Some impressions of this year's @ICON•S Annual Conference at the Universidade de Brasília.
It was intense in the best way. Such a beautiful conference. I feel ridiculously lucky to do what I do.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?
HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

Some personal news
*acts shocked*
The newest and most powerful A.I. technologies — so-called reasoning systems from companies like OpenAI, Google and the Chinese start-up DeepSeek — are generating more errors, not fewer. As their math skills have notably improved, their handle on facts has gotten shakier.
A.I. Hallucinations Are Getting Worse, Even as New Systems Become More Powerful

The president of Princeton University is emerging as a real hero of the moment. He refuses to sell out academic freedom to this fascist president and his moral clarity is pitch perfect.

I am very proud to be a declarant in AAUP v Rubio. As @aaup.bsky.social general counsel I hear the harrowing stories of our noncitizen & citizen members & the ways their 1st A rights are trampled upon by the administration’s ideological deportation policies.

Finally starting to get a sense of what those 72 hours-exams at YLS prepare u for....
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Same faculty
But (even more) grateful
Same shoes
But much happier in them
Less serious
But bigger smile
(Still not fully) grown-up
But at peace with my inner child
Some new friends
But keeping mine from day one of law school
Always Lucky.
