Weighing in to say that the most pro-player argument I’ve heard (and talked about on @tippingpitchespod.com, on which Jen has appeared many times) is that realistically the revenue can only go to the players or owners; who would you rather it go to? “Pay teachers more” is not an option

I truly need people to understand that not every MLB player is a multi-millionaire there are so many players making prorated league minimum and also labor is still labor. if you argue against labor, you're anti-labor.

Re the Twins-Tigers game and the Cubs-Brewers game: I'm fine with position players pitching, but for goodness' sake, throw the ball over the plate. You can't be hitting guys and walking guys when the ump is giving you a huge zone. It's a disgrace. Get someone in there who can throw a strike.

At the start of the season, someone #onhere posted instructions for how to turn off the AI-ish "stats" that MLB embeds in their app gamecast play-by-play. I got a new phone, and now they are back. Any help reminding me how to turn those off? I hate it. cc: @keithlaw.bsky.social (you RT-ed it maybe?)

The end game is what Thomson Reuters/Westlaw is now pushing us to - access only through a forced Generative AI model, where they no longer invest in legacy research platforms that left the human in control of the results and research strategies. 4/5

They want us to move away from ownership to electronic access only, so they are forcing us into it with unsustainable price increases. Then they can easily dictate what we do with the online, access only versions. 3/5

The invoice we just received was $15,403.86 for one supplement of approximately 200 pages. It is untenable to think any library can afford a price increase of nearly 150% in two years. They want us to cancel the print. 2/5

A quick nerdy law librarian post about how difficult publishers are making our job: In 2024, a certain legal publisher charged us $6,175.86 twice annually to supplement a semi-important legal treatise in print. Guess what the cost is in 2025. 1/5

I'm remembering the look of surprise on my Contracts professor’s face when he learned that none of us had parents who constantly told us to “always read the footnotes.”

The Court has doubts that caselaw supports the construction of “fugitive” that Texas is considering. According to Texas, it is investigating whether, in the context of interstate extradition, a fugitive is a person who volitionally leaves the state in which he is charged. Here, Texas proposes, Castro did not leave Minnesota volitionally, but did so in response to a directive from ICE, his employer. But as the Supreme Court long ago explained, a fugitive is a person who, “having within a state committed that which by its laws constitutes a crime, when he is sought to be subjected to its criminal process to answer for his offense, he has left its jurisdiction, and is found within the territory of another.” Roberts v. Reilly, 116 U.S. 80, 97 (1885). Under this rubric, the focus rests not on the accused’s reason for leaving the state, but simply on whether he in fact left. Consistent with this broad construction of “fugitive,” cases that have concluded that an individual was not a fugitive all involved persons who were not within the state demanding extradition when the alleged offense occurred. See, e.g., Hyatt v. New York, 188 U.S. 691 (1903); Fowler v. Ross, 196 F.2d 25, 35 (D.C. Cir. 1952); Moncrief v. Anderson, 342 F.2d 902 (D.C. Cir. 1964). And in one case, a circuit court concluded that a prisoner transferred by state custodial authorities from Kansas to Wyoming became a fugitive from Kansas for purposes of extradition. Gee v. Kansas, 912 F.2d 414, 419 (10th Cir. 1990) (“Once petitioner was moved outside Wyoming State boundaries, he became a fugitive from justice within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3182.”) (emphasis added). The transferred individual in Gee made no more of a volitional act to leave Kansas than Castro did to leave Minnesota. But the Tenth Circuit still concluded that the accused was a fugitive for purposes of interstate extradition.

NEW: Federal judge in Texas denies effort by Minnesota to force the extradition of ICE agent wanted on four felony counts for shooting a man through a closed door…Says issue isn’t ripe because Gov. Abbott hasn’t denied extradition request yet storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
