Weird location to advertise…

Passing this along. Please circulate as you see fit. Thank you.

Got great care @bcchresearch.bsky.social today for my kid. In and out with a brand new cast in under 3 hours. Great staff, beautiful facility. Feeling grateful.

Ontario civil justice reform “is not data driven”. Because the data doesn’t exist.

This is an interesting, if perhaps not surprising, breakdown of the percentages of NYC based lawyers at each of these firms. See a trend? Paul Weiss - 82%; Skadden - 50%; Wilmer - 24%; Jenner - 16%; Perkins - 7%

Feel like I missed a great day of jokes because I had to do my day job.

Paul Weiss. What.

Who at Outlook thought the whole emoji reaction to an email thing was a good idea. Because it's not.

I really, really love rainbows but I’m still deeply skeptical about rainbow sourdough.

@heyitsalexsu.bsky.social - I remember (or maybe hallucinated) that you had a Substack about how lawyers rely too often on proxies for quality (lack of typos, perfect cites). Did you write this? I’m struggling to find it in your archives….

I guess BlueSky took my (patriotism inspired) interest in the Four Nations hockey thing as a generalized interest in sports. My feed is flooded with NBA, WNBA and NFL content I can hardly understand.

Upon learning that Laurentien pencil crayons have been discontinued, my spouse just asked if the Minister of Canadian Heritage was aware, and what the plan was to address this.

I am remembering now why I listened exclusively to TV recap podcasts from 2016-2020…

Listening to the border wait times on a holiday Monday gave me a taste of this. 60 minutes southbound; 5 northbound.

People posting about Canada being at risk need to be clearer about whether they are posting about Trump or hockey.

Hope they took a retainer.

Fellow Vancouverites: we’ve been lied to. It snowed yesterday in Toronto and I’m informed that there were issues with the busses. It’s almost like the problem with fresh snow and busses is universal.

Is it possible that Trump would be less interested in Greenland if he relied on a map that didn’t distort its size? Cartographers for social justice!

I would be more convinced by the Government’s arguments for the need to ban TikTok If they said it was a scheme to get American men to eat excessive grams of protein per day, because that’s far more consistent with my experience of the app.

Arrived home, 5 days after Christmas. House is completely dark… Because the kids and spouse are in the after dinner laser tag hour.

I can’t breathe

Tonight six members of my family gave a talk, with slides, about what my brother Gus does for work. Including Gus. We still do not know what he does, but we do know my slides were the “3th” best. @guslockhart.bsky.social

It is a trip attending your kids’ first school concert in the same auditorium where you did your last school concert. In 1996.

Chrystia Freeland resignation is giving real Martin/Chretien vibes.

Me: I’d like a 3 foot tree. Kids: I’d like one that touches the ceiling.

This was a very compelling read - about a horrific abuse of power.

Despite my conscious choice to try to expand the music I listen to while working since April 2023, Taylor Swift remains my top artist. It would be easier to quit her if she were less good.
