So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Well this was sad news to wake up to.

Jerry Greenfield - one half of the iconic Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream brand - is resigning from the company he built with Ben Cohen, as a result of being silenced by Magnum Global.

Here is his statement on why he’s leaving the company.

everyone complains about people always chasing the T-14 but not enough people complain about how the T-14 is holding everyone back
Of course clients will say that law firms should cover the costs. I don't think that's actually the way forward. Clients should say yes I will pay and I want to see evidence that you used it and my billings have decreased.

We’re hiring at Princeton on AI and society, working with Arvind Narayanan or me depending on fit.

I think current AI developments are all a huge deal but am very unexcited by current state of the AGI and/or AI safety discourse.

Please share as you see fit.

Yesterday I got to speak at my fav legal innovation conference @legalgeek.bsky.social. Some observations from yesterday: The dialogue has moved from “Should we adopt AI?” to “Here’s what we’re building.” Agentic workflows took centre stage. Notable increase in investment in legal tech. #legaltech
Interesting to see the stats. Couple of thoughts: 1. I suspect this will continue to happen and maybe even increas as adoption increase. 2. 3 from Canada in the chart - not sure if anyone knows of any other cases in Canada. #legalai

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs.

It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.
Listening to the audiobook of "Why Nations Fail" and I wonder how @dacemoglumit.bsky.social and James Robinson view or revise what they wrote based on what is happening today re political corruption, dismantling of the rule of law, targeting of educational institutions, ....

Canadian MPs elected a new Speaker of the House this morning. So why is he being dragged “against his will” to the chair? #cdnpoli
