Marion Nestle isn't just AN expert. She is THE expert in food science. You would be hard done by to find a more qualified and well spoken fount of knowledge.

She literally wrote the book on how nutrition is politicized and obfusticated by capital.

Despite the surname and expertise in food, she's unrelated to the Nestle family. Just a bit of fun nominative determinism.

You see, the — the thing about Star Wars is — is that it’s — it's like poetry, you know — it rhymes. Every stanza kind of — kind of rhymes with the last one.

There's — there's no underwear in space. That's — that's the rule. We didn't — we didn't have bras in space. So — so she had to tape them down. It's just — you know — it’s a space thing.

Well — you know — the music, uh — it's not like rock music, or — or electronic stuff. It's — it's very classical. Very old-fashioned. Because — because it's set in space, but — but it’s not futuristic. It’s — it’s more like a — like jazz . That’s what it is — a space jazz. It’s — it’s why the music is what we — well I call it jizz.

Rebuilding the Nazi system of documentation while claiming the legacy of their opponents. Good work everyone. At least egg prices are...

Seems unlikely considering the whole tariff situation

Influencer endorsements can actually be even less effective than traditional ads, despite their outsized budgets.

The industry has also been expressing concerns about the validity of social media ‘vanity’ measures, documenting that engagement for most social media platforms and for collaborations with influencers can be very low (Influencer Marketing, 2020)

You're not missing anything. You got it right. The entire funding model for tech is destined for a financial collapse that will make 2008 look like child's play.

https://www.fsgoriginals.com/books/subprime-attention-crisis

From the unreliability of advertising numbers and the unregulated automation of advertising bidding wars, to the simple fact that online ads mostly fail to work, Hwang demonstrates that while consumers’ attention has never been more prized, the true value of that attention itself—much like subprime mortgages—is wildly misrepresented. And if online advertising goes belly-up, the internet—and its free services—will suddenly be accessible only to those who can afford it.

 
 

While onboarding with Aftermath, I went on a tangent, laying bare all my frustrations with manga-reading apps while pitching a blog. After spewing a word salad for what felt like a century, I was met with horrified expressions from my colleagues. The leading cause for concern wasn’t my pitch (thank god) but my casual comparison of the manga-reading ecosystem to streaming subscription services with the bonus of predatory practices rife in live service games. Reading the latest chapter of your favorite series involves jumping through a series of overcomplicated hoops that include microtransactions and earning points.

The source of my ire are Square Enix’s MangaUp and Kondansha’s K Manga. Like every good drug dealer, K Manga and Manga Up let you read the first couple chapters of a series for free. After that, you have to play ball with their respective ticketed and microtransaction coins to read new manga chapters. Similar to Hoyoverse’s umbrella of gacha games, K Manga and Manga Up gamify reading comic books through log-in bonuses, accruing bonus points for completing assigned chapters, and “paying to win” to give yourself a modicum of freedom from their respective bullshit.
