It’s always a good day when you get a two-word verdict! (Not me, but another lawyer in my office.)

Re-pairing an @Apple Watch with a new iPhone is still one of the most frustrating, buggy, and absolutely infuriating things about owning Apple devices. How is this STILL so bad?

This shit where Sinclair is refusing to air @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social tonight reminds me of the propaganda they forced the anchors of their stations to air back in 2018.

I don’t usually watch Kimmel, but I’m DEFINITELY watching tomorrow night. I hope he tells Brendan Carr to fuck off.

I think @apple is in for a HUGE surprise today/tomorrow when millions of people who have automatic updates turned on see iOS 26 and Liquid Glass on their iPhones. It’s not going to go well, and I hope the inevitable negative feedback forces them to make significant changes.

A β˜…Β½ review of Weapons (2025) I was very disappointed in this movie. It took too long to get to the substance of the plot, there were too many plot holes, and it left me wanting a much better explanation of the backstory. I feel…

I saw Weapons last night, and I’m baffled at all of the good reviews. It was so bad that I wrote a review on @letterboxd.

What about all the other democratic reps? Did they sign the agreement? If they did, why? If they didn’t, why were they allowed to leave?

There are so many unanswered questions to this story.

Anyone preventing her from leaving should be arrested for unlawful restraint.

The Em Dash Responds to the AI Allegations β€œIn recent months, a curious fixation has emerged in corners of academia: the em dash. More specifically, the apparent moral panic around how it is...

"You think I showed up with ChatGPT? Mary Shelley used me… gratuitously. Dickinson? Obsessed." "I am the battered, coffee-stained backbone of writerly panicβ€”the gasping pause where a thought should have ended but simply could not."

Ok, the AT&T download speed at ORD is impressive.

I’m still banged up, but I feel like I’m healing faster than I expected.

On Friday, while biking to see fireworks, I crashed and face-planted into the sidewalk. Luckily, my teeth are ok and I didn’t break any bones.

I’m still waiting to hear from my client’s immigration attorney to see what happened at his 7/2 hearing in Bexar County. I really don’t know how much the local county officials have to do with it, since ICE is the feds.

Happy Independence Day. Here are some fireworks to distract from the fact that the Republicans are hell-bent on destroying this country.

That’s ok, I just had some questions about what happened. Are you a lawyer? Can you maybe DM me your number? It looks like I can’t DM you.

I have a client who has an immigration hearing next week. Any chance we could chat?

Super fucking embarrassing if this is actually Joe Rogan

But somehow even more embarrassing if it's not

In a couple years, Karen Read is going to release an β€œIf I Did It” book.

True, but the questions about whether Read’s video statements are evidence could mean that they’re considering those statements for one of the manslaughter charges.

These questions from the jury do not look good for Karen Read. I see some guilty verdicts coming. #KarenRead

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I feel bad for him too. How did he end up a part of Read’s team? I feel like Jackson and Yannetti were probably rolling their eyes every time he spoke.

Very true. But Alessi is worse.
