OK, so here's why this probably isn't "legal bullshit."* And also a quick reminder that not all law is American law, and the law where you live and do business matters.

*I'm not going to opine on whether GW *should* take action; this is about their legal claims.

We definitely use it across the border in New Mexico, for what that's worth!

Oh my GOD.

and also because Jan Egeland is an absolute banger of a song.

The front cover of a scientific journal titled Ornithologist, dated 1 April 2025. The main headline reads: “BIRDS: DECODED - Groundbreaking New Science.” Below that, a subheading says: “What are the UK’s birds really saying? Pioneering new research provides the answers.”

WORLD-FIRST: Ground-breaking research published today in the Ornithologist Journal has, for the first time, translated common UK bird vocalisations into equivalent phrases in the human language.

The results tell us a lot!

has anyone seen @legalminimum.bsky.social around lately

The phrase “uncapped indemnity” gives me heart palpitations and cold sweats.

I just backed this--Chris has written some of my favorite books in the past years, and this is a beautiful collector's edition!

It’s sparking a ton of conversation in the discord; really great reporting

Great article!

WHERE WILL AINSLEY HAYES WORK?

This is a First Amendment question combined with a practical question. The answer is as follows.

First, the First Amendment protects advocating the moral and practical necessity of breaking the law in the abstract.

So if they offer me an extern/internship, it’s actually encouraged by West and Lexis (assuming it doesn’t violate form billing practices)—I assume they’re using student accounts as loss-leaders to try to hook law firms

Sounds like my student access to Westlaw with unlimited searches might be a foot in the door... Any SEC attorneys who need cases/statutes pulled, let me know!

The lead prosecutor in the Eric Adams case has resigned over DOJ's order that the case be dismissed.

I'm just a law student, but this seems like what members of the legal profession might call a "bad move"

My cohort of law students usually ends up at the exact same pizza restaurant, at/near the same table - precedent and all that

And you never know, could be another Hanukkah miracle shows up--the plastic, instead of melting in one minute as usual, lasted a whole 8 minutes (creating even more fumes that set off the smoke alarm)

Gold-painting spinosaurus toy converted into a menorah on a coffee table

My SIL made me a spinosaurus menorah years ago, putting some candle holders into a toy and painting it gold—it suffered the same fate as the candles melted down into the sail, so he’s just decorative now.

This is truly the best legal advice we can give.

I am the very model of the Lord Solar Macharius

I’ve memorized my stratagems and battle tactics various

I know the Guardsman’s Primer and the Tactica Imperium

And every type of weapon from a lasgun to bacterium…

I should be working on my comment draft, but how can I interrupt nap time

Buttercup had her spa day (as my wife calls it in the calendar), so she’s spiffed, shiny, and seasonal for Thanksgiving

That’s terrible - I’m sorry

Glenn Seaborg came to my 5th grade class - told us that if any of us could re-arrange the periodic table better than he did, he’d be ok with us winning a Nobel prize too - funny guy

a napping small brown bat hangs upside down from a tree branch full of flowers, hiding its face with its wings

The same bat, but closer. It’s gripping the stem of one of the flowers with its tiny foot

oh my god my partner found a bat napping in some blossoms oh my god

This is Buttercup - my wife just informed me she prefers Parmesan to Asiago. My dog has a preference on Italian hard cheeses.
