Lmao, reading this from aboard a plane to Paris. I guess my partner and I are filling the void with croissants and baguettes πŸ˜‚

this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.

I assumed it was a typo and meant to say "in *this* respect for players" but maybe it really is about respecting players?

My daily ritual of rebellion is being unabashedly friendly and warm in emails with other attorneys.

Our profession has this stilted coldness that tends to be the norm for emails. As a Midwesterner, I find it bizarre and refuse to partake.

Unless OC is a dick, lol. Then I just channel my old boss.

There are some truly dog shit and ableist takes going around about John Davidson.

It would be very funny to take the federal government to small claims court over the unconstitutional tariff imposed on the hand-knit Aran sweater I ordered from Galway. I want my $54.26 back, Donald!

Definitely changed mine! And, at the very least, there's a "knowledge is power" component to it where just having that better understanding where the money was going (or where the calories were coming from) that made me feel more in control of my life.

I know someone who was complaining they'd be poor on $120k as a single person. And while I don't think $120k is a mega wealthy salary in a HCOL city, an inability to live well on that is just a sign of a spending problem/financial illiteracy.

Yes, this drives me nuts. Spending your whole paycheck is not the same as living paycheck to paycheck!

I started tracking my spending down to the penny, and it really drove home how bad I was at intuiting my actual spending. Same thing with calorie tracking. We're just not as accurate as we think we are.

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the β€œold world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not β€œsovereignty.”

One of the many examples showing that understanding history is valuable and isn't just about "memorizing dates and pointless facts."

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist.

True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

I read Everything Is Tuberculosis and now I can't get it out of my head that our modern thinness-oriented beauty standards are, at least in large part, because of TB.

Damn, Christian Gonzalez is so fun to watch. Also a good reminder that the Packers really haven't had elite corner play in so long

Just had an interaction with a lovely and perfectly reasonable opposing counsel on one of my cases. And my God, it just reminds me how much more enjoyable litigation is when OC isn't an asshole or needlessly antagonistic.

*checks notes*

. . . doesn't want his community destroyed?

Also: the very normal, non-radical, everyday people who make up 95% of rapid response in MN will never, ever agree to some kind of code of omerta around random arson. Dads standing in front of schools do not want to turn their cameras off when someone lights the neighborhood on fire.

The Bills have always been my #2 team, so this is a win-win for me.
