I can imagine this might be true enough to get through an interview and maybe one project. But as soon as an unexpected challenge arises, one that hasn’t been fed into the algorithm, AI is going to fail you.

…. and then she insisted he sit down because she believes his law school alumni are “dishonest, etc”. Then said “does that look like animus to you?”

Wild reporting from courtroom where this is up - judge asked govt if this constituted animus against a group. Govt: “I don’t have an answer for that”, judge: “you have an answer you just don’t want to give it”…

I find it infuriating that the only thing that seems to motivate people to take big political risks is $$ - so the most radical proposals only seem to take root on the right. Liberal politicians need to start being ballsy on behalf of regular people, oppressed minorities, and the working class.

The incredible hypocrisy of this hand-wringing over “backwater blue state judges” when cases have been carefully judge-shopped to red state judges for the last decade or more to chip away at the authority of Democratic presidents.

It totally counts!!!

I was just thinking about this - an underrated dynamic is whether a political party seems “fun” (which is surface to the amount of money at play, but still…). As a kid in the 90s, Repubs seemed dowdy and prudish, Dems were chill and cool. Obama was fun - Biden was not, and Trump is amusing to many

It is crazy how much things could have changed in that short a time, but my original point still stands. It’s a really frustrating pattern from national Dems.

I have been thinking a lot about Reagan’s famous line “the scariest words are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help” - and how affirming that attitude towards government just lays the groundwork for removing all the supports that government provides for average people.
