Matt Samberg

Lawyer, policy/politics nerd, and part-time philosopher. This pretty much sums me up:

@MikeSacksEsq I’m starting to think that citing the traditional powers of the British crown might not have been the only problem with their brief.

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@MikeSacksEsq Let me make sure I understand. The NLRB’s existence threatens states’ sovereign prerogative to allow businesses to take advantage of workers. And the way to mitigate that threat is…creating a more powerful federal executive whose enforcement decisions will depend on politics?

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@MikeSacksEsq Question: why was Tennessee filing an amicus brief in this case? What on earth was their asserted interest?

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@mikeduncan Or they could assume something far more reasonable like HOLY CRAP MIKE DUNCAN HAS A FRIGGIN TIME MACHINE

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@just_security @bridgewriter Tough to tell people he can’t do something when he goes ahead and does it and doesn’t suffer any legal consequences.

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@just_security @bridgewriter He may not…but he did. My understanding is that the people working there have already been fired.

@AmesCG I guess there’s ~25 years to play with where we don’t know Thrawn’s relationship to Hux or the others leading the rise of the First Order, but we kinda already know how it all turns out.

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@AmesCG The problem there is that the story is kind of boxed in. We know the Shadow Council succeeds in establishing the First Order, and that Project Necromancer succeeds in creating Snoke to lead it.

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@AmesCG I think one of the (many!) reasons why Andor stood out so much is that it was a totally new type of story, just set against the backdrop of an existing universe, so we could jump into it in media res without the need for extra world building.

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@AmesCG I dunno. I was never into the games, so I don't know anything about KotOR, but I'm worried that stories about the Jedi are running out of material, since there's only so much you can do with space wizards.

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@crampell That headline is a journey. Every word of it.

Happy Halloween!

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@AmesCG Long live the Empire!

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@AmesCG Getting ready for some family costume fun next week!

@mjsamberg Omg, it’s Droid Tales. Retells the movies as lego. It’s amazing. Watch it!

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@Patrick_Wyman Please tell me you use the phrase "Swabian salute" in there somewhere!

[Matt Samberg @mattsamberg]

@AmesCG 💯 If I see an ad for “baby shoes, never used,” my assumption is that they were a gift from a relative who didn’t realize that babies don’t need shoes.
