I was going to make a joke about the Times New Roman/Calibri situation, but then I remembered that I, too, take fonts extremely seriously.

Offenders from different socio-demographic groups receive different sentences. This appears to violate the principle of equality under law.
However, this may be explained by differences in the nature and circumstances of the crimes performed. I.e the different sentences may be 'warranted'.

I was on a crafting kick today, and ended up sewing some sun glasses cases. #procrasticrafting (?)

in my post-academic era i have become extremely scathing of the way academia considers papers to the primary outcome of intellectual work, and refuses to give credit to academics who write software or build other tooling. in industry we very rarely read your papers; but we always use your software
