It’s. The. Little. Kitty. and she’s spectacular

The space between ‘I’m never getting my comeuppance’ and ‘here comes my comeuppance’ is infinitesimal with this cat.

Home. On time. And in time to water the front roses (we are in a serious mini drought; after a nice wet summer, we’ve had nothing for three weeks) and then it’s advanced brief writing class cuz I make terrible life choices.

Grumps waiting for fresher water than the fresh water I just put in her bowl. Justice might not be kind but it sure is fancy

Associate Justice Regular Face Blacky Whitey aka Regs has become a rogue judge, overturning the precedent of not going gongy gongy.

After Sunstein answers a Chotiner question about Kissinger & human rights by saying Kissinger liked Sunstein’s Star Wars book: “Well, the next time someone brings up a terrible anecdote about Cambodia or Vietnam, I will definitely drop the Star Wars story to show that people have two sides.”

Regular Face Blacky Whitey aka Regs is bored with this study session.

My law school study group is ready for CivPro

Shame we spent so much time last year in law school on Humphrey’s Executor about quasi-independent agencies and Congress and the President. This Supreme Court is ripping up any precedent that acts as a speed bump to this particular president. What a coincidence.

Make sure to remember this 21st night of September

Oh the Blacky Whiteys. Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey aka Grumps, and Regular Face Blacky Whitey aka Regs. They exhilarate me with their lovable regularity

Here is a great picture of the double wide catio they built Genius! And so caring!

Phone reminds us of February 2021, after the first of two surgeries to fix Big Eyes’ back legs. Tough times. When she came to us, she had to drag herself along. She immediately bonded with everyone: luckily the surgeries worked. She’s now a punching assassin, running around so happy & healthy.

Our Lady of Persistent Hibiscus has blessed us this day

Big Eyes et al are not really helping with this appellee motion draft.

Story time with Grumpy Face Blacky Whiteys and Regular Face Blacky Whitey. They are wonderful

This judge is not buying my argument

Home again. But earlier I got to have some reading time with my two favorite legal minds, Chief Justice Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey and Associate Justice Regular Face Blacky Whitey. They ran over and went to their respective sides of me, and got their required head rubs.

Today Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey aka Grumps had her checkup at the vet. She is very healthy, and the staff said she was so sweet and cute. They also said Grumps is a great name; evidently Theresa refused to put Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey down…outrageous.

Hey everyone, this is the destruction of the DOJ and the civil service in one statement.

I offer you a Comfort Creamsicle 1.

Home. We don’t have to be this way.

Apropos of nothing, I really like the iOS26 update for the iPhone. I see what people are complaining about but I actually like it. Some missteps in the UX with the camera app (don’t like searching for other options) but the overall OS is gorgeous and helpful.

Lots of reactions to the blatant and accelerating unconstitutional and anti-democratic actions by the administration. You can get mad. You can get sad. You can get scared. I’m getting a law degree. And then I’m getting started.

Home again. Long days this week. My look when I realized it’s only Wednesday.

Just so everyone is clear, this right here is what an actual violation of the First Amendment looks like. When the head of the FCC says a company needs to do something about someone who displeased the administration or lose its license, that’s no joke unconstitutional

The unveiling of the official court portrait of Chief Justice Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey aka Grumps

Home. And Bakey wanted to remember Robert Redford by doing his version of Redford’s epic film Jeremiah Johnson. The Baked Potato braved the elements and hiked dozens of feet to honor Redford and my dad’s favorite film by far, Jeremiah Johnson.

Impossible to overstate how much my father loved Robert Redford’s movie Jeremiah Johnson. My dad so badly wanted an epic life, with grand vistas and even grander meaning. I’m trying to live that life for him and for all of us.

Rest in Peace, Robert Redford. You left such a positive and lasting mark on so many. And that’s the point of all of this.

Chief Justice Grumpy Face Blacky Whitey will entertain your motion now.

Judges to the left of me Judges to the right Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Home. Happy to be home. Back at it tomorrow.

At this moment we need to remember that it’s crazy what we could’ve had. Here’s REM doing the most stunning version of their song Country Feedback. This song is about you. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LAhk...

Evening arrives with a dusky sigh, and all our light is from within as all our worry is from without

The Appeals Court did not like my brief appealing the trial court’s granting of summary judgment on behalf of the defendant Blacky Whitey et al. My original complaint was to cut back on Temptations crunchy treats. So now it’s on to the Supreme Court…

Midday interlude

Law school homework at my age on a Sunday as gorgeous as this is a crime against humanity.

Judges to the left of me, judges to the right of me.

Goodnight to most, from all at Skinnerville, where Our Lady of Persistent Hibiscus wants us to stop being so ugly and dumb.

Death blooms among the blossoms of beauty

Photographing history’s greatest monster is risky. He is mercurial, if you wish to murder the word ‘mercurial’ with a club of understatement.

The Justices of the Supreme Court of Skinnerville during my Faretta hearing to see if I’m competent to decide to represent myself ‘pro per’ in my upcoming trial of not providing sufficient head rubs when under legal obligation to do so. I’m not optimistic however this turns out.
