My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

Always amazing to see in real time the absolute failure of the conservative cultural movement, whose existence is only recognized at all thanks to billions in astroturfing money and years of gaming recommendation algorithms. They know it's all fake too but can't help but be frustrated by that

Just last week Labor backed Brereton saying he had their full confidence. That looks completely reckless today.
It's time for Labor to read the writing on the wall and work with Parliament to remove Commissioner Brereton, then start rebuilding trust in the NACC.

BREAKING: The NACC Inspector has launched a formal investigation into Commissioner Brereton's conduct.
This is the SECOND time his behaviour has triggered an Inspector investigation. The first was over the Robodebt scandal.

It's a massive venue. I'll need you all to be there, and bring your neighbour, your parents' neighbour, the nice person at the fish & chip shop that adds extra vinegar, your Aunty - all your aunties - and anyone else you can think of. A not-full venue echoes, and we can't have that

![Case 1:24-CV-09429-KPF Document 227 Filed 02/05/26 Page 2 of 33
Feldman [wals not excused from this professional obligation [of verifying that the cases he submitted to the Court were valid] by dint of using emerging
technology." (Dkt. #169 at 4).
Mr. Feldman persisted. A few days prior to the Court's hearing on the
Order to Show Cause, Mr. Feldman submitted a proposed reply brief in further support of Affable's motion to dismiss. Once again, his brief contained false citations. And at the August 22, 2025 hearing, Mr. Feldman was unable to respond directly to, much less answer, the Court's questioning about his
submissions.
Mr. Feldman has not, and apparently cannot, learn from his mistakes.
And while the Court does not oppose the use of Al to assist in legal research
and writing, it must take a stand where, as here, counsel repeatedly files
submissions with false citations because counsel refuses to verify those
submissions. This Court can do no more. For the reasons that follow, the
Court sanctions Mr. Feldman pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11
and the Court's inherent powers by striking Affable's submissions and entering
default judgment against it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ssxnmhdtz6le6nxu7jfhglz6/bafkreigeefuabd636ruucelhxav3v3p43dezhotggrwlgjgsev2z2ggev4@jpeg)
