Someone tell the baby about AAA TripTiks and blow their precious little mind.

For the love of God, please vote in the DC bar election if you are a member.

The Post used to be a great paper. I hope Katherine Graham's ghost never gives Bezos a moment of peace.

It's broken! Woot woot

Pediatric urgent care, open until midnight. Pure genius.

An ongoing list of things that will get you blocked, and probably put on my mental list of crappy people, if I think of you at all:

Crap. She's one of ours. We've got some internal work to do.

People were seriously arguing yesterday that there is not a rise in antisemitism in the US

Siri, what's a "shonda"?

Having a law practice that deals with torts is learning every day that you have not considered all the ways the world can kill you.

Can't trust a law firm to have your back if it doesn't even have its own.

On one hand, everything is awful. On the other, we're on a tiny planet at edge of a little galaxy and tonight, those of us on the pile of dirt called North America may be able to see beautiful designs in the air formed from stardust!

This whole thread, especially this point. The American Jews you know see what's happening. We know. We are tired. We are scared. And we're telling the truth about what's happening. To claim we can't is to be part of the problem.

broke: Post like it’ll be read aloud during a deposition. woke: Post like it’ll be read aloud during voir dire.

this is a black eye delivered by someone who doesn’t know how to fight and can’t throw a punch and Stephen Miller’s wife just left him for Elon Musk also Stephen Miller is left handed probably unrelated

My dad was a college professor for his whole career. Not irregularly, he discussed his observation that as the smell of weed in bathrooms waxed, the beer bottles left in the parking lot waned. And vice versa. Perhaps we just need weed bars?

I had a conference at the Quaker Meeting Hall today, and I do love this and am also very confused, on a few dimensions

Request to the universe, specif'ly the part in the Miami area: I have a client, a woman recently released from federal prison. She's a hard worker and very sweet. Having a horrible time finding employment bc of her record, probation check ins, and sexism (can't get construction day work). Help??

At one point in my career, I was demoralized because I couldn't have a job in CRD. I thought I had failed. I now see I dodged a bullet. A cannonball.

I am so tired

If you do litigation on behalf of people who are incarcerated, State constitutions should be a big part of your focus

Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.

I was wanting to lose about 10 more pounds, so luckily I've now lost my appetite for at least a week.

What's up with an explosion of some sort at the Hill Center (DC)? Anyone? Can't find any information in our decimated local news hellscape

My CLE deadline is coming up, so I grabbed a free one. It's about trusts and government benefits. I have learned that I was absolutely right not to go into estate planning law. 💤💤💤💤💤

This works metaphorically but it’s a banger read literally. Turn around instead of stopping traffic so your silly selfish ass can go across multiple lanes of traffic like a fool.
