I know a lot of professors who hate social media because they feel it demands "building a brand." Lots of reasons to hate social media, of course. But my own view, maybe quirky, is that "building a brand" is oft part of spreading ideas. Social media or no, comes w/ the territory.
Which reminds me, the 2018 edition of my top-selling** Computer Crime Law casebook is shipping at Amazon for the low low price of $229!!! And look at those Amazon reviews!!! (** top-selling among computer crime law casebooks I have written) amazon.com/Computer-Crime…
Maybe you would have given it 5 stars if you did, Fred. Or at least 4.

4th Circuit: Suspect in custody doesn't have to wait until Miranda rights are read for his assertion of the right to remain silent to have full effect (requiring officers to stop the interrogation, or in this case never to start it). ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/17423…
As I understand the court's opinion, you can assert your Miranda right as soon as you are in custody, but you don't have to wait until you are given warnings or questioned. (This is a question that students often ask about, so good to have a case to cite to them.)
Also interesting that the 4th Circuit has a five-factor test for when an officer's post-invocation conduct sufficiently honors the assertion of the right. (For those who don't know, "five factor test" mostly means "no test at all"). CA4 right to cabin that inquiry more here.

I saw the WWI documentary "They Shall Not Grow Old" today. Really enjoyed it. It tells the story of the typical British soldier on the western front in a remarkable way that really brings it to life. (Short thread.)
It's the visual restoration of the footage that draws you in. And indeed, it's remarkable. Brings the people to life. But it's really in aid of the telling of the story, not the focus.
The narrative consists of recordings of veterans of WWI, recorded in the 50s and 60s, telling the story of their wartime experience. They are heard, never seen, while the original footage is shown. There is no narrator, and no onscreen text to introduce themes or battles.

Here's an interesting example of how courts don't pay enough attention to 4th Amendment cross-enforcement issues: The 3rd Circuit's recent opinion in US v. Osorio, decided 12/20/18. Thread below . . . . www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/17313…
Relevant issue in the case: Could municipal officers in Pennsylvania make an arrest on a federal probation warrant? Court says yes, b/c "municipal officers are authorized to execute federal arrest warrants," citing a CA2 and a CA5 case.
But if you look at the two cases, they're precedents saying that *state law* governed whether state officers could execute federal warrants -- based on a reading of US v DiRe and US v. Marsh. In the two states at issue , NY and Florida, state law okay'ed executing fed warrants.

Cue all the comments about how it's just going to make fat people lazy, and its applications for people with Disabilities, Chronic health issues etc will be totally lost on most. This could be amazing for so many!
Since this is behind a paywall, I'm going to copy+ paste it below!
An anti-obesity pill that allows you to eat as much as you want without gaining weight is a step closer to reality after a breakthrough by an international research team led by scientists at Adelaide’s Flinders University.

Brexit 1/10 - Okay, to 17m people who voted Leave: this was not your fault. May's deal leaves Britain taking the EU's rules on trade without any say in what the rules are. This is not the "best possible deal". So - what to do?
2/10 - How did we get here? Two years of dishonesty and incompetence. May knew the deal would be terrible so delayed, hoping to frog-march us into accepting it. As a result, you're now going to see a political crisis of 1970s proportions...
3/10 - You have to accept you were lied to. By liars like Johnson and Davis, who said the EU would split, and we could do a quick trade deal. They sat in the cabinet doing f*** all, then walked away...

provide equitable treatment to all political parties and candidates.- @eueomzimbabwe

Alright, it’s time for another thread that will reall tick off TRAs: let’s talk about trans kids, puberty blockers, and why I absolutely do not support medical transition for children.

Before I get into this, I do understand that kids have phases of identity. That’s cool.
And to some extent I think I can see letting your little boy wear a dress to school if it’s safe.

But I do not, under any circumstances, support medicalizing trans kids. Not even with parental support, until they’re 18.
I say eighteen because that’s when they legally become adults. I do not believe it should be easy to access until the age of 25. If you aren’t mature enough to be trusted with a rental car, it’s probably a good idea to have some help, as grating on the uni grad ego as that is.

Cardi did that. #SNL
A reminder: @iamcardib wrapped that first album hustle and @SerenaWilliams won the Australian Open while pregnant.

Weaker sex? Nah. #SNL
(To note:

1. not all women can bear children; this is just an example of our strength;

2. black women especially are often reduced to our ability to be strong and/or bear children.

Pointing out the facts, though, that women are everything 🙌🏾)

BREAKING HC NEWS: CVS announced it is buying Aetna. If interest, I will offer some takes later.
I have gotten a lot of questions.

This thread will take me a while. I promised to take my teenage son somewhere tonight-- since I still travel to DC a lot-- so I will post tomorrow in order to get it right.

Apologies.
There are lots of reasons not to read this thread.

To begin with it's long.
Also I'm using 280 and I hate 280.
Also if you're very sophisticated, you may find it too simplistic.

But there are also other, more important reasons not to read this.3/
