Music = my oxygen. I also love cats, theatre, good beer/cider, tacos, cheese, books, laughing, good humans, NYC, traveling and random shenanigans. Amazing at hugs.
@americanair.bsky.social: my friend's 90 y/o Mom had med emergency 24 hrs pre-flight and can't fly today. You refused to give a partial refund/give first class seats (orig purchased/had to get coach seats) when safe for her to fly despite being loyalty members for 50+ years?! NOT OKAY.

Huh. Maybe Alex Thompson or Jake Tapper could take a moment from their media blitz on how Joe Biden is old to report on the current president having no idea what is going on.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.
