HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE!

Oh wait, hold on, someone's telling me something...

You know better than anyone how you personally learn. Do that. Bar prep is harder than the actual exam. And besides, you passed the exam the minute you finished your first semester. Everything after that was just a formality.

Accept that you've passed. This is just noise and spicy gatekeeping.

Had another student reach out when she was in bar prep, after I was admitted. She was freaking out because her bar prep scores weren't good and she was behind. Her scores were actually better than mine. She was one of four people I knew would definitely pass. I told her what I'm telling you:

I completed roughly half of my bar prep course, and I did so few practice essays that, had my school known, they would have told me I was doomed to fail. They probably already thought that from my grades.

I just knew how *I* learned and I knew what would make me burn out.

He didn’t like Twitter’s automatic adjustments for fraudulent engagements with his ad metrics. Which is a thing that happens with any online ad platform that possesses even the minimum level of competency. It saved him money.

But the horror, Dan. The horror.

A full desk and chair positioned directly in front of a bed in a hotel room

Well, assuming even a modicum of intelligence, why not?

I said his wife was a whore who gets railed multiple times a day by hung, virile fans of California’s governor.

That might cause the occupant of the executive cuck chair to feel distressed.

I think procedurally a reply brief is more of an exception.

But this weirdo opposes motions for extensions of time AFTER they’ve been granted. So I expect something will come in. Might already be there; CourtListener has a delay.

A repeat of this case because there’s “new infringement.” Supposedly I’d be sued for defamation, emotional distress, and copyright infringement. Possibly the RICO.

I welcome it. I would hunt him for sport.

I'm assured it's coming as soon as he loses in the Fifth Circuit. I've also been advised that he intends to include Twitter's lawyers and Twitter as defendants.

Ernie and Kayla. That’s what broke her mind in the end. Only two lines in the scientific journal I keep on my shitposting.

The Death of Archimedes (1815 by Thomas Degeorge) Archimedes is seated wearing a red robe, focused on some parchment where he is using a compass in his right hand to measure something. A soldier is gripping Archimedes’ left hand while the soldier raises a sword to kill him.

Artistic rendition of friends and family trying to get me to stop posting:

I’m not one to judge. It’s not like I didn’t once introduce a diehard Kyle Rittenhouse fan to a stalker of mine just to watch what would happen when my stalker claimed the Obamas were behind my account.

I mean. Joe. This is kind of on you for arguing with someone whose display name is “the fool.”

As a software engineer, LLMs create unmaintainable slop code the rest of us doing real work have to wade through to get anything done.

I've never been less impressed with our industry than at this moment.

Applying this to the law is batshit stupid and will kill people.

Judicial ethics complaint. Move for recusal. File for a civil harassment order. Immediately take a shower after court.

The same tabby, laying on a rocking chair. There’s a blanket spread out, which she’s laying on. Her eyes are closed.

The update two minutes later. Definitely sleepy.

A tabby with her eyes closed and face next to a catnip fish toy.

A few minutes late for #caturday but this is the current state of the very resident stray who has her own indoor food bowl and door set up for her. Sleepy.

Vaxxed.

Oh so you hate Empire Strikes Back huh???

Great great great grandfather Albert (1784 - 1919). Albert was a proud civil war veteran who had the distinction of fighting for both sides, first enlisting with the Confederacy in 1862 at the ripe age of 78. Later, he defected to the Union in 1864. He was later murdered by his in-home nurse after surviving the Spanish Flu. Beside him is great great great grandmother Gretchen-Lynne (1825 - 1921). She was executed by electric chair after being convicted of murdering Albert’s nurse. Pictured below is great grandfather Atticus (1900 - 2023) who is best known for founding Oklahoma’s first all-male boarding school and taxidermy shop. While people are fair to criticize calling it the Spanish Flu, Albert called it "The Spaniard's Curse" which is arguably worse.

Alt-text.

I mean, it still struggles with coding too.

“Expert-level” legal research is an impossibility for an AI. bsky.app/profile/davi...

That particular situation probably isn’t settled law anywhere. Now what?

The AI might not know whether it’s burglary to enter a small tent and steal a lockbox inside that’s zip-tied to a tent pole because the person believed the money inside was owed to him for an illegal gambling debt involving a gravel pit that might not be cleared within 21 years of a life in being.

Is it a burglary to break into a small mobile locked safe in a house containing a half million in cash or is it a burglary to crack a lot on a wall-mounted cabinet containing fine china? Or are both? It probably depends what state you’re in.

Let’s make it worse. Go to the grocery store and they have those coin change machines bolted to the checkout area. Is knocking one of those off a burglary?

Probably.

Why?

The bolts fix it to the structure of the store.

Is a metal Salvation Army clothing dropbox a “structure”?

(Yes.)

Then we get to states changing the law. Breaking and entering isn’t required. Nighttime isn’t required. Dwelling isn’t required, just needs to be a structure.

Not according to one court. Assume all the elements of burglary except the last one (intent to commit a larceny or felony inside). Not burglary apparently.

He fumbles with the zipper on the tent and enters, wanting to meth up. The quantity possessed is felony levels. Is that burglary under the rules I laid out?
