I am increasingly feeling like this has to be a bad dream.
The entire #GOP has been falling in line behind #Trump and openly promising increasingly unhinged anti-American behaviors as a group both now in reaction to the convictions and in their fever dream future of a “trifecta" in January.

IRS: the new w-4 form greatly simplifies the tax withholding and adds clarity
Great, so I update to the new form, went through their lengthy online form and used the random numbers it spit out and my witholding went up by 80%. Clearly it's wrong.
I have no idea how to fine tune my withholdings from here. The website tells me forms downloaded before May 25 (i.e. mine) had a bug. Filling it out now is thrown way off by my ridiculous withholding this paycheck and I have no idea …

Pulitzer-prize winning Mississippi Today appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court following a lower court order to turn over documents amid a defamation suit (Adam Ganucheau/Mississippi Today)

Editor’s note: A judge ordered us to turn over privileged documents. We’re appealing to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
Editor's note: Mississippi Today asks Supreme Court to overturn an order that threatens constitutional rights of journalists and all citizens.

My oldest daughter just had her piano recital, and everyone is happy with how it went. Really proud of her!
I remember doing them myself when I was a kid and hated it so much. She is on the same boat. It definitely increases the pressure to practice short term, but does it help with sticking with the practice for the long term? I don't know, I have mixed feelings seeing her get all worried before it. But then again, a bit of stress like that is good in life, no? Pondering...

In an appellate decision concurrence, a judge tries to figure out the “plain meaning” definition of “landscaping” and wonders if ChatGPT is an appropriate tool for that purpose. I dig into that argument in my latest post. Oh, and there’s a missing-comma tangent.

On Using LLMs for Term Definitions, or In Which a Circuit Judge Asks the Wrong Question - Words by Wes
For a side project that I really haven’t announced yet, I have a running query on CourtListener for filings related to generative AI. Last week, an appellate decision in Snell v. United Specialty Insurance Company turned up. It’s not a GenAI case. It’s an insurance case where the insurance company…

New York's top court declines to hear Trump's appeal of gag order in hush money case
New York’s top court has declined to hear Donald Trump’s gag order appeal, leaving the restrictions in place following his felony conviction last month. The Court of Appeals on Tuesday found the order does not raise “substantial” constitutional issues that would warrant its intervention. The decision is the latest legal setback for Trump, who has repeatedly railed against the gag order, which prevents him from commenting on witnesses, jurors and others who were involved in the hush mone…
