What does one do after experiencing a complete nervous breakdown? How does one recover from a series of events so traumatic that it’s hard to trust even the closest of friends? When is the right time to return to creating content? Lately I’ve been spending my share of time wrangling with...

Hello there, hope you’re doing well! In the Android world, Jetpack Compose has emerged as a powerful toolkit for building beautiful and dynamic user interfaces. One key component that plays a crucial role in navigation and user experience is the bottom bar. The bottom bar serves as ...

Barcelona’s Poblenou district is an unlikely place to find a dive bar like Henry’s but in just a few months Sen and Carlos have more than found a home for their creation. Now, loyal regulars and delighted first-timers alike stream in for cocktails, cheeseburgers and everything in between...

My esteemed colleagues at Esquire have released the most recent edition of the Best Bars in America. It’s a typically solid collection, filled with the type of hand-cracked-ice joints that have come to proliferate in cities great and small around the country. But there’s o...

It’s not news, lesbian venues have been steadily dwindling over the last few years. Having been battered by the financial crisis and now the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been reported around 60% of queer venues have closed in the past decade in great gay cities like London. Yet...

It’s the moment when Spain feels right. Midday at the bar: when those who prefer a light or late breakfast and the early risers who fancy a tipple before lunch converge. Some sit outside on the terraza with the sun high overhead. Some sit at the counter reading Marca, El Pa&iacute...

Sometimes you want to go…where maybe nobody knows your name (and they also speak French…) and that is just the type of place I found myself this past weekend. Bruno Sport Bar, what a place, what a find. This bar is located in the historically working class neighborhood of Rosemont...

I wasn’t surprised when I read the Page Six article that Madonna had a rare outing with her kids on Mother’s Day at Alice. Alice is a restaurant potentially on the verge of breaking out from beloved neighborhood spot to destination restaurant for the two T’s, TikToker’s and t...

Welcome to my avian paradise. Who knew that a few innocent bird seeds would turn my backyard into the hottest bird bar in town? There I was, sprinkling birdseed around my yard, aiming for Snow White vibes — then, the word got out. And all of a sudden, my tranquil backyard lanai became an avian...

After finally surrendering to my friends, we pulled up to an old, classy 1930s building with stairs from the parking lot and colossal glass doors at the entrance. While parking our car, the thud-thud-thud of dance music could be heard, but no one could see where it was coming from. There was a long ...

You didn’t take the bar exam. That’s probably because you didn’t go to law school. Good for you. Law school is hard. Your first year is an elaborate hazing ritual in which we law professors pull out your brain and put it back in upside down. We make you read hundreds of pages every...

This is a guide on how I passed the United States Patent Bar during the spring of 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic occurred. Think this exam is challenging? Consider first the 7% pass rate of Japan’s semi-equivalent of the Patent Bar to become a licensed benrishi. Like...

The second way is to study at an unaccredited law school. An unaccredited law school is a correspondence, distance-learning, or fixed facility law school operating in California that is not accredited by the Committee. Correspondence and Distance-Learning Law School requires 864 hours o...

Bar exam scores are the lowest they’ve been in 30 years, which is bad news for the law school industry. The most popular reason seems to be blamed on a decline in student applicants leading to law schools accepting lower caliber students. I personally believe that there is a fundamental p...

It’s partly because it is finally (and hopefully forever) over; partly due to the uniqueness of the experience; and partly because it’s triggering. Taking a test should be just taking a test, and it certainly will never be comparable to a doctor’s diagnosis or the passing of a l...

I’m publishing this series of articles to share and discuss my ruminations on coping with a troubled and messy world. You can “follow” me to never miss an article. In mid-December, the Colorado Supreme Court took the unprecedented step of banning Trump from being on the State&rs...

The first time I went to this new place was with my lovely friends. We hadn’t met for so long and it was Marta’s birthday. Well, let’s celebrate! Cátia found Bar Douro and was dying to go there. Ana and I were up for whatever as long as it was tasty. As Cátia’s ...
