“There are a number of reporters on the food beat who very regularly will use the stock performance of Beyond as a stand-in or the performance of the sector as a whole,” says @jandutkiewicz.bsky.social, assistant professor of political science at @pratt.edu.

This piece does a great job highlighting the many ways we can address the harms of present day beef production -- including, but not limited to, alternative proteins.

From a 2007 article “The Chickens Come Home to Roost,” by David Benatar: “Much human suffering resulting from zoonotic diseases,” Benatar stated bluntly, “could probably have been avoided had humans treated animals better.”

So many fond memories of reading @nymag.com (IN PRINT) on endless subway commutes during my seven years in NYC. Now in LA, it's still my favorite thing to read. But I will not be crossing the digital picket line if there is a strike. These brilliant writers deserve fair wages & healthcare.
it's always up the workers around here, but even if it wasn't, @nymagunion.bsky.social's pro-labor approval matrix would be more than enough to get me to pledge not to cross the digital picket line if @nymag.com forces them to strike for a fair contract. you should too: nymagunion.org/reader-pledge
