thinking about how when Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan do the talk-singing thing, it works, and when Taylor does it, you just…want it to stop

I really don’t think anyone hates Travis Kelce as much as Taylor Swift seems to think we all do

I think a reason ppl are finding themselves pulled towards using AI (even if they hate it) is bc sometimes it really *does* feel like the only way to access a shred of mental relief, as societal expectations of what a person can manage get increasingly unbearable and disconnected from reality

The concept of Duke Law discriminating *against* white people. Must be a different, much cooler Duke Law than the one I attended.
Justice Department Accuses Duke Law of Racial Discrimination 

The federal government said the school’s admissions policies, which promote diversity, allowed for racial preferences.

To demonstrate how pointless the bar is, the President of the NCBE never took it, because she graduated from Wisconsin, which provides diploma privilege for lawyers. @lizcgil.bsky.social knows what I’m talking about.

well I don't think it's too much to ask for faithful historicity from a film adaptation of a written poem based on an ancient oral poetic tradition describing a half-remembered and largely mythologized past

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.

I saw a reel the other day that was like “we are no longer seen as customers, but rather, consumers. corporations no longer treat us like patrons they serve. We’re just a layer they have to resentfully push through to get our money.” And I think about that all the time.

Part of being a senior attorney is empowering your people to build their own books. Having your own book = agency, and we all know that. So, help foster that, down the ladder. Back them up on pitch calls. Invite them to events. Do legwork that’s technically “beneath” you. That’s part of mentorship.

You will never make me believe that being business-savvy means becoming less empathetic, stingier with resources, a more practiced gatekeeper. Being successful does not require those things. There are people who have been successful without them. Making them part of your success is a choice.

Burnout doesn’t just come from overwork. It can come from simply existing in a world that is rapidly, visibly turning inwards, towards the self and away from the collective. Existing in survival mode, against your will and convictions. Be gentle with yourself.

The only thing I'll remember about Lindsey Graham is his mistreatment of Dr Christine Blasey Ford. Acting apoplectic at nonsensical details because he knew the most powerful misogynist in the world was watching him. I've never seen a man debase and humiliate himself so much.

Billy McFarland really read the room in America rn and went “awwww yiss, fraud is BACK! time for a relaunch”
Screenshot of tweet from Billy McFarland talking about the relaunch of Magnises. tweet reads: “we began accepting magnises members today. Here’s how it works. When you join magnises you get a mag phone. This is the new magnises black card. It acts as your key to the world. When there’s a magnises experience or opportunity that impacts you, your key buzzes. Your key is also a direct 1:1 connection to other magnises members and a select network that moves the world.”

PARAGRAPH 85, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
85. Seen in this light, integral human development is the framework through which we can interpret the changes of our time, including t'ose brought about by the digital revolution. Technological innovations, including artificial intelligence, are not neutral, for they can either foster participation and justice or exacerbate inequality, control and exclusion. For this reason, they must be evaluated by asking a crucial question: Do they truly help individuals and peoples to become more humane and fraternal, while respecting our common home and future generations? It is here that the principles of Social Doctrine become concrete criteria for discernment regarding the issues which we will address in the following chapters.

I heard someone say (grimly) that the traditional law firm lockstep compensation system has a strangely protective effect for women lawyers, bc it deters people from pigeonholing them as psuedo-admins indefinitely. From an economic & client service POV, that eventually becomes too expensive. Oof.
