Our mistake in drafting policy which limited AI use while preserving academic freedom was to assume many faculty shared our dislike for AI
Key observation: push back we received from many faculty who saw AI as a positive tool was, to us, absolutely shocking
You overestimate how much faculty actually dislike AI
I, along with @lauracstruve.com, developed a model AI policy for higher ed
What was surprising when we presented at a conference was how many faculty wanted more, not less, use of AI in all aspects of teaching, from assignments to assessment
The use of the word "prerogative" is a bit... unusual
Maybe it’s time to abandon defending the Court as an Institution by using hesitant terms such as “ it makes the Court at least *look like*” a partisan political body
As Prince Hamlet famously said, “‘Seems’, madam? Nay, it is; I know not ‘seems’”
Keep this observation front of mind when you read the many posts from experienced Supreme Court advocates who confidently say there is “no way” Court is able to rule in favor of administration in birthright citizenship case
Tough look for the lawyers and law firms who made deals with the administration
Surely some revelation is at hand
I have the same job and, using traditional tools of lawyerly analysis, would reach the same conclusion
That said, belief that THIS Sup Ct, THIS time, will render principled decision in spite of the abandonment of traditional role of protecting indiv. freedoms, has a real Lucy with the Football vibe

We all remain skeptical there is much real desire to put this genie back in the bottle
One ruling is not a retreat from the view that Constitution needs to protect a “vigorous” and “energetic” unitary executive or any real appetite form SCOTUS to infringe on the executive’s prerogatives
Much of my past attitude towards figure skating has been shaped by the mental and physical abuse many of the young women faced - which created, to me, a high pressure sport that nobody seemed to actually enjoy doing
Watching Liu was the exact opposite - I stand delightfully corrected
With all respect to @adamliptak.bsky.social, the suggestion that Tariff decision "amounted to a declaration of independence" by SCOTUS is a bit too much
This is still the Court that expresses a need to protect a “vigorous” and “energetic” unitary executive

Partial agree
The main problems are easy to identify and mitigate with some common sense regulations
Elimination of player props and live betting would solve many (not all, to be fair) of the issues which have developed with the integrity of games and the addictive impact on young folks
Question: do any of the contracts for elite skiers require or contain financial incentives for Olympic appearances?
I know these are elite athletes with super-human competitive drives, but is there a chance that a sponsorship deal impacted Vonn’s decision to try to ski in the Olympics?
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from a guy who knows a kid who's going with the girl who says it’s Zombies.
I think it's serious.
let's be honest, america needed the patriots to get their motherfucking heads beat in like this
So much of the what GOP has been willing to do over the past decade depends on the assumption that Democrats will always revert to “norms” and “principles” and will never use levers of power in the same way (see e.g. Merrick Garland)
This observation extends well beyond partisan gerrymandering
Many of structural flaws Trump exposed — such as weaponization of DOJ and ability to withhold funding from states run by opposing party — can only be repaired once GOP recognizes that Democrats are willing to do the same thing to them

People may be scared , even "terrified," of ICE coming to the City, but traditional response of Philadelphians is to remain steadfast
Dr. Franklin wanted our national motto to be "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God” and I would hope and expect Philadelphia would live up to that ideal
Here's a draft for social media alt text: Screenshot of a live news blog. The first entry, by Congressional reporter Michael Gold, states that the Justice Department withheld and redacted materials in the Epstein files release under attorney-client and deliberative process privileges, despite lawmakers saying they didn't intend to shield this. The second entry, by Legal affairs reporter Alan Feuer, reports that Blanche acknowledged the release won't satisfy public demand but asserted President Trump has pushed for maximum transparency.
Here's an important thing about attorney-client, work-product, deliberative process, and other privileges:
They can be waived by a client who is interested in transparency
500!
Thank you for your service.
Contrast with how standard officer-involved shootings are handled is striking
I work on a lot of state OIS in my law practice
Identity of officers and any bodycam footage is often public before I even get a chance to meet with the officers, in fact, I usually just pull the videos from news sites
Respect for @danwetzel.bsky.social, but disagree with his take
Minimizing cheating as "run-ins with the rulebook" fails to take into account what all prosecutors know: "criminals commit crimes" - fact he only got caught once doesn't mean a lot more did not happen

So sorry if I said something suggesting ignorance, that was not the intent
I did read the article (liked the Trading Places reference)
I would have hoped you would have read the reply as more of a humorous comment on the “throwing snowballs at Santa” culture of Philadelphia than “mansplaining”
The word “terrified” is usually not used to describe the good people of Philadelphia
“Belligerent” and “steadfast” better fit my experience in the City
Meh… just need to have a mind of winter
Until you hear the phrase “exposed flesh warning” you will be fine
Lisa Simpson sits at a table with a shocked expression, set against a purple wall and orange chairs. Overlaid white, bold, capitalized text reads: “I CAN'T BELIEVE A CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER WOULD GET SO MANY VOTES AND CONVICTED CHEATER WOULD GET SO FEW.”
Shocking
The answer — as always — is a strong constitution that protects individual rights combined with an independent judiciary that will act as a check on legislative and executive overreach
Problem now — and I am hardly first to make this observation — is that SCOTUS has abandoned role in this system
Also: they have absolute certainty that if Democrats regain power, there will be no significant effort to pursue criminal or civil investigations of their conduct because of dems’ commitment to “norms” and “looking forward”
Bonus: they know that SCOTUS will broadly interpret immunity doctrines, too
