In a Hertz bankruptcy case, the S Ct denied cert after the SG so recommended. Had cert been granted, I would have tried to convince @klonick.bsky.social to file an amicus brief, addressing her special (albeit non-bankruptcy) insights into the company. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

when I heard @klonick.bsky.social say "don't get me saying the F word again" during a @radiolab.bsky.social pod about content moderation, I thought maybe she meant "Facebook" but it turned out just to be the usual suspect F word

FWIW, I used ChatGPT to figure out the page number for the "She went boneless" cite to Knuffle Bunny. and then I doublechecked the citation format in the Bluebook. you have to commit to these things.

I totally assimilated that taco (I know today is the day for Star Wars jokes, but you work what life hands you)
part of a white sticker from takeout food—the sticker says "Shrimp Taco (Single)" and also says "(7 of 9)"

As of today's close of market, TWTR is trading at $49.68, which is an 8.3% discount to the deal price of $54.20. 

That implies a collective belief that there is a significant chance that the deal won't close.

Tesla's Q1 earnings were down 71% over Q1 2024. that's a year-over-year comparison, so saying first quarters are typically bad doesn't explain things.

fascinating! if you think you have a sweet tooth, you probably didn't think your teeth literally cause sugar cravings—but did you expect that the cravings are, at least in part, driven by bacteria in your gut??

I went to a lovely party that featured 10 (TEN!!) high end champagnes, but for me the true star was the tete de moine cheese flowers. the cheese dates back to the 12th century, but the girolle tool that is today used to create cheese rosettes shaped like chanterelle mushrooms was invented in 1982
Tête de Moine AOP with girolle: a round wooden platform with a semi-hard cheese held in place with a central pole to which a turning knife is attached, which is rotated to create cheese curls that form into rosettes that resemble chanterelle mushrooms

Stanford Law's hiring of @orinkerr.bsky.social is a nice 4A pick up, but when will they announce a comparable hiring of a 3A scholar?
