Remember the judge that ordered two lawyers to get lunch and talk it out?

Well, they did it.

Seriously. I sue drug companies, you don't have to tell me they suck, nor explain to me the risks of pharmaceuticals.

But vaccines are different, they're like stealing fire from the Gods and burning plagues with it. Their benefit/risk ratio is downright magical.

Considering #DryJanuary or perhaps something more? Not sure where to start or what you might like? Concerned about the social pressures of alcohol consumption in the law?

In May 2023 I decided to see how long I could go without any alcohol.

I normally ignore celebrity news but holy hell this NYT piece is surreal. People literally sending texts like β€˜thank God we are creating no electronic trail of our evil, because wow that would be bad for us tee hee! Now let us discuss the evil details of our plan further’

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

So many problems are going to arise from idiots who adamantly believe they're geniuses

Trump reportedly plans to swiftly eject trans troops within days of inauguration Trump’s actions could eject thousands of current trans service members

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.

Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.

This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

We’re not going back.

Until you’re pregnant and don’t fit into your robes - then you really stick out. I just like gowning because you don’t have to think about what to wear for a multi-day trial.

a small, wrinkly basset hound puppy with droopy eyes sits on a collection of fuzzy blankets. his brown ears are each the length of his body, one hanging on the right side of his head, the other delicately in his mouth as he chews on the corner of it. this is a game changer.

This is Fred. He just found out he can chew his own ear. There aren't actually any rules against it, he checked. 12/10

We joke, but as Professor Vladeck has pointed out, this is a serious effort to intimidate any criticisms of rightwing judicial decisions. It’s funny when done to a tenured full professor at a private school. Not so funny when directed at people whose livelihoods are at stake.

This sweet girl has been working overtime in her therapy dog role in our household the last couple of weeks. So grateful for her cuddles and demands for belly rubsπŸ’•
