But availability is not the same as usability. A database full […] The post From access to understanding: making legal information usable in the age of AI appeared first on Internet for Lawyers Newsletter.

This is one of the reasons why the current obsession with growth is misguided. Growth in GDP means increased rewards for capital, not so much for labour. Plus of course GDP measures a lot of bad activity and ignores a lot of good.

You know all this, but it's worth repeating.

I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

X is the megaphone of 21st century fascism and authoritariansim. It has poisoned public debate. It is a tool for bullying, abuse, and assault. X needs to disappear from our discourse. When people and institutions post there, it gives X credibility. It keeps it relevant. It's time to stop.

January 9, 2026 Beginning in 1943, the War Department published a series of pamphlets for U.S.

This is an important and sobering read about a 1943 American pamphlet warning citizens what fascism in America would look like. Every bit of it is happening now

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.
