I'm not as smart as most of the other lawyers commenting on this settlement offer letter, so I'll just snip the footnote that would give me nightmares if the letter had been sent to me

“No kings” I shout from the protest then head home to make a casserole with a recipe I get from my favorite pro-kings media outlet and do a fun word game that funds the king’s campaign for a third term

so if I have the sequence of events right here, Russia took some photos via satellite of this U.S. air base in KSA, they gave the photos to Iran, and Iran didn't just damage 1 of 16 American E-3 AWACS craft but hit it right in its moneymaker

in the year of our Gritty 2026, if you have voluntarily installed this app on your phone, boy, I don't know where to start with what to tell you

hey, everybody, quit posting that AI slop photo from way overhead supposedly in Philly -- the weather is actually clear and sunny also trans rights are human rights

hey, Third Circuit party people: I think this is the first AI case in the circuit court orders a reprimand; dissent (Roth) disagreed that Pa. R.P.C. 3.3 wasn't violated and would have gone further with discipline because lawyers should know better by now www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/242...

Lindsey Graham is a ghoul and a traitor who makes me wish I were a believer in just rewards AND ALSO the ad is homophobic trash and if you think this is the type of ad the Democrats should be producing I bet you'd vote for Platner in the Maine primary if you could

love our support staff to the moon and back but so help me, when I ask the front desk to take a message, this means 100% the opposite of "direct the caller to my voicemail"

early spring in Philadelphia: Rita's offering water ice early spring in St. John's: snowstorm dumping water ice

worst part about WFH when the courts and office are closed due to a snowstorm is reading the news and knowing, just knowing that there are the fixin's for a bourbon and Coke waiting for me in the next room no wait, that's the best part

another day, another lawyer letter with absolutely no text, other than the signature block, on the final page, WTF

what law professor needs to be on top of Model Rule 3.3 when instead they could be teaching "advanced seminars in law and moral/political theory"? christ, these people will turn me into one of those "third year of law school isn't actually necessary" types law.stanford.edu/barbara-fried/

these people don't seem to understand that we're in peak spring break season, the summer holidays are fast approaching, and their own constituents travel by air

2 pilots dead due to an air traffic controller error at LGA; YUL - LGA isn't my usual route to enter/depart the U.S. but it's one of the options (like YHZ - EWR) I keep in my back pocket for emergency trips great fucking job, DOGE voters www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

Is that the Iwo Jima which didn't need to be taken because it served no larger military objective? The one where due to poor planning the marines storming the island were killed in droves? The one where the American Navy at least had actual air supremacy?

baaaaaaaah, fucking goddamned FB, I found out only just now that an acquaintance of mine passed away in early December

I've never felt better about failing the write on competition for my school's law review

it is a mystery as to why Tories are crossing the floor

lawyers' names are still missing except for the Court of Appeal, w/ no explanation from courts or Law Society; this will be all fun and games until lawyers start missing appearances in significant numbers and matter after matter is delayed while the clerks try to reach them on the phone

happy 23rd anniversary of my not thinking ahead as to what I would have to do 6 and a half years later when I had to face the character 'n' fitness questions for my Pennsylvania bar admission archive.ph/YvCrF (NYTimes)

one of my English teachers in high school warned us that this is why you indicate numbers in words or in numerals, but never with both, unless you're drafting a cheque -- it has taken me until today, 40-some-odd years later, to actually see one of these in the wild

He's a Nazi, but he's OUR Nazi, huh?

Canada has no leverage -- no country has any leverage -- against the U.S. right now because the president will move the fulcrum at any time, lawfully or not, pursuant to a treaty or not, with no check from the Congress or the Supreme Court the only leverage is not to play www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

my Bsky feed is 50% love Abughazaleh and 50% hate Abughazaleh, nothing in between, and I think this is why I've only ever lived on the coasts of this continent

great reading after today's all-hands meeting where the lawyers were encouraged to make more use of the AI capabilities in our practise management software and LEXIS

NYT: both sides purchase shoes for their cabinet members, who are too scared to not wear them even if they're too big

Guys, this subnautica case is incredible. I’m reading now and will clip here. I know nothing about the issues - all I know about the game is from the opinion. Ok, bigger company buys video game studio, and promises founders a bonus for their new game. /1 courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Dow...

"great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff" Marcus Aurelius would like a word

half-listening to a completely unrelated news report on the radio while reading this post and my brain mashes them up to "flash freeze risk continuing for the next 3 years"

got a bee in my bonnet about finding a particular case from Phila Municipal Court from early 1900s and there have been very few days when I've more missed living in Center City, able to stroll on over to Jenkins where I could paw through an old volume of Philadelphia reports to find this

they took the lawyers' names off the online daily court docket (court calendar) jer-remote.justice.gov.nl.ca/index.php?wd... -- this removes one of my backup strategies to make sure I've calendared all my forthcoming court appearances and filing deadlines, OMG
