Great job AI overview - thanks for this cutting-edge info that my favorite college football team did not play yesterday (they did) but will play today (they will not)

"The Cavalier Daily corresponded with former Rector Robert Hardie, whose term ended June 30, regarding the two accounts. He confirmed that he agreed with Ryan’s account. 'I concur fully with President Ryan’s recollection of events,' Hardie said." Welp www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

Ya gotta love a lawyer

Related to this, I have a pending FOIA request with UVA for the retainer agreement and billing records/invoices from McGuireWoods regarding UVA’s interactions with DOJ. It was filed on *July 2* and I still haven’t received a substantive reply. (The deadline is a maximum of 12 working days.)

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ. It's a surreal--and troubling--read. drive.google.com/file/d/1Is6x...

Jim Ryan's letter is not just surreal and troubling; it provides a series of deeply sobering lessons—about the perils facing public universities today; about what it means to "work with" this Department of Justice; & about what leadership does (and doesn't) entail at this especially fraught moment.

Dolly Parton releases “9 to 5” 45 yrs ago today. “I knew what it was like to be a working woman trying to make a decent living, trying to be taken seriously. .. I wanted a song that sounded playful on the surface but spoke to that frustration .. A song about women .. saying, ‘We deserve better.’”

Game 7 is over, concluded after 11 innings - how is this still the “AI Overview”?

Let the record reflect: We’re currently in the 11th inning of game 7 of the 2025 World Series

Every single play is epic … I’ve never seen anything like this.

If the game hits 2am Eastern the score is reset to an hour before and everyone has to repeat exactly what they did to preserve the space time continuum, thems the rules

Look at us. We’re all here, on the 97th most popular social media site, enjoying a live event together.

It’s funny they cut to commercial on “Bad Blood.”

Ominous cue for @anthonymkreis.bsky.social meme about SCOTUS and a thriving (or at least surviving) modern society

Lmao you don't say

My take on the World Series? I support Shohei Ohtani’s role as global ambassador for Oi Ocha. I’m a regular Ito En drinker and I agree with Ohtani’s take: “So much is happening these days. It makes sense to take a break for green tea.”

Friends, it’s time once again to explain why people do interviews with Isaac Chotiner.

Only unvetted AI text would state at the top “in progress law degree” meets qualifications then state at the bottom “minimum law degree plus five years experience” is required

Aaaaarrrggh

By “heavily edited” they mean cut and pasted immediately and reflexively

Did they use ChatGPT for the apology follow up text too?

they take 10 seconds away?!?!

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

I recommend that lawyers and judges *ignore* The Bluebook's new rule on AI and search results. (They don't need to follow it anyway!) "What a mess. Practicing lawyers and judges should *not* use these rules to cite their search processes." wabarnews.org/2025/10/15/w... #AI #LegalWriting #LawSky

Out of context scotus

Meanwhile I just read about @lexblog.bsky.social saving decades of (artisanally human crafted*) legal blogs on Typepad *Okay some of them were just jotted off not really crafted, but lots of cumulative time and care went into that archive

But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I'm gettin' older, too

“A Little Life” would be better if run through AI with prompt “take all the decisions here both plot and stylistic, and do the opposite”

Judge Young—who has been on the bench for as long as I have been alive—calls it the most important case he has ever considered.

I’m old enough to remember when corporations fought tooth and nail all the way to the Supreme Court to make sure the government couldn’t take their money or control how they run their businesses.

Is there any other example in the Bluebook where they explicitly call out an arguably common practice and say do not use x but rather use y? Huge risk in any argument that to explicitly negate an idea is to reinforce it

Getting ready for in-depth Bluebook 22d ed class tomorrow. I knew that (citation modified) made the cut over (cleaned up). But didn’t realize till now the Bluepages affirmatively say do NOT use (cleaned up) and such parentheticals “lack[s] a definite meaning in practice.”

This order is correcting AI, not using it. For context: Westlaw currently shows 190 cases (state and fed) with the same caveat, It‘s unfortunate if some are court errors. Also terrible if **all ** of those are courts having to deal with bad AI citations — cumulative burden wasting everyone’s time

Re-posting this citation query — how do we feel about a sort of global (cleaned up) or functional equivalent? See footnote 1 in SCOTUS brief filed last week in GEO Group v Menocal 🚨inter alia @djsziff.bsky.social @scotusplaces.bsky.social @amtappeals.bsky.social
