I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

T. Elliot Gaiser, the head of OLC, is quickly building up a track record to qualify as one of the true villains of this era. Today, Acting AG Todd Blanche is using OLC to team up with the FCC's Brendan Carr to make it harder for some immigrants to have phones and internet access.

I have once again been mooted

This is a dumb petty point, but “Great American State Fair” makes no sense. What is state doing there

The PBS shows of my youth feel like a fever dream. Like what was Big Comfy Couch? What the fuck was that

This is an actual Thirteenth Amendment violation, because they have not been convicted of any crime.

They just . . . Announced performers without actually booking them.

These people are captives of a concentration camp fighting back against their heavily armed captors with only their bodies. Their heroism is extraordinary. Thank you to all of the protesters standing with and for them.

lastly, contrary to what a lot of blueskiers seem to be posting, the idea of trademark having a duty to police is dramatically overblown. patagonia letting pattie be does not meaningfully undermine the strength of its marks or its ability to enforce its marks against others.

i think the likelihood of confusion is low because the marks are different, the stylization is different, & "patagonia" is itself a geographic region, not a fanciful term that the brand invented. nothing about the merch shown in the complaint leads me to expect confused consumers.

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

CALL YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS AND TELL THEM TO GET TO DELANEY HALL NOW: (202) 224-3121

@maketheroadnj.bsky.social just sent out an SOS, calling on members of Congress in NJ and neighboring states to immediately go to Delaney Hall "and leverage all their power to end retaliation and free all detainees." Guards are going to kill someone if no one intervenes and shuts it down.

NEW: Supreme Court, on another 5-4 vote, tosses out another death sentence. On Thursday, Justice Kavanaugh wrote his second majority opinion for the court upholding protections against racial discrimination in jury selection. Today, at Law Dork:

This would be enjoined in about 38 seconds, but it would be lowkey funny to watch them try.

All of it is just people starving

Not really sure what they want from me here.

In light of the 3 decisions today, please, I'm dying to hear more about how Neil Gorsuch is great for criminal defendants!!!

"All the good lawyers" are in Biglaw, huh?

Gracie Abrams presale on the exact date and time of my oral argument is a sick joke

If you’re not familiar with this case, Pitchford did not kill anyone. The actual killer got 20 years. Pitchford got the death sentence.

WHOA

BREAKING: In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court tosses out Terry Pitchford's death sentence, ruling that the Mississippi Supreme Court improperly held that Pitchford had waived his Batson claim — of racial discrimination in jury selection — in his capital case. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

I propose the sweeping reform that he resign and sweep away everyone else involved in this with him

The only one abusing anything here is Prof. Wurman's violence against the history of the common law. You can't publish in the NY Times, testify to the United States Senate, submit a brief to the United States Supreme Court, have the federal government mention you to the justices, and cry smol bean.

I really wish that we had this much discussion of the presumption of good faith when we were talking about the extremely well-researched and historically grounded work of Black scholars.

For people saying that the three-judge panel here "ignored" SCOTUS or the like, that's just not so. The Callais ruling was about whether discriminatory effects were sufficient proof under the VRA; here there was a finding of discriminatory intent (under VRA and the 14th Amendment).

wake up babe the white house is a six flags

Local law prof proudly proclaims: 1) his ideology dictates his legal analysis; and 2) he published his NYT op-ed before doing the scholarly legwork supporting it because it would have taken too much time to do the other way. Wow.

Pope Leo quoting Tolkien in his encyclical on AI seems like a pointed reference for the tech oligarchs who have appropriated LOTR for their own ends.

What’s it called when you get seasonal depression but in the summer? Because I have that.

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

We allowed Israel to genocide a people just on the rumor of rape but first hand accounts by citizens of Canada and its all, "Oh well, we condemn." Canada has operators that provide training for the Iron Dome. Turn it off.

My hot take is that the presumption of regularity is an objectively bananas doctrine and we should do away with it entirely.

Some notes now that I’ve seen the transcript of the hearing, thanks to @lizdye.bsky.social . First: the government dismissed the felony count in an effort to convince the judge not to make them produce full transcripts, knowing they showed serious misconduct.

WHOMST AMONG US has not experienced IT issues which just happen to conceal evidence of misconduct from the court
