Okay, does anyone have a real answer as to why it's so difficult to make appointments at social security administration offices? The online portal forces you to create an account with gov ID, and on the phone it frequently takes over an hour + shouting down the world's least helpful AI "assistant"

This is huge: The court holds that police conducted a "search" for purposes of the Fourth Amendment "when they gained access to Location History data."

Who convinced Trump that he should recreate the Lebanese civil war

'If Israel can't do the job, Syria should,' Donald Trump warns on Lebanon | The Jerusalem Post

SSRN responded to Bainbridge’s complaints with some “clarifications” (or changes, I don’t know which) and they are all good news. The part I cared about — the license— is much better now

SocArXiv@socarxiv.bsky.social · 2mo ago

SocArXiv accepts law papers, as we always have. Some of the bells and whistles he wants we don't have- like ranking and email subscriptions, but those can be built using SocArXiv. We don't have funds or staff to help build that, but law schools do.

Well, this sucks

Government argues that the geofence is ok because the government always gets warrants. But then argues the government doesn't need to get warrants.
