I've been following the build up and war daily for well over a year and I will never get used to the fact that a major European country and its capital is under weekly massive assault with cruise missiles and strategic bombers to disable its basic infrastructure like heat and power in a war overtly attempting colonialist conquest.

"Against all odds," a lawyer was paid millions of dollars to help a giant corporation with $19 billion in annual profits file a preposterous bankruptcy which prevented cancer victims from exercising their constitutional right to a civil jury trial.

"Litigator of the Year." What an amoral profession.

Litigator of the Year: Skadden's Allison Brown Achieves Success Against All Odds | The American Lawyer

Brown's work and win for the Johnson & Johnson baby powder case and quick pivot to a bankruptcy matter are just some of the reasons she won Litigator of the Year.

Remarkable but unsurprising how utterly dense Meta / Facebook has been about #galactica. Any amateur with a lay understanding of AI text generation (e.g., me) would've seen the problems but they somehow didn't.

"The problem is that Meta has been touting Galactica as a model that does work. In reality, Galactica has the same profound flaws as other large language models, fundamental shortcomings that researchers have been warning about for years."

Pence suggests DOJ didn’t try hard enough to get documents from Mar-a-Lago before search

Former Vice President Mike Pence suggested that the Justice Department (DOJ) did not try hard enough to obtain the classified and sensitive documents that were taken to former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence before executing search warrant at the property earlier this year.  Pence told host Chuck Todd in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday…

I am heartbroken by this news. 5 are dead and 18 wounded from this horrific armed assault at a gay club hosting a drag show night in Colorado Springs.

An attack upon our community anywhere is an attack upon us all everywhere. My heart is with the victims and their families.
