a thing i think about a lot is that the median tech billionaire enjoys a level of privilege, wealth and comfort that even the most profligate medieval king could not have dreamt of, with absolutely none of the responsibilities that king would have had, while constantly demanding to be thanked for it

it’s difficult to overstate how much the next generation of Republicans is worse

we’re seeing a little of it bleed into the current admin with their social media interns but basically every young person actively engaged in Republican politics is a psychotic freak who should be exiled from society

I live by a let them come to me philosophy

In the small window of the before times that I had in law school, I really wanted to work for the federal government.

I have the opportunity to do the funniest bit right now.

I need that jacket.

you want your message getting out there. you want your personal acts of resistance to become national symbols. that is, in fact, the only way we're going to win this.

This. I know people in Minneapolis would do it. I can’t speak for anyone else.

Courts are going to be extra skeptical of this as well because multiple lawyers have been disciplined for using generative AI. It hallucinates case law among other issues. This is well known in the legal profession at this point.

Regulations also cannot be arbitrary or capricious. This means the agency has to show that the regulation is based on actual reasoning and considered all relevant factors. It also cannot be impulsive, random, and not based on factual findings.

The preambles to rules are also not “word salad” as one of the presenters stated. They’ve been expanded more because agencies no longer receive deference for legal interpretation, so the preamble is now used to justify and defend the rule’s legal grounds more substantively.

New grounds for challenging regulations in court just dropped.

One of the striking things about this watch is it looks so tacky that it appears cheap.

This is like when my grandmother would fall asleep in church. I would nudge her when she snored, and she’d say she was not asleep. She was resting her eyes in the word of the Lord.

I think products liability is an open avenue since most cases have been brought against police alone. Given this reporting, I think there’s enough here to bring claims and get experts to sufficiently challenge “Safe” Restraints’s defenses.

Products liability lawyer here. I’m in agreement, but these cases would have hurdles with causation. Defense is other factors caused the death (especially with ME rulings) or the officer’s misuse of the device or other actions caused the death/break the chain of causation.

The People vs. ICE Renee Good’s death galvanized a city eager to push back against Trump’s invasion.

I wrote about Minneapolis.

anyway there’s a certain kind of guy that likes to gloat over panicky libs when we avoid the worst outcomes, largely because of things lots of individual actors did to prevent it.

Won bar trivia tonight! Hanging out with this crew every week is always my highlight.

Wanting to take these clients as well. As well as anyone harmed by AI or who had a loved one harmed by AI

The reaction in Iceland to Trump’s speech has largely been “What does he mean by this?”

As a former resident, Iceland is about to tell me to suit up. 😭

Posting led to the career I have now, so hey might happen again.

I love that my bit about wanting a 3rd Amendment case is so strong that people always send me potential 3rd Amendment case news.

That’s wild! Although everyone getting notifications about what apps you play little games on or post on is very funny.

Show me when my opps look at my LinkedIn so I know to invite them to my table of success.

I get the dumbest LinkedIn notifications. “You’ve been noticed by people at Farrar & Ball.” Yeah man, I work there.

I want to be barred in a Commonwealth country so bad, but I fear I’d bust out laughing if my opposing counsel looked like George Washington.

Season 3 plot of Hijack just dropped.
