@legaleagle.tv you mentioned legal evil recently. Looked for but couldnt find. It sounds great and am looking forward to seeing it.
Apparently it takes longer to make a video about Katie Zacharia than Katie Zacharia's actual career as press secretary... youtube.com/shorts/ty3bk...
I'll be the first to admit it's a real failure of the judiciary that after six years of the Trump Administration, Judges aren't moving straight to contempt hearings.
UPDATE: The Trump administration apologized to a judge after DHS’ taxpayer-funded Trump ads aired in hundreds of ad spots after she blocked them. The excuse: DHS’ lawyers missed the email. The judge had flagged that the $20 million for the ads was approved in under two hours.
The NPR comments section is the hottest new social media site. Oh my god. The kids did the thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4mM...
I feel it's important to point out — to the extent the Death Arch is a real thing and not some insane fever dream — it's slated to be built in Arlington, Virginia, not Washington, D.C., next to Arlington National Cemetery. The snipers would have line of sight to about 400,000 graves. Wait...
Beyond parody: "At the strong request of the Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers..."
I hate that this is correct.
Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.
And, of course, it comes just as we elevate an insane, despotic president. (I think this was largely coincidental) You'd hope the proponents would have a modicum of self awareness and restraint to maybe slow things down for a minute. But no. Full destruction. Bring on authoritarianism!
Summary for non-lawyers: this week is the capstone of a project to undue EVERY important institution, norm, freedom, and right that we have been relying on (and taking for granted) for the last 80 years. We have only barely begun to feel the repercussions; I suspect we will regret it dearly.

Hey! I think i forgot to tell you that I got to cameo in Jess McKenna and Zach Reino's Mock Trial mockumentary. Check out the trailer! (Though it might hit close to home if you did mock trial...) www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYG2...
It's an @annabower.bsky.social joint. I've seen an early cut, it's going to be 🔥.
1. Generally this isn't going to go well for the pro se(s). 2. Real lawyers will make a ton of money defending these things. 3. Everything they ask of Ai is discoverable and will be turned over to the other side, feeding back into #1 and #2.
Since ChatGPT's release, more people are choosing to represent themselves in federal court. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Devin Stone turned punchy legal explainers into a YouTube empire. Now he’s warning that the sheer volume of Trump administration scandals is distorting reality itself. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...
It's official, I'm the "Internet's FAVORITE lawyer" (emphasis mine). Can't be argued. It's just science. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...

Laypeople, keep asking legal questions of ChatGPT. Don't worry that your chat logs are discoverable!
Gooooood god. I'm not familiar with the underlying defamation allegations, but if you ever get this settlement offer, you take it and run (and then maybe hide in a hole for the rest of your life). Also, lol to anyone who said Ai would make lawyers unnecessary.

I've been quiet about my legal case as I take it very seriously and wish to keep it as separate from my everyday life as possible, but I wanted to give you all an update that provides some context for my commentary. 🧵 (1/10) kusklaw.sharefile.com/share/view/s...
Nilay might be the best podcaster in the game. One of the few who is willing to ask the same question repeatedly when he's getting BS answers. My guess is he's taken a few depositions in his day. Masterful.
Here’s my interview with Shishir Mehotra, the CEO behind Grammarly’s “expert review” feature which attributed writing advice to people - including me lol - without permission. Or, as you will hear us talk about a lot, compensation. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...
@reckless.bsky.social I know you were a lawyer. Am I right you've taken depos or gotten deposition training?
