Very good.

Taylor Tomlinson has once again made a comedy special targeted at me, specifically.

In my Appellate Practice class in law school, we read a Paul Clement brief that did all 3 to emphasize one phrase, and even for Paul Clement, I thought it was a bit much.

They don’t even lie competently, it’s embarrassing

You could even underline if you want to be really obnoxious.

I call bullshit. Straight up lying to the court.

Every 1L knows what quotation marks immediately preceding a case citation communicates to the court. And it’s not “a general statement of the case” or “a writing technique to liven up the prose."

The concept of a lawyer with 30 years of experience using quotation marks for emphasis

Conservative men are so deeply submissive to male authority figures. Oh, did daddy tell you what shoes to wear? You better obey so he doesn’t get angry!

I love this

I covered this story at Law Dork over the weekend and am very glad to see that Gov. Ivey stopped this execution from taking place. www.lawdork.com/p/alabama-so...

It’s always a nice change when SCOTUS does something that helps rather than inhibits my cases. (Galette v. N.J. Transit Corp.)

This feels like equivalent to asking AI to write the “Summary of Argument” portion of a brief. A terrible idea all around.

I have listened to Showgirl exactly twice, I hate it so much 😭 TTPD took some time for me, but I’ve come to view it as her most vulnerable and cohesive album

(But I agree her best work is ahead of her)

This is a wild take when evermore and TTPD are two of her best albums

Motion to Not Work Today Because It Is Thunderstorming and I Want to Be Cozy with Tea and Book and Blanket

Schumer wants to tap into oil reserves so that we can keep the war with Iran going with minimal anti-war pressure. The Senate Democrats are with him on this or else they’d be calling for his ouster. This is why the Democratic Party is both vile and not an avenue to a better world.

This is a bad, stupid idea and you should feel bad and stupid for having it.

Alabama is set to kill Sonny Burton on Thursday. Governor Kay Ivey must stop it. Sonny Burton did not kill anyone, but Alabama put him on death row and his execution is scheduled to be carried out this week — unless Ivey grants clemency or courts intervene.

Alabama is set to kill Sonny Burton on Thursday for a murder that everyone agrees he did not commit.

Governor Kay Ivey must stop it.

This weekend at Law Dork:

Any attorney who allows a client arrested under this to take a plea deal should be reported to the bar. I said what I said and will not entertain discourse on this.
Clear cut ineffective assistance of counsel.

Well this is the best thing I’ve ever seen

NEW: Alabama is set to kill Sonny Burton on Thursday. Governor Kay Ivey must stop it.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

Well. No.

Tbh I think it’s mostly because of the way he looks

“It’s not our fault big tech exploits us first” WE DO NOT HAVE TO LET THEM EXPLOIT US. We have agency, we have brains. We can choose not to use AI.

So yes, I will shame ADHD adults for choosing to use objectively harmful technology.

It’s very odd how everyone just assumed he must be this deep-thinking, tortured artist based entirely off the way he looks

i am audhd and i am tired of people implying that i'm too lazy and stupid and disabled to use my goddamn brain
