I’ve got “Peter and the Wolf” stuck in my head. Somebody shoot me. Not you, Timpani.

If anyone actually did reinvent the wheel, they could make Pi easier to calculate.

Just had an opposing counsel say he had to check with his client about agreeing to an extension request. Seems there’s a lot of swinging dicks in appellate world today.

They’re not booing. They’re saying, “Moooooose.”

HIKE!

Not reading this! Nope! I want to sleep nights.

I was school friends with Ted Cruz, Justice Jackson, and Alex Acosta, but no two of them at the same school. (And you could add Marco Rubio, except we weren’t friends.)

Concurring, specially. #AppellateValentine

Fuck you, Westlaw. A 2010 case is not too old to rely on! All cases after 2000 are current law!!!

You know what’s good for stress and feeling overwhelmed? Alcohol. People should know about this! Maybe they can advertise.

Just me, or does “Kenneth Walker III” sound like a member of the Bush family?

Super Bowl Bingo Legal Argument: “‘QB SCRAMBLES FOR 1st DOWN’ doesn’t say he *made* the 1st Down. Only that he scrambled *for* one.”

I just had to use the word “milieu” in an email. I couldn’t think of another word. I’m so fucking sophisticated.

Cuban coffees for everyone, tomorrow!

USAO-SDFL is hiring appellate attorneys! #appellatesky #appellatetwitter

After 25 years, I’m making a move. But as I was putting an Edie Brickell cassette tape in my packing box, I began to wonder if I’m doing this wrong. 🤷🏻‍♂️ What I am is what I am.

Advice commonly heard from both legal writers and ER doctors:

Well of course. There’s no right to an interlocudoodle appeal. #appellatesky

Many of us eat Chinese food. 🕎

In 30 years as a lawyer, no one’s ever asked me to sell out. And I’m kind of offended by that.

The downtown delivery robots now have names. This is how the robot uprising starts. Phyllis: “I want you to know it was me.”

Well, duh.

Friend: My favorite part of the pudding recipe is “you can hit this with a shot of scotch or whiskey.” Me: What can’t you, really? I’m making my next brief a double.

I don’t take my extra hour of sleep every year. I save them up until I have enough for an extra day off from work.

This is my point again that the electorate has no idea of what's actually going on. Not in some ideological way, so you can argue whether it's good or not, just in a fact way.

The downtown delivery robots are gathering. I think they may be planning something.

That first post-Yom Kippur Cuban coffee is the best.

At times like this, I am reminded of the words of Nena, when she said: "Denk' an Dich und lass' ihn fliegen."

There’s wrong, there’s amusingly wrong, and there’s annoyingly wrong. Right now I’m too annoyed at opposing counsel’s annoying wrongness to respond. I need to hit his brief with a stick.

Are Gary Hart and Donna Rice still alive and available??

Been re-reading the series in anticipation!

That thing when you login to Westlaw to pursue a line of research, but you get interrupted, and then you’re on Westlaw and have no idea why.

Chris’s Law Dork coverage of this and other breaking cases around the country is well worth a subscription to keep informed of all the mishegas.

. @bengreenman.bsky.social also helped Brian Wilson with his memoir. Someone better check in with Questlove to make sure his health is OK.

Wil’s new podcast really is very good. He’s chosen very thoughtful and impactful stories and his narrations are as always top notch. Highly recommend.
