Federal appeals normally take over 2 YEARS, start to finish.
Here, the circuit court moved heaven and earth and produced its unanimous 61-page order, affirming the district court, less than 3 WEEKS after the district court's.
The Supreme Court just nuked it without a syllable of explanation.

The Supreme Court's ruling brushed aside, with no reasoning from the court, the district court's 52-page order and the circuit court's 61-page order affirming it.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's a rad fanmade beta tool that converts your images of battle maps for tabletop roleplaying, scales them to the proper size, then exports them to a PDF for printing and assembly on the tabletop. LITERAL game changer.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Richard Norton was a wonderfully talented stunt performer, stunt coordinator, and actor. He was also a friend. I met Richard as the fight choreographer on The Suicide Squad; he choreographed the Harley escape scene, Peacemaker vs Rick Flag Jr. and more.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
