The fifteenth edition of our labor law casebook is out! We welcome new author Courtlyn Roser-Jones from OSU, who helped streamline the text for use in any 2-4-credit labor law course. Over 60 hypothetical problems with answers included in the extensive teacher’s manual. cap-press.com/books/isbn/9...

In celebration, I guess, these kitty cats walked up our Colorado driveway at 6:15 this morning:

The smarter sycophants already have jobs as columnists for the New York Times and Washington Post.

That’s just maddening. @matthewtbodie.bsky.social and I wrote a book critiquing the law-and-econ arguments for the core features of shareholder primacy, and did so taking the standard precepts of economics and social choice theory as given.

Nice use of quotation marks around “efficiency,” since claims of greater efficiency always depend on what you’re maximizing . . .

I just saw this cybertruck in Dallas (pic from the web) and it’s taken the top spot in my list of most Texas thing ever.

Current mood, a week out from the election: not good. Desolation Row on repeat.

NLRB rules that Starbucks illegally closed stores in Ithaca, NY. Starbucks ordered to reopen the stores with the unionized staff and give them 16 months backpay. Straightforward application of the Darlington Manufacturing partial closing test. Good to see the NLRB flexing its remedial muscles.

Sandy and Milo at their last eclipse somewhere in NW Kansas near the Nebraska border in 2017.

Viewing the eclipse in Dallas—about 80% of the sun covered. Our plans to drive 5 hours to see the full annular eclipse (with youngest son Milo and Sandy the dog) scratched by a dog medical emergency. Sandy’s now doing fine. Hope to see some of you in Dallas April 8 for the next total eclipse.

@joannagrossman.bsky.social picked this up while out shopping and said it was a belated 27th anniversary gift. We had a good run.

It’s not a retreat. It’s just a four-hour faculty meeting.

I think people forget that many of the tens of thousands of graduate assistants who have organized or gone on strike in the last year confront real workplace safety issues on a day-to-day basis.

Having a bunch of work to do is really getting in the way of watching 5-6 hours of the Tour de France every day.

Every time I see the icon on my phone or think about this site, I know I should be thinking “Blue Sky”. Lovely. But in my head, it always comes out “Blueski”, which rhymes with “Brewski”. And don’t get me started on “skeets” when “bleats” was there for the taking.
