Abramson is an attorney and professor of English at UNH and is apparently devoting his every waking moment to explaining stuff on Twitter. He has 1. 18. K followers, so I guess a lot of other people need these explanations, too. I like his lengthy threads explaining complicated matters in short sentences, because hey—if I had any kind of attention span I wouldn’t be on Twitter in the first place. Here’s the start of an epic thread tweet, this one on criminal versus non- criminal investigations: A site dedicated to law, rights, and national security. Its co- editor- in- chief, @steve. I like Just Security for commentary on international events, especially when my attention is so glued to Washington. Goldsmith is a Harvard Law prof, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, and a co- founder of Lawfare.
His laconic commentary isn’t especially hilarious, but then, what is hilarious about national security these days? But his annotations on current- events media alert me to what stories aren’t getting enough attention, as well as longer- form commentary for perspective. Finally, a brief shout- out to Matt Tait (@pwnallthethings).
Tait writes primarily about cybersecurity, but Benjamin Wittes notes that he also follows Tait for stuff in the legal/political/security area too.
