London's thieves are burying phones in flowerbeds The police don't take much interest in returning the stolen devices when they're dug up — so London Centric decided to do it.

www.londoncentric.media/p/london-pho... would be good for them to credit @jim.londoncentric.media

It's weird how nobody ever talks about the fact that we all hear incredibly loud discordant high-tempo circus music in our heads at all times

In America? They’re closer to being an EMI in UK/Europe surely?

Here’s George Carlin on rights, a really poignant stand up.

We don’t have rights in America. We have privileges.

They’re being taken from us right now and most Americans don’t give a shit. It’s time to stand up for our privileges, together, because if we don’t stand up now, they’ll disappear.

Hold on, conclave is when you’re voting a pope in, and convlex is when you’re voting a pope out.

Donate to Duvet Know It's Christmas, 2024, organized by Rhodri Marsden Unbelievably, it's the 14th year of this thing. What is it? Improbably, the nig… Rhodri Marsden needs your support for Duvet Know It's Christmas, 2024

6/ Incredibly, over the last few years around £200,000 has been raised for homeless charities as a result of this thing. So, this year, if you're enjoying the pix, you could fling a few quid to Centrepoint via this link: gofund.me/637d21d0

Westlaw at least of those has its own AI, not tried it yet, but presumably just improves the search function beyond the current one, and maybe suggests specific responses to questions? I feel like the future is a combination, but AI will definitely make life easier

A Hackney Story The real-life story that inspired Top Boy.

A Hackney Story - Great article here in The Fence from @maxdaly.bsky.social it says so much about divisions within London culture; not just the ‘Murder Mile’ tag, but how easily we can ignore what’s happening just over the road

Toying with the first inklings of an idea to establish a charitable fund to pay for traineeships for people to qualify as housing solicitors. Heaven knows, they are needed. I will research this...

One of my favourite things about Bluesky is the starter packs. Here's one I made to even up a bit of the gender disparity I noticed on some of the starter packs on here. There's a ton of space left in it, so let me know of anyone else I should include go.bsky.app/2rubRr3

I’ll always use copilot for teams calls - shoots out notes of the call, and action points for specific people on the call. Then also use for summarising, putting info into table formats, taking responses out of tables and into prose, seeding emails. No real legal work, just admin basically.

Looks like it depends where you are. The survey says lawyers in the public sector (14%) or the Bar (20%) were much less likely to be “researching or exploring opportunities with generative AI’” than those at large law firms (64%). I’m at a large firm and there’s definitely increasing interest
