I was just reminded of False Claims Act. As a spunky young librarian I thought there might be something there w/r/t big publishers and their billing practices for gov't libraries. (I was delightful.) Anyway, something something AI products that gov't buying something.

AALL 2026: An Aloha Keynote For Lasting Impact, Not Glitz https://abovethelaw.com/2026/07/aall-2026-an-aloha-keynote-for-lasting-impact-not-glitz/

#aall peeps - is TR launching their CoCo campaign at AALL? See LI post for deets www.linkedin.com/posts/cocoun...

SSRN “drowning” in 500 manually submitted papers a day. Law school submitter accounts are providing the kind of quality content that SSRN wants to post. #aall26

We *all* should be aggressively preaching disaster prep and climate proofing in our communities right now, not just individually but collectively. You put on your own oxygen mask first, and that's where right wing prepperism usually ends.

I would suspect that Maher is on some oligarch's payroll but he actually just sucks that bad

The past two nights I've woken up in middle of night thinking it was 11:30 am so if anything big happens in the next few days at 11:30 am, I am psychic.

I am a pie connoisseur and have Kentucky connections, but this Jeff Davis pie is a new one to me. Might have to try it (and refer to it as Traitor Pie). Feels like more of a Fall Pie, though.

PSA: The very nice Jus Mundi rep has lots of stuff at #aall26 and they missed the first two exhibit hall days due to flight problems; help clean them out & learn about international arbitration research

LMAO

Made a sequel to The Purge, Boss. Real sexy, just like you wanted…

I’m genuinely enjoying how The Odyssey is introducing a new generation of people to classical epics and mythology. Get in losers, we’re canceling Zeus.

and I'm sure this is just confined to ICE and we shouldn't deeply examine the beliefs of any other law enforcement or military...

THE CHARIOT. Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality.

Did you know you can double your zuchini bread recipe and bake it in a 9x13? It’s true. Who’s goimg to stop you? No one, that‘s who. In other news, I discovered a bunch of hiding, out of control zucchini this morning.

Do I need a 20ft tall inflatable pumpkin stack and if you say no, why are you dead inside?

If I can be Hoosier on Main for a second, there something magical about the first sweet corn of the year.

I moved to chicagoland in 2010. I kept seeing “W” flags and stickers on cars and was worried that they were people still hyping George W Bush and was like 😯. But then I realized they were for the Cubs and felt silly because what kind of freak flies a flag for politician esp after left office?? 🙃🥴😭

Hello fellow tax profs at state schools! I am very happy to report that free tax Code and Reg books generated by www.lawskypracticeproblems.org/codeandregs now comply with PDF/UA-1 accessibility. I've tested a bunch of generated PDFs with veraPDF--all passed with zero errors.

“How did you become a libertarian?” Well I turned off empathy and any instinct that allowed humanity to exist in social groups and stopped giving a fuck about how my actions affected others, especially if it caused me to not prioritize me, and really the pieces all just fell into place after that.

I know there's a lot of hate for writing with LLMs but as someone with a VERY STRONG writing voice, when I have to write something with shared authorship or otherwise when I can't sound like an asshole, it helps to smooth me out.

Delaware. It knows what it did.

i've said it before and i'll say it again - when the bill comes due for how much we've allowed gambling to infiltrate life, it's going to make oxy look like child's play

the sugar is hitting my blood stream and now I'm like GODDAMMIT I SHOULD HAVE ALSO ASKED FOR TEA COOKIES

My sister and Dad returned from Ohio yesterday. My sister brought me back a cheese kettle doughnut from Buskens Bakery. IYKYK. I don't really eat simple carbs anymore so I am pretty much expecting to be peeled off the ceiling in about 20 minutes.

Broke some news tonight that the 30 year old federal court, the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, got its first case ever and created a hastily made website. www.courtwatch.news/p/alien-terr...

My sister scanned my parents wedding album and posted on FB. Ive looked at those photos 100s of times but today was the first time I noticed in one of the group pictures that my grandpa had a cigarette in his hand. It didn’t appear to be lit, sooooo….. The 60s!

Now that you mention it, you know what doesnt have any dangerous vegetables in it whatsoever? THE MOTHERFUCKING CHILLITO. Bring that bad boy back!!!!

I tell you what, if I could keep a thought in my head for more than 20 seconds, I'd be dangerous. (Maybe we can get business leaders to care about environmental protections when they start to see productivity losses due to people trying to work in heavily polluted air)

I almost feel that reforming and repairing the US Law Review system is as imperative as fixing the courts.

annnnnnd now there's a post on FB from county health dept that mosquitos here are testing positive for West Nile.

Executive function? In this environmental disaster? In this parasitic out break? In this economy? I don’t think so!

I’m watching old Unsolved Mysteries. Its a segment on The Bible Code and Robert Stack said “…and the worst terror attack on US soil, the Oklahoma City bombing…” and I was like

I’m sure anyone signing up to work for ICE is a walking red flag anyway, but based on Hegseths thing yesterday do we also think they’re getting juiced up on government T as well?

me every time I answer an email

You know that "I don't support all women because some of you bitches is dumb" tweet? If I see one more NYT voter opinion piece with completely non-nonsensical pull quotes, that's going to be me with representative democracy.

i can do all the calendar ticklers and asana notifications until the cows come home but nothing is going to get my ass to remember and finish a task like a post-it stuck to my monitor.

Well that explains why I’ve felt terrible I guess…

Just to add to the discourse of the day - British Steel has about 7k employees overall - roughly the same size as the University of Southampton (if the UoS had an electric arc furnance). The Scunthorpe works employs 2700 - pretty much the University of Brighton.

I subscribed to the labeler that shows how many times a person posts/replies in a day and man...some of you are POASTERS.

wearing an N-95 in my house because of wildfire smoke take me to the timeline where Al Gore won in 2000...

hello, it is I, the one person on Bluesky not watching Soccer

I honestly thought this was a nice historic marker at first glance. Rose Winslow wasn’t force fed in prison so you could bet on dumb shit.

I thought this was a joke but no, the Secretary of Mid-Life Crises really is promoting this idea. Probably waiting until after the midterms to mandate that the warfighters expose their taints to the sunshine or whatever.

The boring lawyer who wants to defend the white nationalist administration is named "Todd Blanche"? That's just lazy writing.

Back when I worked in digital transformation of libraries, there was a thing about the Four Horseman of Tech - Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google - that were setting patron expectations on what a digital experience should be like. I never expected one of them to enter legal so directly.

I want our entire culture to internalize this. Both for how we understand our own treatment, but also how we understand our treatment of others.
