Nothing says “the cruelty is the point” like going back to TNR. Walmart ass font.

I cannot stand listening to John Sauer argue. But you have to respect his willingness to completely ignore any question that he does not want to respond to.

The ice skating portion of oral argument.

I am trying to have a pre-argument night cap in peace, but the Hotel Bar Gods have brought a man who appears to be LinkedIn in human form to disrupt my solitude. He’s talking (to a poor man that isn’t me) about data and building a brand. I’m waiting for him to drop game on SEO.

Starting to think I’ll be here for longer than my 40 minute argument.

I’m not listening to today’s oral arguments as I prepare for my own. I have a feeling I’m going to be really angry as I drive back from Richmond tomorrow.

Fourth Circuit closing at noon today because of snow, as I drive to Richmond for my argument tomorrow…

The ACC.

As a fellow smug white dude, let me tell you. Curt is thrilled.

Is that a resignation???

What’s sovereignty if not countries deciding to stay in the EU? Especially after Brexit.

I can proofread a brief 1 million times, and it never fails: the typo is in the introductory sentence.

We are hitting new lows every day. Holy shit.

Congratulations to Brazil and Tottenham Hotspur #9 Richarlison on making it to the WC knockout out round!

At least now I don’t have to pick between the Spurs and Wake Forest games.

You’ve got to release him. You can’t sell him after that sequence.

Almost 25 years on, do we really need the “due to increased security measures” announcement at the airport?

Oh heavens yes.

If it’s Thanksgiving Eve, it’s oysters time.

The question of the day is which brief will be easiest to write when most of my mind is occupied by pie.

Sleep tight, Thanksgiving Brisket. I’ll see you tomorrow

You can no longer have the “Messi or Ronaldo, who’s the GOAT” discussion without including this picture. Unfortunately, depending on which side of the political spectrum you’re on, it’s definitive either way.

"Raffi I don't understand why you hate depositions"

This type of website has existed on the dark web for years. Could there be any downsides to hosting a website where people pay each other to do crimes?

Libertarians rejoice: we’ve privatized the BLS

Boycott aside, this misunderstands the millennial shopper. Please. Please. Don’t speak to me.

I’m watching my oral argument from earlier today and that can’t be the sound that comes out of my mouth when it makes noises.

In-flight reading. Apropos of nothing.

Already moved to YouTube TV. Oh well…

Please tell me I can switch to YouTubeTV. I really want to watch TV.

Taking a break from The Horrors tonight, thanks

It feels like the First Amendment might prevent you from doing that.

Mississippi wants you to scan your license to access BlueSky. Meanwhile, in the UK you scan your face and it “estimates” your age.

I have one hour of work to do before I leave to go on vacation. I know I should do it today and leave my laptop at home. But I am incapable. I know there’s no universe where I’m not furiously typing away in an airport tomorrow.

I have billed 2400 hours before. I’ve actually done it more than once. It’s totally unsustainable even when the market is good. It’s a professional death sentence if the market is bad. Maybe in big law you can focus on one, single matter that takes up that much time.

Getting in the mood for my UK trip.

I’d like to congratulate me on making it through a four day week, so I can now go on a 10 day vacation.

I can attest @matthewstiegler.bsky.social was tremendously helpful, just like @carlcecere.bsky.social has been in the past.

Maybe I should post on BlueSky more. Obviously trying to save the dwindling post count.

The Fourth Circuit’s circuit mediator wants a mediation statement. This was not part of the deal. No one told me that I would have to go back to drafting mediation statements.

So Bondi is obviously misrepresenting § 546. But let’s not miss the fact that she fired the FAUSA, but that doesn’t seem to nullify her appointment, which is kind of a hilarious outcome.

Thom Tillis can’t even get this right. You can’t congratulate the team that beat the Hurricanes.

Going to start demanding $10,000,000,000 in every case regardless of actual damages.

Them: what did you and your wife give each other for your anniversary? Us:

No. She’s not. What’s she swinging between? The status quo and conservative grievance? That’s not a swing vote. Next question?

The airport at 4:30 AM is a feral place. Who plays corn hole at 4:30?

How many advanced degrees does it take to book a flight with my Delta companion pass? Wife and I have been at it for half an hour with no success.
