As a former federal district court law clerk, I have to say it is quite a reversal from the norm when a pro se attorney is calling out briefing missteps made by the U.S. Attorney's Office.

much better

i gotta say the answers to this one are depressing the fuck out of me

And if so, does that make any such contract unenforceable, i.e., kill the breach of contract claim? What about the fraud/misrepresentation claims?

I don't know enough about CFTC regulation -would the prohibition on war/terrorism/assassination bets mean that Kalshi could not legally have offered the contract that plaintiffs say they expected?

"The 'death carveout' upon which Defendants relied was not adequately disclosed to consumers. To the extent any version of the death carveout appeared in Defendants’ formal contract terms or internal rules, it was not incorporated into the user-facing rules summary upon which consumers relied"

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Vinay Prasad, M.D.

gotta say i'm not loving this new environment where antisemitism seems to be the point of consensus

I do not understand how we retconned GWOT as woke and have determined George W. Bush was a purple haired trans lesbian socialist who made the troops wear pronoun pins.

i saw a post by a new mother who explained how she almost fell down an anti-vaxx rabbit hole. it had to do w/, being pregnant, she had no agency - there was a constant set of directions she had to follow. choices about vaccinations felt like the only place she was allowed to assert control

I finally got Zoom's "AI Companion" to tell me how to disable it.

There's no option in the phone or desktop app, you have to go to your account on the Zoom website.

Asking an LLM to provide step by step instructions on how to disable the LLM is one of only a few legitimate use cases.

Can't make this shit up

Oh nice the thing I worry about every single time I walk across a city grate happened.
