Is turnabout fair play? Conservatives won Biden-era Supreme Court victories that limited the president’s power to craft policy. Now, those precedents are returning to haunt one of their greatest champions: President Trump www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
Trump Championed Rulings That Are Now Being Used to Check His Power
In the tariff case and others, courts are finding the president’s expansive view of executive authority clashes with decisions that limit its reach.

It is such a powerful affirmation of shared humanity to feel safe, seen, and understood. This is what love looks like.

Digital ID in theory: frictionless, secure, elegant.
Digital ID in reality: Takes 3 selfies, get told your passport “has a glare”.
Wait 5 days, get an email saying “application expired”.
Honestly, bring back scrolls and wax seals.

Why do immigration forms always ask if you've "ever committed genocide"?
Like if someone has, they’re gonna tick “Yes” and attach a CV?
Imagine thinking war criminals are just bad at lying on forms

Everyone’s worried AI will replace lawyers.
Meanwhile, I just watched a judge ask ChatGPT for case law and cite a hallucination.
Relax. We’re still safe. For now. (Also: please don’t ask Siri for your bail conditions.)

I want a browser extension that screams “OBJECTION!” every time a cookie popup tries to gaslight me with:
"By continuing to browse, you consent…"
Mate, I just blinked. That’s not consent. That’s UX entrapment.

Hot take: Notaries are just legal baristas.
You queue up, hand them something paper-based, they stamp it with flair, and suddenly you can travel.
No foam art though. Bit of a missed opportunity tbh.

There’s no intimacy like emailing an embassy 6 times, calling twice, then finally getting a one-line reply at 4:52pm on a Friday.
It's not customer service. It’s foreplay.

Still amazed that in 2025, a scanned signature is fine unless it’s not, in which case you need:

A wet signature
From a blue pen
On a Tuesday
Witnessed by a notary who only works odd weeks.

This is not due process, it’s a vibes-based system.

Built a GPT-powered tool that helps people figure out if they need an apostille.
Next step: making it wear a powdered wig and tell people politely that their birth certificate isn’t valid in Dubai. #AI #LegalTech

Legalising documents is like a long-distance relationship.

>Takes ages.

>Involves translations.

>Needs a stamp of approval from someone in Madrid.
But when it works? Beautiful!

Just joined this. Someone told me it’s like Twitter, but for people who read the terms and conditions
