Ep30: "The One Where We Try To Draw Copyright Law From Memory" with @jacobschumer @Jason and @andrew is arriving in your #podcast client of choice this afternoon.

We get caught up, try out a new (very bad) intro song, and talk about the copyrightability of legal filings -- something none of us know much about. Also sexism in #chess.

Opposing counsel just chastised me for my tone in an email: "the tone of your email and the apparent disdain you have for my clients will inflame them."

Your clients should not be surprised when I accuse them of breaking the law by discriminating against my client because of their protected characteristic, and then retaliating against them when they bring up the problem, that I do not hold them in the highest regard at that moment.

Donald Trump has an indictment count for every time he's circled the sun.

I’m sorry, Randal Grichuk is not that good at #baseball. He is certainly not a season difference maker.

If this is the kind of move the #Yankees plan to make they are “buyers” at the deadline in name only.

To summarize the last 2.5 years

—Bidenomics
•US GDP growth up to 2.4%
•Inflation down to 2.97%
•Unemployment down to 3.6%
•US Manufacturing now #1 globally

—GOP
•Unanimously voted NO on COVID relief bill, Inflation Reduction Act, & Infrastructure Bill
•Blocked BBB and student loan relief
•Banned abortion access & Affirmative Action
•Legitimized LGBTQ discrimination, drowning migrant kids, & claim slavery helps Black people

GOP fights culture wars because they don't have principles to run on.

So the service is X, it is everything, and sending a message on that service is to send an “X.”

Cool cool cool this’ll work.

Elon Musk wants to turn tweets into 'X's'. But changing language is not quite so simple

Elon Musk may want to send “tweet” back to the birds, but the ubiquitous term for posting on the site he now calls X is here to stay — at least for now. For one, the word is still plastered all over the website formerly known as Twitter. With “tweets,” Twitter accomplished in just a few years something few companies have done in a lifetime: It became a verb and implanted itself into the lexicon of America and around the world. Upending that takes more than a top-down declaration, even if it is from the owner of Twitter-turned-X who also happens to be one of the world’s richest man.
