Today is Day Three of Fault Lines, and for the benefit of you slackers who haven’t yet bothered to read — and show me the love, do I ask for too much? — here’s what you missed thus far:
WELCOME TO FAULT LINES: MONITORING AMERICA’S CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
PLEADING DIRTY: DO PLEA BARGAINS CORRUPT THE SYSTEM?
POLICE BRUTALITY: FROM MICHAEL BROWN TO MICHAEL BRELO
TSA SECURITY THEATER: WHEN THE SHOW BOMBS
“PERFECT STORM” FOR POLICE REFORM: WHY CLEVELAND MIGHT BE DIFFERENT
SORRY, SCOTUS DIDN’T SAY WHAT YOU WANTED IT TO SAY IN ELONIS
Aside from my posts, Fault Lines has posts from Cristian Farias, slumming from his writing at New York Magazine, Tamara Tabo, slumming from her teaching at Thurgood Marshall Law School in Houston and Greg Prickett, a 20-year police vet who practices law in Fort Worth.
Each brings their own perspective and style to Fault Lines. It’s worth your time to take a look, guaranteed or a full refund.

Impressive. Congratulations!
There better be coupons.

At least some of the problem is that the system over there is still not cross-linking new posts quickly/automatically. For example, as of right now the last two links you have above do not appear when you click on “Fault Lines” and the TSA story has no stub link to the next post, even though when you open them up directly they are tagged as Fault Lines.
Glitches suck. We’re trying to figure out why things that are supposed to work aren’t. Thanks for the heads up.
I’ve been checking it out. Good stuff. But I like some of the submitted names better.
That’s because you’re very old. And from Ohio. Did I mention you were old?
Fault Lines isn’t bad. It’s the Sabrina Rubin Erdely of vertical names.
That’s just mean.
Sir, folks want to know if it’s cool to post links to relevant SJ & DP articles over at F/L in addition to donating our two cents?
And, just curious if Fault Lines was chosen due to being similar to that slippery slope you warned us about?
Thanks.
For now, at least, FL is relatively virgin turf. My rules don’t apply, so knock yourself out.
I look forward to using the phrase “relatively virgin.”
I liked the Elonis artie, except for the last section. The other articles seemed boring, too afraid of expressing any opinion that too many others would disagree with. I only looked at the IP section and the Fault Lines section FWIW.
Then again, I am probably not the target audience here. Seems like Mimesis Law is looking for Newsweek / WSJ / CBS news consumers who also happen to be lawyers.
Best wishes for finding what you seek, but I hope that you keep up with SJ type posts here at the SJ.
One of the first things you learn when you post something publicly is that you can’t please everyone, and there’s no point in trying. Some think posts are too “forceful,” while others think they’re too “tepid.”
Rather than write to please, people just write. I write my way. Other people write their way. That’s why we have different writers, to reflect different views and styles. And no, you aren’t the target audience, but I won’t mention why.
Now I want to go to one of Tamara Tabo’s dinner parties. Though I can’t help suspecting that that’s not what I was supposed to take away from the Elonis piece.
Don’t tell Greenfield that, other rob. He’ll start auctioning off invitations to dinners at my place to the first ten readers who post Fault Lines links on social media or something.
Or something. So what’s for dinner?
