Instagram keeps feeding me clips from this old show called Suits. I never watched it when it was on the air. This is the show where the despicable Meghan Markle became famous.

The two main characters are Harvey, a normal lawyer, supposed to be a hot shot, and Mike, who is a super genius, never went to law school, but got hired to work as a lawyer anyway.

Some of the video clips seemed similar to what I do in real life. I had Grok summarize the entire nine seasons.

Mike started a legal clinic. I did that too. I stopped progress on it when my business partner became a federal judge. I might do it someday. Mike worked in Wall Street like I did. I have thought of starting a law firm with real lawyers. That is what Mike did in the last season.

I am Mike! Be like Mike, Nike says.

(Update: After sending this, things got surreal. Peter Ticktin, a Trump lawyer and someone I work with, said that he is suing Meghan Markle for defamation. I have talked to Peter about working for him, like Mike (before I knew who this Mike character was). I really think I am living in a Matrix.)
