Welcome to all the people joining! I mostly post about the legal industry, #legaltech, and the practice of law. I also talk about amateur cooking under the hashtag #peasantking.

My ultimate goal is to run a #TTRPG live stream of all lawyer players mock-arguing about the rules as we play. #JDandD

Now comes the point in business travel when you stumble through the dark hotel room, vainly trying to find where the sadists put the light switches on six completely different lamps.

A surprisingly blunt headline from the NYTimes.

This is lawless behavior that would get any developing country's leader a ICC warrant and the inability to ever leave their country again.

Breaking News: A U.S. military strike killed six people on a boat in international waters near Venezuela, President Trump said, asserting without evidence that they were drug smugglers for an unspecified group his team had labeled terrorists.

Happy #Thanksgiving from Canada!

I was lucky to have multiple turkey dinners with family and friends this weekend.

Closing out the day with “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.” Some of the pilgrim history references aren’t landing in my new country. Still, the crowd enjoyed it.

Looking forward to seeing him speak at #ClioCon this week!

I was on one of @abovethelaw.com's podcasts talking about AI & the Law. Please listen to the whole thing before yelling at me.

TL;DR: If you're on the AI Hype Train™, I'll try to derail you & talk about the dangers of "AI," but if you dismiss their benefits, I'll point out some pro-social uses.

My work anniversary at @goclio.bsky.social always coincides with #ClioCon. I've been a Lawyer in Residence for 13 years!

Gathering with 3,000 friends, #TeamClio colleagues, and customers to celebrate #legaltech for 2 days in Boston?

Sounds like a great way to mark the occasion.
