For new arrivals…hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a law librarian and legal technologist. My past is EDU and A2J, but now work more with Big Law. I like making things better, open source and free law, professional development, and telling people they’re wrong. I live in rural USA with my 82 year old dad.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I got so little sleep last night through no fault but my own and I’m basically trying to stay Awake until such time that I can go to bed and stay asleep until morning.

Every now and then I think abt your tweet in Fall 2016 that was like [paraphrasing]”I’d almost take Trump win if it meant cubs winning World Series“ and anyway it’s not your fault but I truly believe the Cubs winning put us wrong timeline and I don’t know how to fix. Win again? Lose in heartbreaker?

If you as a legal professional do not like this, then i suggest you put pressure on local legal regulators to make alternative legal representation more available. because people are not going to go without helping themselves and if copyright holders can't stop AI companies, the state bars ain't.

"White used ChatGPT to identify potential errors in a judge’s decision ... [to] overturn her eviction notice and avoid roughly $55K in penalties and more than $18K in overdue rent. 'I never, ever, ever, ever could have won this appeal without AI.'" www-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nbcn...

People are using ChatGPT as a lawyer in court. Some are winning.

From pickleball disputes to eviction cases, litigants are using ChatGPT to fight their court battles — and they’re starting to win.

this is not to say that they’re going away any time soon or that things won’t get worse before they get better, but last week felt like the administration started coming unglued and this week feels like the unraveling is speeding up

I guess I should have prepared for the fact that the bad thing about Trump lying all the time is not just the media giving up on correcting it but that it would become indistinguishable from a possible decent into dementia.

well, live and learn, I guess

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

so ICE shooting a clergy member in the head while praying....isn't religious liberty kind of a big deal to current SCOTUS?

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

🎃 Scare-ah G. 🎃 @sglassmeyer.bsky.social · 4h

everything about all this sucks but the fact that they're "doing it for the 'gram" (by which i mean whatever neo-nazi telegram channels they no doubt belong too as well as official gov social media) is somehow rock bottom. At least they're gathering lots of evidence for future tribunals.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

I still don't believe in astrology but re-upping this for...reasons.

🎃 Scare-ah G. 🎃 @sglassmeyer.bsky.social · Jul 4

Do I believe in astrology? No. Am I still sharing this Vanity Fair article from 2006 that reads the United States stars? Hellls yes. www.vanityfair.com/news/2006/12...

Excerpt: Uranus in Aries is going to be the 1960s all over again. The greatest time of upheaval will be between 2015 and 2019, when the square of Uranus in Aries to Pluto in Capricorn will create the seeds of revolution everywhere. Forces of repression are going to clamp down even harder on those who want to speak their minds.

Then, in the years 2023–25, the final stages of the Pluto return and the Capricorn effect will reach a climax. Some astrologers believe that an empire lasts no longer than one Pluto cycle, and by 2025 this cycle will be played out. And no matter how you look at it, the U.S.A. is an empire.

Just as the British Empire began enduring sunsets after the fledgling colonies won their independence, our turn may be coming. The Pluto return of 2025 will demand a redefinition of the United States and create the ultimate identity crisis. We will have to put ourselves on the line, as we did in the 1770s.
