And so it begins... Client telling me that my (and counsel's) advice is wrong and that I need to consider various cited cases that support their view. Which cases don't exist. Client admits used an LLM AI, but comes back to me with further detailed argument, citing other cases which.. don't exist.

‘All doctors get things wrong. What matters hugely to families in our position is that they have the courage and humility to admit to these mistakes. If they do, it transforms the way you feel about a clinician.’

At the weekend, two consecutive nights at Deutsche Oper Berlin, both nearly sold out. Only two other masks seen each night.

In a hospital yesterday, I was going to make a comment about "sanitiser theatre", but then the woman turned around and she was wearing a mask. The only person, apart from me, I encountered there wearing one.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

A fascist dictator is ordering armed troops from another state to invade the city of Chicago, and the Chicago Tribune editorial board reacts by warning Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson to avoid injudicious language. Really.

Editorial: We need our leaders to stay cool as ICE-related chaos gets hot

Provocateurs on the right and left were the story of a chaotic weekend in Chicago. Our political leaders need to reclaim the narrative and cool things down.

Farage has a keen understanding of political publicity. So when he portrayed himself in a classic Mussolini pose and his Brexit Party rally as an echo of Mosley's gathering of 30,000 fascists at Earl's Court in July 1939 he knew exactly what he was doing. He was proclaiming his fascism.

I know plenty of politicians 'working classify' their backgrounds, but this from Jenrick is taking the piss.

His father's linked in is here: uk.linkedin.com/in/bill-jenr...

He was a managing accountant who ended up as the Managing Director of Cannon Industries

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Except in degree and detail, no different from deploying National Guard troops to US cities from other states. Labour's emerging approach is ICE-lite. Lite, so far. And Tories and Reform would be worse. Trump is the model, including for Labour.

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
