if you took my advice last year and bought used leather pants, wore those leather pants, and then resold them on eBay, you would have made more money than if you invested in bitcoin

At its peak within this period, it was about $125k. Today, it's $64k.

Isaac Asimov was a founder of modern science fiction. His work and ideas inform almost everything.

He was also a serial sexual harasser, something confirmed by multiple first-person accountings from members of East Coast fandom.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

aromanticduck: Not all construction work is equally enjoyable. For example, enlarging a drilled hole is boring, but fastening pieces of metal together is riveting. marzipanandminutiae: this joke would get the exact same reaction in 1870 that it gets in 2021 and I love that about it

A Winnipeg police officer testified Thursday that as he gripped his service weapon in one hand and the door handle of a stolen Jeep in the other, he was forced to jump out of the way when the vehicle began to reverse — which prompted his partner to fatally shoot the driver.

Ten seconds with Google and Wikipedia suggests there were no "ancient libraries of Ashurbanipal". Ashurbanipal was a person, not a place. There was a "Great Library of Ashurbanipal", named after its patron, but that's not the same thing as "ancient libraries of Ashurbanipal".

I need someone to go pull this transcript IMMEDIATELY
E. The Sanctions Conference and the Court's Findings of Fact On August 22, 2025, the Court held a conference to discuss Mr. Feldman's conduct. It set out to understand how his citation errors came to be and to what extent he used Al assistance to generate his submissions to the Court. The Court began by placing Mr. Feldman under oath (Dkt. #223 ("Tr.") at 4-5) and then proceeded to ask him a series of questions. While Mr. Feldman did admit to relying on Al to a degree (see id. at 39-40, 68-69, 72), he failed to fully accept responsibility. His answers grew increasingly discursive and were often entirely unresponsive to the Court's inquiries. (See, e.g., id. at 17 ("The Court: Sir, you are not answering my question. Mr. Feldman: I'll get to that."); id. at 34 ("Sir, once again, I'm really just asking you to answer my questions[.]"); id. at 36 ("I keep asking you, and I'm not sure why you are refusing to answer me."); id. at 37 ("Sir, you are not answering my question. I'm not sure how many ways I can ask it."); id. at 42 ("But you are still not answering my questions, which is getting to the point of being frustrating.")). 15 Case 1:24-cv-09429-KPF Document 227 Filed 02/05/26 Page 16 of 33 Mr. Feldman struggled to make eye contact with the Court and described an approach to legal research that was redolent of Rube Goldberg. Leaving the conference without clear answers, the Court was left to draw its own conclusions, which it sets forth in the remainder of this section.

The Court’s eyebrows must be through the roof by now
The Response was also noteworthy for its conspicuously florid prose. For example, it featured an extended quote from Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and metaphors comparing legal advocacy to gardening and the leaving of indelible "mark[s] upon the clay." (Response 3). And it included the following passage: Your Honor, in the ancient libraries of Ashurbanipal, scribes carried their stylus as both tool and sacred trust - understanding , that every mark upon clay would endure long beyond their mortal span. As the role the mark (x) in Ezekiel Chapter 9, that marked the foreheads with a tav (x) of blood and ink, bear the same solemn recognition: that the written word carries power to preserve or condemn, to build or destroy, and leaves an indelible mark which cannot be erased but should be withdrawn, let it lead other to think these citations were correct. I have failed in that sacred trust. The errors in my memorandum, however inadvertent, have diminished the integrity of the record and the dignity of these proceedings. Like the scribes of antiquity who bore their stylus as both privilege and burden, I understand that legal authorship demands more than mere competence — it requires absolute fidelity to truth and precision in every mark upon the page. (Id. at 7-8). Needless to say, Mr. Feldman's overwrought metaphors and historical references raised the Court's eyebrows.

Hey, so, I don’t do civil litigation, is it generally considered good when the judge does this?

Case 1:24-cv-09429-KPF Document 227 Filed 02/05/26 Page 1 of 33 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FLYCATCHER CORP. LTD and FLYCATCHER TOYS, INC., Plaintiffs, -V.- AFFABLE AVENUE LLC, doing business as CJ DIST; OZMOS COMPANY LLC; EYTAN GROSSMAN, doing business as EYG DEALS; CREATIVE REWARDS INC.; JOSHUA CHAVEZ, doing business as ONESTOPFASTSHOP; TOP EXPERIENCE COMPANY LLC, doing business as WE PAY COST LLC; PRETTY PRINCESS LLC, doing business as NORVI; AYANEE LLC; FORTUNA KG LLC, doing business as FORTUNAKG; JASON MANAGEMENT LLC; JOAN ALEXANDER SORIANO, doing business as PRIMECHOICEMART; A WAHABI CORPORATION, doing business as MCPROFITS; MODA ORIGINAL LLC; VALLEY BODEGA WHOLESALE INC.; EYAD WAHBY; SAM SHAMLOO; S&N GLOBAL SUPPLY INC.; VALUE VALLEY WHOLESALE LLC; ADAM HAMIDA; and JOHN DOES 1 to 25, Defendants. 24 Civ. 9429 (KPF) OPINION AND ORDER KATHERINE POLK FAILLA, District Judge: In June 2025, Steven A. Feldman, counsel for Defendant Affable Avenue LLC ("Affable"), filed a brief in support of Affable's motion to dismiss that was peppered with false citations. Concerned about both the genesis of these misstatements and counsel's delay in correcting them, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause. Perhaps not appreciating the gravity of the situation, Mr. Feldman responded to that Order with a submission that appeared to have been created by generative artificial intelligence ("Al"), and that itself contained a false citation. The Court's response was stern and unmistakable: "Mr. Case 1:24-CV-09429-KPF Document 227 Filed 02/05/26 Page 2 of 33 Feldman [wals not excused from this professional obligation [of verifying that the cases he submitted to the Court were valid] by dint of using emerging technology." (Dkt. #169 at 4). Mr. Feldman persisted. A few days prior to the Court's hearing on the Order to Show Cause, Mr. Feldman submitted a proposed reply brief in further support of Affable's motion to dismiss. Once again, his brief contained false citations. And at the August 22, 2025 hearing, Mr. Feldman was unable to respond directly to, much less answer, the Court's questioning about his submissions. Mr. Feldman has not, and apparently cannot, learn from his mistakes. And while the Court does not oppose the use of Al to assist in legal research and writing, it must take a stand where, as here, counsel repeatedly files submissions with false citations because counsel refuses to verify those submissions. This Court can do no more. For the reasons that follow, the Court sanctions Mr. Feldman pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and the Court's inherent powers by striking Affable's submissions and entering default judgment against it.

Ronnie and I are often The Same.
WHOMP! comic Agrias checks on Ronnie, who is lying in bed Agrias asks "Ronnie, are you getting McNuggets today?" He says "My back hurts real bad. I may need to see a doctor." Agrias says "They're 6 for 99 cents today." He says "What?! That's 30 for 5 dollars!!" and slowly gets off the bed. He then sings "Golden Ticket" from WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, replacing "Ticket" with "Nugget." Smash cut to an X-Ray of a spine in horrible condition. A doctor is pointing at it and saying "You destroyed it." Ronnie says "Aw..."

i have a hot take and it's that expressing an opinion like this about students or colleagues should probably be fireable regardless of tenure status or whatever else.

So *technically*, by announcing his intent here, and using this particular wording (there are some keywords there), Pagliarani has *probably* excommunicated himself. But it's up in the air. I think this is a test balloon to see if Leo will announce that this is a schismatic act--
