To spite the people who’ve made everything bad.

it goes on b/c you put a 22-year-old in charge of counterterrorism, moved all your counterterrorism agents to arresting legal immigrants, and told liberal synagogues like the one that was attacked they no longer qualify for security grants, while saying any jew who doesn't support this is a traitor

At least, people who think they’re insulated from the material consequences of politics

The case of temporary visitors was more complicated at common law. The
parents, if lawfully present, were under the temporary protection of the sovereign.
That is why one judge in a famous case, Lynch v. Clarke, held in 1844 that a child
born of temporary sojourners was a citizen. But the rule was contested because of
increasing international travel and the resulting dual allegiances. Joseph Story
suggested that an exception for temporary visitors would be a β€œreasonable
qualification” to the rule. Henry St. George Tucker in his treatise stated flatly that
temporary visitors fell outside the common-law

I'm afraid I can't just sit here and say nothing when another law professor gives false testimony to Congress about the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Ilan Wurman has given false testimony to Congress, being fully on notice of the falsity. I do not think this is fairly debatable. 1.

Gotta mix it up. Throw a little Jimmy Eat World in there

Is Aaron Judge the least clutch hitter of all time?

It's all three, but there's also something else: weak, atrophied brains.

Typos are one thing but elite messages go beyond that, they show an inability to communicate beyond mere urges and feelings, and the reason they can't communicate beyond those is because they can't think through those.

I believe the serious answer to that is the greatest naval boondoggle in this nation’s glorious history of boondoggles

They just haven’t been triangulating the optimum amount yet

Much of the time it’s functionally a distinction without a difference, but it matters when political winds shift (or, more accurately, when they perceive the political winds shifting)

This describes most of his type of Dem. They don’t actively hate trans people and minorities, they just don’t really give a shit about anyone who they don’t think can help their careers.

It also doesn't necessarily mean they're going to feel like they CAN work less, but there's a lot involved there.

I'm sympathetic to some of the luddite-leaning arguments, but the less informed version of them feels too similar to retvrn chuds longing for 1990s Pizza Hut commercials.

It can’t just replace the lawyer. And any law firms that think it can are going to find themselves fucking a lot of things up.

I’m a transactions lawyer and it’s pretty useful for generating contract language to address concerns I can abstractly conceptualize and prompt faster than I can draft specific language (and make necessary accompanying revisions) myself. But that usefulness builds on my education and experience

It seems to me that LLMs specifically can be a very useful tool to people who know how to use them well, but that they’re very unlikely to actually replace whole career fields like some people think.

It probably realized it was driving to the north Houston suburbs and decided it’d rather die

They're just conservatives who are pretending to themselves that they're not the same as their parents

Ok but we should also arrest Andreesen and publicly humiliate him.

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

Are you ever going to come back to correct this erroneous post? Surely it was an honest mistake, right?

"he's just stupid! i find this plausible because i am also stupid!" is objectively a weird angle people keep trying to take on this. if you've studied WW2 for years you know what it is. if you watch an hour of the history channel falling asleep on the couch every day you know what it is
