I could have titled this post: “In case you needed another reason not to use LinkedIn,” but that wouldn’t be fair. No one actually needs any additional reasons not to use that platform. The “grindset mindset,” AI groupies, and other toxic personalities you can find there daily provide more than sufficient reason to let reasonable […]
Stop me if you are shocked to hear it, but the legal profession won’t stop trying to tout AI and GAI in particular as something that absolutely has to be enmeshed into all aspects of a lawyer’s practice. But here’s the thing, there continues to be a lot of things that GAI simply isn’t useful […]
Those are the four words that should be used to succinctly define Pam Bondi, the current Attorney General of the United States. I have written about her previously, and I fully recognize that the Florida Bar is never going to take action against her. But rarely does a day pass without something occurring that serves […]
If you need a very short version of everything I am about to write, it would go a little something like this. Don’t use a calculator to try to determine whether you have spelled a word correctly. If you do that, don’t blame the calculator because you are the problem. Even though it all transpired […]
Some days the inspiration kicks in and other days it most certainly does not. If this were Instagram, I’d likely try to spout some sort of perspiration to inspiration platitude. But this isn’t, so I won’t. I will though write about two items that somehow caught my attention this week and even though I can’t […]
Yes, if you are about the same age as me, you can sing that title to The Bangles tune of “Just another Manic Monday …” So, this is a weirder follow up post as it follows up on something I posted in October 2021 but involves substantive content that came into existence in July 2021 […]
This past year has certainly been … something. Other than the ongoing pandemic, this year feels like it will historically be defined (at least within the United States) by the various assaults on democracy starting with the January 6 insurrection, continuing with the efforts of one political party to choose its voters rather than vice […]
I need something fun in my life at the moment to help deal with some of the insanity that is all around us all. So, let’s tell something of a non-linear story about how haphazardly the disciplinary rules can be enforced as against lawyers. (Okay, so maybe you and I see “fun” differently.) Typically, many […]
Now, I’m certain the 5 or 6 of you still left who haven’t been alienated by the long hiatus are a bit miffed about the lack of content over the last couple of weeks. Fair, but technically there has been new content posted to the blog first on January 10 and then on January 12, […]
For the second straight year, I’m ending the year with an homage to a concept (ripping off an idea) pursued by Nate DiMeo the writer and performer of The Memory Palace podcast. I’m going to re-post what was my favorite post from the past year. Deciding what to put out there again this year was fairly […]
