Nobody special. Just a lawyer with a family. Oxford comma advocate. SFF fan. Hobby woodworker, baker, and gardener. He/Him.

I discovered Days Gone plays great on the Steam Deck. This has been very good news for me.

I desperately wish I wasn't in a "no extra spending" mode right now because I'd buy a bunch of these for Lisa and Little One.

So on the Other Site™️, Ralph Nader of all people blamed one person for the situation we find ourselves in. Want to guess who he blamed? Go on, guess. That's right. Hillary.

Fair. But of course good luck proving it since the Court also gutted what evidence can be presented.

Yup, POTUS is Commander in Chief so military orders are all official acts.

So when Trump gives Russia military secrets in exchange for cash payments, that's just foreign policy so he's immune. Right?

That's how I'm reading it right now, too. And it's pretty scary to be honest. Also absolutely disgusting.

I'm trying to see how this isn't just complete immunity and I'm not seeing any realistic daylight in the opinion.

I'm reading the opinion and it says he enjoys absolute immunity regarding threats to fire the attorney general if they don't do what he wants. So, he could easily just say "investigate or prosecute my friends and you're fired" and he's 100% immune, right?

Stock is done. Just need to cool, remove the fat, and then I can freeze it.

I haven't seen independent verification of this, yet, but it would be incredible if it was true.

Working from home today so it's my chance to make some beef stock. First step is cook the bones and onions with some tomato paste in the oven for a few hours, then add everything to a stockpot. Now to fill with water and boil for 6-10hrs.

Interestingly, in both cases one of the conflicts was failure to disclose concurrent representation by an advisor to the special committee. The takeaway seems to be pretty straightforward: Disclose concurrent representations for advisors.

I’m a little behind on reading/summarizing cases, but it’s interesting that there were two MFW reversals by the Delaware Supreme Court in short order: Sarasota v. Inovalon (Mar. 25, 2024) Dearborn v. Brookfield (May 1, 2024) Both on disclosure grounds re: advisor conflicts

ODC finally caught on, and the Delaware Supreme Court just accepted his “voluntary surrender” of the license he apparently was never qualified to have. Also he has to clean up his website so it doesn’t say he’s admitted to the bar here (which he never was). Don’t do this, kids.

Oops. A Rhode Island lawyer applied in Delaware to be a Limited Practitioner which is limited only to people who are in-house counsel. Except he wasn’t in house counsel. His website says he “expanded his practice to Delaware in 2007… securing admission to [the] state bar[].”

People who think the Court will only discard precedent once are infuriating. It's like an inverse boy who cried wolf. Except every time a wolf came and ate sheep and the townspeople say "maybe this time he's exaggerating" every time.

I might give it a look as what I've seen makes it seem fascinating. For whatever reason I'm not a huge fan of jump scare horror, but atmospheric horror/suspense is just fine.
