LLMs are no substitute for legal reasoning and research. But boy can they automate some tasks given a closed sandbox of materials and some direction. “Review this statement of undisputed material facts and find anything contradicting it” is something Harvey can do.
That’s an old Gaupin trick! Most important words either start or end a sentence.
Today’s look is “Southern Dandy”
Oh, whoops. The judge didn’t think it was ja obvious 1A, just that the prosecution didn’t meet BARD.
Clown shoes.
Here’s how shitty the case against Ms. Gamble was: She was arrested wearing an inflatable penis costume and a sign saying “NO DICK-TATORS” in the reddest county in Alabama, and an elected judge tossed it as an obvious 1A violation.

Philosophical concepts mean things. You can’t just claim a war is just and say it’s perfectly fine under Catholic Just War doctrine.
all of our legitimate goals that dipshit tore up because Obama bad. I’m not sure what our win condition is, so have no idea whether there’s a reasonable probability of success. And it doesn’t appear that the good achieved, if any, will outweigh the evil of the war.
The administration’s invocation of Just War theory is ludicrous. This war does not defend against aggression, defend rights, or protect innocents. It was not declared by a legitimate authority. The goal is not a just peace. It was not a last resort—we had a perfectly good treaty that accomplished
Just to be clear, Just War requires jus ad bello, which means:
Just Cause
Legitimate Authority
Right Intent
Last Resort
Reasonable Probability of Success
Proportionality.
It’s possible this one meets two of those criteria, but it utterly fails most.
I’d love to hear which of the categories of Just War “tearing up a treaty then bombing the shit out of them so they don’t do the thing they weren’t doing under the terms of the treaty” falls under.
I feel like the author went a bit far with that last bit.
(Seriously, though, this is one of the dumbest GovCon disputes ever. Every argument the municipality is making against payment is foreclosed by plain statutory language.)
I just wrote the most aggressive demand letter of my career and refrained from ending it “govern yourself accordingly.”
Please clap.
“Mike may not be a full convert. He’d just roll through during meetings saying ‘The Tenth and Ninth Amendments are alive and well! Now gimme some of that hate chicken,’ grab a handful of Chick-fil-A nuggets and leave.”
apparently it’s just a really good nursing school. Which is of some value.
I may laugh until I shut that for all the hooraw from conservatives about excommunicating Biden it’s way more likely JD gets the big “Return to Sender” stamp from the Throne of St. Peter.
Just pointing out that Walzer/Augustinian Just War theory almost never justifies aggressive war. Like blowing a country up for doing the thing they weren’t doing under the treaty you tore up.
So that super-genius kid of mine gets told he needs to clean off the remote he got—something—all over.
So submerged it in soapy water. A SofaBaton XS-1.
There is no possible way at 9 that you clean a piece of electronics by submerging in soapy water. He has an iPad he’s never done that to.
You don’t know he didn’t.
Boomer!
Hell yeah going for the sweep in Austin and #1 tomorrow.
Has Al Franken even complained that what happened was unfair? My recollection (which very well may be faulty and biased) was that he admitted he was wrong and stepped away from public life.
I never knew there was an actual book named “Bladerunner.” I thought they just made the title up because “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” was too cumbersome for a tentpole movie.
Plot sounds interesting.
Sorry, Doctor Turtledove. They don’t give just anyone Ph.Ds in something as Byzantine as, well, Byzantine history.
14 months later I still respect Mr. Turtledove’s decision to not tell me what those changes were while still intensely curious about them.
That’s your answer to everything g.

This is an excellent tip. Another trick is to read each sentence in reverse order.
I’m quite impressed that we spent billions of dollars, got a bunch of servicemen killed along with a bunch of Iranians who were minding their own business, fucked up our own energy costs, and managed to negotiate a deal 10x worse than the one we’d had but threw away.
I was 10 in 84 and got to see Walter Mondale get wiped out by someone I genuinely thought was going to trigger a nuclear war.
