Ai will keep lawyers in business until the heat death of the universe.

Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you've litigated against a pro se plaintiff who refuses to get a lawyer and only corresponds via overlong chatGPT-drafted missives which often include devastating admissions.

I can't remember who said it (I think it was @atticusgf.bsky.social ?) but Ai is very powerful but only if you know "the shape" of what the final product should look like so you can check it effectively. I think that's dead on. Everything else is Dunning-Krugering into Gell-Mann amnesia.

Please use that photo of Judge Jones whenever you talk about her, forever. IYKYK

George, my man, you can't record with the window *behind* you. Please for the sake of our eyeballs, turn the camera around or get a giant key light.

WHAT MENTAL FACULTIES? Shut up, Rohin.

One of my biggest fears in life (if not the biggest) is losing my mental faculties and not being able to remember true events or tell reality from fiction. Being gaslit by family, even for the best of intentions, is an unspeakable horror.

The president is entirely right. The Court took too long and the failure to provide a clear remedy is absurd.

Honestly, I would have voted for lectern over Trump.

I'd estimate that import businesses probably have until close of business to import as much as they possibly can before Trump imposes more illegal tariffs.

Man, I've been waiting for this crash out.

The first part is definitely true; refunds will probably be a mess.

But did the US actually make any real, actually-papered and ratified trade deals? I remember a bunch of words but I don't recall anything solid.

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

Shorter CJR: Brett, you ignorant slut!

HUGE open questions about what happens to the billions already collected and whether Trump will try an end run around the opinion (like calling all the tariffs "licenses") or under another statute.

Well look at that, SCOTUS finally agrees that the monstrously illegal tariffs are, in fact, illegal.

I was a couple of blocks away from Comet Ping Pong when the Pizzagate shooter shot up the place and saw about a dozen police cars race by to respond. Moral panics have real consequences. The fact that the main proponents of the conspiracy are still grifting is a huge failing.

That's exactly what a Communist Satanic clown would say. You probably played too many violent video games.

This is made more complicated by the fact that this is a JAG lawyer standing in for the DOJ (because most of the AUSAs quit). He was ordered to be a SAUSA, which means saying "I won't do this anymore" is a direct refusal to obey an order, which can trigger a court-martial or other discipline.

"Replace one word of this title with [thing]" is the Cards Against Humanity of posting. (extreme pejorative)

What, they are supposed to identify a crime in the indictment EVERYTIME?

I think you’re right on both counts. The crown guard on the Panerai is pretty distinctive. Hard to tell in the second photo but definitely looks like a snowflake hand on a dive watch which means Tudor.

Huh, I'm no political expert but "we don't want punish child rapists because the stock market is doing well" seems like bad optics.

Holy cow. This is unheard of. I'm starting to think this might have been a meritless political prosecution.

The Seahawks want to require three points after a field goal, but Mike Vrabel says that's dead on arrival.

I would read multiple books on how the vast majority of libertarians sided with Trump. Personally, I think it's exhibit #1 in favor of the "politics became ideology" theory.

I used to reward myself with a candy bar if I finished a brief. Then, in addition, I incentivized myself to start writing by eating a candy bar (for the energy!). It was...sub-optimal.

Bad Bunny reclaimed América from the United States. And made the United States just one of many in a continent where we’re all americanos. Con minúscula.

“God bless América,” he goes.

And then the lists all of it:

Sea 🇨🇱 🇦🇷 🇺🇾 🇵🇾 🇧🇴 🇵🇪 🇪🇨 🇧🇷 🇨🇴 🇻🇪 🇬🇾 🇵🇦 🇨🇷 🇳🇮 🇭🇳 🇸🇻 🇬🇹 🇲🇽 🇨🇺 🇩🇴 🇯🇲 🇭🇹 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇵🇷

“Together we are América.”

Uhhh, ya sure. All true. But there are some, um, bigger problems with that "memo."

Yes, this is what all of my texts look like. So what.
