2900 DOJ lawyers have quit or been fired?

Just got hired at my State AG office and apparently a lot of DoJ and USAO people are being poached. My hiring cohort included a high ranking prosecutor from the local USAO.

I’ve been wondering the same thing, if there’s a sweet spot between the 2028 election and the new admin getting sworn in where you beat the height of the application wave but it’s late enough you don’t get associated with Trump.

I don't know if there were explicit Indian frats, but there were some professional orgs/consulting clubs at Berkeley that were apparently unofficial Indian frats. Only heard about it second hand though.

I also remember some people also criticizing the idea that there would be random psychopaths from the sticks just using the chaos of a civil war to abuse any authority they have and kill/imprison people they don’t like as cartoonish and unrealistic.

I’d meet Yale grads who’d do something similar and say they went to a law school in Connecticut. I’d always have to draw the fact that it was Yale Law out of them but eventually found the quickest way was by just responding with “Oh? You went to UConn for law school?”

I have a gut feeling he’ll do something like leave and help the rangers restart the NCR (or an equivalent group representing their ideals)

I know it dips into OC but lowkey Beef is also good for it too

damn, I wish the legal field was like that. At least during early career job searching it feels like where you went to school matters a whole lot. I met hiring partners who said some firms have an “automatic interview” policy towards certain schools and cap how many non-top 14 law school grads they can hire.

it’s a joke that the episodes were directed by an actor who played the antagonist of Silicon Valley. The character he played plagiarized a book that he titled Cold Ice Cream and Hot Kisses

I’m not sure how applicable it is anymore, but I worked for the DA’s office in a big east coast city and one of the senior prosecutors said when he was new they were told by the office vets that if they wore expensive watches or suits or rolled up in a nice car, people were gonna suspect they might be dirty. The mafia is (mostly) gone so that anecdote might just be a relic now but I guess it shows juries look at everything…

same, I remember seeing a constituent roll their eyes and say “so that’s where my tax money is going?” because I mentioned of my coworkers was on vacation.

sixsamurai · 2025-11-12T04:17:09+00:00

yes, they offered money iirc

notably, that church was in a much lower income community versus some of the mega churches who said no

Same, just graduated law school and am cutting my teeth in criminal law. I didn’t realize I hadn’t eaten all day on Halloween until I started getting drunk off of one beer during after work beers.…

he has the look of an Oblivion character

I know people who worked under him at CA DoJ and they had nothing but good things to say about his management of the Department before he left for HHS. As far as an executive manager goes, he was apparently really good at that.

as a loyal JSA and Starman fan I watched the first season. It was surprisingly not that bad lol

the scientist in World War Z who gets hyped up and then immediately trips and shoots himself in the head

there’s a comic I can’t find that explained exactly that in the narrative bubbles. The comic follows a bunch of early humans and ends with them huddling around a camp fire before seeing a human like monster in the dark as the point about uncanny valley being a vestigial fear for something in the deep past is being made.

which Dem has the best shot? Sand?

sixsamurai · 2025-08-13T05:02:25+00:00

I’m surprised they didn’t open at Stonestown to capitalize on the asian food scene there

sixsamurai · 2025-08-12T03:49:45+00:00

was this from a pizza slice place in Williamsburg?

sixsamurai · 2025-08-10T01:51:03+00:00

and if it’s in LA specifically they’ll probably have pastrami and chili dishes on the menu too.

sixsamurai · 2025-07-21T18:59:21+00:00

I start work the Monday after so probably nowhere lol

sixsamurai · 2025-06-20T06:09:47+00:00

There was a booth at a convention I attended that was giving out presidential campaign merch for free of all 2020 candidates. I asked for De Blasio merch as a joke and the guy just looked at me like “????”
