Working on a new matter with Dutch co-counsel. Keeping this phrase in the chamber in the event anything goes sideways.

The 6 AM crowd at my local gym is mostly professional-types between 30 and 50….and one former SEC tight end that comes in every morning to humble all of the accountants (and lawyer(s)) by squatting 405 like it’s easy.

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

This guy talks about “little girls” and “dolls” more often than I’d like.
Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

Perhaps this is niche content, but how does Law360 determine which lateral hires are “Pros” and which ones are “Aces”? Does one graduate from “Pro” to “Ace” over time?

The cleaning staff just walked in as I was blaring Hells Bells in my dimly lit office and editing a brief.
They looked amused and also concerned about my poor time-management skills.

a nice reminder to the press that there is nothing you can do to pacify these people or buy yourself leniency
this appears to be based entirely on subscriptions for Politico Pro that many govt agencies pay for. but it doesn't matter, this is now fact for roughly half the country for eternity and will be used to do whatever they want.

According to my wife, it’s “over dramatic” to compare the importance of the Eagles winning this weekend to the landings at Normandy in 1944. I am not so sure that it is.

Incredible to think how hard Merrick Garland worked for four years to avoid even the remotest appearance of partisanship or ideological commitments, and literally on her first day as AG Pam Bondi is like "Diversity is now illegal, we will be putting all the libs in prison"
Breaking from me and @mjsdc.bsky.social : Newly installed AG Pam Bondi sent out more than a dozen memos in a 15 minute period on Wednesday. One of them told staffers to come up with "proposals for criminal investigations" of large companies that have DEIA initiatives. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Pam Bondi Instructs Trump DOJ to Criminally Investigate Companies That Do DEI
Civil rights advocates may well file suit immediately against the Justice Department to secure an injunction.

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.
“Commander in Chief” jumps to throw military crew under the bus before any details are known. Coward.
We no longer have a leader in the White House but a conman who’s #1 goal is always to dodge responsibility.
Next time a R or D says “respect the office” remind them the President himself doesn’t.

When a “sovereign citizen” comes to court to say the flag has a gold fringe and so it’s an Admiralty Court without jurisdiction over them, the judge doesn’t — and shouldn’t — say “well let me read the literature from P@tr3ot1969 on Reddit. Ilan Wurman is shilling for extremist trash.
Something is embarrassing but the call is coming from inside the house. I’m sorry, but it’s bad. Sometimes it’s okay to say “no” in defense of the constitutional order and our most valued traditions. We don’t need to entertain all ideas as having equal merit or pretend by going through the motions.
