Life is too short for tenure. So I stopped professing and started living, practicing law, and writing. Sports, heuristics, family, unordered lists.

Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1:
Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight?
Me: Yes they're done.
Partner: Why are they still dirty?
Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.

This switch-hitting thing is fun (sometimes). Triple from right side then double from left. Plenty of struggles so have to celebrate the highlights. #15uWacoStorm

Swing-path Friday night. Good bookmark for both swings near the end of switch-hitting year one.

By 1:00pm during Texas summers, sane people head indoors. Seems like the time I would OPEN a public library on the weekend, not close it. #crazyaboutreading?

Lincoln Ryan (29 TX) drills this for a deep fly triple. Big LH strength for age & gets into it easy. #SunshineTX @Texas_PG

I'm giving a Supreme Court Update this evening. And because (I've heard from others) the topics can feel distant and highfalutin, I'm opening with some entertaining exchanges during OA. This one may be my favorite.

Texas #appellatetwitter:
TRAP 49 authorizes a rehearing motion and response, but not a reply by the movant. Nor are such replies authorized elsewhere by the TRAPs. But I see them filed without leave or discussion. Has this been discussed? I understand the pragmatic side (1/2)

@600camp reports today on the CTA5's decision to take the recent Watkin's decision (shorturl.at/WFwT9) en banc. Basically, in Watkin's the panel felt bound by orderliness to honor an older decision, Weaver, and find a remand ruling unreviewable under 1447(d). (1/7)

Whether appellate courts can look beyond the DC's characterization is a nuanced issue to which orderliness applies very differently. (Scalia's Powerex opinion is worth the read.) supreme.justia.com/cases/fed… /(6/7)

I cannot convey clearly enough how few people I expect to care about this 7-tweet thread. #thisiswhyIdontgetinvitedtoparties
