Welcome to all the people joining! I mostly post about the legal industry, #legaltech, and the practice of law. I also talk about amateur cooking under the hashtag #peasantking.

My ultimate goal is to run a #TTRPG live stream of all lawyer players mock-arguing about the rules as we play. #JDandD

I was on one of @abovethelaw.com's podcasts talking about AI & the Law. Please listen to the whole thing before yelling at me.

TL;DR: If you're on the AI Hype Train™, I'll try to derail you & talk about the dangers of "AI," but if you dismiss their benefits, I'll point out some pro-social uses.

My work anniversary at @goclio.bsky.social always coincides with #ClioCon. I've been a Lawyer in Residence for 13 years!

Gathering with 3,000 friends, #TeamClio colleagues, and customers to celebrate #legaltech for 2 days in Boston?

Sounds like a great way to mark the occasion.

Law Firm Mergers Accelerated In Q3 After Slow First Half - Law360 Pulse

After a relatively quiet start to the year, U.S. law firms announced more combinations during the third quarter of 2025 than in any other third quarter going back five years, with the uptick driven largely by combinations between midsize and small firms.

Came here for this. Leaving satisfied.

I just want to know why I’m added to the group leadership Signal chat?

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social & @kenwhite.bsky.social, is this just some weird homage to how Vance and Hegseth have no opsec?

Is it a prank on me?

It’s all just Night Court memes!

Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social · 2d

Since we’re clearing the air, I might as well put out something I’ve been concealing for a very long time.

I’m the Vice President of Antifa (Western Continental Division)

Popehat Agitates And Irritates @kenwhite.bsky.social · 2d

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

We're all having insomnia and then nightmares due to the sheep in #AlienEarth? Just me?

Counting sheep doesn't help with the insomnia, because that one keeps showing up.

Then actual sleep is ruined by a return appearance of the creepy hogget.

13 years ago and 1 week ago, I joined @goclio.bsky.social. It was just a #legtech startup then. Now, it is a $3b valued company operating in 130 countries around the world.

Social media is what lead me to this role.

I know #LawSky is filled with Constitutional crisis news right now.

Here’s your reminder that the law can also tackle issues of a more wholesome nature - like naked butlers.

New #IPLaw exam question just dropped like a pair of tearaway pants.

hunky butlers, sued* for trademark infringement because it called its employees "butlers in the buff," argues "butlers in the buff" is generic for semi-clothed butler services & should be ineligible for trademark protection

This is giving out talking points to minimize real news of harms.

Joshua Lenon @joshualenon.bsky.social · 3d

That's my take. I doubt they'll actually pay for any needy families to get life-saving food.
