The Venn diagram between people posting daily to bash Fauci and people convinced a national sales tax is brilliant feels suspiciously close to a circle.

Other than the WA bar exam fiasco, the worst bar exam story I’ve ever heard is the poor soul who threw up on the person sitting next to them during the July exam. Both were rescheduled to take the February exam. One for vomiting. One for sitting in the splash zone. .

My heart goes out to everyone who tried to take the Washington bar exam. You spend years in law school, months preparing, thousands of dollars on courses, and countless hours putting your life on hold for a single exam. No matter how this ultimately gets resolved, these examinees deserved better.

The Trump administration is now referring to frozen embryos as children, and no one is talking about the fact that this makes liquid nitrogen their legal guardian. Somewhere a tank of liquid nitrogen is thinking about the Child Tax Credit.

Nothing ages you like walking into an art show and seeing VHS tapes upcycled into artwork labeled “vintage reclaimed materials.”

There used to be a website called Draw Your Professor where you submitted a professor rating through art. We need to bring that back.

I was interviewed by Reveal for their new podcast: “Inside America’s Race to Hide the World’s Money,” re: how the U.S. quietly became one of the best places in the world to park wealth. If you care about money, power, and the legal structures that protect both, link: revealnews.org/podcast/us-t...

It’s easy, and legal, to avoid paying your taxes by using trusts, but what are the effects?The rich don’t need to go offshore to hide assets—they can do it right here in the US. But if America becomes the world’s tax haven, what are the effects?revealnews.org

South Dakota follows equitable distribution, not a clean 50/50 split. That means a judge divides property based on what they think is fair, not necessarily equal. Interestingly, fault can creep in to divorce proceedings in SD. Courts can consider marital misconduct when dividing 1/2

The top 5 warnings signs that tax content on social media is not credible: 1.     No credentials, just vibes.   If their bio says that they are a tax guru, wealth hacker, 7-figure strategist, or financial architect, but there are no credentials (CPA, EA, attorney). 1/4

Many of the most celebrated men in history have allegedly had affairs. Are we seriously pretending that whether Kristi Noem is sleeping with someone is the scandal that matters? Her career should have ended the moment she bragged about killing a puppy.

Fun inheritance fact In some states, a posthumously conceived child can be biologically yours but legally treated like a stranger for inheritance purposes
