and my dear #cats, Kentucky and Louisiana! Welcome and nice to meet you!

Hellooooo Mspsocial! Nice to meet you! I'm Josh. I like reading, gaming, and many other things.

Here are the living beings that depend on me, Kentucky cat and Louisiana cat. Kentucky is from Kentucky, has no teeth, and enjoys chasing her toys. Louisiana's origin is unknown, but that was her name at the Minneapolis shelter so it seemed like fate. She enjoys waking me up in the morning to feed her.

I'm Josh and trying to figure out how to be a lawyer.

I have two cats, Kentucky and Louisiana.

I post about the Court, USPol, puzzles, my cats, and whatever media catches my fancy.

TFW you want someone to name names on a theft case so you can go look the defendant up in public records.

Holy smokes, what a way to tell your employees to pound sand after they write to you asking not to do business with companies furnishing the the border concentration camps. https://twitter.com/FizFashizzle/status/1143530739541139457

Meeting with me vs. 4 people, two of them attorneys yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

*Makes additional record, resubmits what he submitted already, wishes he could add a "fuck you" comment*

Me: submits a disclosure that is a provisional patent application per FAQ instructions, as the previous disclosure was rejected as not being sufficiently descriptive.

iEdison: We see you've submitted a provisional patent application. Since you haven't made that record, we're rejecting it.

Me: (Sideshow Bob being hit with rake sound)

I get so much done when I wake up early it's not even funny. I actually worked on job stuff this morning where I seem incapable of doing it in the evening for whatever reason.

No census or gerrymandering cases. They're gonna drop them Friday then peace out on vacay.

LET FLOW THE SCANDALOUS AND IMMORAL (trade)MARKS!

I knew this whole story was going to hinge on a line about pancakes.

Just brace yourself because this week is probably going to suck. The census and partisan gerrymandering cases are set to be released.

In the breakdown of the seemingly religious references, author historically places the first two, i.e. "Nature's God" and "their Creator," as references to natural rather than divine law. Helps that the church at the time apparently derided them. Hehe.

The other refs, "Supreme Judge of the World" and "divine Providence," are more like window dressing to appeal to deists, atheists, and the religious, since each group can confirmation bias all over them at their leisure.

Cats now run to the kitchen to eat when the specific alarm sounds. I play with them each night before bed and then feed them after. They seem generally more predictable and less inclined to wake me up, particularly Lou. She seems much more quiet in the morning. She still begs to be fed early and get treats though.

New cat toy is a winner. Kentucky cat engaged, happy in play. Seemed to also distract Lou cat. Very pleased.

Glad my YouTube algorithm gives me in-depth analysis about shading, shadowing, and lighting in Animal Crossing: New Horizons rather than some racist bullshit.

Other things:

*Key and Peele were my favorite thing about the movie, humor-wise. The end credit gag with them was perfection.

*I have always loved Bo Peep and I was so glad to have her back in her front-and-center role.

*I went to the pet store directly after and spent too much time wondering about toys constructed primarily to be destroyed by animals.

One of the things about TS4 I liked was the narrative about moving on to something different and not being afraid to make that change. That's the heart of the film and I hope that message resonates and stays with kids that see it.

You: Everyone has a narrative arc in Toy Story 4!

Me: Do you consider Forkie looking favorably on one of the four creepy ventriloquist dummies a narrative arc?

Oh great.
