This photo is from a 2006 event of the Annual Survey of American Law, where I served as a junior editor. We hosted judge Posner and legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin, where they debated the very nature of ideas. It was incredible.

RIP Judge Posner. A giant. I still think about decisions he wrote.

One of my proudest moments in law school was getting him to laugh at a joke while taking a photo with one of his many admirers.

Thank you to all of our veterans.

A few years ago, I changed our employee handbook at Circulate to make Veterans Day a paid holiday. I thought it was important for a group like ours to affirmatively support those who've served.

Reading this before my trip, I was pretty convinced that the tourists renting kimonos would be a nuisance.

But they are absolutely having the best time here in Kyoto. Lots of smiles and wonder. 🇯🇵🎎🏯

Spent most of my flight reading longform pieces on Japan, saved to my @instapaper account.

Posting a thread with them. 🧵

I had Claude piece together a walking route based on his narrative. Saw all the sights!

[Colin Parent @ColinParent]

Did the walk in Kyoto described here by travel writer Pico Iver. Saw a lot of Kyoto in one afternoon. 🇯🇵🚶👣 https://t.co/VF48cwG3Xz

@ChrisDuncanCA Congratulations Chris!!

[Colin Parent @ColinParent]

@MDMKERO It was great!

[Colin Parent @ColinParent]

Took a "Romancecar" to Hakone, but they sat me by myself. (I feel misled.)

Open Air Museum was spectacular. A robot made me an orange juice. Enjoyed a short walk through a mountain town to my Ryokan, and ate very well.

@torajicom The springs I visit in Big Sur in California have the sulfer smell. It makes it feel authentic.
