A surprisingly large percentage of the cast of Designated Survivor have been arrested this week.

The Kat Abughazaleh holy water thing looks a bit staged, doesn't it? The acting seems wooden, nobody seems surprised by anything the other is saying, and Kat kinda seems to feed the bag-giver talking points. Also: identical comments on her bsky and Reddit posts I dunno, maybe I'm overly suspicious.

Congratulations, fragile white men. You've forced scholarship committees to now pretend to be colorblind just like every U.S. institution has pretended to be colorblind for the last 75 years. I'm sure the diversity scholarships will start flowing to all of the Masons and Mackenzie's any minute now.

ABA drops ‘minority’ requirement from scholarship amid lawsuit
The American Bar Association has altered a longstanding scholarship program aimed at boosting law student diversity by eliminating requirements that applicants must come from “ethnic minority” or “underrepresented racial” groups, Reuters reports. Applicants must now demonstrate “a strong commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion,” according to revised criteria posted on the ABA’s website. The change comes seven months after the organization was sued by a prominent conservative group, who alleged that its 25-year-old Legal Opportunity Scholarship program discriminated against white applicants who were ineligible to apply.

The word “trampoline” sounds like the fuel that a promiscuous woman runs on. Like, “Are you exhausted after making out with just two men at the bar? Try new Tramp-oline, our special high-octane formulation of vodka and Red Bull, and party all night long!”

If Johnny Depp had a nickel for every movie he was in about a man with blades for fingers, he would have two nickels…which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I just saw a trailer for House of Dynamite and it bummed me out because movies about mutually-assured nuclear destruction haven’t been particularly relevant to the zeitgeist since my childhood. But here we are, again.

While Trump is bulldozing the White House, Pritzker is building a veteran’s home. Maybe the Texas National Guard just came here for better veteran’s services?

Nicholas Meyer wrote two DIFFERENT movies about people traveling through time to modern-day San Francisco — one from the future and one from the past. In both movies, the woman they meet in SF decides to travel through time with the hero.

I really hope that the future doesn’t refer to 2025 as the Civil Cold War, like some kind of pre-Ft. Sumter tension point.

Security is great and all, but the site I'm most happy about having two-factor authentication is Westlaw. God forbid anyone ever find out the dumb shit I have to research and double-check sometimes. They'd yank my bar card.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

just got an email from my local Democratic Party office, reminding me that their “September Party Meeting” will be held on October 8, and it struck me as being very on-brand.

Go see One Battle After Another. See it in wide format, like IMAX, if possible. Best movie of the year (and I thought Sinners was a lock)

So, the decision to keep ICE fully funded and operational during the shutdown shows that the philosophy must be "get out of our country before you try to take advantage of the hypothetical services that we aren't offering to anybody."

It's always hilarious when judges and justices in my State urge lawyers to stand up to bullying. It's the ultimate game of "stop hitting yourself."

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

If the United States Supreme Court can accrete to itself all power of constitutional review by fiat in Marbury v. Madison, it can abdicate that power by failing to actually exercise any rational constitutional review. You could make a good case that Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo demonstrates this.

Hypothetically, your vision of Donald Trump suggests there may be no elections without complimenting him. Cuban’s view of Trump is far less deserving of compliment than the hateful version of Trump we already know.

So, today I won a case in a way that will let someone out of prison 24 years early. But an hour after that, I lost a case in which my client is serving 9 years. Based in part on the order that those opinions were released in, I'm way more mad about losing than I am happy about winning!
