David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It’s 1pm, and I find it incredibly assuring that the HMO phone advice nurse greeted me with a “good evening” and concluded with a “good night.” 040
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 15/09/2026That pronunciation didn’t exist before the Thomas hearings and didn’t last much longer than that. Weird stuff. 040
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I tried to get Claude to start a doomsday but I ran out of tokens. Now I have to wait until 5:20 am. 061
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I think I should document my NYC 9/11 experiences… before my memories fade and fray at the edges. 010
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I did see that! That’s a social media tradition. Congrats on slugging through it - and I’m sure there are great things ahead for you! 000
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It’s this kind of garbage that made me cut my presence and time on these websites by 99%. 050
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I haven’t been on here much in over a year. Did I miss anything? How’s everyone doing? 220
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Spray-on liquid bandage helps! It will sting like absolutely crazy for a minute, but then you’re good. 010
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 05/09/202640s are the best decade. Energy and wisdom converge! 110
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Hey congrats on getting through it! Enjoy your August :-) 000
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Lets be honest .It’s not about how you handle it, it’s about what life gives you. 160
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I’d want to know more about NCBE’s counsel about Yakima location / 700 testers on the system at same time . Oregon broke up our administration into 3 separate sites. 000
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 29/07/2026My sense is that it’s the complexity of administration that caused the problem - regardless of who owned the failure. 000
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Fair point - choose the failure you want to have, I guess. Oregon bar is doing a great job, incidentally… 000
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I have about 5,000 posts about that - all sealed up on the other site :-) 110
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 29/07/2026It’s just not feasible to have the state bars administering the exam. Find a way to configure it to be administered by real testing companies, like the accounting and medical boards 150
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Kicked my social media addiction only to realize how overrated IRL is 061
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Cats know when they are bad. It comes from their hyper awareness that they are in the predator and prey Venn diagram 010
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Instead of shaming the lawyers who get caught using hallucinated citations, maybe we should be shaming the AI instead - we are supposed to trust it 131
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 30/05/2026You only ever hear about the subset of lawyers who *get caught* with the hallucinated citations. 121
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I have already had that! Mid career student followed by kiddo 10 years later. 120
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I realize now that my teaching career has now equaled a K through JD in duration. 010
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Yowzers. I just finished my 20th year of law teaching. Tempus fugit. 2110
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 18/04/2026I just used Claude to complete all of my NYT games. It’s remarkably good at it. And wow. It’s going to save me so much time. 071
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Marinating the chips overnight in lard can restore some of the oomph to baked lays 140
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 31/03/2026It helps to teach torts for 15 years AND have a sick mind 020
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 31/03/2026I’m back. And I have 4 years worth of stockpiled nonsense takes 170
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 31/03/2026🚨 I found a companion case to Summers vs. Tice! 🚨 3576
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 26/03/2026I think they’ll PROBABLY be ok. the panic in some circles about the death of social media is unwarranted. They’ll adjust, they’ll settle. 110
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Agree 100%. The smoking gun memos are durable and the effects will have a long tail. Unless they find their way to legislative outcome like PLCAA. 110
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 26/03/2026The Meta /YouTube verdict sure opened the floodgates to the open the floodgates metaphor. 020
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Absolutely. Well, I guess we won’t have Anthony in front of us in line! 020
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 26/03/2026You may be entitled to your own facts, but you aren’t entitled to your own opinions. 1251
David Friedman @profdaf.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Not that there isn’t merit - or nuance - here. But we all know … don’t we… 010
