who will raise the bar at UK.

I look forward to working with Judge Van Tatenhove as Dean of the UK College of Law.

@reposborne issued the following statement regarding recent social media posts by the governor regarding personnel decisions made by the University of Kentucky:

While I am leaving the @ukcollegeoflaw faculty on July 1 to join the faculty of Tulane Law, I am delighted to see that it has hired Judge Van Tatenhove as its new dean. In my opinion, he is well-qualified for the position. @courierjournal https://t.co/6iW7CnR7CD

‘Bit late, but the Madison County GOP’s Lincoln Day Brunch last Saturday was a great success.

Very grateful to have welcomed @RepAndyBarr that morning, and to have chatted with him about a few shared nightmares from our time spent learning property law at @ukcollegeoflaw.

[William R. Lampert II @LampertWill]

Frankly, I don’t care whether or not my dean has an academic background or produced x amount of scholarship. I care if they are able to manage large personalities and enforce the rules.

I couldn’t think of better fit for that job description than a federal judge.

A statement from Gov. Beshear.

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

FWIW, I think Greg Van Tatenhove will be a good choice to run the law school.

But my feelings about the Mitch deal are not the same

[Sec. Michael Adams (R-KY) @Adams4SecState]

Vandy/UVA grad's hatchet job on a respected judge who happens to be a Republican. Of course the Governor thinks left-leaning faculty should make all the decisions. I am losing confidence and growing increasingly concerned with the management and decision-making of Andy Beshear.
