TODAY IS TALK LIKE YOU’RE IN PULP FICTION DAY -
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the stupidity of the needy and the tyranny of the arrogant. Blessed is he who, in the name of duty and justice, shepherds the weak through the valley of ignorance, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost causes.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who waste my precious time with their self-importance.
I got me a briefing to finish for one who thinks the sun shines out his own ass, and I’d rather have my damn leg mangled in a bear trap than cater to his delusions.
But yea, though my patience is tested, I shall walk the path of honor, because the righteous endure, and the petty fall by the wayside. (Ezekiel 25:17ish).
It’s 2 a.m. and I finally found the answer I’ve been looking for for days. I could not understand why an opposing counsel was so confident that the statute of limitations for the fine his client (the government) is requiring my client to pay is five years, when every regulation I’ve seen in the last fifteen years sets it at four years. It turns out that this branch of government has its own regulation and it is actually five years. But I also found a loophole for this particular type of fine, so I can go to bed (for a very few hours) with a grin on my face. I can still win this.

In today's example of how Google's AI overviews are the worst form of AI-assisted search (previously, hallucinating Encanto 2), it turns out you can type in any made-up phrase you like and tag "meaning" on the end and Google will provide you with an entirely made-up justification for the phrase.
OpenAI 4.o (mini) disappointed me too yesterday, when performing a search on legal matters. Completely made up a regulation, creating even fake sources.
🔗 Diane, I wrote a lecture by talking about it
Matt Webb dictates notes on into his Apple Watch while out running (using the new-to-me Whisper Memos app), then runs the transcript through Claude to tidy it up when he gets home.
I need to look into this.
Fun fact: there's no rule that says you can't create a new blog today and backfill (and backdate) it with your writing from other platforms or sources, even going back many years.
I'd love to see more people do this!
I’ve done this every time I migrated my blog from Squarespace to Wordpress to Micro.blog. Rename it, “refound” it and backlog it with old posts. I didn’t know it was a thing.
J.D. Vance visited the Pope of the Catholic Church in Rome. Hours later, the Pope died. Reports are sketchy, but we know he was pretty much alive before and during the meeting. Just stating the facts here.
