From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

Cowardice in the face of unreasonable, unfounded, and unjust demands is the literal opposite of what we are called to do and who we are called to be as attorneys. This is, pardon my French, chickenshit.

Rogue One is an extremely good film on its own terms. But it’s even better in…context. What would you do in the face of cruelty, violence, and fascism if you weren’t a superhero? If you weren’t sure you’d make it through or if anything you did would really make a difference? Would you fight anyway?

This seems, to put it mildly, like intimidation bullshit on behalf of one of the worst companies on earth. I’ll probably write a blog post about this.

Being a spouse for someone with long COVID is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. It has stressed our marriage and my capacity as a person. But even as we often grieve, we see each other anew, and reaffirm. This captured a lot of that better than anything else has. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/s...

Hey #lawsky, I am still looking for a new job! If anyone knows of any nonprofits or plaintiff-side civil rights firms that are hiring, please let me know.

It's sort of difficult putting in a solid day at the law factory when you get a push alert every 10 minutes that makes you wonder if law is a real thing anymore

Franz Ferdinand’s new album is deeply chaotic but very on brand. Glad to see them still out there doing their thing.

Woke military thinks soldiers should be able to "read a basic field manual" or "use a measuring tool and a map to figure out how far away something is".

I think it is absolutely fair and appropriate to identify these lawyers and shun them from decent society.

Nosferatu was really extraordinary. Eggers at the peak of his powers. Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgard, and Nicholas Hoult really shined. And now I can annoy everyone in my vicinity with my flawless Orlok impression.

“Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.”

This is our version of Havel's greengrocer breaking the panorama of obedience in communist Czechoslovakia. We don't need to hang up the "Workers of the world, unite!" banner in the window. We don't need to snitch on our neighbors. And when we choose not to, we break the mirage of uniform compliance.

Instead of posting anything topical for...gestures around today, I'm going to share my most important opinion. In this the year of our lord 2025, Kim Petras needs to release Turn Off The Light Volume 3. I need this. Thank you for your time.

Not me watching The Resident with @osayko.bsky.social and issue spotting all the times these people need a whistleblower lawyer because they’re not getting good advice and not filing qui tams when they should. When do we get the healthcare whistleblower serial drama?

What really took me out of suspension of disbelief for the substance was that a healthcare company offering a rare exclusive treatment would pass up the opportunity to upcharge the procedure charges by allowing Demi Moore to do it herself at home.

Excited to announce this groundbreaking PPP fraud settlement. Grateful to my team, our courageous client, and to our partners in the government. Hot take: private equity asset managers whose strategy countercyclically benefits from the pandemic should not ask for aid money during the pandemic.
