It is deeply entertaining that the photos from the White House today show an enthralled fanboy Trump and Mamdani smirking a nearly audible “Get a load of this schmuck.”

@kathryntewson.bsky.social Unsure how best to ask, do you know of reviews of AI legal software that aren’t hype pieces? Work’s testing a contract review one w/ a gpt base & want to go armed w/ criticisms, but 3rd party/AI-skeptic reviews seem impossible to find.
Thank you & thank you for all you do!

Made “chocolate cake” chia seed pudding with low expectations. Figured I’d probably hate it, with a small chance of loving it.
It is somehow firmly in the “meh, it’s fine I guess.”

Two of the 5 don’t use it at all, that I’ve ever seen. Two use it normally. One stances on it like she doesn’t trust it all but does technically use it in the most bizarre way possible. Lightweight clay litter I’ve found is best. I wish sawdust worked better in it.
Still worth it.

Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.
The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

I get that it’s a CLE and if it was too short I wouldn’t get my hours.
But a CLE on ChatGPT and attorney ethics should be someone saying “just fucking don’t” and then staring at the camera saying “seriously, no” every five minutes for the following hour.

Related, because I've been sitting on this for years, but if you're a Good Omens writer please know that Chateauneuf-du-Pape is not a particular wine but instead a wine region located in the south of France. They're particularly noted for red wines but CdP can also be white. CdP is especially noted-

Apparently at a certain stage of hunger I go from “snack aisle” hungry to “eat a fruit” hungry.
Went to Costco and walked out with apples, bananas, plums, and grapes.
(and a bag of mini Dubai chocolate bars but let’s look past that.)

We have finally arrived at the “it feels normal” phase, time to implement the “strengthen and rehabilitate without screwing it all up and having to start over” phase…
I’m going to be very annoyed if the solution to my inflamed heel/achilles is just wearing shoes around the house and not overextending it at the gym.
What do you *mean* rest actually works? Have you met me?

Both are equally likely and any lotion or cream will only make it even worse….
