I very much enjoyed telling the delightful server young enough to be my son that not only did I recognize what band they were playing but that I’d seen Cibo Matto live four times, once in Japan. 💅

Between Gavin Newsom on Bannon’s podcast and this nonsense, I am suddenly understanding the accelerationist argument. For the love of sweet little apples, do something useful. Please.

Michigan peeps: who do I know who knows someone at the architecture firm Quinn Evans (the people restoring the central train station in Detroit)?

Houston’s BARC Animal Shelter is reducing its “rescue notice period” from 48 hours to 24 hours, meaning difficult-to-adopt dogs and cats will have less time before being euthanized.

I wrote something yesterday and I still think it’s a banger. Usually the appellate koolaid wears off after 12ish hours.

Remembering a few International Women’s Days ago when I got to speak at a Rockets game with the ADL. First speaking engagement with the Lenster in tow. He was…unimpressed.

Someone I was working with referred to some attorneys as “very old” and then clarified that they were “in their 50s or something,” and I, in my extremely late 40s, died a little. #egad

I think we just need to agree as a country that people who sexually assault or harass, commit fraud, use their office to serve their own needs and grudges, are categorically unfit to hold office. This is not hard. Next. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/n...

Things being awful in the US has made things weird in Mexico. A member of the military was gleefully taking pictures of the Americans stuck in the malfunctioning automated immigration check. Met multiple people without criminal history who were deported in the last month.

Holy cats, Wisconsin, this is terrible. We had Musk interference and misinformation in our judicial races here and it was bad news for democracy.

My hot take is that most trial judges do not make great appellate judges. The urge to armchair quarterback is very strong and runs counter to the more deferential standards of review. (The ones that are meant for it though are truly valuable.)

The world is terrible but a student at a clerkships panel I was on didn’t believe I used to be a judge because I was “so chill” and “so cool” so I’m taking the small wins where I find them.

Am having a Monday on a Wednesday. Mentally miscalendared tomorrow’s events for today. Not sure whether to blame the two-day calendar view on my phone or early senility.

This is extremely bad for due process. Worth calling our legislators about.

How I imagine people reacted to my long thread about Elon Musk’s role in the Texas Courts of Appeals elections.

Some of you already know what went down in the Courts of Appeals races in Texas but now that I have my full First Amendment rights, I’d like to explain. It’s legal but it’s not right. 🧵 1/

Good evening to everyone except one tailless white rescue cat who shamelessly stole and devoured half of Lenster’s fish filet in the three seconds it took me to put the other half on a toddler plate.
