"[T]he United States attorney..is Halligan, at least according to the Justice Department. But, of course, Judge Currie, in this very case, just declared that Halligan was not lawfully the U.S. attorney.

So I, needless to say, have a few questions," writes @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org.
The Situation: Who is the “Responsible United States Attorney” in Virginia?
Such an official must exist, because the Justice Manual says her approval is required to keep indicting Letitia James.

Remember when people who suggested that Charlie Kirk's ideology & actions had consequences (that resulted in his murder) were hounded out of their jobs for it?
Murder is never okay in my book, mind you. But that such a double-standard for "free speech" exists in the United States is horrifying.
This is vile.

So, according to the Republican Administration, whose head posted that Rob Reiner was murdered as a consequence of his (alleged) political beliefs, it's NOT okay to say that someone Repubican-aligned who is murdered was murdered as a consequence of his statements, but it IS okay otherwise. So noted.

"Metacognitive processes are necessary to comply with Rule 11" is a phrase I expect litigators to start using as a diss on opposing counsel immediately

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

Sigh. Don't worry, the Supreme Court will stay the decision in response to an emergency filing from the Republican Administration. : /

Cystybits (more like whole cysts, like the picture from the loading screen) from #TheOuterWorlds2 (using Babish's Master Fried Chicken recipe). They turned out just fine and thank goodness, because the Boarst Rockets were a disaster.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I've going onto (checks) day 1382 of my current streak, using the free version. I steadfastly refuse all offers to try out premium subscriptions and I skip all of the direct AI stuff (e.g., "phone call with (character)"). (1/2)
I’ve had Duolingo for years. The day they announced they were moving to largely AI-generated content, I canceled my subscription. I don’t think I’m the only one.
Duolingo posted solid Q3 numbers; DAU +36%, paid subscribers +34%, and revenue +41% year over year.

However it forecasted bookings between $329.5M and $335.5M for Q4, below Wall Street estimates of $343.6M.

The company said it wants to prioritize user growth over revenue. Wall Street said “nah”.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.
