Watch out SCOTUS, robots can now call balls and strikes. apnews.com/article/robo...

Just keeps happening

I’m trying to find haircut inspo photos on Pinterest and it’s ✨ALL AI✨ It’s not real! This does not help me!

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

At least there’s a new Mark Ruffalo show to watch.

Ok this does have me looking at the speech crackdown in a different light.

New reporting about AI slop in libraries from rockstar reporter @clurrese.bsky.social featuring some rockstar librarians! 🥰 www.404media.co/librarians-a...

It’s honestly a slight problem? But he does read more than me at this point, and his books are more fun to pick out.

I made this Boolean Search Builder to help teach my students how to construct a good search. It's way too much fun to make these little instructional tools. booleanbuilder.replit.app

Do kids today know I Love Lucy? Talk me out of putting this on a slide.

Teaching a legal course this semester where recent immigration events are relevant? Check out the new Immigration Law Syllabus Supplement, curated from Just Security’s archives by @bechamilton.bsky.social and Danae Askar. www.justsecurity.org/120805/immig...

Some thoughts. I’ll keep sharing this powerful expose, which provides a completely accounting of the actions our federal government is taking against cancer research. I’m living it, but reading this article and seeing it from an outsiders perspective is something else www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

You know what else is being affected by the tariffs on parcels worth less than $800? International interlibrary loan. I'm hearing reports of libraries overseas that won't lend to the US anymore. (That's in addition to the libraries here that have shut down their ILL b/c of lost IMLS funding.)

ten Qs are woke now

I’m picking out books for my G&T kid to read, and also doomscrolling

For those who really want to go down the rabbithole, you can buy the book for $12: www.amazon.com/Meme-Wars-Ba...

If, like me, you’ve managed to live in ignorance of the Groyper wars until now, this is a useful primer.

Tell me, is this a universal experience? - See a text/email come in - I want to immediately respond, but don't want to come across as overeager... - yeah, better come back to that one later - promptly forget about the text/email for the next 48-256 hours

Anyone have good examples of statutory research problems that show the value of indexes and more traditional legal research methods? I'm honestly struggling, because AI (maybe due semantic search and perhaps even training on indexes) is just very good at finding an on-point statute.

Fantastic new resource for librarians! 📚 And announcing free .edu memberships (works for faculty, librarians, students, anyone with a .edu address). My favorite thing is realtime RECAP search alerts (I have one set up for Mata v. Avianca, I know when there are new hallucination allegations anywhere)

Making legal research stickers for my students, and taking the opportunity to correct a pet peeve slogan (especially as applied to AI).

TIL that Moms for America, Moms for Liberty, and Parents Defending Education have signed the White House's pledge to America's youth to invest in AI education, which further clarifies how this AI education initiative is a political project and whose vision of education is being prioritized.

FYI folks, the Big Holidays coming up are: Rosh Hashanah is Mon 22 Sep-24 Sep Yom Kippur is Wed 1 Oct - 2 Oct And also? You don't have to KNOW who's Jewish to not schedule meetings these days. Just do it. (AND DON'T BE ALL "WE HAVE TO MOVE IT BECAUSE [PERSON] IS JEWISH" THAT'S TACKY & GROSS)

If you use Google calendar, there's some built-in calendars you can subscribe to for major religious holidays across religions. I use it all the time when scheduling meetings and events!

One of the top things I miss about SoCal is all the hummingbirds. They were EVERYWHERE. Impeccable fall vibes on this little guy, love this shot.

To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

This whole thread is terribly depressing, but yep this is precisely what I worry the selling point of AI will be (to schools, to government, to companies)

So real

so mad about this

For comparison's sake, here's a column art critic @benadavis.bsky.social wrote just a few weeks ago on the same topic news.artnet.com/art-world/dh...

There are things we can influence, of course. Most of what we can do right now is prepare, especially for participation in collective mobilization against the regime — and here I mean everything from becoming involved in local politics and civil society to learning the tactics of mass protest.

We’re at the part in the Exorcist where the skeptical priest is making sure to check off every “is she possessed” box when the devil is making the drawers open and close

just did all of these steps again, and I'm choosing to reframe it as a "now it's time to *really* get down to business" routine.

So what I'm hearing is that if I want the vaccine I actually can't get it, unless I fall within one of these category. For adults, the vast majority will qualify. For kids, it will be a minority. Which means our little disease vectors will largely be unvaccinated for COVID.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more of these hallucination reports from consultancy firms. Maybe their reports just aren't as public or pored over as legal filings. www.afr.com/companies/pr...

This whole thread. Oof.

I hate when I’m about to use a turn of phrase and then remember it’s a Trumpism. this time it was “they’re not sending their best”, and I had forgotten he was saying that about Mexican immigrants, and I feel so gross that my brain even thought of it.

My hobby when at an event with fancy people is looking at which men are wearing real shoes. (Yes it’s the influence of Menswear Guy). No one under 40 is wearing real shoes with their suits.

K&E has a ***60%*** profit margin?!? This really puts some of the recent law firm capitulation into perspective (and not in a good way) www.law.com/internationa...

I found this discussion really interesting. I also like to be able to vary the "leash length" I give AI tools. That I can't do that in most of the legal tools means I use them pretty rarely. Hoping we'll get more variation in the newer tools. www.geeklawblog.com/2025/08/pabl...

As an academic using legal tech, I always feel a step behind: a tool is hyped, we wait months to get access and dig into flaws/use cases, but by then the buzz has shifted to the next update—promised to fix the flaws of the last.

8yo is now going by a nickname with friends (we’ve never called him a nickname) and asked for a dress shirt and tie to wear to school. He’s not a little kid anymore! 😭

Even on here people will pipe up with "but you have to admit crime is a real problem!" and you absolutely do not, but everyone here is brainwashed into permanent cowardice about it

How long is a typical flight from New York to London? Trying to see something. (IYKYK)
