sophistroll··on The Jobs Crisis at Our Best Law Schools Is Much, Much Worse Than You Think
This article presupposes that large numbers of lawyers should have an easy time finding work.

Seems backwards. Why are we justifying the cruelty that results from a mindset necessary to witness cruelty? Perhaps the workers won't strike; let's ask the animals.

And let's be real, SF, Portland, etc might one day reach 50% humane meat... maybe. What's the plan for telling the "average" American that a dozen eggs cost $12? And some of them are weird colors?

For many, the concept "boycott meat" is even more ridiculous than the concept "animal rights". We have a very long way to go.

sophistroll··on Just Use Sublime Text
Surprising that nobody has mentioned this, but Vim is free and Sublime is not.
