Finally got the courage to meander the baby aisle to start research and planning.
A few observations after nearly a decade out of this scene.
1. Lots of way cooler products. Car seats that turn into strollers, wearable pumps etc.
2. Everything is more expensive. $650 for a car seat? $700 strollers? Maybe I was just naive last time. We had a lot of nice hand me downs.
3. No maternity clothes. Anywhere. Not target, Walmart, old navy, nothing. Only online now.
Looks like ten years later my favorite place to shop will once again be Facebook marketplace.

Tomorrow I’ll be seeing quite a few of you at the Gala and you might notice something different about me and politely wonder…. “Baby or Burrito?”
Then you will shake your head and think… “she is about to have a teenager, has a full house and she’s in her 40’s… definitely has to be burrito”
Weight gain is common at this age after all. (Trust me, I googled that and the other symptoms as well).
Yet, as statistically unlikely as it is, and as shocked as we all are…
Not a burrito.
A new little one is indeed joining our home this September. We are shocked but excited.
I’ve had to put aside most projects earlier this year as I tried to survive a brutal case of hypermesis gravidarum that put me in the hospital at one point.
So if you were working with me on something and felt I was flaky or unresponsive… I’m deeply sorry. I did the best I could to keep things going and I’m getting better now.
Excited for what’s ahead!
(Both of us) will see you all tomorrow!

@TKyle @SMB_Attorney This was an ex parte motion in bankruptcy court. I can’t imagine that this is the type of scenario where you need case law to support based on specific facts.
English
POV: You just paid S&C, one of the three most expensive and high-powered law firms in the world, $3000 per hour to submit AI slop to the court on your behalf.
No one is safe.
English
Most of them are templatized. But the caselaw supporting specific conclusions based on the facts of the case are different much of the time. You're always looking for a case with closely analogous facts to support your conclusion. It's usually "I need a case that says XYZ" and good luck.
English
I’m not a litigator, so I have no idea how this works. Serious questions:
> how does S&C not know the case law associated with a routine motion cold?
> how are these motions not templatized?
English
Talking to my brother, @investing_law, we discussed how AI in legal is like that guy at a party that speaks really confidently and everyone is nodding along until you think to yourself, hold on, this is all nonsense.

How are the flat-earthers coping these days? Hope they're ok...

NASA posted an ARTEMIS II crew photograph that I think is one of the best I have seen. This is the continent of Antarctica. The area around the continent is clear. This is the Southern Ocean that circles Antarctica. The cold air and water tend to rob the moisture in the air. No clouds. In the middle left of the photo is the Antarctica Peninsula. To the left of the peninsula is Tierra del Fuego. Continuing up the upper left of the photo is the Atlantic coast of South America. The land mass in the lower right is probably New Zealand.

The threshold for being a Qualified Client (the "forgotten" wealth standard) is going UP.
QC status is sometimes a big bummer for GPs finding out that states have their own investment advisers rules.
If your fund/SPV is limited to Qualified Clients, this affects your investor base!

Another all-American Saturday winding down...I am wiped (in a good way).
Saturdays are my favorite because I get an equal mix of everything I love: work, exercise, quality time with the kids, quality time with my wife. By the end of the day I am spent, but it's spent for others, and that makes me happy.

Bro this is why people pay $1M for teardowns in Franklin.
Sahil Bloom@SahilBloom
I ran 12 miles through the backroads of Franklin, Tennessee early this morning. I think this may be on my list of best places to live. Beautiful scenery. Peaceful, open spaces. Quiet, but near a fun, lively city. Proximity to a major airport. Nice weather but still some seasons.

@rohde88 Lol this child is being set up for problems down the road...

@KHendersonCo @paulswaney3 This is the right answer. Rational basis review if not based on a protected class.
English
"...it is rationally related to the legitimate government purpose of raising capital to fund government programs."
That's it. That's the test. And courts have consistently held that progressive tax structures not otherwise classified by a protected class (race, gender, religion, etc) meet that test.

One fund to build them
One fund to buy them
One fund to roll them up
And into DSTs bind them

@SMB_Attorney I didn't see a private funds partnership agreement prompt. I guess we're safe!

A $200/hour or higher corporate lawyer would’ve told you a decade ago that none of this was worth billing for… then emailed you a template and wished you the best.

🚨 BREAKING: Claude can now write legal contracts like NDAs, freelance agreements, and LLC paperwork better than $800/hour corporate lawyers. Here are 12 prompts that replace $15,000 in legal bills: (Save this before it disappears)

Marc is a stud. Excited to have him join the squad!
Our goal as a firm is to have an exponential relationship between headcount and output capacity. This is a move in that direction.

Biggest tell that someone is using AI-generated language? They copy + paste from AI into a Times New Roman font--and you get a bunch of "tick marks" instead of apostrophes. That, and the hallucinations.

@investing_law Actually, I have my other old work laptop I could run this on...thank you for the suggestion. 😀
English
@TKyle Lol does this mean you want one too?
English
On Friday, my $800 Claude Co-Work laptop arrives.
Here’s my plan:
> Run experiments without giving any access to client data.
> Manipulate our form documents and workflows using invented clients and fund terms.
> Create a separate email address for the Claude computer (each email address will be named after a secret agent, e.g., James Bond, Jason Bourne – this is important).
> Any work product generated by James Bond will be emailed from James Bond to Michael Huseby, such that James Bond never has access to my computer.
Perhaps this is overkill, but two things are true at the same time:
1️⃣ NOT experimenting with Co-Work sounds like an excellent way to get left behind, quickly.
2️⃣ Running cutting-edge AI on your real work laptop presents potential risks I’m not prepared to run…yet. It’s true that Claude lets you select specific folders to give access to, but our industry is high-risk enough that we must be careful.
If/when we become completely comfortable that we can run Co-Work on our primary machines, then we’ll do so.
Until then, we’ll run agents on burner computers with no client data.

@gabe_foran @TheKateBernal @MarshaBlackburn @boringcompany @elonmusk @grok So, the Boring Company should redesign the highways? How does voting against the tunnel, which is funded by private money, fix a public infrastructure problem? It's not like the project diverts public funds that would otherwise be used for infrastructure.
English
@TheKateBernal @MarshaBlackburn @boringcompany @elonmusk @grok This video explains the problem far better that 140 letters. We have a serious highway design problem. You can run as many tourists underground as you like, it’ll change nothing for the people who actually live here and pay for the land being used.

Last night, the Nashville Metro Council voted to oppose the Music City Loop, a private project that would improve infrastructure in Tennessee at no cost to taxpayers.
Woke bureaucrats should not condemn the @boringcompany simply because they don't like @elonmusk.

Can investors withdraw from a fund whenever? Well, no.
And the rules on withdrawals depend on whether the fund is closed or open-ended
Check out our Fundamentals series on Investment Fund Key Terms. This slideshow is based on Part 12, "LP Withdrawals".
