This reminds me I had an iPhone once where I would say "Text Carson" and it would respond with "Calling Scott Sorenson" (in my contacts, but was a fellow employee I never called). Me: "Get me home" Siri: "Calling Scott Sorenson" Yet most days would work as expected. Julian went 12 rounds. 👇

NEVER NOT RETWEETABLE

tbqf virtually every time somebody’s like “[x style]/[x pizzeria] pizza will blow your mind, it’s clearly the best,” my reaction upon eating is “This is very good and I definitely enjoyed it! But also settle down?”

I think it's in its second edition at this point, but the book Pizza City USA counts either four or five native-Chicago styles of pizza. (I think he might be one too many.) But deep dish is absolutely not Chicago style. (Tavern style has the best claim, imho.)

quite a day on here, huh?

This could only mean one thing: TOM. BOMBADIL.

After slogging through several thousand pages of founding-era sources, I have come to two principal conclusions: 1. Elbridge Gerry was an insufferable, pompous git who deserves all the disdain attached to his central legacy (ie, Gerrymandering). 2. Patrick Henry would not shut up.

oooh the beginnings of a university faculty wide reply all debacle this is going to be amazing

this is the thread of love for family members with thick accents that you don't register as accents because to you it's just how your person talks, and/but then sometimes you hear it how people in your job circles would hear it, and it's like, oh yeah ok, fair, that's a thick accent—AND BLESSEDLY SO

justice alito talmbout it "seriously undermines" voter confidence when a "big stash" of mail ballots arrives and changes the "apparent outcome" sir do you mean when all the votes are counted? bc it sounds like you're just describing when all the votes are counted

all is uneven, and everything left at six and seven

This is a HUGE deal. One of the most significant cases we've had over the civil service in the last year and could cut very deeply. It's also pretty far from where the Supreme Court currently sits.

Update on litigation over inferior officers: In Jackler v. DOJ and Jaroch v. DOJ, the MSPB has concluded that (1) IJs are inferior officers and (2) Article II allows the Attorney General these officers at will (i.e., the tenure protections are unconstitutional). www.mspb.gov/decisions/pr...

Me walking into your office hours next week to discuss this

ICCULUS, C.J. I begin where all inquiry in Gamehendge must begin: with the Book itself. The Helping Friendly Book is not mere property. It is not a chattel, nor a negotiable instrument, nor a parcel of real estate situated within the territorial jurisdiction of Wilson’s kingdom.

"This Article fills a gap in the thirty-seven-minute riff"

In my case, game over for “legal scholarship trained on thousands of hours of Phish concert bootlegs”

What is AI if not the miracle of kingly grace?

Yeah, I think the more time you spend with these things the more you realize how they can be boosters that fit into your existing ways of doing things (not at all for the prose generation).

I’m counting down the days until I can devote all my time to growing things (esp dahlias).

Passing the torch… feels like there’s no greater imperative at the moment. As Michelle Shocked sang, “the secret to a long life’s knowing when it’s time to go.”

this is shallow and in a rigidly descriptive sense discriminatory, but man oh man I was watching a video of Schumer talking for the first time in a while this week, and good gracious a person that old should not be a genuinely substantive part of the decisional process for a healthy society

If I turn an unsupervised model onto the federal register in R or Python i feel a lot more comfortable about it than if I just fed the same text into ChatGPT and set it loose to come to its own conclusions. But maybe I am fooling myself about the level of agency and control retained

it's a heckuva thing to think through because Current Julian ("i am not going to use AI for any purpose whatsoever in relation to my presidential power book, bc i want to say that i didn't") and Future Julian ("I can't wait to turn loose AI agents on the materials I've ...

gosh i am managing like 16 different IRL ppl needing my support or approval, but i am still thrown for a total loop by the version of social media that says, validate me, celebrate me, affirm my feelings

Journals could do something like limit each author to submitting only one or two articles per cycle. I've heard rumors of people submitting like 6 articles this cycle, which seems impossible without substantial AI input and basically the academic version of pollution.

Just posted over at the other place. Thoughts?

this is so obvious that it shouldn't need saying, and yet quinn is right to be like, ummmm...

I have lots of reactions, but comparing this to how a first-year associate would be used gives away the game. If you used a first-year associate as “a first drafter” of a law review article and didn’t list them as a coauthor, you’d be committing academic fraud.

Somehow we are having a whole big Supreme Court case about one of the relative small number of questions in constitutional law that's amenable to the "gee, I wonder what the answer is, oh I know, I'll get out my pocket Constitution and turn to the page where it says the answer" method

WAIT IS THERE A PROJECT HAIL MARY MOVIE, FIE FIE I TELL YOU FIE!!

dont start none wont be none pretty fed up with babying blueskyism, fair warning

oh man this is very good

Isn’t the analogy Dred Scott himself? He died before 14A was ratified, so neither of his daughters who survived childhood could have inherited citizenship from him. They were only citizens by virtue of their birth in the U.S. (to non-citizens).
