They remembered us. This is weird.

Criminal law is not my area, but I think this is bad.

From the time we left the house to the time we pulled back into our driveway after voting was 8 minutes. If you're in #TN07, you have time to vote. #aftynforcongress

Requesting that we only post #aurora posts for the next three nights.

#aurora from middle Tennessee

The message of these east coast races seems to be affordability affordability affordability. Not a single word about No Kings?

We went grocery shopping today. I needed to pick up some almond butter. The regular almond butter was 4.49 (Justin’s brand). If you wanted vanilla or chocolate almond butter is was 11.49. 💀

It is Halloween and my inbox just had 666 unread messages in it.

Everyone really needs to know that SNAP benefits could absolutely get paid next week, and should get paid next week. The contingency money is there. It was congressionally authorized for this purpose. USDA said they would pay it. But Tr*mp called Brooke Rollins and told her not to.

Thank you so much for supporting @nashvillebanner.bsky.social! The work they are doing is so important.

Johnson's going to be in a fucking pickle if the GOP candidate wins the TN-7 special before the shutdown is over. (AZ not being the only place lacking representation at the moment).

In case you need a little light in your life at the moment: I've been tutoring an elementary school student whose parents speak little English, since she was in second grade. She's now in 5th. When we started it was a struggle. Next week she'll be recognized for her high marks in the 1st semester.

Love it when SCOTUS gets to decide what "regularly" means.

My tiny town of 19k in the rural South. And we got a lot more thumbs up than thumbs down. #NoKings

Wearing a mask to #NoKings tomorrow because I'm sick as a dog.

TAKE ACTION: The Election Assistance Commission is accepting public comments on this request for a “show-your-papers” requirement. Will you speak out against this attack on the freedom to vote? bit.ly/4ngSyyl

“The contract’s already signed.”

Meta was tired of getting dinged with fines from the data protection authority in Ireland, so it staffed the office with friendlies.

Last night the conversation going on behind me in the Dublin pub where I had dinner was about how absurd it is for ChatGPT to try sound like an Irish person and I’ve been smiling about that ever since.

We had friends from England staying with us last week and yesterday I went into the guest bathroom for the first time since they left and discovered they left us these. DY.ING.

That bastion of partisanship, the USPTO.

Just read the announcement from our local federal court that all civil litigation involving the US government as a party is suspended during the shutdown. Nice for the government, isn't it.

ICE raided my town today. They went to the City Administrative Building and grabbed scores of men who were there to pull permits for construction jobs. They went to the heart of the construction and renovation business in our tiny town and destroyed it and dozens of families.

If we're going to talk with our dollars, we should probably all resubscribe.

Back in the halcyon days of Twitter my law partner and I used it to talk about IP almost exclusively, with the occasional snarky view on life. I guess I don't feel like Bluesky is quite ready for that. I don't know if it's just the times or the platform, but it's politics here all the time.

I was recommended to a new client by ChatGPT today. This was a first.

Canceled Disney and Hulu, because America.

I really picked the best week to be (almost) completely offline, didn’t I.

Does this help, y’all?

Guys I’m on vacation until next Saturday. If you see me in here, rap my knuckles with a stick.

the night before you leave for vacation, ALL the hardest client questions come up.

Welcome to your new gated church community.

My heart goes out to any guy who was planning to propose this weekend.

Must-pass quiz for TN 7th Candidates, and also your periodic reminder that the TN 7th has no representation in Congress at the moment because Mark Green decided to sod off to Africa to get away from his pissed off wife instead of doing the job he took an oath to do.

Opposing counsel just told me he wants to "socialize the concept." Is that a thing that concepts do?

We saw your radioactive wasp nests. We raise you.

Ugh I've got a publishing client who have to try to chase these guys down all the time.

Moms can't be mayors, guys.

The Boring Company announced on July 28 that they had reached an "intent to partner" with the State of TN to build another Tesla tunnel. The press release said it was "officially kicking off the public process to evaluate routes and engage community stakeholders." They broke ground on August 11th

In case #trademarksky needed more proof that the ID verification system is hot moldy garbage

How badly am I gonna regret the four pieces of garlic naan I just ate? It was a LOT of garlic.

The correct answer is The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, of course.

I had a client a few years ago who wanted to start a "dating safety" app. After we went through the issues, he decided not to do it. These things are just fraught even if you do follow your own privacy policy. Tea didn't. If we still have a functioning FTC, they should be paying attention.

I keep watching this video and thinking about the absolute superpower lawyers can have in a situation like this. “Soy tu abogado, si?” And suddenly we’re an “interested party.” Where’s your warrant, bub.

Oh Daddy won't you take me down to Muhlenberg County

If the State wants to run CBS, make the State pay for it.
