But nothing else that has demanded our immediate attention, I would say.

Are people still mad about the title, Interim Docket?

I don't know.

I haven't, probably, but no one has raised it with me.

You know, I've been a little bit more active on social media recently.

I had kind of kept it blocked most of the time for some months and decided to, you know, maybe jump back into the fray a little bit.

Got into it with various people and then did a thread a day or two ago, kind of responding to what I perceived to be as kind of snarky subtweeting of me and people like me.

What properties do you have that cause people to get mad at you?

Apparently the criticism was I am a law professor who is, you know, kind of

not doing enough to criticize hackishness on the right, but I'm interested in sort of policing discourse on the left.

Is that true?

Which is something I do sometimes because it's something that frustrates me.

In the sense that my view is it makes it harder for folks on the left to point out and criticize hackishness on the right if our side is making kind of unpersuasive, unprincipled, bad arguments themselves.

You know, but not everyone, you know, I think people tend to take a more of a us versus them mentality.

So I wrote kind of a, you know, a defense slash apology for, you know, the way I choose to engage with the world and sort of some of it is about how, you know, why.

I do the podcast the way that I do.

I mean, you could choose to engage with the court in a much more kind of partisan fashion and just sort of say, you know, it's all falling apart and it's all hackery on the right.

And my view is just we should do what we can to kind of hold some center together, some space where we try to reach agreement about

legal arguments in their meeting.

Because if we lose that completely, I think that's just the end of any possibility of any kind of rule of law.
