I'm just a lawyer who showed up on time for his 2:30 hearing, waiting for a judge to call him into court.

Then a different old dude who wanted to finesse me for $10 with a story about being stranded and needing to catch a bus to somewhere interrupted me while I was talking on the phone. I don't mind that story! I will give you money! But don't interrupt me, a stranger to you, when I'm on the phone!

I just went to have a quiet lunch by myself before court and an old dude who had seen me lock my bike up just came in the restaurant, said he wanted to ask me something about my bike (which he did), and then sat and talked with me for my whole meal. It was OK, but not what I wanted!

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

Bold play to be on the New Haven-bound train from Hartford and go into the bathroom as the train leaves State Street.

Goddammit. D'Angelo?! At 51?!!!

As best I can tell from this article, this guy was using AI to generate porn that depicted robots having sex, which is probably the only endeavor that seems truly suited to AI.

I need the elementary school adults to exercise a lot more curatorial discretion. I just don't need every hastily colored leaf cut-out my child executes.
