wait, there may ever be an end to the NPM patching treadmill in sight? 😭😭😜

my Coastie loves to go on about how the USCG makes all their Academy grads learn to use a sextant while the Navy doesn't. I should ask him if that's still the case. 😂
They used to spend a long time on the Eagle plotting their location only with a sextant & then compared to actual location later.

A fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog sits on a neighborhood sidewalk at sunset, golden light glowing around its fur. The dog wears a pink harness attached to a blue leash, with a quiet residential street and houses softly blurred in the background.

Tallie is waiting patiently for Kell Walkies

A fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog stands on a sunny neighborhood sidewalk, smiling with its tongue slightly out while on a blue leash. Yellow daffodils and green spring plants bloom along the garden edge beside the path, capturing a warm, cheerful spring day.

Spring walkies in West Seattle this afternoon

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I'm so happy that you're in less pain, and hooray for finding things that make you happier & getting to see the kiddo more 💜

lol he stayed in the sit though! Tallie is very fond of what we call the "curtsey" aka "my fuzzbutt touched the ground for 0.00010 of a second, your 'sit' requirement has been met on a technicality" 😂

A fluffy black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog stands indoors on a dark floor, looking at the camera with its mouth slightly open. The dog has a thick, long coat with a white blaze down its face and chest, and is positioned in a room with teal walls, large windows, and a couple of black chairs in the background.

Tallie is excited that it's almost Friday

Oooof 💙💙💙

Her tail kills me

sheltie excitement

I swear they're also worse vacuums than they used to be. I have one Roomba that's about 8 years old, WAY better of a vacuum than the new one my parents gifted us for Christmas. 😒 The new one drops clumps of Tallie fur all over and can't pick up pine needles very well. Old one has no issues. 🤨

sending lots of strength for both of you 💙 💙 💙

oh noes. sending some warm tea & honey.

(that lost context trying to make character limits, "they" == creators of bluebook 😅)

classic Claude, "here it's close enough!"

(I sadly don't have a bluebook floating around here anymore to check, but I wish they would at least make an online checker that you could put a cite in to verify if they won't make their own cite formatter tool 😒)

it's flurrying here but, alas, not sticking. So here's Tallie last February being quite excited about the snow:

Screenshot of a chat interface. At the top right is a small thumbnail of a PDF labeled “PDF.” In the chat, a user message reads, “hi claude, Can you make a bluebook cite for this court order?” Below, the assistant responds: “Here’s the Bluebook citation for this order: Bartz v. Anthropic PBC, No. C 24-05417 WHA, 2025 WL [___] (N.D. Cal. June 23, 2025).” The response adds that the Westlaw citation number must be filled in once assigned and explains that a pinpoint citation would appear as “at *3.”

where was this when I had to do bluebook spading for law review???? 🤯

Awww, I hope her recovery goes well ❤️‍🩹

Anthropic’s Legal Plug-In Wasn’t Market Entry, It Was Marketing Anthropic’sobjective is not to compete with legal tech startups – quite the contrary, in fact.It’sto become the model layer those startups default to, with a goal of being synonymous...

Interesting perspective on the Anthropic Legal Plug In news that everyone freaked out about last week from Nikki Shaver at @legaltechnologyhub.com (full disclosure: this is where I work) www.legaltechnologyhub.com/contents/ant...

Grew up Presbyterian who went to Catholic schools as a kid: can very much assure you that Protestants don't abstain from meat during Lent. 😁

A black-and-white Shetland Sheepdog lies calmly on a light-colored floor in what appears to be a veterinary exam room. The dog wears a blue leash and looks off to the side with a relaxed, slightly curious expression. A desk, computer tower, rolling stool, and small stainless steel trash can are visible in the background.

Sheltie side-eye is very much a thing and boy did I get sheltie side-eye when I took Tallie in for her follow-up appointment today.

She's back on an antibiotic for her paws now though- hopefully, really, really this time this will clear it all up?

Paul Blume @PaulBlume_FOX9 · 1h BREAKING NEWS: U.S. District Court Judge Laura Provinzino has just found a government atty in CIVIL CONTEMPT of COURT for violations of her orders in a habeas case. Attorney cited is Matthew Isihara, a JAG atty from Dept. of War assisting in local US Attorney office @FOX9 (1/) Paul Blume @PaulBlume_FOX9 · 1h Judge Provinzino had ordered a detained immigrant held by ICE in El Paso, TX be released in Minnesota with all of his identification papers. ICE released the man in TX with none of his papers, forcing his attorney to find him a shelter for the night & flight back to MN (2/)

Paul Blume @PaulBlume_FOX9 · 57m Judge said she is imposing CIVIL CONTEMPT "to force the government to comply with her court order" to immediately return immigrant's papers. Gov't attorney Matthew Isihara is responsible for $500 daily fine, every day the man does not have his papers starting tomorrow. (3/3) Paul Blume @PaulBlume_FOX9 · 47m CONTEMPT FINDING: Matthew Isihara apologized for allowing the order in this habeas case to "fall through the cracks." Blamed situation on case overload & significant understaffing in US Attorney's office. Says he has picked up nearly 130 habeas cases in just last month. @FOX9

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

oooh, I haven't, but I will have to check it out!!

Me, when we were dating, to my Coastie: "it's ok if you don't like scotch, but when you meet my parents, my dad WILL pour you a glass & he'll tease you for life you can't drink it neat"

Me today: "why are you finishing off my Glenfarclas?"😂
(we are a Bad Influence, he likes peaty single malts now🥃)

Me in 1L Torts class unable to make the outcomes of cases fit into set of rules you could always apply led to 🤯😭😭😭😭

That squishy-ness is probably also hard for LLMs. I think they'll help a ton for flagging issues, and contract review, but outside software development, things are not so rules bound.

GenAI has different outputs for the same input, yes, but we can verify the output via unit tests, static analysis, and execution. It compiles and passes tests or doesn't. Claude for verifying that Dependabot/Renovate updates are safe: AMAZING. Super accurate.

Law does not work that way.

Software engineer who's been to law school: I rather agree with this. I use Claude constantly for software, but it's "eh" for legal stuff. And I think a lot has to do with my mental meltdown in Torts 1L: there is no compiler for law...

Aww! Hi Eddie, you are adorable!

shelties are the best, they're all I've ever had, and all I probably ever will. so sweet, so smart but also so sassy 😆
