I'm on local radio this morning — about five seconds on WIOD 610 AM — talking about Facebook. It ran at 7:35 this morning and last night they said it would probably run several times during the morning cycle.

- Hell of a speech. Great on the issues. Passionate. Great digs ("Susan Collins: her last town hall was when I was in 8th grade") Collins as the architect of the repeal of Roe and buddy of the Epstein class. Much about him to worry about, but he's now our son of a bitch. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovj0... June 10, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Yikes. Time to take this much more seriously. June 10, 2026 Michael Froomkin

It’s your blog so… I guess you’re entitled to run with an entry that’s clearly about you, Michael Froomkin, breaking into the (small-) (very-small-) big-time of old (older) media (no-video), with a bold, energetic statement about the new media.
I’m inferring the “bold” and “energetic” parts. I hope you’ll forgive me for that inference.
But anyhow, what on earth did you actually say?
Never mind.
Some kind soul emailed me a url for the radio station’s feed. So I listened to the audio.
And I heard what you said. You said, Michael Froomkin said,
And you said it —Michael Froomkin said it— all in five short seconds. Repeatedly.
Repeatedly.
Bravo. Applause.
Hi Michael, long time lurker, hope you don’t mind me posting off topic here.
Some big news in the legal community in China going on right now. Well, not the ~real~ legal community, but close enough. Please check out my blog or chinalawblog for the details and you will understand. Might be of interest to you.
