Ms. Rosenberg

Shabbat shalom, Akiva. And Ramadan mubarak to your opposing counsel.

This is how it's supposed to be.

Lawyers who think they're professionally obligated to be assholes to each other are the bane of the profession, and you find them everywhere from sole practitioners in strip malls to the biggest of BigLaw in Manhattan.

Oral argument on the 12(b)(6) motion is gonna be a banger. “Counsel, are you telling me your clients expect a payout on a bet placed after the announcement that Khameinei had died?”

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

And the hospital's lawyer hasn't insisted in a continuance based on the cyber attack and resulting flood of patients at this hospital? And hadn't met Dr. King until just before the depo? C'mon.

This thing on The Pitt about how Dr. King has a deposition in a couple hours? No. No one has a deposition on July 4. Carelessness

South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign

I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.

there is a level of societal sickness here that is simply unfathomable even in the most politically polarised societies elsewhere

Oh, right. Today is Hamantash Wednesday.

That is a THINKER 🤣

Oh. Oh NO

It is directly on point bc it does appear that NYT is buying into the next moral panic (what happened to the good ol days when disabled people could adapt, die, or live indefinitely as children)

I am thinking about the deaf student, probably 15 years ago, who went thru all of law school w school-provided ASL interpreters, how he killed his 1L oral argument, how we joked the interpreters should get a JD too. The world got a whole lawyer out of that accommodation

When you think about it, disability accommodations & anti-discrimination laws are extremely good for the economy bc they make sure more people are maximally productive

The Probable Outcome: A Win for the Plaintiff (at the Motion Stage) However, recent rulings (like those in the Character.A/ litigations) suggest that when an Al generates harmful instructions (rather than just hosting a human's post), it is a product feature, not third-party speech. A court would likely find this specific interaction extraordinary dangerous. Ask Gemini 3 + 0- -0 Fast

Oh and then “Given this analysis, predict the outcome of a case where a chatbot told a user to find a body for the bot to inhabit, then told the user to kill himself if he could not find a body”

Went ahead & asked Gemini about the product liability exposure for a chatbot that encourages a user to s’cide

Billy Joel in the "Glass Houses" era.

🎵You may be right!

I'm kind of tasty!🎵

Also I am curious about the upkeep expenses on oceanfront properties. You’ve got salt damage & beach erosion to repair in addition to acres of gardens, watering, etc. The taxes might be the least of it

The Piano Man’s Long Goodbye to Long Island

NYT opened comments for this story & they are all some version of “Eat the rich even if that’s Billy Joel”

(Nice photos though)

Cycling judges between SCOTUS & the Circuits would help remove the reverence, a much needed reform.

Expand to 15 Circuits & have one SCOTUS seat per Circuit.

good to know, defense is so important

So long as the other side is shooting zero in 17, I don't see why not.

Say can you win a basketball game if you’re shooting 1 in 17

He can be in there but he has to face the wall
