If you're on a call with other people in North Texas at 1 pm on the first Wednesday of every month, you get the joy of everyone's tornado siren test happening at the same time.

There's not even a darkly funny way you can interpret this...like it's a bad joke or something. It's just purely anti-semitic

Husband is not a lawyer, so he can handle about 2-3 episodes of 5-4 before he begs for the sweet release of death, unfortunately. Also, we love IBCK and Maintenance Phase.

Annual request for the summer roadtrip podcast recommendations. We love Smartless, Behind the Bastards, Hardcore History, Dr Death, anything from American Scandal, anything related to corporate scandals (WeCrashed, etc) and anything that's extremely funny.

I appreciate how Raising Cane’s kills it so much with the chicken, sauce, and toast, that we don’t mind that the fries are wildly subpar.

As should always be said: Jonathan Mitchell is a truly evil person who is currently assisting abusive men torment their victims under Texas' bounty hunter abortion law. Not enough bad things can happen to him.

"The role is hybrid with the expectation that the employee will be in the office five days per week." We are really playing fast and loose with the word "hybrid" these days.

Don't know if it was life stress (both general and specific-to-me) related that made me react to a normal procedure that is not all-that-painful like that, but it sure felt like it.

Had a very routine, usually no stress medical procedure in a doctor's office this morning (about an hour after opinions were released) and ended up randomly almost passing out. Tunnel vision, hearing loss, dizziness, sweating, and nausea. It eventually passed but it was wild.

FWIW I think they hold Trump is not immune, over a blistering dissent from Alito. But the point is made by postponing the trial until after the election. Netchoice could be a darkhorse for the batshit crazy opinion.

One thing you learn quickly in-house is the shockingly low quality of so much legal work (just based on what firm lawyers provide you to review), and this is even for "sophisticated" corporations as clients. For individuals who do not know better, it's a tragedy when lawyers are this incompetent

Listen - if SCOTUS holds today that Trump has immunity, I think the outcome of the debate doesn't matter as much. Biden will have many options.
