Hey, I've been a fan for a few months and I'm not going to unsubscribe, but this was not your best stuff. I don't know if it's from LLM usage or ragewriting without calmediting afterward. The big gap between this and your previous work is the large number of adjectives shoehorned in with no ear for prosody, creating odd turns of phrase that look like they should be idioms but aren't:

- laughter chorus

- burgeoning geysering tower of burbled up tribalism

- you Big Law prostates showcase your lights (?)

- fixation of plugging up holes of a devoured ego with soaked wads of cash

I wondered for a moment if you thought this all in Arabic or French and then wrote it in English, but your English is good and I doubt you normally do that.

More importantly, your posts usually have a "point" (usually several!) and this had less than one.

This feels like the lawyer equivalent of these second amendment guys who fantasize about getting home invaded while watching true crime shows.
