The people of Phoenix are going to rise up when you uncork this one

(Jk, it’s definitely going to be Dallas isn’t it?)

My wife is also traveling for work. She spent the night at the St. Regis and went to Le Diplomate for lunch. I spent the night in a DoubleTree and had smothered rabbit for lunch. Duality.

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

The 6 AM crowd at my local gym is mostly professional-types between 30 and 50….and one former SEC tight end that comes in every morning to humble all of the accountants (and lawyer(s)) by squatting 405 like it’s easy.

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

This guy talks about β€œlittle girls” and β€œdolls” more often than I’d like.

People are always unironically doing this bit. Yes, La Fontaine de Mars is better than your local Chili’s. Go look at how the average middle-class European actually eats and tell me it’s β€œsuperior.”

Perhaps this is niche content, but how does Law360 determine which lateral hires are β€œPros” and which ones are β€œAces”? Does one graduate from β€œPro” to β€œAce” over time?

The cleaning staff just walked in as I was blaring Hells Bells in my dimly lit office and editing a brief.

They looked amused and also concerned about my poor time-management skills.

point out, it is also unworkable. (See Dkt. No. 69-1 at 17.) The recordkeeping and administrative burden from such an arrangement, (see id.), ' also mandates nationwide relief. Nor is it clear what, if any, prejudice the Government would suffer from nationwide relief. In its brief in opposition, it points to none. (See Dkt. No. 84 at 57-59).

For all these reasons, the Court finds that relief must be nationwide. Anything less is ineffectual.

III. CONCLUSION

Citizenship by birth is an unequivocal Constitutional right. It is one of the precious principles that makes the United States the great nation that it is. The President cannot change, limit, or qualify this Constitutional right via an executive order. The Court GRANTS the i Plaintiffs' motions for a nationwide preliminary injunction (Dkt Nos, 63, 74) and ENJOINS enforcement or implementation of the Order on a nationwide basis.

According to my wife, it’s β€œover dramatic” to compare the importance of the Eagles winning this weekend to the landings at Normandy in 1944. I am not so sure that it is.

Incredible to think how hard Merrick Garland worked for four years to avoid even the remotest appearance of partisanship or ideological commitments, and literally on her first day as AG Pam Bondi is like "Diversity is now illegal, we will be putting all the libs in prison"

The President is asking rhetorical questions about what federal government aircraft was doing, as if there's someone else who is supposed to have the answer. This is his responsibility. If he doesn't even know the answers, it's because he and his unqualified appointees are incompetent.

I am in the depths of preparing for a five-week trial and just not very online right now. So every NYT push notification or trip to this app brings fresh horrors.

When a β€œsovereign citizen” comes to court to say the flag has a gold fringe and so it’s an Admiralty Court without jurisdiction over them, the judge doesn’t β€” and shouldn’t β€” say β€œwell let me read the literature from P@tr3ot1969 on Reddit. Ilan Wurman is shilling for extremist trash.

I brought a large suitcase and a carry-on bag onto a train in Belgium and people looked at me like I committed a capital offense.

My wife just sent me an article about a new French bistro concept opening in Dallas and my immediate response β€œOh fuck yes.” The things that get you excited when you’re in your 30s…
