Meet Mike: the $0 open-source legal AI that just made Harvey ($11B) and Legora ($5.5B+) look costly and useless. One ex Law associate built it in two weeks. It delivers the exact core features these unicorns sell for millions: AI assistants that draft/edit contracts, project workspaces, table-based reviews across hundreds of docs with perfect citations, reusable workflows - all running on your own Claude or Gemini keys. Self-hosted, fully auditable, and data never leaves your firm.

Why this is groundbreaking?

Zero licensing cost: only pay for API calls (pennies vs. $3k–$4k per lawyer/year)

Ironclad security: everything stays behind your firewall. No uploading sensitive files to a startup’s servers

Democratizes Big Law tech: small firms, in-house teams, and solos get feature parity overnight

Mike commoditizes the “app layer” that drove those sky-high valuations of Harvey and Legora. The legal AI gold rush just got disrupted from within by a solo dev who actually practiced law. This kind of initiative should be supported because it puts real efficiency in lawyers’ hands without enriching middlemen, while also handling the general public a priceless tool for free. Star the repo, deploy it, fork it. This is open-source done right - check it out at https://t.co/vXu4zzimjW and contribute directly to the MikeOSS Github by trading the community fan token (all fees generated via volume will accumulate in a Solana address permanently locked to the Github):

March 2026,according to NASA, had a Temperature anomaly of +0.59C vs. 1991/2020 norm (or +1.28C vs 1951/1980) and ranked the 4th hottest March on records behind:
2024 +0.70C
2025 +0.68C
2016 +0.66C

Another record which exceeded that of April:
Insane 91F at Albuquerque.
The most exceptional record though was the Minimum Temperature of 27.8C/82F at San Felipe,Mexico, the highest ever before a JUNE 12th.

In case you missed our latest science briefing, here is the recording from today: https://t.co/JYezMljR99

We checked in on the latest global indicators, as well as discussed the ongoing record heatwave across the West and timing of spring from the National Phenology Network data

Denver International Airport recorded a temperature of 84° this afternoon. This is a new daily record, breaking the previous record of 80° set in 1907.

[NWS Boulder @NWSBoulder]

Denver wasn't alone yesterday.

Shown here: Other long-standing climate sites that tied/broke their monthly record Thursday. A few others have yet to trickle in.

Fort Collins has broken its March record *2 days in a row*, now surpassing its 2012 record (81F) by 6 degrees. #COwx

Hunting for elusive "ghost elephants" https://t.co/CJ0YoIp2Mq

[National Geographic Documentary Films @natgeodocs]

Before the legend of “ghost elephants” in Angola’s highlands, there was Henry—the largest elephant ever recorded, killed for trophy hunting and now preserved in Smithsonian history. His size shaped scientific understanding and still echoes in today’s search for what may remain hidden.

#GhostElephants premieres tonight at 9/8c on National Geographic. Next day on @DisneyPlus and @hulu.

EXTRAORDINARY 106f IN TEXAS
COOP data is in and brings an even more insane record:
41.1C/106F destroys the record of the hottest winter day ever recorded in USA and close to the world record of hottest winter day outside the tropics.

But NW Mexico will break that world record.

Greenland will remember for years this unexistent winter with temperatures,in the central-west,typical of October.

The monthly anomaly this January 2026 in Kitsissorsuit is close to +15C above average which is a
HISTORIC WORLD RECORD

On January 10, 2025, the Biden-Harris administration put a $25 million bounty on Nicolás Maduro for information leading to his arrest or conviction.

Public safety is not a political game.

You do not label someone a narco-dictator one year and then pretend he is no longer a threat the next simply because a different president is in office. That is cynical and irresponsible.

Maduro’s drugs have killed thousands of Americans and continue to endanger our children. Imagine being the parents of 2-year-old Nicholas Feliz Dominici, who died from fentanyl poisoning in a Bronx daycare, and watching this political theater.

America is safer today because Maduro is no longer in power.

Welcome to New York, Nicolás.
