I thought the New Gilded Age was going to come with better hats

New Meta policy makes sense because Texas, unlike California, is famously full of politically neutral people

Live your life so that hundreds of thousands of people do not celebrate your untimely death

Big fan of Interior Chinatown on Hulu. If you like mindbending mystery shows, with comedy and heart, and meaningful themes around identity and what it means to play a part in society, you’ll like this. And it’s a 10-ep limited series. Perfect holiday binge!

God bless the people whose instinct is to run towards the fire to help. Meanwhile my instinct is to stay a good distance away and, like, raise awareness about the fire in a mildly entertaining and educational manner? We all have our roles in society.

I know we’re supposed to become more conservative as we age, but I’ve become quite radical. For example, I believe government should exist and should help people.

A book I found useful the last time we went through this national nightmare was Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny.” Short book with lessons on how to fight and survive an authoritarian state.

Lesson 1: Do not obey in advance.

Sure, I can “go with the flow.” As long as the flow has been scheduled in advance and I have direct control over every drop of it, yes, no problem.

You know how you’re always a little aware of the inevitability of death and your own mortality but you can’t think about it every day or else you wouldn’t ever be able to live your life? That’s how I feel about this election

Don’t forget that abortion isn’t just healthcare. The right to decide what you do with your own body is a core privacy right as well. Supporting the right to abortion also supports the right to privacy for all.

Sometimes it helps to remember that you're basically a very old baby. Are you cranky? Have a snack. Are you sad? Take a nap. Do you feel frustrated for no reason, like the whole world is against you, but you don't know why? Maybe you need to go play outside!

Me as a law student deciding on a career in tech law: It’s so cool that this field is always changing!

Me as a tech lawyer: oh no

This Halloween weekend, I have to confess once again:

It’s me, the person putting drugs in the Halloween candy 🍭

Being absolutely serious when I say this is the energy I need from my President

@Gargron @AustinB I’m watching Dead to Me. But that one too 😂

This is a show where multiple characters become implicated in multiple criminal investigations, and there are NO LAWYERS

I’m just a girl, sitting in front of a TV, yelling at every character who speaks to the police without a lawyer

The details are horrifying. The abuse these intelligent animals suffered is bad enough. Now imagine how Neuralink would treat human test subjects or, worse, “consumers.” https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pcrm-neuralink-monkey-deaths/
