Our 5 year old β€˜nephew’ has told my wife several times that he wants to be rid of me so he can take my place

(What worries me is when she responds β€˜hmmmm’)

I was the oral argument person for moot court rather than a brief guy (or a journal guy) because I haaaaated blue booking.

There were many, many reasons why I quit litigation for transactional work after 2 years but I'm not going to say that blue booking wasn't one of them.

I am so sorry.

Every night, I put my head to the head of my 17 YO puppy (because she’s always a puppy to me) and tell her how much I love her. I know it’s only a matter of time and it breaks my heart daily

My heart goes out to you & yours

#lawsky I'm wondering if this thing I heard today is only new for me

A client asked "Can you make this thread ACP?"

I has to ask -- it apparently means 'Attorney / Client Privilege' in that context.

Leaving aside the rules for something actually to be 'ACP', has anyone heard this usage before?

Client: β€œKeep everything. It’ll protect us”
Me: β€œyou had me deal w payoff from old CEO to customer employee in 5 yr old emails & harassment thread from mgr you fired 2 years ago. Don’t make it so easy to show this co. used to suck?”

I wish I felt like the delay was based on a legitimate effort to make it, you know, good.

They have. It’s called β€˜the kindle you read when you’re in your 20’s, not the kindle you read when you’re a full-fledged adult with a busy life & shit’.

I had the predecessor in book form.

It was a great article -- highly recommended.

Having said that, as a formerly precocious 55 YO, the second graf hit a little close to home.

Can you imagine any of the historical leaders of either chamber allowing this?

There is no way O'Neil or Johnson or Rayburn would allow a president of even their own party to usurp their authority.

I know it's not the point, but the word 'toots' is fun to say.

It needs a non-gendered context. Maybe it can be the new 'fetch'.

Is it too Jewish of me to try to make light of the situation by making a joke about Jewish cooking?

Something about dry brisket comes to mind

(Yes, I know not every Jew cooks as badly as my mother and there are, in fact, wonderful Jewish meals, with my wife as exhibit a)

In fairness, once they kill you, it is hard to appeal.

Is this one of those skeets where I do some research and discover Mr. Evanier is a bad person?

Because I don’t want that for him.

@kairyssdal.bsky.social thoughts?

(My apologies if this feels like a snitch skeet, but I feel like this is innocuous enough to not be seen as malicious)

Does it get less boring?

As a huge fan of the first one (going back to when it first dropped) and a β€˜meh’ fan of the second one, I found Mafia 3 slooooow going at the start.
