I’m finally getting around to watching the Omarion/Mario Verzuz and Mario saying Omarion was lying about a track being his vocals was by far the wildest part imo lmao
Mans said “S/o Lil Steve” 😭😭
Jay-Z just came up on almost $300mil with the Square deal but I hope his credit right because he won’t be able to buy a house or a car without at least a 750 FICO Score.

The pilot was trafficking drugs and guns involuntarily and wanted to go home to his family. This is in no way his fault, children.
@blkesquire
Is it understandable though?
Don’t stay on-campus and it doesn’t apply to you (online courses are readily available). While the emergency use status is different, it shouldn’t make much difference in this case.
LEGAL JOB HACK:
If you’re a young lawyer or law student, a niche in the legal field that will have employers knocking down your door:
DATA PRIVACY AND CYBERSECURITY LAW.
This area is heavily regulated and specialized and it’s hard for older lawyers to learn the space.
I have said this before and will say it again, Black prospective law students PLEASE do not sleep on Howard University law school.
Doing well at Howard opens up A LOT of doors that many other law schools don’t.
60% of credit card users pay their bill in full every month and dont pay any interest.
Basically, they get all the benefits of a credit card (e.g. fraud protection, challenge purchases, etc.) for free 😅
Dude said “saving 50% of what you earn will put you in a better financial position than most people” like people casually earn twice as much as they need lol
Last night in Omaha James Scurlock was murdered by Jake Gardner, a locally known racist, gun toting, transphobic, Trump supporter.
The offense? A broken window.
My heart hurts for James’ family and loved ones.
It really wasn’t until I went to a Federalist Society thing in law school when I realized that there are some places Black folks shouldn’t be, for our own sanity and wellbeing.
My relative (who is a felon btw) was making like $40k.
Bro went to electrician school and was making six figures before he even graduated as an electrician.
Please just get an education yall 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I really hate when the “professional school isn’t worth it” tweets go viral because white students are already less likely to take out student loans because…wealth.
Ultimately, it’s Black students who see these threads and decide it’s not worth it when FOR US it def is.
For anyone who has been to law school you know that you’re more likely to do well if 1) you have lawyer family or friends, and 2) if you don’t have to work.
Guess what Black students situation is? 🌚
Q: should colleges consider socio-economic status, when deciding who to admit?
Kenny Xu: the reason why you shouldn’t consider that is because you should consider the success of an applicant. Because of AA, black Americans graduate in the bottom, 25% of their law school classes
Down 20 pounds and my body feels better than ever, I’m sorry to break it to y’all but most of the pain in my body was fixed by my cleaning up my diet 😭
“I don’t negotiate with myself.”
It’s a Kobe Bryant quote about when you make a promise to yourself, you HAVE to stick it through. When things inevitably get tough I say the quote to myself.
I have a ton of lawyer friends who are intentionally passing up money.
They know they could make double what they’re currently making and just aren’t willing to do what it takes, for good reasons.
I’m very curious about educators 💭 on this. This situation has quickly become an issue of race. My❓is would you approve this freedom of expression from high school students? The young lady is a straight A student w/a full scholarship now pulled.

This is a good question. Jobs making $300k+ are definitely out there and our people not knowing they exist is a major reason why we aren’t in them.
I will say, almost all of them require SPECIFIC college degrees so choose wisely
Got a call from our managing partner this morning...he basically said I’m killing this shit, not to let up, and that he hears I’m really good with clients.
I needed that. I’m coming for more.
PLEASE GO TO LAW SCHOOL and take out loans if you have to.
1) Only 10% of law students would have been better off not going, financially.
2) 70% of law graduates *over time* will experience an ROI of over $250k. 50% will have increases over $500k.
The weirdest part about social media is people not realizing you don’t need to be on it lol
There’s an obvious solution here and it doesn’t involve trying to control what everyone else tweets about …
Y'all have no courtesy or respect when it comes to shows....... it ain't even been 12 hours since the latest episode of
#InsecureHBO
and I already know the premise of it.
Because y'all don't know how to shut the hell up!!
Any high level of success takes two people.
It’s why I understand when spouses like Mackenzie Bezos gets half of the fortune at divorce. She’s worked just as hard for that money as he has and probably even harder.
Can we all agree, interest on student loans from the federal government has to go.
The benefit of college education shouldn’t come at the cost endured by students paying +6% interest on top of the loan.
@DarrenRosenblum
Law professors really have a knack for not making the correct answer an option.
The correct answer here is: text the student your preferred email.
I grew up in the trenches. Ran from gunshots multiple times. People were shot in my front yard as a kid.
You think BigLaw was gonna scare me or that it wouldn't be worth getting my people out of that situation?! I got my people out in 6 months from MY check.
Do any of you regret being a lawyer?
I ask because when people ask me about law school I respond from the perspective of, “I don’t regret it from
the other side.”
Law school is a short part of a LONG career.
Unpopular opinion: The 401(k) is going to be a huge problem here soon.
My parents generation has WAY under saved and had no one was there to tell them differently. In the next 15 years or so we are going to have a LOT of poor, old people.
Please take property taxes into account when you buy a house (especially a brand new house).
A BUNCH of houses in our neighborhood are for sale now after people found out their property taxes 😭
I’ve seen enough.
You can’t ethically bill 2,000 hours annually without routinely working well past 8/9 p.m.
(Obviously, there are exceptions, like if you start super early or work weekends)
The amount of views on the Katt Williams/Shannon Sharpe video is astonishing.
14 million views in just over 24 hours 😳 if Katt Williams is anything, he’s a world class entertainer
Is this a safe space?
I list names in emails by seniority. Not because I was instructed to but because I saw someone say it on here and I am not one to shake the table when my check is on the line 😭😭😭
I graduated in the middle of my class and, just yesterday, lead contract negotiations for a 9-figure deal.
Class rank doesn’t mean a thing lol we nice out here.
The book Die With Zero stresses that using money to buy time back (cleaning, laundry, etc.) is the best use of money because time is finite.
I’m going all in on that idea in 2022.
Will provide updates lol
At first I got roasted for living in Nebraska with an affordable cost-of-living now I’m getting roasted for having kids as a financially stable 26 yr old.
Twitter is the upside down 😭
Pro tip: Firms hire friends.
Don’t sleep on how many people get into firms because they’re connected. (It’s how I got my first job out of law school.)
If you don’t have the traditional credentials and you’re trying to get in…find a friend in the firm you’re shooting for 👀
Here’s your reminder, get that degree in a HIGH PAYING field. It’s the best chance you have to get a bag.
Also, you are not too old. Take out student loans if you have to.
PS a guy with a TON of student loans
Daycare elitism is a thing too.
“My kids go to a Montessori daycare that costs $3,000/mo. and their whole philosophy is to watch the kids from 50 yards away so the kids can develop naturally.”
I can do that from work lol wym?!
Dave & Buster's will begin allowing customers to bet on arcade games
“Customers can soon make a friendly $5 wager on a Hot Shots basketball game, a bet on a Skee-Ball competition or on another arcade game.”
Today is the 36th anniversary of the Philadelphia police bombing Black liberation group MOVE.
Police bombed a Black neighborhood in 1985 killing 11 people including 5 children. 61 houses were destroyed, leaving 250 people homeless.
The city only formally apologized in 2020.
When I was interviewing for my current job they definitely were straight up like “we usually don’t hire people with grades this bad.”
Whatever I said next God was in those words because they were like, “well, that was actually a good answer.”
😭🙏🏾
All jokes aside, I’m very concerned that “pre-cruiting” (hiring summer associates before on campus OCI)/grades/etc) disadvantages 1st generation and minority law students.
I think $150k - $225k has to be the worst salary range.
You make too much to say “F*ck this place, I quit.”
Yet not enough to be financially free without a job for any significant amount of time.
The “six figures isn’t rich” convos are funny because most of the “rich people” we knew or saw growing up were definitely not pulling in 7 figures a year 😂😭
