Lawyer, but (probably) not yours.
I’m also curious about the use of Lofi Girl in the unclaimed portion. It’s just very strange.

Am I seeing this correctly that it’s claiming that arrangement of lorem ipsum text and a couple of lines?

Same. Definitely horror stories. I had surprisingly good results asking Claude to generate an oral argument outline with sample Q&A based on the briefs for a discovery dispute. I independently prepared the outline and then compared, and it did pretty well.

I’d be curious to compare notes. Most of the legal folks I know are either scared or using it only to ask questions or draft simple things. Not much careful experimentation happening that I’m aware of.

Which is a pay cut from his prior job in public service (SF city attorney)!

I would also like this to exist! I’ve tried the Openvibe ipad app on my Mac, but the type is too small for my aged eyes.

Yeah. It’s such a shame that in the process of becoming white in America, the Italians hitched their wagon to that dude. Still holding out hope for Sacco and Vanzetti Day.

And if we need an Italian heritage figure, there are so many better options.

When the Supreme Court struck down Biden's policies, it was tempting to think: "At least these limits on executive authority will bind Trump if he comes back into office." But no—the court's skepticism of executive power vanished on Jan. 20, 2025. This dynamic is obvious to anyone paying attention!

This is trombone erasure.

The judges there are not exactly pushovers!

I have an evidence-free theory that finances drive many decisions about when to have kids and whether to have zero/one/two (related decisions, as in Silly’s example), but those decisions are largely masked by the general trend of women’s education and opportunities driving overall numbers down.

You gotta save Brave New World for last; it at least has fun drugs.
