Every system that was regulated, either explicitly or implicitly, by the fact that they were effortful for humans (letters of recommendation, government filings, essays, or, as this paper finds, lawsuits) will break under a wave of AI.

I always thought the question, "Is the Pope Catholic?" was rhetorical and tautological, not a question for debate.
Game Changer is the best thing I have watched, for its brilliance, for its joy, and for its humanity.
I would like to thank / blame Davis Schneider for returning "Pink Pony Club" to my head.
I’m already tired of the commercials on SportsNet.

The image depicts a vintage scene inside a circus tent, featuring several individuals dressed in colorful, theatrical costumes. A central figure, a clown with a white face, red nose, and green-and-pink ruffled outfit, stands holding a small mirror. Surrounding the clown are other performers, including a man in a maroon outfit adjusting his appearance, another clown in a blue-and-red costume, and a person in a top hat and formal attire. In the foreground, a performer in a yellow-and-red outfit is working with a large black cloth or costume piece. The background shows additional circus performers and props, including hanging costumes and a lively, crowded atmosphere. The overall style suggests an old illustration, possibly from a 19th-century circus or theatrical setting.

By the next day, several firefighters were beaten and the circus was burned to the ground.
This is the story of Toronto's Firemen And Clown Brothel Riot.

I made out like a bandit with @seanbawden.bsky.social's #LawSummerSanta2025.
A dozen decadent cookies, Oreo cheesecake, and Biscoff cheesecake from Felicity.
Thank you, Felicity and Sean!

An absolutely massive #LawSummerSanta2025 haul from a very generous @onealb.bsky.social! Such great variety including the large format bottles. Great to discover a new local brewery as well. Once again, @seanbawden.bsky.social, another successful year. Looking forward to seeing other exchanges!
