He's an ass hole who has been running around Bsky mocking anybody who mentions the myriad ways in which UnitedHealth kills people for fun and profit.

Thank you for self-identifying as an ass hole who needs to be blocked. Much appreciated. Also, it's "UHG"

I wrote a joke about contractual interpretation, but it was ambiguous so the doctrine of contra proferentem required that it be construed against me.

I have no confidence that our legislature or our military (unlike South Koreas) would put up any resistance

With Korean legislators apparently successfully thwarting their president's effort to invoke martial law for political reasons (and impeachment on the horizon), I can't help but wonder what would happen here if Trump tried to do the same thing....

MLF’s commitment to the run game and a healthy Love were my guesses - so now I feel smart. Thanks, Dusty! I appreciate your work!

I was once the Head Law Talking Guy at a really cool tech company. My unofficial title around the office was Chief Justice for All. I didn’t copyright or trademark that so you can steal it if you want to πŸ˜‚

I have forgotten what we were mad at France about when that nonsense went down. Was it refusal to help us invade Iraq?

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

Either his thighs are raw, or he's lying. Or both. I just decided that "Raw Thighs and Juicy Breasts" is going to be the title of my next album.

Yesterday, I quartered a turkey and confited it in duck fat. Today I crisped the skin on the stove top and then rewarmed it quickly in the oven. The dark meat was extraordinary. The white meat was dry. I'm convinced that moist white turkey meat is a myth, just like "compassionate conservatism."
