Good evening from Bar Prep Hell where my purrlegals are throughly examining the backs of their eyelids and the bottoms of their feet.

Somehow a 25lb beagle can take up the entire bed. This was my view at 3:30AM. I guess she was cold but wanted her feet out? Oh, Blair. I wish I was you.

Good morning, I’m Libby. If I fits, I sits. Even if my corpulent floof overfloweth. Mommy said I’m not fat, I’m a Rubens. Purrfection in every way.

I like how this animal thinks he’s a wild jungle cat sleeping in a tree. In reality he’s a rotten gremlin who likes to scratch my furniture and instead of being deterred by the sticky tape, he licks it, apparently (?) to fuel his two brain cells.

Law firms that pay off Trump only encourage more targeting. My thoughts in @cafedotcom.
Why Law Firms Must Resist
Barb McQuade explains why law firms targeted by Trump's latest executive orders must resist the "bully-in-chief," or risk adding fuel to the fire.

I’ve proudly worked at FDA for 16 years and let me tell you yesterday felt like a massacre. We lost all our comms, budget, project management, IT, and HR people. We also lost a lot of policy folks. It’s like they left the car but didn’t leave any gas for it.
Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?
President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…
The book is called “The Jungle.”

A principle that you’re unwilling to make sacrifices to defend isn’t a principle; it’s a convenience.
Is this what you want your legacy to be, law firms? Pandering to this? Clients come and go but integrity is forever.

Just absolutely love the vibe with Teams calls now that people are crammed cheek by jowel in the office. Can’t hear because of so much background noise from other people trying to work. Poor quality because office internet can’t keep up. Much efficient. So office. Very collaborate. 😑

Friends, when I, a Ph.D. in this field, post "I study this and I am still baffled," it is not an invitation for you, a person who has thought about this problem for seven and a half seconds, to guess the first thing that pops into your head as if it is useful insight.

If you won't listen to me, listen to @chrisgeidner.bsky.social. I swear, some people want DOJ to defy orders just to satisfy some apocalyptic narrative.
OK, a roundup response to the "they won't follow the court orders" people.
First of all, you're wrong! The administration *is* following many of the court orders.
What's more, they're showing their understanding of the validity of court orders by seeking stays pending appeal when they lose.

I made two king cakes this weekend and gave one to my neighbor who wasn’t familiar with the tradition. Her husband found the baby and held it over the rest of the household all weekend. 😂

Chicken Guts Guy woke me up with chorizo and egg tacos and coffee in bed. Then he let his ex’s beagle (we are beagle-sitting) in to snuggle with me in bed. She’s snoring and my tummy is full. Perfect Sunday morning. 15/10 recommend.

Judges are servants, not kings. Article III independence is a wonderful thing, but this is one of its dark sides, and we should be honest about it and standing up for those subjected to bullies and abusers.

In the federal court system, law clerks find little recourse for bullying and abuse
An NPR investigation finds federal judges have enormous influence with few checks on their power. Law clerks and other judicial employees are vulnerable to mistreatment and have few job protections.

Everything is on fire and I don’t know if I’ll have a job in the future, so I’m making tortillas about it. They aren’t as good as HEB, but they are pretty damn close.
