We spent decades sending kids the message they are completely on their own if attacked. The police will cower in puddles of their own cowardice; the politicians will wring their hands over how the gun industry might be affected after a slaughter, 1/2

as always, the proper stance when trump and the goons sue is “fuck you, make me”
UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off.
Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering.
Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

Ok, so for clarity - the issue here was use by the client, not use by the attorneys.
Hi attorneys! Want to not be able to get to sleep tonight? Here's Judge Rakoff (probably the single most well-respected judge in SDNY) saying that the use of AI destroys both attorney-client privilege and work-product privilege.

At around the 1:10 mark, he lets the mask slip, as it were, by suggesting that the freakout about the Super Bowl halftime show was rooted in some sort of legit angst about the erasure of white identity.
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
