One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Approaching perfect reflection of reality:
The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

It's about time Strange Days finally begins getting the retrospective love and respect it deserves. To me, it's the best pre-Matrix cyberpunk film other than Blade Runner and Robocop, and still better than most cyberpunk films made since.

The value of money is completely lost. I wonder why they didn’t add another digit at the end.
President Trump plans to add a $100,000 fee to H-1B visa applications in the administration’s latest crackdown on a system it says is used by tech companies to avoid hiring American workers.
Trump to Add $100,000 Fee to H-1B Visas
The move, expected as soon as Friday, would upend a program for foreign workers that the president says tech companies overuse.

The two narratives about colleges right now are:
1.) College professors are so charismatic and convincing that students are completely hypnotized into doing whatever they want.
2.) Students are writing all their papers with AI because they don’t give a shit outside of a degree.
