- *cursed* panel
- If you are not originally from Texas, but practice law here, a good thing to do is occasionally say things like "pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered" or "that man's got less sense than a peach orchard goat."
- And for the love of God, it's pronounced "voor die-er"
- I regret to inform my wallet that I’ve taken a floral arrangement class (Taylor-Swift themed of *course*) and have a new hyper fixation hobby
- People are still yelling at me and trying to defend Piker's decision to chat away with CBP so I wrote about the myriad ways it was stupid.
- Reading about him just chatting with the cops made me stop and think a minute like, "Did I completely misunderstand law and you don't have a right against self-incrimination or the ability to invoke your right to counsel when you're at a port of entry?" Turns out, no. He's just dumb
- This was SO FUN and a big deal when legit people agree to come on our shit-talking podcast.
- New episode! We’ve got book reviews, self-incrimination, inter-state criminal enterprises, and—most importantly—we have @leahlitman.bsky.social on to discuss her new book! Which is out this week! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

- Already calling in my marker that we trade the pick for James Harden
- Yall know he’s going to trade the Flagg pick

- Literal lol
- We’ll end up with James Harden
- Each morning, I wake up hoping to see *it* happened. One day.

- Mother’s Day here is rosé, a smutty book, TTPD in the background, and time alone in the pool.

- Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! And holding a special place in my heart for those people who have complicated or sad feelings about today.
- Opening the blinds for hosting a bunch of people this evening and Nike needs to give the backyard an ocular pat down
- Sometimes, everything is just…[gestures broadly]…so you just have to dress up and be ridiculous.
- Friends aren’t supposed to make you feel bad. Find friends that lift you up. Life is too short to spend time with bad friends.

- God that’s so true.

- I do hope they start a Drag Queen Story Hour at the LoC
- Never has “play stupid games; win stupid prizes” been truer.
- WSJ: Cadwalader’s pact with Trump “is backfiring, adding to an exodus of lawyers that has placed the firm on uncertain footing.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

- It’s shockingly good, if true. I gasped when I saw it.
- I like Alexis generally but “men had to invent robots instead of engage in equal distribution of domestic labor” is a real 2025 sentence
- The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation.
- He raises a good question, Ken. Why do you have so many followers?
- Hexes.
- There is—of course—extremely high quality legal representation at BigLaw firms. But so many partners there seem to think their job makes them the brightest and most specialest boys in class…and that confidence results in stupid decisions like these.
- I'm sorry but if you don't have enough fully functional neurons firing in your brain to have seen this coming from the beginning, I refuse to believe you can be trusted with any task or objective that requires more than a third-grade intellect. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/w...
- Okay I’m a day late but I’m *finally* getting to look at Met Gala pics. Mute the hashtag if you’re at #metgala overload.

View full threadIt’s giving cult leader. #metgala
- I don’t understand how this look was giving “tailored” in any way
- A holiday on November 11th that honors veterans? What will we call it?
- Did he also…take away Veterans Day as a national holiday?
- This week, all those men are telling us that it's actually June 1st.
- Literally every time I see breaking news about some action from SCOTUS, I wonder which rights are being eliminated, abridged, or reversed. A super cool place to be.

- Also, it takes probably more than 4 years to completely build out a manufacturing facility and get it running up to full speed. Why would any company spend that money when they can just outlast the tariffs? Companies won't want to make massive capital investments when debt is so expensive, either.

- Congrats!!!
- It's not that the cost will be going down.

- I also various books in process at home or on audio, depending on my mood. Sometimes I'm good with fantasy epics, but sometimes I want the Real Housewives equivalent of brain candy.
- Scratch a wildly misogynistic claimed "liberal" guy you find insulting women online and you are almost guaranteed to find a Bernie Bro.

- Millions in dollars of loans from multiple banks? I'd love to see a balance sheet of that company.

- I feel so insulted when advice like this turns out to be correct. Not scrolling before bed and no drinking during the week has basically changed the game in how I sleep.
- How do you tariff movies that aren’t theatrical releases? I don’t even know

- There wasn’t a contested election in Carroll ISD (of Southlake fame) yesterday but the district is in *turmoil* this weekend with news that the PAC-chosen superintendent did not renew the contracts for several beloved principals and fired several coaches. The tide is turning.
- A meme for May 4th
- I have two boys that I’m currently raising. I wont say it’s easy and I wont say they’ll turn out perfectly, but I will say they’re turning into the kind of person who makes me proud. And no one is telling them that boys and men are bad.
- You can tell a lot about a person by what their favorite muppet is. So tell me: who’s yours?

- When the big dog who doesn’t fit in the front seat demands to sit in the front seat
- [Not loaded yet]
- I know. I had him in the back seat and we were going about a mile, so I figured it was safer to keep him there for a few minutes, rather than try and force him back with his arthritis.

- Apparently someone swatted the school and reported shots fired and a bomb threat. I cannot stress enough how awful that is.

- Yeah, I used Embark because I knew that’s what the legit breeders out there swear by
