Total depravity seems more so with a constant chorus of jokes bitter, bad or both.
I have sunk so far into decadence and depravity that I am expecting to enjoy Trump's evisceration of DeSantis.
The DeSantis Twitter announcement thing is so fucking funny.
Twitter envisioned Trump calling DeSantis "Rob" before it happened for real.
(3) and the arbitration judgment it links are pretty enjoyable - and good to see the power of the courts when used against someone wholly deserving.
In the last decade while promoting MyPillow, Mike Lindell seems to have liked to tell the story of being addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol and losing his previous business, which if true (it's a standard evangelical thing to tell horror stories about how low your pre-Jesus low was) makes one wonder what he's on lately, so high on his own supply he commissioned a real arbitration firm that could see past his nonsense and legally order him to pay $5m.
Lindell LLC assembled the Red Team, a group of software professionals, to review the data that would be presented to Contest participants... Josh Merritt, a member of the Red Team, explained that none of the Red Team cyber experts were able to open the files and obtain packets from the data Lindell LLC provided. Mr. Merritt, in fact, testified that he had advised Mr. Lindell to call the Contest off."
"Election data" really should be in scare quotes, Heebie
I've heard bad things about crack cocaine. To be fair, I've heard bad things about pillows too.

Guy has ai write a brief, which makes up cases. Confronted, he has ai produce the cases, which themselves cite made up cases.
See dkt 31.
And would it matter if he is? It's not like bars are the only places with wi-fi.
Cellular data is sufficient in most of America.
The thing has gone totally viral. He'll get something, but I strongly doubt it'll be disbarment -- not for the ai. The notarized affidavit issue, though, that's a completely different level of fuck-up.
If you're going to fabricate evidence, which you should not do, use declarations rather than affidavits.
But don't fabricate evidence!
What, Babel doesn't have a law library?
If you must fabricate evidence, you should probably pick something that isn't so easy to discover is fabricated.
Speaking of ridiculousness in the news y'all will probably be into this example of ChatGPT conning a lawyer into citing completely made-up cases in his brief. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/27/nyregion/avianca-airline-lawsuit-chatgpt.html
19: Well, that is just a federal district court. What really gets to me is when commenters disrespect Unfogged by posting without reading the thread.
If a tree falls and it's not covered by the New York Times, does it make any sound?
Hugely enjoyed reading the case. Thanks, CC.
