I need a new pinned post, so here goes. I mostly post about #Disney parks, Star Wars, STL Stuff ⚜️, travel, anything I find funny, great food and wine, legal stuff, Mizzou sports, STL Cardinals, KC Chiefs, human rights, and blue politics. If you're into any of that, too, give a dude a follow!

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Hey travelers, anyone have any recs for a belt that looks nice and professional that doesn't contain metal? Constantly getting hung up going through metal detectors at court, TSA, etc. Most I've seen are too casual.

Honestly, yeah! Have met a TON of amazing people, many of whom I now have a real-life connection to or otherwise just think of as "friends," as opposed to "online friends" Social media has plenty of pitfalls, but used properly, it can be a force for serious good and a way to develop community.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

I love how families and friend groups develop their own lingo. Without context or explaining what it means, what is a phrase that has specific meaning to your people but that wouldn't make sense to anyone else?

I'll start: "one seal day."

Also, can we agree that when you're the sister of a beloved American icon, it's irresponsible to go on the internet and just randomly post shit like "prayers for Dolly" when she's just "a little under the weather?" Sheesh 🙄

Ok, this update on Dolly Parton from her sister makes me feel a lot better...

Frieda Parton Facebook post: "I want to clear something up. I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference."

Pretty accurate recreation of the conclusion of my argument at this morning's hearing. But I'm pretty sure it was a winner, because the judge looked really annoyed while opposing counsel was delivering his rambling, nonsensical argument.

Emilia D’Albero trained like an athlete. She sculpted and sliced until her hands ached, then bought a second fridge.

Her sport? Cheese.

She won the Mondial du Fromage, one of the world’s top cheese competitions, in September.

In recognition of National Kale Day, I'll be eating arugula, Swiss chard, and really every OTHER leafy green so those of you pretending to enjoy kale have plenty. Hardest of hard passes

I kinda wish we weren’t experiencing “historical things” as often as we are 😬

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Immergut: You're an officer of the court. Do you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order?

Hamilton: I'm not a policy maker

Immergut: You're a lawyer

In response, Hamilton basically argues no geographic limit to federalization of CA guard...

Yet again, I knew I had painter's tape but couldn't find it, so new rule, painter's tape will be EVERYWHERE. Basically the Magic Kingdom except for tape, where you're never more than 30 steps from a roll of painter's tape. Live view of me to every drawer in my house...
