You can only read books written by AI!

You could read just what some person in 18th century England could have read and that would just be a good start on reading. Much less the flood of books in the last centuries

There is a supply problem of books for a young person to read is an incredible take. It’s a masterpiece.

This is my favorite dumb tweet ever.

Grandma pizza

Grilled shrimp with butter

I don’t know what kind of dinner this is -
Let’s call it American jumble - but gulf shrimp with compound butter (butter, herbs, lemon zest, garlic) and pizza squares.

He’s got a great story about how his job was to run off with the slot machine when the cops came, but I need to get the full thing one evening and record it here.

I should have said, the scholarship was for Armenian Catholics. That’s why I mentioned it.

Anyway, I’m sure many of our parents have been worried about our plans and ambitions that sound risky. But not many went to a fortune teller!

My dad ultimately confronted her and got his passport back, and went to India for his degree, which set him on the path to the US eventually.

And in fact, the palm reader was accidentally correct. He never came home to live. But eventually his whole family moved to Toronto.

He couldn’t find it anywhere. He was frantic. Finally, his sister came to him, and told him his mother, my grandmother had hidden it. She had gone to a Palm reader, and they had foretold that if my Dad went to Bombay, he would never come home again. /3

Dad is Armenian Catholic, and was a good student at his high school. So, as I’ve told on here, he found a college scholarship in then Bombay, and secured it.

So the new story starts here. He was packed to go, and was looking for his passport. /2

A new story from my Dad I’d never heard before.

As I’ve said, my dad grew up in Beirut. His family was poor - my grandpa was a cobbler, and then when his hands gave out, ran a bakery where there was an illegal slot machine. Anyway, my dad was good at school and wanted to go to college. /1

He spent his summers mining in the Colorado mountains, trying to raise money for his firm website.

No thank you

This Forgotten Gin Classic Is “Silky as Hell” A forgotten gin cocktail, the Mickey Finn is an underrated classic drink that Atlanta restaurant Whoopsie’s has transformed into a Martini.

A new cocktail: @anthonyrickey.bsky.social recently introduced me to the Mickey Finn. It’s really good! Bracing, but really good.

I mean either raw or cooked in beef tallow for extra manosity

As a gimmick, you serve the sushi with celery and bleu cheese dressing

Wait sushi sports bar. This needs to happen

But do you eat the sushi first or the wings?

Just saw a restaurant billed as selling “sushi and wings” and honestly, I’m into it.

DECISION AND ORDER OF THE IMMIGRATION JUDGE Pursuant to the order of the District Court for New Jersey (District Court), Khalil v. Trump, No. 25-CV-01963 (MEF)(MAH), 2025 WL 1983755 (D.N.J.

Comans United States Immigration Judge ' The District Court for New Jersey erroneously found that this Court's determination on removability under INA § 237(a)(4)(C)(i) was decided on June 20, 2025 in its written decision. This is wholly untrue. This Court issued an oral decision on April 11, 2025 at the contested removability hearing to specifically address the sustainability of the charge pursuant to INA § 237(a)(4)(C)(i). The Court's oral decision of April 11, 2025 is documented in the procedural history of the Court's written decision on the Respondent's (Mr. Khalil) application for relief from removal dated June 20, 2025. 2 The District Court for New Jersey acknowledges that Mr. Khalil "persuasively argues that if the Section 1227 [237(a)(4)(C)(i)] finding remains in the immigration judge's June 20 decision, the Board of Immigration Appeals would simply have no choice under existing case law but to affirm it. See Khalil v. Joyce, 2025 WL 1232369, at *41-42 (D.N.J. Apr. 29, 2025); Petitioner's Brief (July 17, 2025) at 4 (citing declarations)." Khalil v.

NEW: The immigration judge overseeing Mahmoud Khalil's case is *seething* over being ordered by Judge Farbiarz to vacate her decision finding Khalil removable under Marco Rubio's determination, accusing Farbiarz of "interfering with the legal process and the authority of the immigration court."

Lyon!

However, and alas, the Judge at least has judicial immunity against the allegations. Judge Ho dissents.

Hijinks! A judge calls juror in for a venire - including people with him he has a grudge - and then has them arrested for violating Texas law about juror residency. Likely all an elaborate set up to eliminate 3 voters in a county with only 64 residents! /1

Those factors distinguish this case from the products-liability cases that required experts on causation. Those cases lacked any expert at all but required one to explain what went wrong. Here, by contrast, we have two experts to explain the design defect. From there, like the plaintiffs in Bialek and Topelski, Slatowski must rely on his lay eyewitness testimony. 242 A.2d at 233, 235; 180 A.2d at 418–19. It may not prove persuasive. But that is up to the jury, not the judge. True, Slatowski’s theory of causation is fuzzy. He does not know whether the trigger was depressed by some debris or the holster itself. And his experts neither considered the gun’s holster nor tested how it would have interacted with the gun. Yet all that goes to the strength of his case, not whether a jury could decide for itself how his theory adds up.

3d Cir. revives design defect case against Sig Sauer after (forgive the passive; this is the question for the jury) his P320 discharged into his hip.

Held: expert witnesses cannot testify as to causation, but can describe the gun and let the jury decide issue.
