As a paralegal who files on behalf of attorneys, the "please forward your code before it expires" email is now my least-favorite part of filing days.

As someone who (generally) does not file his own documents anymore, the "text the paralegal or associate the code when it's filing time" is now my least-favorite part of filing days.

Listened to the Blank Check episode on RAISING ARIZONA and now need to sit down for a few minutes to try and make sense of the fact that Trey Wilson was only 38 when he made that movie.

one of the stranger phenomena in American life is that hate is supposed to flow in one direction (rural people get to hate urban people, Republicans get to hate Democrats) and if the hate goes the other way people pretend as if this is very upsetting.

The media made a HUGE deal out of "basket of deplorables" and "cling to their guns or religion." But, of course, it will totally ignore Trump saying he hates Democrats: "I hate them. I believe they hate their country."

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee. Well worth the hype. Probably my favorite new release in years. For fans of Velvet Underground, The Shirelles, David Lynch, Shin Joong-hyun, T-Rex.

Instead of prosecuting the mayor of America’s largest city with the ample evidence that he took bribes from a foreign government, the Trump administration decided to leave him in office, and use the threat of charges to blackmail him into carrying out their agenda. And they did it all in the open.

I know the “imagine if a Democrat did this” is overplayed, but if a Democratic president had given George Soros access to government personnel details and Treasury payments I’m pretty sure we’d have a literal civil war.
