THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH

I'm mad at everything in the whole world except my cats. Here are my cats.

The worst part about this "everything must be AI" trend is that companies could just refer to these things as automation tools and I wouldn't think twice about it. But as soon as they call AI, I'm like why are you on this stupid bandwagon for something you don't even need it for.

Something very fitting about Atty Wang, a child of immigrants who is a US citizen because she was born here, arguing a case about citizenship of people born here.

Denver, CO to Appleton, WI - we went via Rockford so about 1,130. Not straight through. Also Madison to Dallas and back two days later; a hair under 1k each way. Straight through both ways, but there were 4 of us to split the driving, which helped.

Having the sort of week that is really best summarized by getting a flat tire at 530 on a Friday.

I kinda miss the days when blizzard warnings would have earned me a snow day from work.

Interesting question! Comedies: probably Much Ado. Tragedies: Coriolanus - in part because I enjoy exploration of characters who aren't meant to be sympathetic to the audience.

Huh.

Remembered I still have to pay my student loans this month. Not quite sure how to feel about the fact that Mohela and/or the Dept of Education don't know what year it is

Hmmmmmm. Intro to Studio Art Intro to Acting Language and Culture (Cultural Anthro tutorial) British Nationalism in Music New Testament Greek I thought I'd pick things that might surprise people but I don't think anyone would actually be surprised by any of those, heh.

They better NOT be. They should be united behind ending ICE

So, this whole "Microsoft uploading everything into Copilot" seems like it could have some client confidentiality implications.

Hi, I'm a pulmonary embolism, 8 years ago today.

Alto clef is the best clef. Also, woolen-spun > worsted-spun for sweaters

It is unAmerican that the football games are only available on Netflix. (It's really the most American thing to have to pay to watch traditional sportsball on a national holiday, but I said what I said)

Man I'm glad I'm playing a concert tonight instead of watching tv

Yeah I was really well positioned to enter into negotiations with the local hospital when I was awfully close to dying in their ER. Sure, let me just call the ICU at the other hospital and see if they're cheaper!

Tech curse strikes again, I have bork my ISP, but I got a slightly cheaper plan out of it so win all around I guess

2011 WI Act 10 Took the LSAT four months later.

Lots of talk about the downgrade of "professional" degrees. Not enough about how $200k isn't enough for most of the programs that are left. At UW-Madison, you could do law for under $200k (if you are a WI resident) but not med/vet/pharm. How dare the poors try to do anything at all, I guess.

I am irrationally irritated by the fact that the city of Green Bay has its Christmas lights already out. It is not even Thanksgiving.

Princess Liliana Tallulahbelle, Destroyer of Worlds, would like the world to know she has the cutest toe beans.

Will have been in this job 6 years this week. Going to a conference; best part will be maybe I'll get to grab dinner with my parents. Everything has been real hard this year. It's hard to celebrate it, much as I would like to.

Had a meeting today in which an old retired attorney got chippy with me...and the head of a state board, who is a woman in her 40s and therefore cannot be trusted to know anything even though she's been confirmed by the state senate and has been in her position for a number of years. 1/

It is not compromise if only one side is ever giving in.

Here we go. Buyback time.

Well-intentioned person sends me a heads up legislative action alert, not knowing I wrote half of it It's that kind of day I guess

My personal top tech tip: BCC is your friend. I do love a good Midwestern Nice "yeah I sure did CC your boss," don't get me wrong, but I sure didn't need to be getting the reply-alls on this particular 100+ person meeting invite.

Istg I would like to go one day without the WI legislature trying to make my job harder

The world is on fire but I can make pretty things

Today has been one of those days where I just have to put my head down and keep reminding myself that I can apply for PSLF in a month

Super love when people take up my time with questions they should be asking their lawyer because they don't want to pay for their lawyer's time, and then get mad when I tell them they need to ask their lawyer

I'm currently in a town so small it doesn't have a Culver's, and in Wisconsin, that says something.

My dad is a 77-year-old autistic man. Diagnosed ~3 years ago. This is just ridiculous.

Precious baby intern has not had con law yet and I can't decide whether that's good or bad, under the circumstances.

My new intern was born after 9/11 😭 I feel v old.

This is a conversation I have with myself every day. The state law stuff I deal with doesn't stop just because nationally everything is a mess.

/4 SCOTUS has lost the presumption of regularity -- the mandate of the legal heavens -- through its shadow docket actions, which by invoking SCOTUS' equitable discretionary powers have obliterated the pretext that SCOTUS is merely calling balls and strikes, merely calling lines where they see them.

I like a lot of things about my workplace. The inability to comprehend BCC is not one of them.

The NRA supporting the rights of the trans community was not on my 2025 bingo card but I'll take it.

I have an unread message in Teams Chat and Teams won't tell me where it is 😭

Like Pritzker would stoop to Doninos when Giordanos exists Come on now.

I once responded to someone making a graphic sexual assault threat that he could come at me and maybe get crunched like a brotato chip. I got modded. He didn't.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

Ugh I’m so frustrated with Cassidy. He showed you who he was. You knew, you grilled him on this extensively. And then you voted for him. You did this, Bill Cassidy.

Devil doesn’t need more advocates and yall are never as clever as you think. Boring.

Pritzker has been standing up and giving speeches and doing the work for months.

See, before today I didn't really want to burn an American flag. Now it's basically my duty as an American
