God-tier NYT correction: Correction (left), original (right) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/n...

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

Even the physical therapists in Nebraska with their innovative tools are going to be flummoxed

Belle Burden’s “Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage” tells the story of her divorce and resulting financial imperilment. A review of court documents complicates her narrative. www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

Lawyers and law profs of Bluesky! The Berkeley Law Legal Research, Writing & Analysis program is hiring! 2 new profs will join a group of 10 faculty for an August start. We take our work and students seriously and have more fun than anyone else in the school. aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05371

Chad was thoughtful enough to ask if writing this was okay. These are dangerous times. I appreciated that. Sharing not to flatter myself but because the post includes a nice little summary of recent data on gender and AI adoption/sentiment.

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

US universities genuinely are like “welcome to Tennessee Agricultural College in Bumfuck Nowheresville. We invented the modern potato and our facilities include a particle accelerator, nuclear reactor, and TOP500 supercomputer. Tuition is $12,000 for instate students and we have 40,000 of them”

Key to understanding where we are today

I’m generally anti booing graduation speakers but happily make an exception here

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Just out here sitting pretty grading physical papers with a pencil! (I did have to print them off Canvas a few weeks ago, though.)

These profiles and photos of garment workers and union leaders are amazing!

Who the hell is Some Worry, the fretful conservative voice who shows up in NYT headlines all the time?

My neighbor and I text each other when there’s a particularly beautiful moonrise — nice to share these things!

the u.s. is shooting itself in the foot with a tactical nuke american universities are *so* good and it's a virtuous cycle: smart and ambitious people attend, elevating the whole enterprise. if we alienate the world, it becomes a vicious cycle headed in the opposite direction

I used to be good at Computer. Now Computer thinks it is good at me. But it actually isn’t??????

Terrific profile of Laurie Metcalf

Valkyries are back, baby!

They ain’t got nothing like this in Boy NBA

this headline is such a great example of “racecraft.” musk isn’t passively posting about “race,” he is actively writing psychotically racist agitprop www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Every time Matt Damon takes on a period role he ends up looking like a third baseman for the Phillies.

I don't think enough people know how important Sicario has become in the Dumb Violent Guy canon, this is their version of women who wanted to do Eat Pray Love

WOW: Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak have the memos that describe the origins of SCOTUS shadow docket - the 2016 order halting Obama’s Clean Power Plan @jodikantor.bsky.social @adamliptak.bsky.social @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Lot's wife

"Eric Swalwell" sounds like what Jerry Falwell would call himself to try to get past a security guard

I subscribed!

Hungarians deserve every congratulations for giving Peter Magyar a bigger margin than Orban has ever gotten in all of his rigged elections - and this within the system that Orban rigged. Magyar now has a constitutional majority to undo Orban's constitutional prison and govern as a democratic leader.

This account is a dachshund account

Go ahead, be a tortured genius, but also, shut the fuck up

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Absolutely Philly as the site of American Nuremberg trials, for reasons historical (the founding!) and contemporary (have you seen Broad Street after a win??)

books: the rectangle that can’t send you push notifications. Try: books.

There are so many good books coming out today and so few media outlets cover them in the first place, so I will be furious if they’re all preempted by nuclear war.

"we need kids to get an early start operating machines that are routinely wrong and may try to coax them into suicide and/or psychosis" is a fun education perspective i disagree with actually

Persuasive writing students: this is the way

You wrote a novel using AI? Cool. It's like that time I ran a marathon using a Ford Focus.

Most of the obvious ones already there, but I do think about this one whenever I see a bee

forgot the most important of the genre

The gasp of “this is obvious!” here isn’t about the answer to the question being yes, but rather that Sauer should have anticipated this question from Justice Gorsuch

I am teaching 1Ls oral argument skills this very week and the idea that you wouldn’t have mooted this incredibly obvious question coming from the Justice who was ABSOLUTELY going to ask it. Just. My god.

Imagine shitcanning your career with AI use just to avoid writing a book review.

I'm still waking up, but: Does he forcefully, manlily slam the salad container shut before he shakes it, or is it just greens and chicken and dressing all over the fucking place?

my friend and his fam were driving back from SF to Portland today and said the protest in Medford OR was so long it stretched on for miles, and it made me think a lot about the people who gathered today in groups both large and small in communities where there’s still a high social cost to doing it

everyone wants a shortcut. you know what makes you a better writer? writing.

One person in this photo deserves a 20% WNBA revenue share and it’s not me. Congratulations to the WNBPA on their historic labor agreement.

This is what a vampire looking at a classroom would say.
