Is this better or worse than nothing?

Is this a lot for a side project? It seems like a lot for a side project.

Is this a lot for a side project? It seems like a lot for a side project.

I submitted a pull request to the Claude for Legal skills repo while listening to the Claude for Legal webinar today. Hey #trademarks people, this isn't so hard - chime in! github.com/anthropics/c...

Cope cages, but for submarines 👀

New paper in Nature. The more a government controls its domestic media, the more it dominates AI training data, the more pro-regime outputs we get from AI. By scraping the open web, LLMs are unwittingly laundering state-coordinated narratives into seemingly objective answers.

Finally our news is out. Legal research is changing today. It really is. This stuff is unreal.

I'm convinced every court, firm, and lawyer in the country should use our x-ray tool. It's a Python library now, but we'll make an API and pay to get SOC 2 compliance so y'all can send us your filings. If somebody sponsors this, we'll make it free for courts and pennies otherwise. How about that?

The Dem governor debate was held at Pomona College's Bridges auditorium. I loved my time at Pomona! Chirp! I've been pulled over for driving while Black many times near Bridges. That I did not enjoy. And while I was at Pomona, a friend was killed by cops near there too. I didn't enjoy that either.

haha that’s so crazy (pulling out a giant feather quill and adding your name to a book labeled COLLABORATORS)

“Unpaid labor”, hm is there a pithier single word for that, I wonder

I am honored to share the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Best International Reporting with Dake Kang, Byron Tau, Aniruddha Ghosal and Garance Burke for our reporting revealing how Silicon Valley largely designed and built China's surveillance state and enabled human rights abuses.

There is so much going on in just this signature block.

I wish the United States was conducting a war with a strategy more complex than my seven year old responding to his older brother with "Oh yeah?!? Then I would..." -I'd block your shipping. -Then I'd block *your* shipping. -So what, I'll mine the strait. -Oh yeah?!? Then I would shoot your boats!

I spent half an hour tonight whipping up a pre-filing citation checker. I ran it on the Sullivan & Cromwell brief from this story, and it works. Time to raise the bar, folks.

While I was drinking my morning coffee, I got two legal MCP servers working together: FOLIO to identify which area of law a question is in, and then my own to do hybrid search on a collection of legal materials, scoped to that area. It works. ✨ FOLIO: openlegalstandard.org

Our vision is coming true. Step 1: Make the data. Step 2: A thousand startups bloom. Step 3: Fairer access to the law. This article validates the work we and others have been doing for decades. This is why the legal space is blowing up. (It’s the data.) www.law.com/legaltechnew...

I'm excited to share that we've made a collection of historic Supreme Court Records and Briefs available via @archive.org I've written a blog post where I go into detail about the importance of this collection. blog.archive.org/2026/04/20/u...

not like a great sign generally when "damnatio memoriae" and "lustration" are carving out space on the word cloud but i do like the general spirit of teambuilding and togetherness

tried Photoshop's new upscaler for a map that's getting printed and... it renamed all our streets and parks

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

The Philz statement says “Every Pride flag that is up stays up, and any Pride flag that was previously removed can be put back up.” What about MORE Pride flags? Banned? Philz baristas, here is your new challenge: how many Pride flags can you fit into a Philz? 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Hard to explain how PUMPED I am that we can finally reveal this:

these sorts of fakes also shape expectations of what events should look like, and reinforce the expectation that all events should be reducible to images

Journalists: I would read the heck out of a long piece interviewing OpenClaw-toting LinkedIn engagement farmers and GitHub slop PR submitters. It’s clearly happening. But what is even the point? I genuinely don’t get it. @sarahjeong.bsky.social?

Where are people hosting simple static personal websites these days, that isn’t GitHub Pages?

If anyone is in the Whitehaven area, could you pop over to the Jawas and ask if they have any secondhand droids for sale, thanks.

US Navy ships are not invulnerable. What reasons does Iran have to *not* fire on a ship imposing a blockade of its ports?

[Chuck Schumer scavenging through the post-apocalyptic rubble for scraps of food] He's gone too far. Someone should do something about this

The President just threatened genocide. The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law. Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.
