Thursday Morning Link Dump

Good morning everyone who actually takes the time to read this stuff.  

Two trials in the past two days and one tomorrow mean that it's time for another round of interesting things to read while you drink your morning coffee or tea.  

"Manspreading" and putting your feet up on a subway seat are now a crime in NYC, according to Gothamist and Overlawyered. 

If that doesn't suit your fancy, here's a lovely little piece by Scott Greenfield at Simple Justice eviscerating a VICE writer for making people stupider over Title IX and the First Amendment.  TRIGGER WARNING: It makes fun of trigger warnings. 

Lowering the Bar has a nice educational list of people and places Donald Trump has sued. 

Heard about the Sweet Cakes Bakery gag order yet?  Interested in finding out whether said gag order is unconstitutional?  Popehat has a brand new "Lawsplainer" for you. 

That's all for this morning. Time to go actually adult.  

Monday Morning Newsarama

Hope everyone made it through the holiday weekend safe and sound without needing legal intervention.  

Here's some stuff for your perusal over morning coffee. 

1. Tumblr is subject to many a copyright troll, but the biggest seems to be a dude who claims he channels a space alien.  (via Overlawyered)

2. You ever get summoned for jury duty, you can have a couple of options on how you respond.  You can show up and perform your civic duty, you can figure out some way to get excused during voir dire, or you can behave like this judge and send an irate lawyer out to sue everyone. (Via Lowering The Bar) 

3. I'm not endorsing this book in any way, nor am I suggesting you purchase it--I just find it wild that you can buy a legal text in my lifetime called "Colorado Marijuana Laws and Regulations." (Via Above the Law)

4. Finally for the morning, an interesting piece by Mark W. Bennett on Revenge Pr0n Statutes and Confidentiality. 

Have a good Monday.  Off to trial prep.
