Me: sometimes I stay up all night and I don't go to bed. It's called "bonus time".

My loved ones: no it's not.

When people first hear about "jawboning" -- meaning government pressure to suppress speech through threats and other extra-legal measures, like what the FCC is doing now -- they always want to talk about "coercion" by the govt.

Free speech scholars say ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely represents "jawboning," when government officials pressure private companies to suppress speech.
Legal experts say pulling Jimmy Kimmel from air may amount to illegal 'jawboning'

La lección más importante que me dejó el año pasado fue aprender a ser flexible y adaptarse al cambio.

Frenar en seco y repriorizar cosas es normal y está bien.

There’s a lot of doctrinal mess in first amendment law. But once you see how it’s core principles influenced the protection of speech worldwide, you can’t unsee it.

It’s funny (not funny haha but funny weird) that I keep getting real-life hypos to test if I’m actually understanding my 1A class.

Trump just revoked the ability for foreign students to enroll at Harvard. Every foreign student, which is in the thousands, enrolled for next year at Harvard will not be able to continue studying if this isn't challenged in court.

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

A conversation I had with Vanity Fair about the pending AI copyright and Doge-OPM cases somehow turned out to be an interview with me:

Mark Zuckerberg’s Former AI Lawyer for Meta Is Now Taking on Elon Musk, DOGE, and Trump
Months after Mark Lemley posted a fiery missive to LinkedIn, he talks to VF about ditching Meta, suing DOGE, and his one regret about his “neo-Nazi” allegation.
