“School officials have created a Microsoft Copilot prompt to review course descriptions with an eye toward avoiding ‘advocacy-oriented or prescriptive terms.’”

Terms: “dismantling, decolonizing, interrogating, challenging, centering, combating, liberation, resistance, activism, justice oriented”

This makes even more sense if you consider that giving folks permanent positions on the same court enables planning and strategy, the ability to plan and strategize is require for ideological movements - and all that is doing politics, not law.

Fix the Court, no amendment needed: Every circuit judge is now also a SCOTUS justice, and all current justices assigned to a circuit. SCOTUS cases heard by panels of 13, one judge from each circuit, selected randomly. Cert granted or denied by different random panels of 13.

Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

The overlap between Trump’s view of M&A (if it’s big, he will extract his pound of flesh using his veto power) and Silicon Valley’s (using dual-class shareholding to extract permissive legislative changes and board consent) cannot be an accident

And I believe that some companies (cough Musk cough cough) are purposely trying to do exactly the latter in order to shore up their control.

this was a FAB panel at the recent ECGI conf (link below) The panelists discuss how Silicon Valley dual class s'holding turns both companies and legislatures into hostage situations - and explain how vulnerable Delaware is should corporate law politics start mapping onto nat'l culture war politics.

Beau are you telling me that SCOTUS is likewise full of unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats that are even harder to fire than the head of the CFPB (RIP)??

I love the part where agencies only exist because congress is lazy and not because they are a thoughtful and deliberate institutional response to pressing public problems and power private actors

This new documentary about single working class men in China is compelling. But it attributes their hardship to the shortage of men, explained only as: "[China's] one-child policy left it with over 30 million more men than women." A one-child policy by itself does not affect the sex ratio...

A decade after the one-child policy officially ended, China has over 30 million more men than women.
These so-called surplus men compete for fewer women - and fewer opportunities for marriage and love.

Microsoft was given primo real estate in one of our newest, fanciest buildings to develop a bespoke “study buddy” chatbot and provide “free” instruction on how to develop and use their products. And even gave undergraduates (paid) internships.

They’re thirsty and it is working.

I have a bad feeling about these university “partnerships” with AI companies who are, at this very moment, developing study-tutoring-chatbots just as schools move more classes online in the face of the demographic cliff.

It’s just a theocracy that operates behind the scenes. We may begin to interpret (abstract) law not in terms of “we the people,” or “ordinary public meaning,” but with religious precepts in mind. Just like neoclassical economics disfigured corporate law.

Kate Jackson @katejackson.bsky.social · 1d

In any event, the argument is that accepting religious reasons as legal justification is a kind of theocracy, or opens the door to one.

Kate Jackson @katejackson.bsky.social · 1d

And democratic consensus itself is already pretty tenuous. Who amongst us doesn’t think, in their heart of hearts, that the “right” political choice is the one we believe in, not the one that’s popular.

Kate Jackson @katejackson.bsky.social · 1d

You should see what folks did to habermas when he suggested that religious argument ought to be incorporated into democratic deliberation…. The tldr is that political philosophers fear “because god said so” will displace “democratic consensus” as the basis of legitimacy.
