Good Morning, Everyone. You’re All Doing A Terrible Job

If the head of Zoom telling his employees that they have to go back to the office because it’s hard to get anything done over Zoom isn’t the height of irony, I’m pretty sure it’s high enough up there that it can tap the real height of irony on the shoulder and ask it for …

Police Are Hoping To Speak With Karma About The Second Murder

For a lot of reasons, I’m pretty sure I would make a terrible murderer. I don’t think I’ve got it in me to kill anybody, for a start. And even if I did, the relentless regret and anxiety would almost certainly do me in soon thereafter. Or perhaps it wouldn’t even have time, because I …

He Died Doing What He Loved

A sad so long to Florida lawyer Ron Smith, who spent much of his legal career fighting against and ultimately helping to overturn the state’s motorcycle helmet law.
