This is why lawyers have been getting in trouble using AI to review case law or (worse) to generate documents. It creates citations and references that look close enough to be plausible but are just made up of thin air. CA passed a law ex

LA and NY are both border cities that accept millions more immigrants than the red cities that do all the complaining.

Today I learned on the Internet that Tylenol is more dangerous than meth, cocaine, or fentanyl. Wait, no I didn't. That's absurd. Tylenol can cause long term health issues if used in excess (or death, for extreme overdoses), but

Unless Congress passes a law so SCOTUS doesn't have to. Congress doesn't need to pass a new law. Federal gambling laws were not removed from the books when Congress created the CFTC because they did not intend for gambling trans

It's not clever at all. Congress didn't eliminate the federal prohibition on sports gambling when they created the CFTC. Ergo, it is clear that Congress did not intend for sports gambling transactions to be within the jurisdiction

$25 is difficult to manage even in California, with millions of customers. I can't see how its economically feasible in Alaska.

Right, that was my point. Most of LA's homeless aren't from LA. They're not our homeless.

They didn't end in-country processing for any green card applications until November 2025. Your friend could not have been out-of-the country for over a year.

This story can't be true. The green card freeze policy only went into effect in January 2026...earlier this year, and was struck down several months ago. Also, UCIS has limited discretion to reject a spousal green card applicant; an un

Governor Rick Perry of Texas openly bragged about bussing the state's homeless to California for years. Abbot does the same thing; he simply doesn't brag about it anymore. The LAT did a series of articles (back in 2018, and sporad

Violent crime is down everywhere, not just in cities with soldiers.

It's not about stopping crime. It's about normalizing the sight of armed troops in cities. Trump has already stated many times, not jokingly that he wants a third term. He acknowledges that he can't be elected for a third

Consider that the overwhelming majority of this thread on a tech-focused forum have issues with the UI. That should tell you something about how ridiculously illogical the UI is compared to every other program in the space. GIMP has been

In the early 2000s, people were taking classes to learn how to use Word. Now even grandma uses Word without thinking about it. We're talking about 2026. GIMP had an excuse for its UI back in 1999. It doesn't anymore.

The plaintiff in this case lost and decided that the judge used AI to rule against him. However in his own complaint, which was drafted by AI, he says that it was permissible for the judge to do so... https://www.courtlistener.co

If you just tried Photoshop 2 or 3 times, you'd fail to get anything accomplished either. This is is simply not true. Photoshop is popular even with non-tech users because it is possible to do things in Photoshop without having to

Blender in the early days before the UI upgrade was like GIMP now: irrationally difficult to use. Blender is still not beginner-friendly, but that's true of all 3D modeling software. There's a limit to how friendly you can make th

No, they didn't invent the idea wholesale. There were similar issues dating back to the founding of the country. However nobody pays those any heed because it destroys the ideological claims they're trying to make.

Wickard was growing wheat for interstate commerce. The case was about whether the additional wheat he grew for "personal" use was also part of interstate commerce.

If you read the data you would have observed that a large chunk of those store closures were by the big retail pharmacy chains, which blows your central thesis out of the water.

No, they used the existing system of due process to investigate whether crimes were committed at Mar-a-Lago. They didn't claim national security to shut it down.

One day hopefully another president will use the national security drum to close down all Trump golf resorts and properties on the grounds that they are used to facilitate illegal activity.
