@hotdogsladies you will soon be John Munson!

@inquiline@union.place @mlncn @phwolfe940 @nearnorth this story is also pretty interesting: https://www.startribune.com/with-move-downtown-tiny-st-paul-radio-stations-ambitions-and-voice-have-grown/600315468/

And you can learn more about the course here:

https://www.marketplace.org/2022/08/18/how-a-dangerous-water-park-became-the-subject-of-a-law-course/

At about 130,000 words, it is by a lot the longest thing I’ve written (granted, it’s a casebook so a lot of it is stuff other people wrote). I think it’s good, and probably of interest not just to people teaching or taking the class?

It’ll be available for ordering next summer sometime.

Finished the draft of Recreation & Risk, coming out on Carolina Academic Press next year for fall adoption. It’s a casebook based on my course of the same name, addressing law related to amusement parks, haunts, water parks, etc. You can see more about it at the site I created for it!

@inquiline@union.place @mlncn @phwolfe940 @nearnorth My show airs on WFNU-LP but I don’t have much involvement otherwise, but happy to chat!

@inquiline@union.place amazing! I wonder who that is

@hotdogsladies oh, hello

@JamesLonghurst@historians.social I think that’s directionally accurate, though the articles in question are incoherent AI generated trash. But I suppose if they get cited by other trash articles the impact score can maybe still get gamed.

And: https://retractionwatch.com/2022/12/29/meet-the-publisher-making-the-science-of-bronte-faulkner-and-whitman-available-for-the-first-time/

Well, doesn’t explain the angle, but it’s interesting: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2023/02/10/leading-scientists-worldwide-are-victims-fake-articles

For anyone who thinks about such things: Why would a (almost certainly) predatory journal publish a very stupid (possibly AI-drafted) article under the name of someone who did not write it, and misidentifying that person's department (but not their university)? What is the angle?

#Introduction

Hi everyone!

I teach at Suffolk Law in Boston. My interests include Civ Pro, Trusts & Estates & PR. (I’m also covering Family Law as a new prep in Spring ‘24). I teach remotely via Zoom so I’m always interested in teaching tips.

When I’m not in law prof mode, I’m baking, gardening or traveling. 😊

I’m old enough to remember TV and print advertisements where new and improved products were compared to the old, tired, less useful “brand X,” so I’m finding all this latest dumbfuckery utterly hilarious.

@inquiline@union.place Finishing up a few weeks on the North Shore! I have seen no donkeys here.

@inquiline@union.place I haven’t popped in here lately and I am thrilled that this fascinating controversy is the first thing to come up

I would encourage you to spend $55 a year (at least) and subscribe to Dispatch MSP to get Mary Lucia's column. And/or pickup a copy (free, but give them $ anyway) at your local store (check the grocery store vestibule) to get the scan code for Mary's Spotify mix for each column,because it's fantastic. It will also make you mad that there's not a radio station that will just give Mary the keys to the studio and a bunch of money to just come be Mary.,
