Turned on the light in the kitchen and saw a two inch creature scurry up and into (somehow?) my oven. Hoping it's just a centipede!

Nothing compares to the suffering of a senator whose flight back from Napa was just canceled.

We are driving the Winnepeg house guest to the Blue Line to the airport and I'm pretty sure I have found his 3:55pm ORD>YYZ flight and that it's three hours delayed but I am not bringing this up because I am ready for him to be gone.

As someone who doesn't have to leave the house until maybe even Wednesday, I'm cool with this.

Couldn’t resist

We always ask visitors what cuisine they want that they can't get at home and the Winnepegger chose sushi but then was bad with chopsticks? Life is just full of mysteries.

The French brought a delegation of Iroquois to Paris to meet Louis XV and the Iroquois were baffled that the poor people just starved in the streets instead of taking the food from the rich people.

Holy shit

I decided I wanted a table for my home office that was a very specific size and I have some scrap 2x4s in the garage so I'm trying my hand at some rough carpentry. All fingers present and accounted for still. Amazing how much smaller 33" looks in the empty garage then it does inside the apartment

It's incredibly difficult. It's like living under military occupation. It's like living in a horror movie. I am perpetually unclear how much people in other places are receiving accurate specific information about what it's like.

her husband asked about my deal and I was like OKAY MY WIFE DOESN'T LIKE THIS WAY OF EXPLAINING IT BUT 500 YEARS AGO IN SWITZERLAND

Yes riding the bus takes 10 minutes longer than driving but you can post the whole time

Had exactly one beer and got into a conversation about how we take over the firm, again. Inshallah we do it

The median voter knows one thing about politics and its that Donald Trump is president, and they are such Rand fetishists they don't understand this

I might be a multi-millionaire in Canada. I haven't checked the exchange rate in a while.

They should bring in an I.T. guy to testify about how long it will take because I have never heard of an I.T. guy lying about how technology works.

If you have time to help a cop like this you have time to stop by my house and help me rake leaves

My boss is next to me, catching up on emails. I can see his inbox. 59,364 unread emails in his inbox.

Listening to a panel discussion about a new Illinois law on NDAs and there's a weird inconsistency in it, and I wasgoing to ask a question of the panel, but then I realized I can maybe someday get the jump on some other lawyer who hasn't spotted it 😈

Imagine wondering what you're going to eat for dinner because you lost your SNAP benefits, and then you can't even get home for dinner because your flight is canceled! This is Trump's America.

You can't file charges with the NLRB now. They're closed.

The American Arbitration Association is now offering A.I. arbitration for documents-only construction cases. I will be very interested to see how this goes, assuming litigants opt for this. www.adr.org/ai-arbitrato...

I actually think Ross Douthat has a good interviewing style, how he uses gentle disagreement to draw out the subject's ideas. It's just that he should be interviewing smart people instead of stupid people.

Amazing how "wokeness is because managers fear Gen Z employees" and then when asked to give an example it's just the company considering the implications of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Perfect timing, C is going to dinner with her college roommate tonight!!

They do directly answer this question later in the article! It's the "Hitler is cool" wing, which may not surprise you. Mazower has a new book about the history of antisemitism and I'm currently in the library hold queue for it.

This is the highest median income neighborhood in the city.

Thinking about that guy I met at a party whod dropped out of UofC to do what I'd long suspected was possible: earn a full time income growing mushrooms at his house. I wonder now if he gets health insurance through the exchanges and if he's worried about his premiums.

Oops! All Chicago

man I remember reading this profile about a Syrian guy in New York City and the thing he thought was incredible was that if you got even a parking ticket you could go and tell a judge that it was wrong and maybe you'd lose but you could say your piece and they wouldn't hurt you later
