Légal 500 lists a colleague of mine who died nearly ten years ago so I sometimes question how authoritative a source it is

You are a genuinely bad person.

In all fairness, being nasty about the “other side” is something both brexiters and remainers indulged in, in an unhealthy and unhelpful way.

Agree. It’s been a disaster on any measure. My impression is some Brexiters simply can’t admit (even to themselves) it was a bad idea. May be others genuinely believe it will somehow turn out for the best.

A ton of people here on Bluesky last night were critical of the U.S. military's role in Trump's UFC spectacle. Our @markhertling.bsky.social has thoughts—drawing on a line from, of all people, Tom Wolfe. www.thebulwark.com/p/sentinels-...

Military participation in the spectacle in D.C. is a reminder that trust in our armed forces depends on them standing apart.

Grand juror: "Are you actually presenting any new actual facts …?" Mecklenburg: "Are you going to be able to listen with an open mind?" Grand juror: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit."
GRAND JUROR: Are you actually presenting any new actual facts or just a different viewpoint on your side?
MS. MECKLENBURG: Okay. I'm feeling the skepticism already. Are you going to be able to listen with an open mind? Tell me the truth.
GRAND JUROR: I -- no.
MS. MECKLENBURG: Okay. Then you have to
go --
GRAND JUROR: I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is.
MS. MECKLENBURG: Okay. Thank you for your opinion for everybody.

This is niche, but there's nothing like discovering Edward Coke got a name wrong in his reports (after checking the actual record) then seeing centuries of legal scholars repeat the error.

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this whenever they see a map of The Strait Of Hormuz on the news?

This is quite something from Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, in an interview with Reuters. The end of the post-war order, diagnosed in technocratic language. www.mfa.gov.sg/newsroom/pre...
A screenshot with a block of text:

Minister: The US is now a revisionist power. For 80 years, the US was the underwriter for a system of globalisation based on UN Charter principles, multilateralism, territorial integrity, sovereign equality. It actually heralded an unprecedented and unique period of global prosperity and peace. Of course there were exceptions. And of course, the Cold War was still in effect for at least half of the last 80 years. But generally, for those of us who were non-communists, who ran open economies, who provided first world infrastructure, together with a hardworking disciplined people, we had unprecedented opportunities. The story of Singapore, with a per capita GDP of 500 US dollars in 1965.
Now, lit is| somewhere between 80,000 to 90,000 US dollars. It would not have happened if it had not been for this unprecedented period, basically Pax Americana and then turbocharged by the reform and opening of China for decades. It has been unprecedented. It has been great for many of us. In fact, I will say, for all of us, if you look back 80 years. But now, whether you like it or not, objectively, this period has ended. There is no point trying to assign blame or pejorative adjectives. That is not helpful. Basically, the underwriter of this world order has now become a revisionist power, and some people would even say a disruptor. But the larger point is that the erosion of norms, processes, and institutions that underpinned a remarkable period of peace and prosperity; that foundation has gone. What you are seeing now, whether you watch the war in Ukraine, in the Middle East or elsewhere, including in Asia, to me these are symptoms of the underlying tectonic rupture. Big powers and even lesser powers have a more narrow definition of national interest.

Eric Schmitt claiming victory even when he's a loser is a recurring theme. I wrote about it just yesterday, in fact. Read here: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/a-li...

A Litigation Playbook for Narrative Warfare
Eric Schmitt’s “The Last Line of Defense” casts courts as stages for political spectacle rather than forums for justice—and rewrites the evidentiary record along the way.

The better question is whether someone’s name can be SCD, eg Muhammad Ali? In practice, it’s better to avoid the question but the CJEU says silly things like any data capable of being used to reveal SCD counts (OT), intent is irrelevant (BNDK) though must be real probability of revealing SCD(Lindk)

To think The Times used to be the paper of record. Now it is just … trivial.

Jaw droppingly bad decision though. The lack of awareness of the ramifications of the decision is notable even for the cjeu.

Ha! I fell into that one. For completeness I see no prospect of a prosecution being brought. But still an offence.

In all fairness he brought the case in an incredibly aggressive way. Have to say some aspects of the claim were very ill advised. A cost effective way to deal with libel claims is long overdue tho
