A winter riverside scene with bare trees framing a partly frozen river, sunlight shining through the branches, and snow covering the banks under a clear blue sky.
FWIW, here’s the reference photo.
A hand holds up a small sketchbook showing a winter landscape drawing—bare trees, snow, and a winding stream—aligned with the real snowy park scene behind it, matching the trees and river in the distance.
The rising temperatures have thawed my sketchbook. Last night’s sketch atop this morning’s walk.

😴 ☕ Happy Sleep Deprivation Monday to all who celebrate!
Premised on the belief that no one gets a full night's sleep after changing the clocks, social scientists use this natural experiment to test the effects of sleep deprivation. ;)
See 🧵 for some examples. 👇
A breakfast plate with roasted potatoes seasoned with herbs, scrambled eggs topped with shredded cheese, toast with jam, and three small oranges, beside a mug of Earl Grey tea. A newspaper, extra oranges, and a waffle with eggs sit on the table in the background.
Bare tree branches in dark silhouette spread across the frame against a vivid sunset sky, with layers of orange, pink, and blue fading into evening.
Today was a good day: breakfast, the Sunday paper, a walk with the fam, some time with a novel, a movie, and this sunset.
I'm still reeling over a divorce hypo I saw this week where the party names where Fitzwilliam & Elizabeth Darcy. I can't explain the amount of discomfort this caused me. I was like, "Noooooo!" the closest analog is what the new films did to Han and Leia. The proper ending is "happily ever after."
Remedies. Equitable remedies. Darn auto correct while standing in the line at the store.
You could also try trust law, might get you access to equitable reminders. See e.g., spot.suffolklitlab.org/trusts/
Just finished There Is No Antimemetics Division, and I think this is my favorite line, edited to be spoiler free, "[redacted] universes which embed ours as fiction—" If you know, you know.

It's at least worth an interesting discussion of AI work slop and the burden shifting that occurs when you produce BS that requires someone else to sift through all of your "work product."
Looks like I have a new case for next year's AI & the Law class.
Evey once in a while I remember Holmes fought the Klan.
When shaping your research agenda, your objective is to find the weirdest niche possible that still has the potential to change everything.

So @davidcrespo.bsky.social made me blog: lu.is/2026/03/on-m...
TLDR: generalist LLMs are not lawyers, and evaluating them that way is a waste of time. Evaluating LLMs with useful specialized prompts (and eventually, with specialized legal harnesses) is where the work must happen.
**harnesses** link is malformed "www.philschmid.de/agent-harness-2026" I mean, I was able to add "https://" myself, but I thought you'd like to know.
And here's a nice summary of where we're at, along with some analysis. This is s solid post. h/t @frankpasquale.bsky.social
that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it

Yes! I will go to my deathbed trying to get people to stop conflating nonjusticiable with legal.
There is no path back to "normal" that doesn't go through impeachment & conviction. "To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime..." At least that’s what we said when we hanged the Nazis. See avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/09-30-46...
Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it's now, when the Commander in Chief readily admits that he is choosing to put our troops' lives at risk without a legitimate imminent threat to our homeland or our citizens."
