9 Justices and three D.C. Circuit judges, but who's counting! I'm just excited that Anupam and I get to keep our frenemy Vaudeville act going for a little longer.

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

Huge media companies settling bogus lawsuits by Trump will only result in more lawsuits, less press freedom, and less accountability to the people. Important op-ed by @jameeljaffer.bsky.social of @knightcolumbia.org

The "democratizing" effect of the widespread digitization of archives has been too little a part of the "law office history" conversation. Knowing how to read and use historical sources in context takes time, care, and practice, not just a laptop and a dream.

This is embarrassingly stupid. This is literally Senate Dems handing censorship power to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. WTF are they thinking?

"Project 2025 approved SSA administrator steps down just 3 weeks into the administration, giving up a GS-15 career in the process, because she knew even one more week on the job would risk putting her in prison for decades" is a very good and comforting sign (Musk's touching the stove)

This is correct, but this is *NOT* a new problem for the press & it's not just about reporting on the "invisible" wins of government The press (all humans) have a deeply entrenched negativity bias, both in the stories they write and the framing. This is a bigger problem than the current moment 1/

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
