Irrelevant but obligatory aside: Munsingwear sighting!
Where does this guy find the time
That paw is the size of my dog
It’s almost time to start watching white women in cable knit sweaters fall in love with the handsome man from their hometown who’s wife just died and left him in charge of the rundown bed and breakfast they bought before her tragic death. Little Timmy needs a new mom and Madisynn will do just fine.
Worst week of my life (only half hyperbole) and I still cooked the chicken in the fridge before it went bad. Truly unprecedented levels of grownuptitude
I know the SAVE plan started accruing interest again on August 1; to my knowledge, interest isn’t accruing on my loans for the time being but god only knows tbh
Yeah, I got such a bill today and the whole thing is so shady
My biggest fear is that there’s going to be a “whoopsie, we reset your counts” and it is not altogether unreasonable
I love it when the federal government holds my information hostage
Breaking into your own office is peak 2025
Is it appropriate to ask an attorney what their rates are? Is that a thing?

The best part about doing a clothing rental service is trying on every outfit and wondering whether it’s trendy or I just look insane
“Why are you getting up an hour early to exercise? Can’t you just run in your dreams?”
✨stop telling 1Ls they can’t go to therapy because of character & fitness✨
An entire literature exists in support of my claims. This will not stand.
I'm sure it's very good. Maybe something made it moot and, so, they felt the need to vacate it.
*how daren’t they
The powers that be have decided not to publish my Munsingwear note and, frankly, how dare they.
There are only two of us in Empirical Analysis and the Law. I wonder if they’ll cancel it.
His occasional eye contact with the camera is so unsettling.
The only thing keeping me from cutting my losses and bailing on 3L is the impetus to take out as many loans as possible before the cap goes into effect. Thanks, BBB!
I think it might be the detergent they use. It’s just kind of scratchy. My willingness to gripe about a free robe is probably the real issue here. 🤣
Sorry to hear, Alan.
What a fun contract that must be when you get to be in charge of a group of incredibly immature young adults, and then when they fire you because they abused one another you get to say "but I didn't knowwwwwww millions of dollars please" dailynorthwestern.com/2025/08/21/t...
I have MPRE’d.
As consolation for having to take an MPRE practice test on my birthday, I cashed in my Lexis+ rewards points for an Uber Eats gift card and have just ordered a fancy restaurant’s entire dessert menu. I am not kidding, sadly.
Tarifi couldn’t pick the minimum wage rate out of a lineup
My annual tradition. This and cookie cake, but the cookie cake place closed.
The criticisms here of the effects on law students are right, but miss the most important piece: hiring on first semester grades hurts first-gen students, students who don't have lawyers in the family, students who take a little longer to adjust to law school, etc. 1/ www.law.com/2025/08/18/h...

Who forgets when Roosevelt showed Charles de Gaulle his baseball caps during the Nazi invasion

She would like to know if she can haz some of that for winter
I believe the appropriate solution is a well-timed iTunes gift card.
Two cardinals. (Mine is the one on the right.)
For my birthday, I have booked a dog-friendly hotel featuring spa. My first spa visit, and hers. She can’t wait for the mud bath.
Happy birthday @theglipper.bsky.social! Many happy returns. I will continue to skeet.
I am Uber Water and it is a full-time job.

Congratulations, Jerry!
Enclosed please find my resume, transcript, and writing sample. In lieu of references I have attached three little jokes. I look forward to your call.
I feel like they’re louder this year…somehow
This is so cool, Alan! Good luck with the final week!

Chicago has three Chihulys. Or fake Chihulys, although I read somewhere that he did a Carolyn Keene ghostwriting thing and let his assistants make a lot of the pieces, so many Chihulys are fake Chihulys.
Have you ever taken virtual tours of all the JAMS arbitration center locations to see which one is most soothing/has the best snacks? Of course you have, and so have I. It’s Miami for soothing, Vegas for snacks.

At 23 years old, Scooter is one fit Southern three-banded armadillo! His secret? One Fast Cat exercise wheel. His keepers share that Scooter “loves it and runs on it all the time.” You’re an inspiration to us all, little buddy! #InternationalArmadilloDay
Little historical nugget I've been looking into: since 1937, people have routinely said in casual books that Frederick the Great brewed his coffee with champagne rather than water. I didn't think it's likely to be true, but I've been digging into where it came from. 1/
Hang on, let me pour out my Nespresso tank

Mine is in eight! (Well, seven now, I guess.) Happy birth month, fellow Leo!
Well, if Russia is in there, bombard them with pro se and sovcit filings. That'll make them think twice. 🙃
How could this have happened to such a sophisticated, state-of-the-art syst—
It’s time for my bimonthly ritual of logging into Pinterest, getting inspired by someone’s linen closet organization concept, putting a bunch of little baskets in my Container Store online cart, then getting overwhelmed and abandoning the whole enterprise
We’ll be drafting an amicus brief for the October term in clinic. I’m guessing Salazar, but kinda hoping for Callais.
I almost respect his dedication to the bit. Almost.
I must confess, these days I’m just cruising through the litany of doom in search of the occasional @evanbernick.bsky.social dog/baby/Simpsons content, @rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social historical tidbit, @smmarotta.bsky.social Disney snapshot, and @theglipper.bsky.social telling someone to never skeet.
Back in my day, writers didn't plagiarize AI. They stole their wives' works and sold them as their own.
I am no law professor, but what I always remember is the vast majority of lawyers never deal with the hottest-button issues. They handle traffic offenses and divorces and slip-and-falls and trusts-and-estates and medical malpractice, all areas where the Rule of Law is alive and well. /1
so will I
you'll all be sorry when I launch my substack
Show me your quick getaway vehicle.
The orange font on black screen + the clickiest clackiest keyboard was an unbeatable combo.
The girl ahead of me in line has never heard of Windows 95. Bury my withered corpse at sea
We have graduated to full-body cooling. (Yes, that is a second, larger cooling mat in front. We provide the immersive spa experience around here.)
tell me about it, tiny aloe plant on the counter at the cafe near my house
Bojangles biscuits reign supreme. As does their sweet tea. We used to keep a gallon of it in our dorm room fridge. My blood sugar spikes just thinking about it.
The light in the stylist’s eyes at the beginning of the hair appointment when they’re sure they’re the one who can save me v. The abject despair 45 minutes later when they realize my hair is just like this

Steppenwolf/The Goodman Theatre if there’s something playing
Food: depends on where you are, I tend to just get where I’m headed and Yelp. Otherwise, good neighborhoods for food are Wicker Park/West Town (variety), Logan Square, Pilsen (Mexican). West Loop/Randolph is popular but kinda bougie
Hotel that’s good for walking to sightseeing and transit: www.hilton.com/en/hotels/ch... Museums: Art Institute, Field Museum, Science & Industry Sights: Harold Washington library, Lincoln Park Zoo/Conservatory, UChicago campus, lily pond, Lake Shore Drive/beaches, architectural tour on river
