Great work from the FT's John Burn-Murdoch ft.com/content/b47485…

Really funny to see this email become LinkedIn management hustle porn when it was actually a key piece of evidence in a legal case that cost Apple, Google, Adobe, and Intel $415M.

Yale Law School never beating the “they don’t teach law at Yale” allegations

This is an unprecedented use of a power expressly confined to amending clerical mistakes from tribunal staff and party submissions. There is case law confirming that this power cannot be used to make substantive amendments to the judgment or to correct errors in citation.

This is really remarkable

People know I’m obsessed with aviation and frequently ask me whether it’s safe to fly. My advice is always this: flying commercial is the safest mode of transport. But never fly private or step foot in a helicopter for any reason except getting rescued.

Insanely, submitting your past 5 years' social media to enter the U.S. as a tourist is only a small part of the proposed upcoming requirements. You'll also need to give your DNA (!) among many other new requirements. All the additional info you'll need to give as a tourist eligible for ESTA (meaning those tourists who don't need a visa, for instance from EU, UK, Australia, Japan, and other Visa Waiver countries): - All social media accounts from the last 5 years - All your biometrics: face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris - All your phone numbers from the last 5 years - All your email addresses from the last 10 years - IP addresses and metadata from your submitted photos - Names of your family members (parents, spouse, siblings, children) - All your family members' phone numbers from the last 5 years - Your family members' dates of birth - Your family members' places of birth - Your family members' residencies - All your business phone numbers from the last 5 years - All your business email addresses from the last 10 years If you do need a visa (i.e. non ESTA), I imagine the requirements are going to be far more drastic. This is straight from the Department of Homeland Security documentation which you can find here: public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22461.pdf

This is astonishing

Je me souviens

This is it. The freeze disproportionately hits the highest earning 20%. Doesn’t really touch the top 1%. We’ve accidentally created a unique kind of progressive taxation aimed at those earning about £50k to 150k

people doing academic honorifics discourse come back to me after you’ve been on a panel with three men & introduced to the audience as professor jones, professor smith, professor mccoy, & alexandra

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

The idea that the free speech crisis on UK campuses is a nonsense whipped up by the Tories - the formal position of @UCU, the lecturers' union(!) - is utter nonsense. Just look at two appalling incidents today. First, a professor targeted at @CityStGeorges for being Israeli. 1/4

What could be easier and more popular than raising £2bn by taxing lawyers? Thread:

Bots are swarming my posts about Virginia Giuffre— right as her memoir Nobody’s Girl is set to drop tomorrow. That’s not coincidence. Ask yourself who benefits from silencing a woman who spent half her life exposing billionaires. You don’t bankroll troll farms unless you’re terrified of the truth.

I have just signed this and agree with it wholeheartedly

@QMSchoolofLaw great evening to celebrate our 60th anniversary. Super talk by Lord Reed

New: MI5 has warned MPs, Lords and staff working in politics that they are being targeted by spies from China, Russia and Iran The security service has published new guidance urging politicians and staff to look out for “threat actors” seeking to elicit information, cultivate long-term and deep relationships or blackmail them It comes after the collapse of the China spying case that has heaped pressure on Keir Starmer for his handling of national security matters. Reform UK’s former leader in Wales Nathan Gill also recently admitted to Russia-linked bribery charges Elements of the Chinese state, as well as Russia and Iran, are seeking to “cause harm to our democratic institutions,” Britain’s domestic security agency warns MI5 says foreign actors may use a range of methods, from dishonest online approaches such as acting as recruiters, hacks and cyber attacks, and exploiting politicians’ overseas travel It says they may use financial donations to politicians via UK nationals acting as go-betweens for foreign states, or indirectly to projects in their local area MI5 urges politicians to “keep track of odd social interactions” and be wary of “overt flattery”, as well as conducting due diligence on new contacts, secure their digital information and enhance their overseas security

Menti is like cross-examination. Never ask a question you don’t know the answer to, or where you know you won’t like the response

I don't think anyone who's salivating at the prospect of mass political violence or civil war has the foggiest idea of how bad these things are in real life. It's beyond their memory and their imagination.
