So, the population of NYC is just shy lower compared to the population of the Commonwealth of Virginia . . . .

The fourth episode of season 3 of One Punch Man was, at best, a visual novel level animation, or a rushed PowerPoint presentation.

What a great weather for Halloween in Virginia tonight!

I legitimately wonder, does Windows 10 contain less AI-generated code than Windows 11?

When Google's Gmail app is more reliable than Microsoft's official Outlook app to access an Outlook-based email account . . . .

Looking forward to see how the South Korea and Japan relations develop with Prime Minister Takaichi leading Japan's government with a new coalition.

US (Federal) Judiciary Funding Runs Out; Only Limited Operations to Continue. www.uscourts.gov/data-news/ju...

Japanese politics took several unexpected turns, with Takaichi Sanae winning the LDP presidency and the Komeito leaving its coalition with the LDP. Here's my @carnegieendowment.org piece (that had to course-correct quickly to push out before the long weekend). carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

Please help me get the word out about the new websites for Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon. Reposting here and on other social media sites is great. It would be especially helpful if law school faculty members could send an email to their colleagues with the new addresses.

@judgedillard.bsky.social will be receiving "the Rehnquist Award from Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts, Jr., during an event at the Supreme Court of the United States in November."

New York City is the currently the only city in the world, where South Korean media can persistently ask questions to North Korean government officials.

Wow! Emory will be tuition-free for students whose families earn $200,000 or less. news.emory.edu/features/202...

New: The federal courts may not be able to fully sustain paid operations after October 3 if Congress does not avert a partial government shutdown by passing stopgap spending legislation before October 1, according to a new judiciary memo. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Watching a bunch of ISC2 webinars is my anti-brain rot.

A brag and a request for teaching ideas: I am honored to be this year’s Kelly Professor for Excellence in Teaching. The professorship comes with the duty to present lunchtime sessions to my colleagues on teaching-related themes. What ideas do you have?

Random Fact. Under Rule 2:402(b) of the Virginia Rules of Evidence, the result of a polygraph examination is not admissible in Virginia courts.

Yale's Digital Ethics Center is advertising a new, possibly 4-year, postdoctoral position. We are seeking researchers with expertise in cybersecurity, or cyber conflicts, or the digital economy. Much more information here: dec.yale.edu/join-us...

Being certified/licensed in the Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Law Practice domains means I have to keep up the continuing education requirements for each of them . . . .

I need to catch up on UK politics, but I didn't expect Angela Rayner to resign this year.

I definitely agree that Gundam 08th MS Team is peak Gundam.

RIP Judge Frank Caprio.

A great keyboard can make all the difference for a pleasant work (typing) experience.

Interested in clashes between the judiciary and legislature? How about injudicious judges who publish their correspondence with famous political figures? Boss Tweed connection? Old treatises? Have I got the (short!) draft article for you. Here is the link. Abstract in next post. ⚖️ 🗃️

Wasn't expecting another "Jennifer Lopez Anaconda"

I watched the entire credits of Star Trek: Generations because the soundtrack was absolutely outstanding.

@smmarotta.bsky.social, I recall your prior posts on how non-transparent the process was for applying to US Supreme Court clerkships, but I wanted to share this LinkedIn post that provides clear details on how to apply to Justice Jackson's clerkship position. www.linkedin.com/posts/braunl...

Phew, just completed Persona 5 Royal edition. I have to say, the toughest fight was none of the palace bosses but that other, friendly character.

Just finished Without a Dawn by @jessemakkonen.com . I haven't felt chills from games in a while. What a thoughtfully created story. Quite immersive. Although the game is on the short end, the immense visceral experience is definitely worth it. Highly recommend if you seek quality time.

Instead of running, decided to try high speed walking with a 5% incline on the treadmill for 2 miles. What a workout . . . .

I bought domain names today. Coming up with a good domain name was HARD.

I know Turkey has been hurting with high, sustained inflation, but I was in a shock that the Turkish interest rate is currently 46%! (Which is the right monetary policy, but that is an insane interest rate level)

"Jennifer Lopez Anaconda" is a phrase I didn't expect to hear today.

It might be because of social media or newsletter platforms (being able to reach broadly to a wide audience), but a good number of blogs by law professors have not been updated for years. See blawgsearch.justia.com/blogs/catego...

My next cybersecurity newsletter focuses on the recently passed TAKE IT DOWN Act (federal anti-deepfake legislation) and how this legislation's approach may have some shortcomings in combating non-consensual intimate imagery proliferating on the web. Link: danielshin.net/knowledge-re...

Editing your own writing is meditation.

Looking up other people's websites (academics) to get more ideas on what to add to my professional website.👀 (Personal website forthcoming in a few weeks.)

Shoutout to the development team at @wordpress.org. I am absolutely impressed with "Create Block Theme" plugin, which effectively allows anyone to create their custom template with ease.

Slightly disappointed that Gundam Gquuuuuux was a 12 episode one season show, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The art was quite refreshing, soundtrack was great, and the English voice acting team did a splendid job. 8 out of 10, although I am being generous here.

So, after several months of choice paralysis, I have made up my mind and decided on a platform to finally create my professional website. More updates to follow, hopefully soon!

Also, based on the preview of the next episode, episode 12 is confirmed to be the final episode of #GQux.

Pardon my following reaction to watching episode 11 of Gundam Gquuuuuux, but WHAAAAAAT!? #GQUX

I don't trust the Google Calendar app on the Android ecosystem to reliably sync with Outlook calendars.

Wait, Disney is making park in Abu Dhabi!

Meta launched a stand-alone AI app and now it is full of sensitive content from Facebook users who appear to be unaware that they have made their conversations public: www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerb...

For today's research, I am reading all about postmortem privacy.

Nothing beats the great feeling after a good run on a treadmill. (Well, outdoor runs are better if the temperature is just right 👍)

I am not a Nintendo Switch user, but if you need a near real time Nintendo 2 availability at Best Buy, check out the following website: www.switchsniper.com

Slightly surprising news. Based on the latest data from the IMF, South Korea leads Japan in terms of GDP per capita. www.imf.org/external/dat...

Been waiting for this game before the pandemic and remains the only factor that I didn't purchase a PS5 as of yet. youtu.be/PdDVyBtYrUI
