"Someone with his business acumen"

Bless your heart!
Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

Today's mental jukebox has gone from "Bohemian Rhapsody" to "La Vie Boheme" from Rent to "Espresso."

So basically it is Mr. Toad's Wild Music Ride over here.

If you are an attorney who uses Gmail rather than your firm's domain as your email address then don't @ me about the various protocols I use to protect my client's data when you receive a production and are too fucking dumb to extract a zip.

From time to time I have to read legal filings and sometimes I do it for fun. Those from pro se litigants tend to be wild rides however I am reading one today from an attorney who is representing himself and some Does where wild ride does not begin to describe it. Some highlights:

This only adds up to 80%. How did the other 20% respond? Did they just talk and talk and talk and never answer the question?
"The US should use military force to obtain new territory like Greenland and the Panama Canal"

Disagree: 71%
Agree: 9%

What I Read in 2024 19/19

Finally, the last books I read in 2024:
Secrets and Sacrifices by Cath Lauria
The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo
The Bright Sword by Lev Grossman

I recommend all of these, although "Secrets and Sacrifices" might not be for you if you're not into Call of Cthulhu.

The largest reading project I finished this year was most of Allison Weir's "Six Tudor Queens" hexalogy. I started "Anne Boleyn: A King’s Obsession" in 2023, finished this up in 2024 and then went on to complete the next four volumes.

I did nazi this coming.

Cue the mansplaining from a old white men about how Elon used the Bellamy salute and how the gesture is not exclusive to or originated with the Nazis.

If you have to explain how you are not a Nazi while using their symbols, well, uhhh, here's your sign?

In keeping with the genre fiction theme, I tried to read Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser stories. I made it through Swords Against Death, Swords & Devilry, Swords Against Wizardry, Swords in the Mist, and The Swords of Lankhmar before I took a break.
