Lawyer. Did you go to school for words or something? Yes. Yes, I did.
How do you tell IT the date of the "incident" of your lost phone when the loss dawned on you with a spreading sense of dread over the course of weeks

Me, rejecting all counterparty redlines, and simply changing the font to TNR - yep that'll do it. Hitting send, sitting back to await 100% agreement with our positions, now that they have ✨serifs✨
Mr. Rubio said switching back to Times New Roman would “restore decorum and professionalism to the department’s written work.” Calibri is “informal” when compared to serif typefaces like Times New Roman and “clashes” with the department’s official letterhead. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

Cyclocross does it right: Sports need inflatable mayo bottles instead of ads for gambling.

Today is my birthday. I spent much of the year having stuff carved off me or irradiated for cancer. But I also was supported by loving friends, many of you on here. I am so grateful.

Reading a contract amendment chock full of "For clarity, [none of this makes sense either]" clauses. Just don't say "For clarity"! You are admitting to failure!

Need recs for a generalist lawyer in Southern Illinois for a family friend. Father with dementia co-owns the family biz & is causing liability issues, as they’re trying to use a brokerage firm to find a buyer for the business. Small town, sounds like corp docs might be a mess. Any takers?

I got a velour headbands to use while washing my face and their elastic is too tight, they want to pop off my skull like a medieval trebuchet situation

I am not storming a castle I just want to wash my face

I know this is a dog whistle but I can’t help doing a mental checklist of what I learned in Western Civ to consider the proposition.
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This mass migration we've seen needs to be met with mass deportations. 20 million people came here illegally. There's flaws in our legal immigration system. I think this is a real civilizational issue for us here in the West."

Maybe pause before using “girl” as a pejorative modifier.

Why might women believe they don’t deserve as much - well. Do we think a lifetime of slights has no effect?

I am so tired. And yeah, I wish I’d not been born female. Imagine the freedom! Fuck. Better not; picturing it makes me too sad.

Starting work again on Monday and despite clearing out underbrush periodically over the last few cancer months I have over 2000 unread emails. Do I simply mark them all “read” and not look back?
