I suspect that was CJ Roberts’ plan all along— that he had the votes to overturn, which he will; but he kept the opinion writing for himself so he could sit on it until the true damage isn’t possible this cycle.

Rather disappointing that NYT didn’t offer ‘I don’t like either one’ as a third choice, which would’ve been mine several times.

But AI didn’t ‘write’ anything; it just assembled some words based on a probability matrix and a prompt. There was no original thought there.

I had the good fortune to put solar on the roof and buy an electric car in 2023. Mostly free energy March thru Nov.

I think about that a lot now, how lucky I was on timing.

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

But who will be representing on the other side of that continued (and ruinous) litigation?

(I’m mostly imagining corporations flooded with litigation from unhappy folks, now armed with AI-assisted complaints, motions, etc.)

I think we misread things when people say AI will decimate lawyer jobs

More like AI will drive *more* legal demand, b/c everyone will believe they too can be AI-assisted pro se lawyers; and flood the zone w crap.

Real lawyers will then be swamped trying to, well, drain the swamp. That AI filled.

This has become a real issue with mediation. I’ve had three cases in the past six months where the plaintiff has come back and tried to repudiate the signed agreement based on AI feedback.

I am still working on strategies to handle this inside of mediation.

Only if you let New England join the Atlantic time zone with the Canadian maritimes.

Otherwise in NE high summer it’s sunrise at 4 am and sunset at 7:30. Waste of daylight.

…the exact opposite of what we’re discussing here.

That’s when the president vetoes a bill while Congress is out of session, so Congress cannot attempt to override. This is Trump ignoring legislation Congress enacts; the legislation then goes into effect by default.

Does he know that if the president neither signs nor vetoes legislation, it just goes into law without his signature in 10 days?

From the Democrats’ perspective, his threat here should sound just fine.

An Epidemic of ‘Victory Disease’ The president is pointing to the American military’s excellence as though that somehow constitutes a strategy in itself.

For years, strategists have warned national leaders against the temptations of "victory disease," the belief that winning battles means they're winning the war. Leaders throughout history have made this mistake, and Trump seems to be making it now.

Six non-consecutive months of job losses. But we had to get rid of Biden because of the economy. Got it. 👍🏻

I’m sure this has the possibility of being a fascinating interview, except for the problem that you’re interviewing Jack Dorsey.

I’ve had just about enough of this CEO and his red-pilled nonsense. It’s software code. That’s all.

The crucial question here is: would JD Vance stick it to Trump to advance his own interests?

And really, that answer is obvious.

Weird chart. What happened in 2025 in the US? Did political leadership change and then start systematically dismantling education, science, health care, and government, levying arbitrary tariffs, randomly attacking major US cities, and destroying the economy?

Just asking.

Time to bring back the misery index! (Unemployment + inflation rates.)

Price controls is what it means.

Google pledges roughly three hours of its annual profit to fight climate change Google and others are committing $100 million to combat climate change.

The perfect headline doesn’t exi…

Price controls, people. The phrase we’re groping for is price controls.

They did the same when GW Bush invaded Iraq in 2003.

All charity donations to neo-Nazi groups automatically doubled in the deductions column, of course.

If anyone seriously believes Twitter has the compliance infrastructure to exist as a bank, please send what you’re smoking to me. (Not by DM, I’m not on Twitter.)

Took me a minute to realize that this was parody of AI language. Perfect and awful

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released.

The Trump DOJ has been taking down Epstein files.

The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released, according to a CBS analysis — and the number continues to fluctuate.

Through-line of this entire Administration is to attack all vehicles for *others* to enforce accountability

Fire inspectors general
Ignore judges and court orders
Weak investor rights
Weak whistleblowers
Bar reporters from press rooms
Suspend state bar probes.

Always about ending accountability

It inspires grave concern among adversaries that if things ever come to it, perhaps they should strike first and by surprise.

I don’t see how any company with intellectual property and two brain cells would let anyone wear these things on your premises. #privacy #HR #compliance #litigation risks are just stratospheric.
