@joannahs.bsky.social dear Mr Pickle, please let us know if you’d like our support in the event you start proceedings for being so negligently left out of this week’s “The Diary” column (which was otherwise excellent). We are sure you could make a good case for neglect… Yours Ruby, Coco, Lily & Mimi

This is such a good overview of the risks of Tesla Autopilot. It covers specific technical flaws and also philosophical problems with self-driving. If you want to understand this space, please spend 10 minutes on this video: it’s the best I’ve seen. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mPUG...

Happy birthday to Mabel. Despite her occasional worries about the world, she would follow you to the ends of it. Which she proved again a couple of days ago.

I wrote a paper called 'Rules for Regulators' in an edited collection, John-Stewart Gordon ed. Smart Technologies and Human Rights (Brill 2021) and others have encouraged me to share it a bit more widely. Link here. jonathanwolff.wordpress.com/wp-content/u... Main message summarised below.

This Snow White remake trailer ran before Moana 2 last week. I assumed it was just one that I had erased from my brain — not that it hadn't been released online yet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV46...

I have said it before and will say it again: The BBC's Natural History Unit is worth the licence fee alone. Over the last 50 years, I have learnt more about the natural world from the BBC than anywhere else. It is a magnificent thing which we should cherish.

Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

Trials are being adjourned from 2024 to 2026 at one London court with capacity issues. Imagine getting the call to be told your trial (on either side of the courtroom) was being delayed. It won’t start on time. Not by 2 hours. Or days. Not by 2 weeks. Or months. But 2 years.

Hello new followers and thank you! I mainly post about lawyers, often when they might about to get into hot water. There are many fine lawyers on here, and I am also interested in the positive stuff! I am especially interested in the Post Office debacle.
