lfg let's bring back donation of constantine discourse

Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

the librarian of congress is absolutely immune for acts commited in office. the register of copyrights is required to marry the head of the USPTO, and any issue thereof is legally entitled to run the RIAA. federal patents no longer preempt state patent law. monkeys are allowed to own copyrights

As an EFF staffer it was common to get email from people with mental health issues. It was always sad and a reminder of how precious mental health is. I imagine the volume has gone up lately …

So I'm doing a routine managerial task in a SAS platform (e.g. approving a leave or entering a performance rating) and the UI gives me a screen burst of confetti. When did it become okay to gamify serious workaday tasks? It's absurd & infantilizing.

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.

Swimming from San Francisco to Alcatraz: Medium Swimming to Alcatraz without a wetsuit: Hard Swimming to Alcatraz without a wetsuit and without consulting the tide charts: INSANELY Hard Though perhaps I should not assume the coyote didn't review the tide charts. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Holy shit, this thread is incredible.

It was a very dubious-looking, nay, a very dark and dismal night, bitingly cold and cheerless.

Lotta people making fun of the tangerine toddler here, but before you bring up the ICP and say you learned about magnets in elementary school, you 100% need to know special relativity to understand the fundamentals of electromagnetism. Coming from Trump, I would rate this as a rare "mostly true."

Revisiting one of my favorite pieces of writing, Colson Whitehead's "Finally, a Thin President" from November 2008, and wow ...

9th Circuit just made anti-SLAPP laws (like the good ones in California and Nevada) a lot less effective. This is going to lead to a ton of suppressed speech. Stupid and dangerous. Especially now. We need a federal anti-SLAPP law now. And we won't get one. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

Ah so it's not just Larry Ellison and Marc Andreessen, but the Murdochs too? Remember how the Democrats went all in supporting this idea based on a moral panic? Any of them want to admit they fucked up?

Overdressed for my first day at Reddit as I’m giving a talk at the Practicing Law Institute later. Didn’t wear a suit though, so at least I’m only slightly overdressed (and slightly underdressed for my talk).

The linked headline's "unexpected" is ridiculous. Every person who worked in this space (specifically, not legislators) said, correctly, that this would happen. It should be replaced with "predicted" or "standard" or "obvious." This is not an untried policy! See also FOSTA/SESTA.

As someone whose main thought about Eric Adams during his first mayoral campaign was, wow, he is a really, really WEIRD dude, I personally don’t feel let down by him at all. If anything, I feel like he’s exceeded expectations.

I published a blog post on my second last day as a Mozillian 😢. A long-running lawsuit in Germany is considering whether ad blockers violate copyright law -- a bad ruling would undermine user choice and create serious risks for privacy and security. blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/20...

Morning ride up to Mt Davidson with glimpses of Mt Diablo across the Bay through breaks in the fog. One of my favorite things about San Francisco is the city is like a natural gym.

Drop bears are real though. theonion.com/australia-ad...

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

I’ve been strongly criticizing the capitulating law firms, I’m sure as hell not OK with Paramount doing so.

For those enduring the heat wave in the north eastern US you might like to know that it's so cold in San Francisco right now that my central heating just turned on. It's foggy, windy and 55F outside and my house's thermostat is set to 67F. #SummerInSanFrancisco

Warming Hut to Aquatic Park swim (~3 miles). Much less current than expected so much much harder than expected. Took almost twice as long as last year. 🌉🏊‍♂️🌇

It’s almost like there are really good reasons legitimate law enforcement doesn’t normally operate masked and in civvies.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

This place is not a place of honor...no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

If you're heading out to a protest, there are a number of concepts to keep in mind to keep yourself—and your data—safe.

I once met John Cusack when he visited EFF and I successfully resisted the temptation to ask him for two dollars. There should be some kind of award for this. He spent most of the visit happily playing with the office dogs on the patio.

With this news I think it’s safe that I will go down as, by far, the least famous or notable guest to have been on WTF. deadline.com/2025/06/wtf-...

Lol Just this week I did a comically bad job patching a hole in a wall in my house but in my defense my plan is to (hopefully) completely redo that bathroom before too long (and most certainly not do that myself)

Ever wonder how many court opinions have (so far) addressed filings with AI-hallucinated material? According to this page, the tally is... 129 across the globe since mid-2023; of which ~90 are from the US 🤯 www.damiencharlotin.com/hallucinatio... 🤖😵

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Ange making history 🇦🇺🏆

A better bit would have been to change the name to "The Aristocrats" and then, 2 years later, to "HBO The Aristocrats"

I registered and still own malware.horse where I one day plan to put my personal website.

Sun Comes Up in East, Sun Sets in West, Watford Sack Head Coach

Well I for one am glad that all my practice at swimming to shore from Alcatraz is not going to have been for nothing.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Meanwhile in Scotland ...

NOW A third major law firm, WilmerHale, wins a temporary restraining order BLOCKING Trump's executive order targeting it. "The injuries to plaintiff here would be severe and spill over to its clients and the justice system at large." Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Here's the judge's written TRO blocking the targeting of Jenner storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Citing Trump's attack on Jenner's pro bono work for transgender people and immigrants, Judge Bates notes: "Our legal system relies on lawyers who advocate zealously for all clients."

Judge Bates, blocking Trump's order targeting Jenner: "Our legal profession as a whole is watching and wondering whether courtroom activities in the best tradition of lawyering will cause the federal government to turn its unwanted attention to them next."

I don't have the time (or the skillz) but someone should create parody versions of this site for Paul Weiss and Skadden www.jennerfirm.com

In house counsel will remember which law firms were sniveling cowards and which firms were ready to fight both for themselves and the rule of law.
