The way the adults who live with me will innocently ask me what’s for dinner

Translate "Hail Victory" into German. Go on, Google translate is right there waiting.

I told Mr. R “I’d like to watch, um, Balloon Face? With that woman from prison” And friends, he knew what I meant 🩷🤣

CBS is cooked. Sorry to all the CSI fans

Go look at the moon like right now

I am going to hold your hand while I tell you that Congress hasn’t managed to raise minimum wage since 2007, so let that set your expectations

Breaking: All International law and constitutional law classes will no longer have final exams. You will be graded on reflection papers, as there's just no way to put together an exam rubric at this time. #Satire

oh important info from our (1y 4mo) washing machine repair guy yesterday: 1. The capacitor can shake itself loose & dangle under your machine, that’s what the clanking noise is, it’s LIVE don’t touch it 2. Should spring for a Speed Queen next time bc everything else is crap

If we keep this shit up, eventually someone is gonna try to stop us, and we’re not gonna like it

ok but when Andy Warhol tried this, SCOTUS said it was a copyright violation

Gwyneth Paltrow is unpleasant but she’s not THAT bad

Cover reveal. It's about how & why colonies/states controlled international & domestic migration until 1888, why in the late 19th c the feds took over, & what it was like for politically disfavored groups to live under that arrangement of power. You can't understand voluntary migration history 1/

Again, please explain why regular product liability law doesn’t apply to this software

no one wants to work anymore

New Yorkers may be interested to know that a Z-Man is the name of a famous sandwich at Joe’s KC Barbecue, one of Bourdain’s “places to eat before you die”

This is why courts *must* treat matters of history as fact questions, requiring proof by the usual methods & standards for experts

There is value! In doing fun things!

snakes leave behind whole skins. all manner of flying creatures, not just butterflies, do them one better, whole new selves from wriggling worms. rocks into gems. mystics die to the flesh to be reborn in the spirit. rebirth is the rule, not the stray exception, if we can grasp it

Even kings who thought they were deities or chosen by deities didn’t behave like this.

I’m making cheesecake & I want to talk about this bowl. Does anyone else have one of these?I’ve had it for, god, 35 years & just learned what it is for

Random thought (and probably a terrible one): But the USPS should become an ISP, in addition to its mail delivery service. The basic idea is that access to information delivery is essential. The Venn Diagram of where it is hardest to access internet and mail is basically a circle.

Possibly my best clothes purchase ever: Many years ago, I splurged on black, wide-leg, silk blend velvet trousers. They have a little stretch so they always fit. Black tie, semi-formal, or pajamas? Who can say

so if we are going out on New Year’s Eve, what are we wearing?

There's also no requirement that artists associate their art with politics or ideas they don't agree with. It's a difficult principle to stick to--everybody has bills to pay, but artists have traditionally made it.

McArdle is trying to have a deep discussion about what artists owe to Art, but she has made a foundational error: She’s confusing Art with Commerce.

this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read from McMegan, I think, which is a remarkable achievement

*shares amazing thread in Judaism* ⬇️⬆️

I could make it work in a lot of places if I had to

There’s no question in my mind that a lot of “legal culture” is vicarious trauma…

Would like to see this research in lawyers, especially those who work in the criminal justice system.

I was on a flight from NYC to KC with Kate Spade & I said “Oh hi!” bc I thought she was her sister, who I worked with

If you really loved America, you’d insist on universal healthcare: Freedom to start a business, to switch jobs as the market demands, to stay home with small children

I’m a literal lawyer and I cannot manage dealing with a traditional HMO. Much less adding HSA/FSA claims on top of it.

Yes and, everything else aside, we know high deductible plans are bad policy bc they incentivize avoiding care until it’s an emergency

Theoretically this is a plan. Everyone gets a high deductible policy with tax credits for a health savings account to pay those deductibles if needed. But, how does this control costs? How does this prevent insurers from denying care? How does this eliminate bankruptcy? It’s insufficient.

Goddammit, let’s note that all these electeds are on the best federal health insurance & Rep Crenshaw gets VA benefits & he’s eligible for USAA, too. why is the GOP healthcare plan always just “save your money.” That’s self-insurance. How much do I need to set aside, DAN

re: Wake Up Dead Man. IMO the line from Chief Geraldine, “So, what, facts schmacts, you believe in God and all this mishigas is real” is an answer key to the movie

ok so @rianjohnson.bsky.social rickrolled us all

Today started at 55°, dropped to now 23° with extreme wind gusts, a snow squall just blew through, and will you just please look at that sky. #kswx

HOW CAN IT BE

While he didn't go to an elite law school, he was, like many successful lawyers, a very good college debater at UNC.

for non-lawyers: A basic skill we teach law students, starting w 1Ls, is how to deal w a judge’s question: “If we decide XYZ, do you lose?” It is a fundamental skill, it’s not magic

What? Be polite to a judge? They didn't teach me that in law school either. "Look, 'you honors,' if that really is your name, I'm right and you're just too stupid to accept it. I suppose your betters on the Court of Appeals will listen to my ironclad logic."

One time this judge was obviously not interested in my argument but it sounded like he would approve my motion on different grounds and so I rolled with it and he granted it and then everyone stood up and clapped with tears in their eye

Me, I go into court, I lay out my case and if the court doesn't agree I just restate my case until they rule for me.
