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.

Recent Bluessky Posts- People focus on the ABA's friendliness to DEI, but a much more consequential thing has been its demand for more clinical and experiential learning. This is commonly a right-wing demand (less theory! more skills!) so we'll see if this move changes anything in that respect. Might make it greater... January 18, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- This headline was a mild surprise. I had not contemplated that the thoroughly corrupt FIFA leadership had any capacity for shame. I suspect they just didn't like the bad PR of being so tightly associated with Trump. www.theguardian.com/football/202... January 18, 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.
