A US president threatening a US city with US military force is not humorous, flippant, or harmless. Take it seriously.

Another fantastic @UTLawCLE State & Federal Appeals Conference! Learned new things, refreshed best practices, caught up with colleagues and friends. Thanks to all the speakers, our wonderful conference staff (!), and the @MarriottBonvoy Otis Hotel staff!

At the risk of turning into a travel blog, @SouthwestAir has delayed my flight from DAL to AUS almost an hr so 4 connecting fliers and their checked bags could make this flight. Meanwhile I'll now be late to my 2pm meeting. Still on tarmac waiting for the bags to arrive...

Decided to spend rare vacay time exploring new @CaesarsNOLA - v. disappointing start. After delayed @AmericanAir flight was told on arrival hotel couldn't honor my King rm reservation bc "rooms fill up as it gets late." Huh. Kinda thought that's what a reservation with cc is for?

Vote today! It takes only a few minutes at any @DallasCounty polling location -- be a #CivicHero

I waited till the entire season of @TedLasso dropped to watch Season 3. I LOVED IT. For anyone who doesn't get it, check out Empire Strikes Back or It's a Wonderful Life. Thanks to the writers, cast, & crew. Bravo👏👏👏

Agree 100% with @kennon_wooten that 2022 #TMCP was inspiring and a great reminder of the rich diversity in our profession. And the elementary school service project was a great way to kick things off! lnkd.in/gzrE4JmD

So proud of my Act III colleague for this recognition of her arbitration prowess (and of U.S. News & World Report for having the good sense to recognize her top-notch skills)! lnkd.in/ejdf_226

Just made it back to Dallas from an awesome @texasbarcle Adv Civ App, @texapporg Annual Mtg & @scotxhistsocy Hemphill Dinner for Judge Ada Brown and Judge Starr's investiture. Catching up w/ @600camp on the back row. #balconymuppets lnkd.in/g5xRdigZ

Thanks to the women staffing the Dallas County voting location @RISDAcademy! We shared stories about the school's previous life as #NorthwoodJrHigh (Class of '84!) & I got to cast my ballot. It's been a beautiful day in my neighborhood. Dallas County polls are open till 7pm!

@zachwolfelaw I completely understand and applaud protecting your life partner. But how about doing that by taking the mic and doing a tight 45 secs on alopecia and love?

But seriously, I get the anger & desire to defend his wife. But this bugs me: Will Smith is a significantly bigger guy than Chris Rock. You think he would do that if it was Dwayne Johnson? Lots of “tough guys” are real tough when the person they’re confronting is no threat.
