I had a case with a similar puzzle, tangentially: Man A married Woman 1 in West Virginia. He never lived with her. Neither ever lived in West Virginia. Man A came to believe that Woman 1 was cohabitating with, and still married to, Man B, in Illinois.

If you are not familiar with payment of wages laws in Massachusetts, maybe you shouldn’t be in a position to fire people in Massachusetts.

a man who rides a horse is called a horseman

Each time my computer has been “acting weird” it has been IT, unannounced, “remoting in” to change my password and update things. “We thought you were at lunch.” “It was after 5.” Sirs, this is a law firm.

I'm never gonna prance again Guilty hooves have got no rhythm Guess it's easy to pretend That I am not a horse Why’d you ever take me to that discotheque Where I got spooked and trampled people? Oh, I'm never gonna prance again Their screams are haunting me at night

This is great. Either parents will listen and Mamdani gets the credit, or they'll say we don't always have to listen to the government. A win for the youth either way.

In 2029, we are dumping money into humanities. Our goal should be that by 2037, the USDA will pay PhDs not to publish to maintain the markets in poetry and history, etc. Let’s aim for a market-distorting glut of knowledge and culture creation.

Is this how

If you are a fancy out of state lawyer, facing a unique local procedure, please check with local counsel before filing some “emergency” “response.” When you send out five frantic single-spaced pages about an exotic hardship that you made up in your head, you lose all your gravitas.

Caught a glimpse of myself on zoom, caring about my client. This is why I have to stay on the dark side.

I am shocked. www.nycourts.gov/ctapps/Decis...

My assistant just called the best clerk in Suffolk by his first name, in writing. He will not call her out on this; however, I am going to crawl under a rock and die.

Arlington Heights. Cordell Place. Caller says an individual is trying to fight her with nunchucks.

Everybody shhhh my crush is on tv again

And did we all giggle when this happened? Oh, yes.

Is this …

Note: If you fail to take your child on vacation for the first eight years of their life, when you finally do, they may be inconsolable when it is over because they have not developed an internal sense that good things are capable of repetition.

Guillotines are the moderate position

In 1917, a woman named Ethel C. Burrell was treated for, perhaps, a sore throat, at a clinic operated by the “College of Physicians and Surgeons,” a medical school in Boston. She was prescribed medication, which was dispensed by the clinic. She died.

Are there any agencies or other resources available for tenants in these circumstances? These are some kids who feel like they're being taken advantage of by the landlord. Thank you! 3/fin

The tenant is worried that the landlord is going to keep the security deposit, which was what the landlord originally indicated they were going to do. Are there any adverse consequences that a landlord can suffer by keeping the security deposit? Something like multiple damages? 2/

Calling any NY lawyers to point me in the right direction about a landlord tenant issue. Landlord claims that the tenant did not give notice they were not renewing the lease. Tenant disagrees and has a copy of the notice sent to landlord. Landlord is now ignoring the tenant. 1/

My daughter has always been called [x], which is, traditionally, a diminutive of Margaret. Her name is not Margaret. Her actual first name is [y], an old-fashioned and rare name most closely associated with a woman accused of witchcraft in late colonial Massachusetts.

Straight people do have a month. It’s August. Because it’s supposed to be hot and fun. But there’s nothing creative or special going on. Everyone cool has escaped for something better. By the time it’s halfway over, it’s just sticky, sweaty, and uncomfortable, only tolerable with lots of alcohol.

For the first time in my life, I have heard that evil voice that comes, when you have started to lose weight, and it says “good, now let’s continue with that until you can be loved or are completely gone.”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

Me: Sometimes I think I would be happier if I just didn’t want anything. Like it is the reaching for what is out of my grasp that is the source of my pain. Buddhism:…what the fuck, dude.

No shit.

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

How my sext finds you:

How your sext finds me

When you’re from Quincy, you’re never far from home.

This is how I sext:

…this is why you never measure.

And I missed it.

This vacation is convincing me what an inconvenience I am to the world, being functionally monolingual.

Statistically, *do* biglaw firms spend the majority of their time even litigating? And is much of biglaw litigation really about “precedent” and not “my client wants x to happen/does not want x to happen?” This is a real question, not just me being a dick.

There is exactly one solution for ICE.

I am further south (I think) than I have ever been before and there is still an hour left to go!

It’s Friday! Start beef with your co-worker Eat lunch at 10:30 Make everything Mondays problem Be a menace Clock out early

Oh, fuck.

NEW: A group of activists have built an awesome new tool to help immigration attorneys and the general public know when an ICE flight is headed to their area. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

JetBlue switched to Pepsi products?!? They’re now the “whole can of Pepsi” airline?

Security line at Logan was so fast I barely had time to take out my ID. And now we are chilling and reading murder books.

Paramount+ is always trying to find out what would happen if they took a shitton of goodwill built over decades, pissed on it, froze it into an ice pick shape, sharpened, pissed, refroze, sharpened, pissed, refroze, until it became large and sturdy enough to stab themselves in the dick with it.

Tomorrow I will be “on vacation.”
