So many social media posts by ex-academics who suddenly discover how exhausting, how capitalistic, how shitty academia was and hence exited. But when you look carefully at their narrative, they somewhere let on that they applied for many jobs but didn't get hired anywhere so they changed careers. Sour grapes etc.

Also, slightly tipsy because of the whisky they gave.

Yes! And it's more disappointing that the European countries, which are supposed to be better at this, rely on a predatory private company for this stuff.

Inspired by all the convo about making your own website, I'm wondering if I should convert my blog into a website.

Oh interesting! I need to watch.

Yes. And forcing unnecessary value add services on people. And the shitty appointment system (such as premium slots).

Very happy about the backlash that the VFS facing. Though I don't have much hopes that anything will change.

Kudos to Harvard University for standing up to the bully! Hope other universities take a similar stance.

Donald Trump shows that political system is not subordinate to capitalism. Leftists need to adjust their theories a little.

There is no need for uniformity in say when a marriage is considered legal (as in after what process/rituals). Uniformity needn't be the goal, justness should be. And personal laws haven't been static; they have continuously been going through change over the decades.

Personal laws can be amended and made more gender-just before we go for UCC. Uniformity doesn't have to be the goal, more just laws should be the goal.
