@cremieuxrecueil They just worked harder. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps Sonny boy.

America has decided that it prefers subsidizing the lifestyles of the old and infertile to young people settling into homes and having kids. Our policy increasingly serves the interests of the old and puts them before the young, who actually need a leg-up. Or, in other words:

@RobertFreundLaw Reminiscent of the Zuckerberg private messages…

Write emails/Slacks like a group of random people will be deciding the fate of your business. Jurors were shown Slack messages in which Live Nation employees said "I almost feel bad taking advantage of [customers]" before writing "BAHAHAHAHAHA."

BREAKING: The S&P 500 officially closes above 7,000 for the first time in history, now up +11.2% from its low seen 12 trading days ago.

Prosecutors are citing AI-generated case law that doesn't exist. Meanwhile 60% of federal judges say they're using AI tools. Nobody is checking the robots and the robots are making things up. This is not a tech problem. This is a "who owns the risk when it blows up" problem. And that answer is always, always a human.

@cremieuxrecueil The value of Truth Social is almost entirely dependent on him using it - without him, what's to see there that isn't here on X? Only time I see a Truth Social post is when someone screenshots it and posts it on here (and 99.9% of the time, it's one of his posts...)

It's pretty wild that a little over half of Trump's net worth is now crypto and Truth Social.

@cremieuxrecueil Getting, and staying, married is becoming more of a high-status signifier than ever before.

The decline in the fraction of people who are married is greater for poorer males. The pattern is quite different for women, for whom the richest have moved up to the top slot.

The firms that win over the next 10 years will be built on data, not gut feelings. If you don't know your conversion rate, your cost per case, your average fee — you're flying blind.

The deep satisfaction of reading books is still unmatched

No matter how much negativity there is in this world, may your eyes remain open to man’s greatest achievements and God’s miracles, with love in your heart and no hate in your mind.

Referral networks are still the highest ROI business development activity in law. That was true 50 years ago. It will be true 50 years from now. Relationships don't have a knowledge cutoff date.

Until death, all defeat is psychological

Our firm doesn’t really do billboards. We have exactly one (1). Of course I get pulled over right underneath it today 😂

@Steve____D @zerohedge Hard to use TA on commodities. Feels like reading a horoscope rather than giving actual guidance.

@OliverBCushing @zerohedge If it goes under 76.50 support you could see silver well back into the 60s and maybe even lower .Needs to hold above 80 for a sustained period for the breakout to be conclusive. 50 day moving average is key

Silver just broke above $80 for the first time in a month

Timing matters in legal problems because delay changes everything. Facts get harder to prove, documents disappear, memories fade, deadlines pass, and options narrow. A problem that might have been manageable early can become far more difficult to solve once time starts working against you.

The lawyers who are quietly terrified of AI are the same ones who were terrified of Google reviews, online intake forms, and case management software. Same story. Different chapter.

Investing is easy — you just need to buy and hold. Then wait for your money to double every few years.

@cremieuxrecueil Yeah, right… I’ll get right on that.

HAPPY TAX DAY! Friendly reminder that you're allowed to give the federal government more money than you owe if you really think they're doing a great job and you want to chip in!

What makes someone naturally powerful?

A lawyer's reading culture is what keeps him/her in good books of proper practice.
