“This country is rapidly moving toward an authoritarian form of society. In authoritarian countries—like Russia and Saudi Arabia—you do not have a media that is allowed to be critical of the government,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders, on how ABC paused Kimmel's show after the Trump FCC's threats.

Let me get this straight: A comedian should be taken off the air over a single sentence that the far right says was a "lie," but Fox News is free to tell all the lies it wants, as long as they favor Trump? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

There were reports last year that Harvey wanted to buy vLex. At the time, I thought it would’ve made more sense the other way around. So this is an interesting pivot by Harvey.

I've been saying for the last couple of years that AI adoption by law firms will drive down new lawyer hiring and create a mortal threat to the lawyer development pipeline. So it behooves me to alert you to data that points in exactly the opposite direction of what I've been predicting.

As usual I think @bobambrogi.bsky.social has it right. McCormick Center is big, modern, and impressive...but most of all it's big. And the sheer size of the space made it harder to run into folks. There are several LegalTech friends I didn't get to see even though we were both there. #ABATECHSHOW

Interestingly, Trump’s plan to get taxes from oligarchs buying for golden passports comes right after pledging to purge comically old people paying into Social Security even though the latter (undocumented workers paying in & not taking out) put way more in than his plan will

We’re in the middle of an authoritarian takeover of the government. Yet Trump’s approval rating is pretty much at an all time high and now we’re all supposed to watch a blood sport while being fed Elon Musk ads. Surely there are better ways to spend a Sunday evening.
