"Injustices" (Millhiser) and "The Case Against the Supreme Court" (Chemerinsky) similar books, useful for thinking about how the Court has always been awful.

"The Fight for Privacy" (Citron) and "The Aisles Have Eyes"/"Voice Catchers" (Turow) wow... surveillance is even scarier than you thought.

Thank you Labor of Love Transport Rescue for helping us get her out of the woods and then the medical care she needs.

We carried her out maybe a mile before the folks from the rescue arrived with bandages and a stretcher. The group of us then carried her out that way, my back was thankful. Koko was a perfect angel on my shoulder, in my friends arms, and on the stretcher!

Went hiking last week and ended up getting involved in rescuing Koko πŸ• from the woods in upstate SC. This beautiful pup had a broken leg and a possible gunshot wound. A fellow hiker saw her the night before and got help from local rescue organizations to come back for her.

Every time I have to go back into a draft of a paper and replace my "CITE XYZ HERE" notes or even worse just "CITE", I hate myself and swear to never do that crap again, and yet here I am.

I guess the media needs it to be spelled out but the core principle of RFKj wellness fascism is that if you get sick it’s your fault, you could have avoided it by using the right β€œsupplements” and working out, so you might as well die because you’re of no use

For those of you teaching undergrad Con Law and Civil Liberties/Rights in the near future, what's your approach for teaching those types of courses in the current moment? I feel like teaching classic precedent stuff is missing the mark but also going all in on cynicism doesn't help the students.

The Supreme Court and its decisions has been bad for regular people and their rights since the start. The Warren Court was a slight divergence and even then, its cases were not always as "liberal" as we give them credit for.

A continuation of the Supreme Courts insane deference to (republican) Presidents unquestionable power and their own power grab. Lower courts are being cut out of the picture.

RFK is not lying, nor confused or misinformed, he is peddling bullshit. He doesn't care about reality or truth, like an LLM produces something that sounds "right", he just creates something that fits his model of what the answer should be, parroting the language of science without the substance.

AI and RFK are the same peddlers of bullshit.

From the Hicks et al. "ChatGPT is Bullshit" piece: "whereas LLMs are simply not designed to accurately represent the way the world is, but rather to give the impression that this is what they’re doing."
