Hey, so, I don’t do civil litigation, is it generally considered good when the judge does this?

![Case 1:24-CV-09429-KPF Document 227 Filed 02/05/26 Page 2 of 33
Feldman [wals not excused from this professional obligation [of verifying that the cases he submitted to the Court were valid] by dint of using emerging
technology." (Dkt. #169 at 4).
Mr. Feldman persisted. A few days prior to the Court's hearing on the
Order to Show Cause, Mr. Feldman submitted a proposed reply brief in further support of Affable's motion to dismiss. Once again, his brief contained false citations. And at the August 22, 2025 hearing, Mr. Feldman was unable to respond directly to, much less answer, the Court's questioning about his
submissions.
Mr. Feldman has not, and apparently cannot, learn from his mistakes.
And while the Court does not oppose the use of Al to assist in legal research
and writing, it must take a stand where, as here, counsel repeatedly files
submissions with false citations because counsel refuses to verify those
submissions. This Court can do no more. For the reasons that follow, the
Court sanctions Mr. Feldman pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11
and the Court's inherent powers by striking Affable's submissions and entering
default judgment against it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ssxnmhdtz6le6nxu7jfhglz6/bafkreigeefuabd636ruucelhxav3v3p43dezhotggrwlgjgsev2z2ggev4@jpeg)

I have now gone to a dealership and two mechanics to fix a car I bought less than a month ago because it stalls at red lights and randomly dies in the cold. While they all agree that there is a problem, no one can apparently identify what the problem is. Apparently, it drives done but not for me.

I hate that em dashes are seen as a sign of AI writing now. I default to using them a lot, and people seem to get mileage out of pointing them out -- and, to such people, I want to say: I'm sorry that you've never had a flare for the dramatic or so many thoughts you've got to interrupt yourself.

I went to the dealership because my car has a problem my normal mechanic can't figure out. The waiting room is filled with the sound of Jeopardy reruns and hold muzak from one elderly gentleman's phone. I've been here for nearly two hours and my brain is mush.

I like how, whenever I tell my phone to do something, it instead stops to tell me that I should be gambling instead.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

I went vegetarian at the start of this year for what my partner describes as "Dale Gribble reasons" (not trusting the gov't). On Christmas, I'm full of portobello mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, mashed potato, and wine. I feel like I've made good decisions.
