Really enjoyed speaking at DSIT’s Space Horizon Scanning Network yesterday about my work on the use of force in outer space. It’s such a great forum for bringing together space policy leads and analysts from across government. Thanks for having me!
Excellent @epobjie.bsky.social Space Horizon Scanning Network talk today - connecting dots on international law and space is so useful.

The new nuclear "Basic Principles" just dropped (h/t @dvsteff.bsky.social). The key change is that it's the aggression that "poses critical threat to the sovereignty and/or territorial integrity" instead of "puts the very existence of the state in jeopardy" publication.pravo.gov.ru/document/000...

Hot off the press, expertly edited by @glexareen.bsky.social, @drmitchtravis.bsky.social & Kieran Tranter and with many contributions I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into (and one by me that I'll let you judge).

I think this moment calls for fresh thinking about law, both domestically (in the US) and internationally.

So, for you legal academics: what (or whom) have you read recently that has been fresh and interesting—even changed how or what you think?
