This was all part of a footballing conspiracy whereby a Chelsea fan @seanjones.org and a Newcastle fan fed David's sense of omnipotence that led to his ultimate downfall.
Sean Jones KC@seanjones.org · 3d ago@richardmoorhead.bsky.social Saw this in the @theathletic.com profile of Pannick and thought of you!
Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?” Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!

The old line that analytic philosophy is answering questions that come naturally to toddlers via methods that come naturally to lawyers remains undefeated.
noam@noamchompers.bsky.social · 5d agoIt is sorta a funny thing about philosophy that the questions are inherently fascinating and exciting—there’s a reason people wind up talking about this stuff in dorm rooms—and the best methods we have for investigating them involve being as tedious and pedantic and boring as possible
Semi-serious question. Why do Cross Country Train toilets smell like a bucket of chargrilled piss?
One of the bits of my working life about which I am proudest was to be able in some v small ways to support @zeldaperkins.bsky.social in her #metoo work. I will never forget watching some very accomplished women fall apart as they told their stories. Heartbreaking, rage inducing, powerful, true.
Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · 11mo agoThis idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke... Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant
My quick thoughts on Carter-Ruck and Amersi v SRA. How we got here, what it means, what should be done...
Privilege in whose interest?
If the judge in Carter-Ruck and Amersi v. SRA (a shag marry avoid trio for the ages) had wanted to take the case in a different direction, he might have started off with a quote from the original litigation which is the subject of the complaint. In that case, the judge found: 240. Nevertheless, there are several aspects of the conduct of the Claimant – many of which…

1. The High Court has ruled against the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) following a major challenge by Carter-Ruck and Mohamed Amersi to the regulator's investigative powers. 🧵
I agree with this. And the Gov should already have a plan.
Dan Neidle@danneidle.bsky.social · last wk.The SRA may appeal - I can't comment on prospects because it's not my area. but the Government shouldn't run the risk of having the solicitors' regulator unable to regulate the profession properly. The Government should change the law.
This is an incredibly damaging judgment. Cases that will be affected include the PO Scandal investigations.
Dan Neidle@danneidle.bsky.social · last wk.A new High Court judgment has blown a large hole in the regulation of the solicitors' profession. The Solicitors Regulation Authority will now have great difficulty investigating SLAPP, and other cases where a client's solicitor harms other parties.

Oh yes. Much better exit poll in Sweden than most recent polls were suggesting. And also the fecking Sweden Democrats trailing behind the Social Democrats and the Moderates only in third place.
Just caught a bit of ABC at the R2 in the Park. MF can still sing, but lordy do they not look like a band of US Congresssmen?
So I'd hope the government looks carefully at the impact on the smallest businesses. Our report suggests an allowance - e.g. a business can simply keep the first £1,000 of tourist tax they collect.
