Mercy just spent ten minutes going frame by frame through the plane crash in Castaway and explaining the physics and mechanics of why the movie got it wrong using equations and blueprints I don't entirely understand and I just want you to know this
I swear the next person who tells me "but they can't do that, that's illegal" is going to witness my head exploding.
"Illegal" DOES NOT mean "impossible."
Birdy Tuvok, a pineapple conure, sits contentedly on one foot on top of my laptop screen. He is holding a baby carrot in the other foot. The top of the baby carrot is broken off and in his beak.

So, uh, the Bible isn't an instruction manual, a warranty deed, a chain of title, or a governing document.
Expecting other people to live by your holy book isn't religious freedom, it's proselytizing.
Getting four or five phone calls and a dozen emails every day from companies trying to sell me their latest legal AI gimmick does not help me. I'm not going to be adopting generative AI, now leave me alone. I don't need AI to save time. What would save time is if you stopped bugging me about it ffs
Trump demands ‘unconditional surrender’ from Iran President Trump says “there will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” On a social media post, Trump went on to call for new Iranian leaders he deems “acceptable”, after which he said the US and its allies would work to help Iran recover.
How exactly does he think this is going to go?
We can't bomb Iran into an unconditional surrender. So either Trump is lying, or he's planning a disastrous ground invasion that will kill tens of thousands of innocent people (at least) and almost certainly end up requiring a draft.
Are we great again yet?
The problem with just reflexively defending whomever opposes Trump is that you end up defending Marjorie Taylor Greene for saying Trump isn't transphobic *enough*

Anyway I think we should have a pathway for jailhouse lawyers to become licensed attorneys but the legal profession isn't ready for that conversation tbh.
I just don't want to accidentally start reinforcing the paper ceiling leftistly, tbh. Lots of people don't go to or graduate college because of things outside their control, or go to trade school instead. It doesn't mean they aren't smart. And lots of people with doctorates seem frighteningly dense.
The problem with Mullin isn't that he doesn't have a Bachelor's Degree. Lots of very smart people don't have Bachelor's Degrees. And I'd even say you can be smart enough to run a government department without one.
The problem with Mullin is that he's an evil fascist.
What's it like being Illinois' only name-your-own-price lawyer? At the end of today, I had nine hundred unread emails and three hundred unread texts and phone messages.
Today is a typical day.
*Heaven finishes the case of G-d v. Epstein*
The Accuser: I am so glad to be done with this *heavy sigh*
G-d: "Now calling Me v. Kissinger"
The Accuser: "Wait what the fuck?"
Yup! I love that so much. I wonder if they're elected like ours lmao
There's a version of Jewish theology that says that what Christians call the Devil is actually just a prosecuting angel.
After getting done with Netanyahu, the Israeli government, Stephen Miller, Epstein, and Randy Fine, that angel is going to demand a raise.
And a vacation.
Imagine sending me a long email complaining that my advocacy for Palestine and representation of people hurt by ICE is "distracting people" from their "day to day responsibilities" and "as a lawyer" it's my "civic duty" to "maintain normalcy."
Stephen Miller, you're next.
And I can't wait.
Lol get fucked Kristi
All the people who say we can't let kids be trans because we have to "protect" them are perfectly fine with murdering Iranian kids.
Almost as though we don't actually care about protecting kids, we just want to hurt people we deem as "other."
Israel isn't illegally occupying Palestine because of Israeli genes. Israel is illegally occupying Palestine because they're violently oppressing and murdering Palestinians. Genes have exactly zero to do with it.
I literally do not care what your genes say. If you live somewhere, no one gets to kill you and steal your house. That's just not how genes work.
Let me put it a different way.
If every Jew on earth was genetically proven to be from Israel and every Palestinian was genetically proven to be from somewhere else, WHAT ISRAEL HAS SPENT THE LAST CENTURY DOING WOULD STILL BE JUST AS WRONG AND IT WOULD MAKE NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER.
I have to be honest, I'm really not loving all this "DNA shows" as a basis for opposing Israeli genocide.
If you need to do a DNA test before deciding whether mass murder is bad, your moral compass fucking sucks.
Boycott these companies now for their complicity in Israel's occupation, apartheid and genocide against Palestinians. Priority boycott targets of the BDS movement: Chevron CALTEX hp TEXACO Carrefour (intel, XBOX DELL Disney+ AYA teva Reebok sodastream RE/MAX Pressure targets of the BDS movement: Microsoft Google amazon Expedia SIEMENS airbnb Booking.com CISCO Organic boycotts supported by the BDS movement: M Coca-Cola Domino's Pizza Hut PIZZA PAPA JOHN'S KING WIX ZARA September 2025
Want a fun and easy way to support Palestine? Pick a brand on this list and stop patronizing it! Then, add another! The best part is that many of these companies also support Trump, so your boycott benefits multiple great causes simultaneously!
The Israeli military has issued a forced evacuation order for all of the southern suburbs of Beirut. That’s the Dhahiyeh area. We’re talking about an area, according to the latest estimates, with some 400,000 people. I understand that the Israeli army has never before issued an evacuation order for this area. There’s been a lot of gunfire in the last 10 minutes or so. That is sort of a warning by the forces in control here to tell people they need to evacuate. There had already been an Israeli evacuation order in force for southern Lebanon. Bu this, with the incessant noise of an Israeli drone overhead, is bringing the fight that Israel has with Hezbollah much closer to the centre of Beirut
Please keep in mind that as the United States illegally attacks Iran, Israel is threatening to take over a massive portion of Lebanon.
Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

Late court night look! Some days, court lasts until 7 pm 😳
