For those enduring the heat wave in the north eastern US you might like to know that it's so cold in San Francisco right now that my central heating just turned on. It's foggy, windy and 55F outside and my house's thermostat is set to 67F. #SummerInSanFrancisco

Warming Hut to Aquatic Park swim (~3 miles). Much less current than expected so much much harder than expected. Took almost twice as long as last year. 🌉🏊‍♂️🌇

It’s almost like there are really good reasons legitimate law enforcement doesn’t normally operate masked and in civvies.

News! CourtListener now lets you keep up with everything that's happening in PACER. Save a query to CourtListener, and we'll tell you when there are new results. RECAP Search Alerts are finally live! Follow people, organizations, topics, and anything else you can imagine. Learn how below: 👇

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

This place is not a place of honor...no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.

If you're heading out to a protest, there are a number of concepts to keep in mind to keep yourself—and your data—safe.

I once met John Cusack when he visited EFF and I successfully resisted the temptation to ask him for two dollars. There should be some kind of award for this. He spent most of the visit happily playing with the office dogs on the patio.

Ah! how cheerfully we consign ourselves to perdition!

With this news I think it’s safe that I will go down as, by far, the least famous or notable guest to have been on WTF. deadline.com/2025/06/wtf-...

Lol Just this week I did a comically bad job patching a hole in a wall in my house but in my defense my plan is to (hopefully) completely redo that bathroom before too long (and most certainly not do that myself)

Ever wonder how many court opinions have (so far) addressed filings with AI-hallucinated material? According to this page, the tally is... 129 across the globe since mid-2023; of which ~90 are from the US 🤯 www.damiencharlotin.com/hallucinatio... 🤖😵

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

A better bit would have been to change the name to "The Aristocrats" and then, 2 years later, to "HBO The Aristocrats"

I registered and still own malware.horse where I one day plan to put my personal website.

Well I for one am glad that all my practice at swimming to shore from Alcatraz is not going to have been for nothing.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Meanwhile in Scotland ...

NOW A third major law firm, WilmerHale, wins a temporary restraining order BLOCKING Trump's executive order targeting it. "The injuries to plaintiff here would be severe and spill over to its clients and the justice system at large." Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Bates, blocking Trump's order targeting Jenner: "Our legal profession as a whole is watching and wondering whether courtroom activities in the best tradition of lawyering will cause the federal government to turn its unwanted attention to them next."

I don't have the time (or the skillz) but someone should create parody versions of this site for Paul Weiss and Skadden www.jennerfirm.com

In house counsel will remember which law firms were sniveling cowards and which firms were ready to fight both for themselves and the rule of law.

Sometimes one way to say "thank you" just isn't enough, so merci, danke *and* bedankt 🇧🇪

Our first post is a big one...Statement from Keker, Van Nest & Peters on Trump’s Latest Executive Order “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court.”

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

This is very grim. A lot of it is unverifiable touchy-feely bullshit, and I am sure Paul Weiss does far more qualifying pro bono than that already, but the appearance of knuckling under is very bad. I would be worried as one of their clients adverse to the government.

I am a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission. Earlier today, the president attempted to illegally fire me. This is corruption, plain and simple. I will see the president in court. My full statement:

Still not as impressive as the time Kim Jong-Il scored a 38-under round with 11 holes-in-one the very first time he ever played golf.

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released

This is an embarrassment for Yale. It’s a grime time and things are going to keep getting grimmer if universities jump at shadows from fear of Trumpism. If you teach at Yale I sure hope ChatGPT doesn’t say you kidnapped the Lindbergh baby or something. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/u...

seems like a weird thing to do to this judge lol
