The Questionable Authority

I got a whole-ass PhD out of my "embrace of adolescence."

From QMUL.

Public defenders are the absolute champions of the legal profession.

Oh, please link me. I've got court twice today, I need some stress relief.

It's a different one. Also I missed the comics and legos one.

We need a word for "being a pathetic little pedantic schmuck who sucks joy from existence."

A bet the Germans have one.

Maybe we can mug them and carry it off into our dictionary.

Counterpoint:
It turns out that our current oligarch-dominated media system was very well designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party.

Just not in the direction we had hoped it was.

On the one hand, it wouldn't be social media if an assortment of asshats didn't 'but ackshually' every bit of humor and snark in the world. If that didn't happen, I'd worry that I was doing things wrong.

But on the other hand, AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHGHGHGGHGIJGHGH8GHHGHHHHHG HGGHHH***THUD*THUD*THUD*

Because, Alvaro. Because.

This person claims to be a lawyer practicing constitutional law and defamation. I'm having some difficulty believing this, although, to be fair, they did caveat their claim by saying they graduated from Harvard Law.

I'll alert the newspapers.

I just didn't think it would be this pathetically dumb.

You sound mad. Don't get mad, Owl. Absolute winners of the internet don't get mad.

(I know)

Well, at least you managed to state a fact in the final sentence.

Yeah, no way does some random dude with "trials of Osiris" (whatever that is) in their screen name possibly know anything about the case. No chance. Zero. Really.

If I only ever watch Fox News on my TV, do those TOS bind me?

I have concerns. But I don't want to misuse the word "serious."

Also doesn't seem familiar with the idea that the date of a change to TOS doesn't indicate that everything in the TOS is new as of the change date.

Dafuq?

Two things can be true:

1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; &

2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.

E.W. has already acknowledged that this is fake further downtrend. I'm reskeeting in the likely vain hope that people will check my tl before tagging.

It's not real.

Fake.

The singer's title is wrong. Dinna has been VP Legal for months.

I think it's fake.

Lighten up, Francis.

For those wondering:
Less well-known than bird law, but a remarkable number of similarities.

/10. So, let’s turn this into more of a positive. How can you consult with a lawyer in a way that makes the lawyer want to take you as a client?

There are some pretty simple things you can do.

/5 (4) Client, despite looking for lawyer to advise them, has very strong ideas of what the law is and reacts with disbelief or hostility to being told that’s not right
(5) Client gets angry at you when told what the law is if they don’t like it
