Interesting things I found/saw on the internet, a thread:

Idk about y'all but my polsci education in the 11th and 12th grade offered a decent primer on geopolitics

Teaching the Rule Against Perpetuities to 1L law students.

no millennial trope has broken more brains than "you don't owe anybody anything". an ignoble, selfish narcissism dressed up in therapy-speak about boundaries and self-care in order to give yourself a pass from treating other people with a basic level of care and respect

Opposing counsel: Nothing further, your honor. The Court: Cross examination? Me: Yes, thank you. Good afternoon, sir. Just a few questions. Why must you turn this Court into a house of lies?

@KarthikRavi02 How do I move to the mountains if the mountains themselves are moving 🤔🤔

This is one reason why China pursues high green electrification. Almost all industrial chem depending on petrochem can be substituted w non-oil processes. But it needs high capacity/throughput of electricity. If electricity can be turned renewable, the energy/oil bottleneck fades

Practicing the law

Too many brilliant people surrender the best years of their lives to this exploitative grind mill. There's no reason the practice of law needs to be this horrible an experience. We have just collectively decided that this is how things are and we don't want them to be better.

yes!! yes yes yes!! we should run saltwater through every ai data center!! right now!!

Can't believe I spent 5 years of law school shitting on deal lawyers only to start working in law and realising that actually I rlly enjoy working on deals

USD up to 64.18?? Pound has breached 100!! Looks like I'm going to have to find new vacation spots in the future *facepalm*

There’s almost no legal journalism in India, it’s legal stenography.

You are a CRAVATH SWAYNE senior NDA associate. Draft the best NDA for a Facebook Marketplace seller trying to offload a clapped out 2006 BMW 330i with fake M badges. Must be airtight under Bakersfield, CA law.

“dune will never have the cultural impact of star wars” I’m gonna hold your hand while I explain to you why Tatooine looks like that.

Indiana's statehouse just signed two bills that cannot survive being read in the same sentence. The first: public universities must now accept the Classic Learning Test for admissions. The CLT draws its questions from classical texts. Plato. Augustine. Cicero. Shakespeare. The argument is that these works represent the intellectual foundation of Western civilization and self-government. The second: public colleges must eliminate programs deemed to produce "low earning" graduates. No carve-out for humanities. No protection for the programs where students actually read and wrestle with those classical authors the first bill just elevated. Fort Wayne's Redeemer Classical School sent a representative to the statehouse to champion the CLT. Their students read Homer and Euclid. Their graduates will now test into universities that are legally required to accept their scores and simultaneously required to shut down the departments built around the tradition those scores are supposed to measure. You cannot champion the classics as a signal of intellectual seriousness and then eliminate the classrooms that make the ideas real. That is not education reform. That is a credential without a curriculum.

Can’t believe the Butlerian Jihad will start from regular-style jihad. Frank Herbert really did so much LSD it let him peer into the future.
