9 video games in a grid: Minecraft, Stardew Valley, World of Warcraft, Hades, Hades 2, Rimworld, Oxygen Not Included, Baldur's Gate 3, and Guildwars 2.
I definitely should have made room for Civ II, my first gaming love. But it's hard to pick 9, especially looking back.
Mmhmm. Extremely common <firstname><last name>@gmail.com, thank you very much. Inordinately proud of that even though it is super annoying when other people with the same name pretend that is their email and I get their mis-addressed junk email... 🫠
My exact response too!
I like to have 3 docs: outline, FAQ, and list of cases by name with short summaries. Collect smart friends to moot and brainstorm questions for your FAQ, and to workshop your intro. Usually prepping a FAQ/case list is enough and I don't need to reference them. They are a security blanket.
The Minn bar assoc has a service to email all the civil orders from our federal district. Before this past month, grants of habeas petitions were rare. I searched my email and found less than 1 a year on average before this. Today, ~25 so far. Dunno how they have time for anything else.
Came here to say this! 🫣
There is always room for improvement, of course. I had my frustrations. But I could see the progress from Obama's admin to Biden's, and Biden's admin had a lot of Trump cleanup to do too.
I feel like a lot of people genuinely don't understand or know what government does and focus way too much on what a politician says. Biden's government was the best the US has ever had on LGBTQ+ rights, especially trans rights. Healthcare regs, education regs, anti-discrim enforcement, judges, etc.
I love this photo. It captures the place and the time of year beautifully.
Yep.
That is exactly right. They could win that defense (assuming Cooper doesn't just dismiss that claim) and it doesn't matter. They still lose the public accommodations claim. Under the MHRA, public accommodations cover a lot. Hospitals, restaurants, theaters, sports teams and competitions, etc.
The court calls it partial SJ on the public accommodations claim because with affirmative SJ, the district court will still need to decide damages. And the statute is fee shifting.
Note that the legitimate business purpose defense is like a BFOQ that only applies to one of the two provisions of the MHRA. It is a complete win (affirmative SJ) for Cooper on the public accommodations claim. Public accommodations are defined very broadly in the MHRA.
Can't wait to read my copy too!
She's my favorite audiobook actor and I especially love it when she reads your books!

Stayed up late reading it and it has stuck with me since I finished reading several months ago.
Started my new legal job and learned that the *house style* is Times New Roman, justified text, two spaces at the end of a sentence. Dead.
Egg. Salad. Donut. I look forward to Fridays in Lowertown for this.
A delicious brioche donut filled with egg salad, topped with green onions, in a paper sleeve.
The egg salad donut is my favorite thing.
Well we all have our days, don't we Gonzo? And honestly 75% goode is mostly goode. You'll get it next time.
This must have been a thing on the right wing media of the day because my *dad*!! published an op-ed in the local newspaper saying the same, that business owners were essentially being *enslaved* by being forced to provide service to black patrons.
Ok it took me a whole day to get this... 😅
Gorsuch's attempt to solve the problem Kagan raises: just make the government pinky swear that it will seek review on the merits.
The ridiculous gender essentialism is one of the reasons he's so reliably wrong on trans issues.
Very excited about any news that hints Trump might have a hard time getting judges appointed this term.
Hopefully that means they have a plan to do something cool with it and not just let it sit vacant...
Um, what? How do they figure they can obstruct the skyway access?
I am concerned about the fact that the Biden administration apparently plans to leave this out there, open, as a proposed rule that has gone through notice and comment without finalizing a rule. That invites the Trump administration to piggyback on their work to immediately issue a horrific rule.
