Hi y’all. Got suspended for a few days for “suspicious activity.” If you saw anything weird, I was probably hacked. What did I miss?

I’m very drunk after a stressful week. AMA. (Caveat: I may be asleep by the time you see this.)

i just need republicans to explain to me how a ballroom is a better use of taxpayer money than a 30 ft tall mechanical spider that shoots nanowire webs and that donald trump can ride around on

The moment in Starship Troopers by Yes when the bass drops and the guitar solo comes in - 8:30 in this video. I love a slow burn. youtu.be/886Wxionims?...

Goddamn, @jasonkpargin.bsky.social - I did not expect to cry in my car on the way to work listening to the audiobook of I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom, but that’s what happened. Well done!

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

Freezing our asses off at #NoKings Baltimore!

Come ON. Where's the red line for Congressional Republicans before they put a stop to this? We're seeing multiple events every day that leave Watergate in the dust. The Republicans who confronted Nixon after the Saturday Night Massacre are viewed as heroes - is no one willing to be those guys today?

Um… not to overreact, but this seems like an incredibly big deal, right?

It can’t even handle rain or hills.

This is the only award I’m happy Sinners didn’t win. As amazing as I Lied To You is (and it is transcendent), Golden is THE song of the year. #oscars

Andy Jurgensen wins an Oscar for Editing and kisses his husband. My wife: Yes! That’s the way you do it! Make those fuckers watch you kiss!

Feh. Sinners should have won for visual effects too. That shot of the two of them sharing a cigarette is a such a flex. #oscars

OMG Sinners - Raphael Siddiq? Brittany Howard? MISTY F***ING COPELAND?!?!?! #oscars

It’s not often that you get to write a teacher’s note asking that your child be excused from class “to exercise their right to free assembly under the First Amendment to the US Constitution.” #walkout #fuckice #lawsky

This is 100% an AI video, right? I’m not crazy - his face doesn’t look like that. Please tell me I’m not the only one to think that.

My most inconsequential mind-blowing realization is that, in My Cousin Vinny, for Vinny to have asked Mona Lisa those questions on the stand, he must ALSO have known all those things about rear differential and positraction and stuff. #lawsky

Post old memes to confuse young people

I don't know which is the funniest / most irritating side of Legal TikTok - the junior BigLaw associates doing their GRWMs and billable hour vibe checks, or the old white men giving advice like it's still the 80s (like the guy talking about how baby lawyers start with the BMW 3 series). #LawSky

Not even close. It’s the last five minutes of Big Night.

My next opposition brief will 110% include the citation: "Horsefeathers!" Kelly v. Hegseth, No. 1:26-cv-000081, slip op. at 22 (D.D.C. Feb. 12, 2026). @deaconblues1979.bsky.social @anyuse.bsky.social @1dgrn.bsky.social @duchessopie.bsky.social @jmhg.bsky.social

Ah well, I had a good run.

I didn’t know how much a collection of “Melania” reviews would cheer me up. Enjoy!

This is LITERALLY a direct quote from Otto ("don't call me stupid!") in A Fish Called Wanda.

"I voted for Trump because I wanted him to oppress the gays, not me!" I know we need to have a big tent to welcome back those who regret their vote, but it's difficult to have any empathy for someone who is this misinformed and hateful.

Anyone else have trouble sleeping because your dreams are too mentally active - full of made-up legal problems, arguments with people, and stress about obligations that don’t exist? Any advice? #lawsky

I profoundly wish these people were still capable of feeling shame.

This is the right response. Separately - Why does ICE even have service weapons? They are not trained law enforcement officers in any sense. This was murder and people need to be arrested.

Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ. I will fight anyone who tries to "both sides" this administration.

Well, I guess the Trump Admin will get some experience running nationalized universal healthcare.

Well, that’s a huge bucket of cold water on anyone maintaining hope that this year would be any less of an unmitigated clusterfuck than 2025. #Venezuela

This administration’s bigotry is exceeded only by its abject stupidity.

What the fuck is Nate talking about?

Just when I think I can no longer be shocked by this administration, Dan Bovino goes on Newsmax in full-out Nazi cosplay.

This is the funniest point/counterpoint I’ve seen in a long time.

Intrusive thought of the day: What must it be like to have a life where people are just happy to see you?

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

Introduce yourself with artists you've seen multiple times: Jonatha Brooke (6) Barenaked Ladies (5) Ben Folds (4) Moxy Früvous (4) Indigo Girls (4) Billy Joel (4) Lots of 2’s - Elton John, TMBG, Ani DiFranco, Sting, OK Go, Susan Werner, Stevie Nicks, Rufus Wainwright, Brandi Carlile, Nickel Creek

Why oh why would Microsoft Word change the default so that footnotes aren’t included in word count unless you click a box? Thought I was done and now have another 1400 words to cut. #lawsky

Dershowitz isn’t the big fish I care about, but regardless, this is what we in the legal profession call “very bad.”

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through the Kitchen Day! Don’t forget to smash your clocks!

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Is this in question? The entire existence of ICE can be attributed to Cheney’s influence over GWB after 9/11 that led to the creation of DHS.

Never pass up a history lesson from Derek Guy. When Republicans talk about bringing back coal jobs, they want to benefit the bosses, not the workers.

I'm having flashbacks to 2002, when many of us were saying "Homeland Security? I'm not sure that's a great idea..."

Un-fucking-believable.
