@jeff I'm a lawyer and what you just wrote makes no sense whatsoever.

@selzero The only thing less likely to be jailed than a white man is an orange one, apparently.

I feel so sorry for those who are so inherently weak that they can be turned into porn addicts by reading a children’s book with a single kiss in it.(Look it up…it’s some Texas rightwingnut)

You wanna know why marriages fail today? Because couples are more interested in the production of the wedding and the appearance of perfection after that than actually learning how to be loving to each other.

@Liliana @Npars01 Sadly, many of those photos were stolen from the photographers and posted to WC without their permission.

@Liliana NOT if the photographer who created the photograph did not post it. That is what I am saying: many of the photos were stolen from the photographers’ sites and posted by others to WC, illegally.

Aaaannnnd the new car battery I bought yesterday seems to be leaking. I would manage to have picked a wonky one from the rack. Luckily, it was from Costco so returns are easy and it's very nearby.The Fiancé is heading back now to make an exchange. On the good side, he is taking the old battery too and can get the recycling rebate taken care of at the same time.

Not only is it a regressive tax in sheep’s clothing, it wouldn’t touch FICA, which is already unfair to poorer workers. Orange monster will only make the poor poorer and the rich richer.https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewleahey/2024/06/14/can-trump-eliminate-the-income-tax/

Tomorrow is the Juneteenth federal holiday. No mail, no courts, banks are closed. I will not be working. Working on this holiday is a covert way of saying it isn't an important holiday. If your boss says you have to work, especially in a non-urgent job, gently reply (this is NOT legal advice) something like, "Oh, I knew you were an unapologetic capitalist, but I didn't know you were also a racist." Consider adding "I'm getting holiday/overtime pay, right?"

FWIW, in Calif., employers do *not* have to observe holidays or pay (extra) for them, which is kind of surprising in this state. Your state labor laws may vary!

Every so often I have a client who asks about a defendant who files (or threatens to) for declaratory judgment of non-infringement when it's a no-brainer of an infringement, "How can they sue?" I have to explain that anyone can sue for anything--that's how our system works, but that doesn't mean it will get past a motion to dismiss, much less win. See: (h/t @KimCrayton1)

Reading the news while watching Watch on the Rhine on TCM. Emotional ping-pong.

The Fiancé and I have decided only one of us will go to the march this Saturday. One reason is the puppy, another is it’s better if only one of us gets arrested if shit goes down (see also, puppy). It will be me at the march since he thinks a lawyer is less likely to get arrested, in part bc I know to govern my emotions but also bc he can’t guarantee he won’t punch a nazi. Neither can I, honestly, but I have never thrown a punch so it’s much less likely. 😁
