So apparently there is some sort of speech taking place. Both speaker and audience will probably do and say stupid things. So I'm going to order a pizza and watch a few more episodes of The Crown.

New blog post: Courts are not omniscient and/or sacrosanct. Not even Delaware courts. The law governing conflicted controller transactions needs a legislative fix.

Since Donald Trump took office, my ETF portfolio is down 3.4%.

The Federal Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism is coming to UCLA. That should be interesting. uclafacultyassociation.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-...

UCLA has decided that what we need is more woke real estate developers. (As in both number and wokeness.) I find it hard to believe that there will be much of a market for it. Or its graduates. uclafacultyassociation.blogspot.com/2025/03/new-...

Recommended reading: Andrew Verstein, The Corporate Census. This is a very important new article from my friend and UCLAW colleague. buff.ly/h3QhwU1

New blog post: DExit is a trickle not a flood and is unlikely to become a cascade "If DExit becomes a real phenomenon rather than clickbait, it will still take decades for Delaware to be overtaken."

The Los Angeles earthquake a couple of minutes ago was 3.9 magnitude and located over in the valley to our northeast. No damage here. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/... #LAquake #LAEarthquake

Just felt a pretty long rolling earthquake in Hollywood. Perhaps even the ground couldn’t stomach those idiot Oscars.

Between the crazy progressive socialists that run the Democratic Party and the crazy authoritarian thugs running the Republicans, it’s easy to feel politically homeless these days. Thankfully, I found American Solidarity. www.solidarity-party.org

This is doubtless the worst betrayal of a European state since Daladier and Chamberlain browbeat Beneš into surrendering the Sudetenland. America should be ashamed. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

That one was an A+.

Must read thread.

When bird flu jumps to humans and millions start dying, remember that RFK Jr. delayed and will probably cancel funding on research for a vaccine. Unlike the fake allegations against Fauci, he'll have real blood on his hands. thehill.com/policy/healt...

New Blog Post: Another Delaware SB 21 drafting problem The bill should explicitly say somebody who owns less than 1/3 is not a controlling shareholder and owes no fiduciary duties to the entity or the other shareholders .

There's a new lawsuit that could expose how the University of California handles admissions filed by "a Palo Alto teen who garnered national attention for getting rejected by 16 colleges and hired by Google as a software engineer." uclafacultyassociation.blogspot.com/2025/02/is-t...

Jake Tapper's new book apparently blames Biden, “his family, and his senior aides" for covering up Biden's mental decline. One wonders of there will be any acknowledgement of how the mass media collaborated in it. www.cnn.com/2025/02/26/m...

To summarize in my own words: The basic problem with the Democratic party is that it strives to be the party of faculty lounges. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

RFK Jr says a measles death isn't "unusual." So imagine the world he and his anti-vaccer crowd are bringing us. www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr... youtu.be/zEmfsmasjVA?...

New blog post: A Question About Delaware SB 21 and Fairness No agenda. Genuinely trying to figure out why the statute includes a definition of fairness.

Great column by Matthew J Franck on the purpose of the university being "to produce liberally educated human beings and to produce prudent citizens." www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2025/02/97167

I don't know what drugs are being taken by the 1 in 3 people who approve of Trump's handing of inflation, but they must be pretty potent. As for me, I'm shiftinf money into inflation-protected securities as fast as I can.

It's infuriating to see the US refusing to acknowledge who started the war.

Having been subjected to it, I refuse to use the Reductio ad Hitlerum. But I will say Trump's behavior reminds me of something Kaiser Wilhelm II might have done. Or the way the Brits swiped the Boer's gold (which the Boers had swiped from the indigenous people). www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/w...

I wouldn't call what Trump is doing "negotiating." I don't get reflexively outraged by Trump. But this is outrageous. Why not just demand that Ukraine surrender their coastline to us so Trump can build resorts?

1/ A new paper contends that "shareholder democracy is a lie." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... This is true. "While notions of shareholder democracy permit powerful rhetoric, corporations are not New England town meetings." Stephen M. Bainbridge, Unocal at 20, 31 Del. J. Corp. L. 769, 812 (2006)

Good advice. To which I would add, when somebody's genuinely trying to clean up, don't keep dumping sh*t on them.
