I’ve long thought about making a purpose made account for this. I adore/hate signs with weird things “in quotes.” Something about the words in quotes being an implied slogan just GETS ME.
I’m just going to start a thread, and intermittently add ones I find.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Without disclosing anything specific: Have any other lawyers seen a giant uptick in people sending in ChatGPT summaries of their potential claims, or things like a “counsel retention packet”?
I’d be very interested to hear how others are handling this—we tend to see it as a red flag.

We need courageous leaders that put working families at the center of all they do.
8 democrats caving to empty promises is an indefensible leadership failure
For the sake of our country, Schumer needs to resign.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

So, binging some recent diegetic diss tracks that slap. A Huntrix / Scylla and the Sirens tour would be incredible.
But who opens?
(part of the answer is obviously that either way they do a slow transition single set, like Bowie/NIN in the 90s, but, who goes first?)

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

The NYC Department of Correction is extremely serious about projecting an image of reform, lawfulness, and considered, sober judgment these days, so it has decided to rename its Lower Manhattan jail complex after... multiply disgraced criminal Bernie Kerik.

At least if we take precedent seriously, this is… not a threat.
Yes; it’s unhinged. But it is exactly the kind of speech SCOTUS has consistently said is neither imminent nor threatening. It’s saying someone should do something LATER. You can’t distinguish it from Brandenburg’s “revengence.”

And here I thought there couldn’t be a worse version of vibe lawyering than an octogenarian shouting a brief into a dictaphone and filing the result without reviewing it.
The bros are at it again! and make no mistake, they are LITERALLY calling it "Vibe Lawyering"

This is unambiguously correct.
Apart from anything else, I learned how to unfuck Word's autonumbering in that class. @akivamcohen.bsky.social has joked that if I ever need to get another job, my cover letter could just say "I know how to unfuck Word's autonumbering" and that would probably get me to an in-person interview

This case of ours involves some wild foot stomping by the City’s police unions — and City officials all too willing to cooperate with those tantrums.
I am rather excited to get into discovery with the unions here…

NY law says that you can't deny people employment just because they have a criminal record. But after police unions launched a campaign to get a CCRB investigator with a criminal record fired, he lost his job. Yesterday, he sued the CCRB and the unions.

This understates how bananas the citation is.
This citation format suggests ChatGPT published something that was called “What does monkey ass mean?” But following the permalink, there is a kind of low quality screenshot of a chat log, not titled, but with that text in the chat.

First, what Sean is describing IS what Fraenkel describes as fascism’s Dual State. The structure of unlimited and arbitrary discretion in the prerogative state relies on the continued functioning of the Normative State.

I am no law professor, but what I always remember is the vast majority of lawyers never deal with the hottest-button issues. They handle traffic offenses and divorces and slip-and-falls and trusts-and-estates and medical malpractice, all areas where the Rule of Law is alive and well. /1
As I prepare to welcome new law students, I am fighting the urge to go deep-cynic about law and courts. I think the most powerful act of resistance I can offer is to teach future lawyers how to think clearly, how to care about facts, and how to understand fundamental legal values.
