Is this the mind-blowing beauty you promised? Because it's working.

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky 🦋

You know ambulance chaser is a metaphor, right?

But what if I like world building and enjoy pain? Is there a podcast for that?

Lake Street Dive is such a treasure.

OUT: Bundle of sticks.

IN: Marx.

She's being represented by the hospital's lawyers, which is fine. She's a direct employee of the hospital.

Me watching The Pitt each week.

That's the one.

Just in: The Government's opening brief in the law firm executive order appeals.

(Pro se plaintiff. Who is also an attorney.)

1996? So, like, 15 years or so?

(Does some math).

Oh.

Well, see, I do the AI version, and then I do the cite check, and then voila!

Is it bad when you're an AUSA and include what appear to be AI hallucinated cites in a brief? Is it worse when the pro se plaintiff calls you out on it? (Though, in fairness, it appears the plaintiff is also an attorney.)

Looking forward to a little treat* to end the week.

(*The Government's opening brief in the law firm EO appeals, which the Government thought were indefensible until they weren't.)

Ah, so the unconditional surrender was inside of us this whole time.

I don't think anyone will slap the "bad parent" label on someone who says, "hey, I see a lot of things online and is this really safe?" It's persisting in refusal once your trusted pediatrician, who is prepped and ready for this conversation, has explained to you that is wrong.

In fairness, the declaration says that they can get the automated system stood up in 45 days, which isn't bonkers.

Also, this is just the process-and-structure nerd in me, but it is fascinating to learn about the nuts and bolts about how things actually work. Too many think it is just a press a button and the thing happens, but government is people and proccesses and systems and a LOT of effort.

Awful lawyers: "No, no, you don't use AI to answer legal questions with hallucinated cites. //I// use AI to answer legal questions with hallucinated cites."

You will never go wrong betting on "Goverment IT systems are held together by spit, sealing wax, and a deep faith in a higher power."

"sorry, man, my mom [assistant general counsel] said we can't play together anymore."

Nonsense. You are incredibly regal all by yourself.

I think this is less a subtle burn and more the Times' "down" style for titles. As for the subtance, I don't mind calling her the former U.S. Attorney. She was invalidly appointed, but she exercised the powers of that office for a time. For a general audience, I don't object to the description.

It's a restriction on DOJ's use of funds. 28 U.S.C. 530C(c)(1).

You love to see it! Congratulations!

It's like the footnote is dictating a telegram.

I cannot imagine telling 2010 me, when I graduated law school, that one day OPM would need to launch an "Attorney Talent Network" because the federal government is hard up for attorneys willing to work for it.
