I'm having a cigar in summer clothes in late December, so, this is both enjoyable and existential disquieting.

Just cut myself shaving for the first time in my actual life and she's a gusher.

This is, like, the classic summer associate error.
Its the stepping on a rake of law.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

His whole thread is good advice but this is sort of important.
Something isnt fair use just because you want it to be. Be careful.

you're not going to have a fair use defense to speak of. Talking about people like MuellerSheWrote; if we didn't have mutual blocks (from when she elevated Seth Abramson's nonsense) I'd warn her directly. Protect yourselves as best you can.

The one thing you can't fake, tough your way through, or be brave about?
Being so tired you think you might die, zero hyberbole.

When these vanity fights happen (Mayweather-McGregor being the classic example these days), I always tell people that the pro won't end it early. It's easier to take a punch than people think, and harder to land one.
Way easier and funnier to let the amateur wear himself out. Always happens.

I see a lot of oppobrium for people based on how critical they were of Joe Biden. Literally, "criticism of Joe Biden got us in this mess."
Folks, nobody bears more blame for the damage criticizing him did than Joe Biden. That debate? Lost the election. It lost America's trust. Period. It's on him.

This "mediocre white men" thing a lot you decided to go with on whatever discord you organize on is pretty bizarre to keep throwing out at extremely accomplished professionals, ngl.

I dislike weighing in on stupid and pointless discourses, but the idea that you cannot target retreating troops is one of the most grating topics that people bring up.
You retreat so you can conserve combat power and come back to fight from a better position the next day and kill your adversary.

Look, at some level, I get that.
But also ... I didn't run for the office of Big Account with a promise to you, the Bluesky voter, to deliver on certain issues.
I just logged onto the same site you did, made some posts, and people followed me.

What a great opportunity for us all to get coffee literally anywhere else
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Ask a lawyer before you attempt shit that even brushes elbows with money. *Especially* somebody else's money.
"But lawyers are expensive 😭"
If you can't afford to consult a lawyer about the thing, don't do the thing.
I promise, I'm even more expensive coming after you than helping you.
