No better way to tell you I'm on Bluesky than to announce that I have brought a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk and AmericaPAC for their fraudulent “lottery” giveaway. Speech is free, but lies you have to pay for. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Today, my firm won a $31 million jury verdict against XPO Logistics and its subcontractors for negligently causing the death of 25-year-old Josué Calá. Corporate negligence threatens us all, and in an age of vanishing regulations, holding them accountable in court is vital to our safety.

This is a very good person to support if you're into this kind of stuff. Mike has served as an expert witness for me. He's the best in the biz at explaining the weird underbelly of screwball propaganda and dissociative politics. And he's a fun writer.

We just hatched two baby emerald tree skinks (lamprolepis smaragdina). If you’re interested in buying one and can pick up in Houston, let me know.

If I took a time machine to February 2018 and showed myself this video before I filed those lawsuits, I could watch my own head explode. “That’s right dude, due to bankruptcy law, you’ll still be actively litigating collections ten years from now but InfoWars will basically be Adult Swim 2.0.”

Yesterday, IIHS released this jaw-dropping crash test of a 2026 Blazer vs. a 1996 Blazer. Watch this and understand two things: (1) Older vehicles are insanely dangerous, and (2) product liability lawyers caused that to change. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U8E...

We had a good hearing in the Alex Jones case regarding collections. It's a snail's pace and endlessly frustrating, but we're getting there. Jones' latest attempt to hold off consequences has failed.

I’ve posted a video of the pretrial hearing that resulted in the default judgment against Alex Jones in my Texas lawsuits. I think this is an interesting document of how this case resolved and how discovery works in court. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUSF...

He did the meme.

Tweet stating: "Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams is now officially Albanian." Adams is wearing a hat with an Albanian seal and looks ridiculous.
A meme. First panel, "Me trying to explain to my alien that he's not albanian:" Photo shows a frustrated woman at the end of her patience. Second panel, "My alien:" The alien is wearing a hat with an Albanian seal and looks ridiculous.
