#is this just to sell anti aging creams. why is this how it is

[grubloved]

thinking abt bodies bc i usually am and i was thinking abt how weird the cultural disgust/horror of naked old bodies is. whats going on with that its so weird. with the way our lifespans and sex habits shake out more people in history have had more sex with old bodies than any other kind.

[compassionatereminders]

I hate the way social media influences young kids these days. I understand each generation has its own thing that older generations don’t understand/like, but it’s not social media itself that is the problem for me. Like, I get it, the world revolves so much around the internet now and it’s inevitable the generations to come will be effected by it more and more, and in many ways I think it’s good. I learn so much stuff from social media every single day. It’s not even the fact that kids are “changing” - that may not be the case at all - it’s the fact that they put so much of themselves on social media and broadcast it to the world, where so many people, people who may not be safe or kind, dwell and lurk.

Why are 12 year old girls pouting and twerking in front of a camera? Like I said, it’s not that these things are new - children grow up and do stupid things, act older then they are e.g - the concept in and of itself is not new, but social media still kinda is and it’s so sad to see how much more influenced they are to grow up. I have a younger sister who is 13, almost 14, she’s got anti aging creams ?? And hates the way she looks without concealer ?? These are not things she needs to worry about, these are not things even I need to worry about yet, because I’m only 21.

It’s just very sad tbh. Not to be all Boomer-like but I kinda wish I could just stick a bicycle in front of them and tell them to go out and play and just be kids and stop worrying so much about wrinkles, or push-up bra’s. I just wanna drill it into there heads to have a childhood!

I know kids will grow up eventually, especially as they enter their teens, but it just seems to be hitting them younger and younger.

Yeah like at this point we don't even know the full consequences of growing up on social media, but there is definitely a lot to worry about. I'm actually quite happy that I was 15 before I got my first smartphone, and that a big part of my childhood was spent playing with Littlest Pet Shops or The Sims, and not on worrying about presenting myself online while being bombarded with advertisements trying to sell a fake idea of perfection no one will ever reach

[kanyniablue]

watched newsies (1992); thought i might’ve seen it as a kid but i didn’t remember it at all.

it’s bad.  did i like it?  i’m not sure.  i kinda want to watch it again just to figure out if i did or not.

if i’d watched it 100 times as an eight year old it’d probably be a comfort movie for me.  i didn’t dislike it and i can tell that because i actually watched all 2 hours of it plus the ‘blood drips on newsies square’ movie the cast made (i genuinely laughed a few times and there was overwhelming nostalgia for the stupid movies my friends & i made as kids...if ‘stupid kids making a stupid horror movie’ is something you’d find entertaining, watch that).  i did have to pause repeatedly just because the cringe was too strong, but like i said, i started it again and kept watching; i can’t say the same thing about movies i genuinely dislike.

i like the songs.  i love the choreography, even if at times the sudden musical numbers and crowd dances broke even my musical-theater-loving suspension of disbelief.  king of new york was my favorite part of the movie despite the fact it’s one of the most random scenes.

i was going to praise some of the child actors but actually a lot of them were in their late teens-mid 20s so that’s past my cutoff for “you did a good job buddy!  get yourself an ice cream cup.”  (there’s looking young for your age and then there’s being cursed by a witch to be forever trapped in the body of a 6th grader; max casella, blink twice if we need to destroy any amulets or chant some latin before we throw water on the old hag.)  the actual adults playing actual adults are the worst actors by far; if you just took their scenes and compiled them you’d have a so-bad-it’s-hilarious movie.  the love interest girl was clearly shoved in at the last minute to be Love Interest Girl and even she doesn’t seem to want to be there.

the story’s a hot mess but there’s so much going on that it distracts from how much is going on.  the historical accuracy isn’t.  i found it interesting that no one in 1899 Child Labor City asked whether child labor is itself unethical, both because a) there were real anti-child labor movements at the time yet the characters in this story very clearly weren’t against child labor, just pro-child laborers having rights, and b) it’s a disney movie made in 1992, you’d expect some Very Upstanding Citizen character to bring it up just to mention that of course disney knows it’s wrong to profit off child labor!!!ignore those sweatshops, hail mickey and pass the novelty coke cup.  (sudden thought:  if it came out a few years later there’d have been a newsies game on CD-ROM...)

the technical aspects of like...putting a movie together are just all over the place; the sets and costumes clearly had love put in them (santa fe was one of the points i had to stop bc the cringe was overpowering but in terms of background details/’the show in the character’s mind’ it’s wonderful) but the actual shots have terrible continuity throughout the whole movie (especially the crowd shots, but like, that’s at least understandable--what about details like whether someone has already got a pile of newspapers in their hands when there’s a newspaper strike going on and they are supposedly waiting to decide if they’re going to buy any papers or not?) and there’s several points where they just picked the worst angle (”sleeper!” and yet you can’t actually see the guy they’re talking about until the end of the next shot...) or they play the same visual in reverse/repeat the same audio/very clearly dub audio over someone who’s not speaking...

it didn’t need to be 2 hours long.  no further comment on that.

there were missed opportunities i feel for things like...which newspapers aren’t being boycotted?  (the fact the sun is publishing stories about the newspaper strike means that at least the newsboys for the sun aren’t striking, yeah?  so what does that mean for the kids who are going without pay because they usually sell the world; why don’t they switch publishers, is that not actually an option before the sun stops as well?)  are the customers complaining about not getting the papers they want?  are the printers getting paid less because there’s less demand?  what do the other child laborers think about the newsboys’ strike affecting them (obviously everybody shows up for a triumphant climactic crowd scene, but like, you could’ve had them ask some questions in the first place, and also why would pulitzer have any authority over the non-newspaper strikers?)  90% of these questions came from me trying to justify Love Interest Girl’s presence beyond just being Love Interest Girl:  her brothers are out of school selling newspapers to support the family but are now striking and not getting paid; she mentions that she works as well but we never get an opinion on workers’ rights from her; she only shows up to the strike because...Love Interest (technically she helps print the flyer at the end, although mostly it’s just her being in the same room as everyone else).

anyway.  i know this one has a rabid fanbase so i’m not even touching that tag.

Top White Label CBD Products to Kickstart Your CBD Brand

A CBD brand can appear as a rather challenging task for one to start, but utilising white label CBD products ensures that it is much easier. If you are just starting or ready to push your brand to the next level, white label products ensure that you focus on creating your business without the hassle of developing your work of formulating. Additionally, with the thriving CBD market and increased interest in wellness, now is the right time to join the train.

Why White Label CBD Products Are a Great Starting Point

White label CBD products are a fast, easy and inexpensive entry into the CBD industry. You do not have to scrounge up a formula or try to navigate the very often complex waters of CBD production. The supplier will take care of the production for you. Your end? Some branding on it, and off to sell.

White label CBD products: fitting just right for the new CBD entrepreneur.

Saves time and resources: Not requiring an investment in research and development or manufacturing.

Can be easily customized: You get high-quality products that offer you a lot of options to choose from, and then just imprint your logo and packaging.

Fast to market: It will only take you weeks to start selling instead of months.

Best White Label CBD Products to Start With

Having settled the question of why white label CBD is a great choice, let’s look into some of the most popular products you can include in your lineup. These are trending, effective, and in-demand products-all ideally suited to attract new customers and grow your brand.

1. CBD Oils and Tinctures

CBD oils are one of the most versatile products on the market. Whether it is to ease anxiety, improve sleep or general wellness, these CBD oils can be taken daily and help appeal to so many consumers.

Often, CBD oils available to choose from for your brand can range in the following strengths:

Low potency (300mg)

Medium potency (600mg)

High potency (1200mg or higher)

The assurance of a range of strengths ensures that a product will fit the customer’s needs.

2. CBD Gummies

Who does not want to enjoy something delicious that may help with some health issues? CBD gummies are an amazing CBD white label product because they are delectable, portable to be taken on the go, and smooth for dosing. Many customers like gummies as a very good way of discreetly using CBD, so gummies end up as a bestseller for many CBD brands.

Here are some examples of products you may want to carry:

Vegan CBD gummies

Gummies with added vitamins (like vitamin C or D)

Gummies for sleep, featuring melatonin

CBD gummies are perfect for anyone who likes the convenience of taking all the fun and functionality of CBD without having to fumble with a dropper or measure the dosage.

3. CBD-Infused Wines

Truly, one of a kind is the popularity of CBD-infused wines. A perfect blend between the relaxing effects of wine with the calming properties of CBD, of course, is a win-win. It’s perfect for consumers who would want to unwind after a long day without having the intake of the intensity that THC or greater substances may provide.

Adding CBD infused wine can add a great unique selling point to your product line, allowing the brand to draw in more customers searching for new and interesting items. Cross-promotional opportunities also exist when your brand partners with restaurants, bars, or wellness retreats to sell these items.

4. CBD Skin Care Products

CBD is being taken over by the beauty industry, and so should you! The CBD private label skincare products will enable you to differentiate your business from others. Be it anti-aging creams or moisturizing serums, CBD-infused skincare items are in high demand. People generally prefer CBD for its anti-inflammatory properties and soothing effects on the skin.

CBD Skincare Products You Could Offer

CBD face serums

CBD lotions and body butters

CBD lip balms

CBD-infused bath bombs

since apparently i’m the dril nasa tweet but with fad internet diets today, how about we move on to ray peat and raw egg nationalism? i feel like those two are very Right Now, Of This Moment.

ray peat seems to have been toiling since the 60s. his early supporters seemed to be people who were very into holistic medicine, but not as new age fruitarians tend to be. i think he got popular mainly because the dissident right was penetrating the mainstream at around the same time – bap mentions him in bronze age mindset. i really regret not digging more into the archives of dr internet sources to see what the history of this is. he’s been kind of reappropriated by so many hippie trends that used to be associated with left wingers.

what’s interesting with him too is that while a lot of the things i’ve been talking about in this series of posts are codified diets (proana need not apply obviously), peatism isn’t. on the forums, people create meal plans, but there’s no clear “what to eat, what not to eat”. it’s closer to a worldview, almost. which i guess is why he doesn’t like it when people call it the ray peat diet. he was just promoting eating for hormonal, metabolic thyroid health, not necessarily weight loss – more concerned with having energy, so it’s not anti-sugar. some of the meme peatist food items are orange juice, ice cream, that carrot salad that’s all over tiktok. he’s also really against seed oils and polysaturated fatty acids and pufas, whatever those are. there’s the thing about cooking with coconut oil or ghee instead of vegetable oil, but there’s no set in stone diet because of how against scientific determinism he was.

as for raw egg nationalism, drinking raw eggs has been a thing in the fitness community for a while, but raw egg nationalist took this and made it a persona. this article has a pretty good summary of the ethos:

The premise is simple really, we are nationalists of a variety that emphasize the health and vitality of the nation-state and all who live in it. The corrupted toxic food supply is an outgrowth of the large-scale low-quality mindset of globalism that has no concern other than the bottom line. No loyalty to the health and vitality of the country or anyone in it. 

correct me if i’m wrong, but it feels more like a political movement? it’s not actually suggesting that you only slonk eggs, that’s more symbolic? slonking eggs has been demonized, salmonella has been overstated, cholesterol has been overstated, reclaim the egg.

a lot of people think raw egg nationalist is a grifter. i don’t think he is – if you’re a writer, it’s sort of a necessity to be selling something. and he’s consistent. i listened to an interview with him, and he seems genuine. it does seem like a weird rebellion, though. like it’s a “fuck you” on top of a health thing.

The egg is symbolically balanced between the Apollonian solar (yolk) and the Artemisian lunar (white). The masculine virilizing nutrients are found almost entirely in the yolk. Those who are in the cult of Apollo will recognize this importance. The symbolism of the raw is a middle finger to the establishment which has long propagandized that raw eggs are dangerous. That a spoonful of raw cookie dough will almost certainly result in a painful death-by-Salmonella. 

sure, dude

Barbor Cosmetics, what makes it so valuable?

Many cosmetics companies on the market claim that their products would do miracles for people who use them. Despite the fact that there is a gigantic number of stores that sell cosmetics, there aren't many that can promise clients high-performance, luxury skincare products. Babor skincare is one of these companies that are internationally known with a profound base of audience and loyal customers. We will speak about them in this blog.  Babor promises to provide certified effects and it aims on providing genuine, premium skincare products/ solutions for people with skin problems.

By combining scientific technology with natural components to create skincare products that can boost confidence, Babor surely markets itself in the right direction. There is a reason why Babor Cosmetics has thousands of satisfied users on social media. But why? Let's find out.

The Birth of Babor Cosmetics

In 1956, Dr. Michael Babor established the company in Germany that is now known as Babor. He created the company's first product which was the oil-based cleanser which was followed by a wide range of beauty & cosmetics products.

Environment-friendly & Social Responsibility

Since its foundation, the company pays huge attention and development in the field of ethical production and sourcing of products and sustainable manufacturing as the environment ranks high on the company's list of priorities. Moreover, Babor Cosmetics plants a tree near the company's HQ in the forest for each clean product purchased. Babor Cosmetics takes into consideration the rapid movement of today's markets and its effects on people. It produces high-quality and effective cosmetics/ beauty products that eventually aim to help its customers who suffer from skin problems to regain self-confidence. According to Michael Schummert the former CEO of Babor Cosmetics: "Today beauty products either have to be green and sustainable products or performance products with instantly visible effects. I am convinced that in the near future they have to be both at the same time. We have just extended the baborganic line with an effective anti-ageing cream a few months ago. Anti-ageing and natural skincare have been on opposite sides of skincare ranges for the longest time. Now they are becoming natural allies". The company has its eyes on becoming the number one in producing the ultimate eco-friendly beauty products.

Barbor Cosmetics "Internationally known"

The international company hasn't gained its position in the market by coincidence. Babor has a rich variation of products that suits almost all skin types and all purposes with detailed information about ingredients, effects and how-to guidance. The company produces products in multiple production lines and each of which is aimed at a destined area such as the winter skincare set or the dry-skin care set. In addition, Babor appeared in numerous publications and magazines like Forbes, Glossy and more. Even online, there are hundreds of blogs that write about their products and offerings.

Babor Beauty and skin products

As an international brand, Babor identifies the core of beauty as a personal and relative experience that varies between customers. Every one of them needs different skincare and beauty products that reflect his/her beauty with respect to skin colour, preferences, appearance and more.

As a result, many skincare products from Babor Cosmetics fit into the best-selling category. Babor skincare products will therefore help you feel better about yourself and enhance your confidence while elevating your skin to feel the beauty and see it day-to-day.

Babor mainly produces cleansers, creams and serums and each line has its own benefits for the skin based on its type or purpose of usage. The company states a lot of benefits for each product but all skincare and beauty products mostly share the benefits of moisturization, anti-ageing effects, blemish clarification, environmental stressors, and skin redness reduction

Prices of Babor Cosmetics

As for the prices of products of Babor Cosmetics, the company surely sells its products at relatively high prices. However, the market of high-quality cosmetics specifically operates with high prices as the production processes and research & development, marketing, clinical testing and being certified skincare products manufacturer require huge investments. But, Babor cosmetics offers the majority of its beauty and skincare products within the range of 35$ to70$. Despite the casual sales and discounts, the company operates in a highly competitive market but also has a huge base of loyal customers that seek its offerings and promises. That is reflected in the customer reviews on their products whether directly on Babor Cosmetics website or retailers. All in all, Babor Cosmetics is one of the most successful beauty and skincare companies worldwide with over 60 years of experience in this field. High-quality, sustainable and trendy beauty products are its area of expertise. More about Babor Cosmetics, follow the link here

A table of D&D town/village/hamlet quirks:

1-8: The town is slowly rising up out of the earth; right now, the village ground hovers a few feet above the crater it left behind.

9-12: The town’s punishment for all crimes, big and small, is the Silent Treatment.

13-17: The town hosts a “farmer’s market” where black market goods are exchanged, and all the members of the town council turn a blind eye.

18-20: The town is under a perpetual bubble of silence, and the population communicates in a dialect of Sign Language.

21-24: The town was involved in a deal with a devil many centuries ago, which has resulted in the last 2 generations of children being born as tieflings.

25-27: The town’s biggest industry is a dragon “conservation rangeland;” most of their “dragons” are just big normal lizards.

28-31: The local inn is a singles’ resort; local tourism reflects the matchmaking atmosphere, and they are enthusiastic with single adventurers.

32-38: The town was cursed to be perpetually blanketed by snow, but that was millennia ago; thanks to climate change, it has become a tropical paradise.

39-41: The town started off as a queer commune for exploring sexuality, but has since become just super gay. These days it has a yearly festival send-off for all the young adults who come out as straight.

42-43: The town is led by a newt. Not even a magic newt, just a newt. Someone is appointed to interpret the will of the newt. Newt election years are extremely divisive.

44-50: The town has an intense rivalry with a neighboring village, caused by duelling claims to being the birthplace of a goddess of trickery. The prank war has been going on for 300 years.

51-54: The town is home to a reclusive clown monastery.

55-57: The town is built over a portal to the Nine Hells, and is trying to build a reputation for its hot springs and bathhouses.

68-72: The town’s only nice restaurant is run by a mage who enchants the food to taste good but is a terrible host.

73-74: The town is completely deserted. There are no signs of where everyone went or why. Repeat visitors notice that it seems like people do live here--just not when strangers come to town.

75-78: The town has regular 5am marching band practice--in the town square. The general store sells noise-cancelling headphones and earplugs at a premium.

79-83: The mayor has an ongoing vendetta against the local healer because they seem a little too “new age-y,” and won’t allow anyone to go there or give directions to strangers on how to find her.

84-86: The town guard is made up of psionic warriors who have never actually thrown a punch or held a weapon in their lives.

87-90: Everyone in town works for a local factory, lives in company housing, and gets paid in scrip. Absolutely no one questions the ethics or legality of this.

91-93: The townsfolk are constantly bickering and airing each others’ dirty laundry and gossiping to newcomers.

94-98: The town has been overrun by a multi-level-marketing scam selling an anti-fungal cream.

99-100: The population of the town has grown so quickly that the only solution has been to dig underground catacombs to make room for new residents and businesses, but they’re trapped in a legal battle with someone who was living there first.

I want to be old, and I explain why

There are a lot of stereotypes about old people. Many of us think they are incompetent and unable to enjoy life, depressed and miserable. But is it true? I did a bit of research and realised that these people are one of the happiest and most fulfilled groups of the world population. It turned out that these people live a calm and joyful life. But why in our world is everyone so terrified of the prospect of becoming older? In my opinion, there are stereotypes which prevent us from seeing aging as it is — a natural process which no one of us can avoid. 

Modern beauty industries sell us the idea that only youth is beautiful and only young people deserve love and care. On TV and on the Internet we see attractive models with thin waists, skinny belly and smooth skin. There is almost no representation of old people in the mass media, did you notice? There is only energy, health, and liveliness on the faces of teenagers and young adults. It seems like beauty industries associate these concepts only with youth. 

Anti-age. Doesn’t this word sound weird to you? What do surgery clinics and cosmetics companies mean by this word, actually? Does they try to convince us that the laws of nature are wrong and we should turn time back? I think it is ridiculous. It’s like when I am 29, I suddenly wish to be a 12-year-old girl again. Why should I want it? Why anyone should want something like this?

But I can explain how it works. Beauty companies instill women with fear that nobody will love them if they become old. They told us that smooth skin is beautiful, whereas wrinkles and gray hair are ugly. I just wonder, does anybody really believe in that? Because seriously, these companies just make money this way. I searched how much surgery clinics earned on liposuction, botox and facelifting and goddamn, these numbers exploded my mind. Companies make money on women’s fears, and women obediently go under the surgeon’s knife or waste money on expensive and useless creams. Is it actually legal? 

After all these horrific facts I found old people’s opinions, where they explain their perception of life. It turned out for me that actually the older we get, the happier we are. Aging has some unique benefits which are unavailable to you when you are young. For example, when you become old you really don’t care anymore what people think about you. You can say what you really think, wear weird clothes or sniff cocaine. It's up to you and your imagination. No one will condemn you as much as if you were young. 

Besides, you can relax more. Nobody expects you to join the gym, become a parent or build a career. Why? Because probably you already do some of these things and if you didn’t, who cares now? You are too old to start this kind of serious project. No one can tell you what you should or shouldn’t do, because it’s just not appropriate to tell things like this to old people.

Also, with age time became shorter, so you begin to comprehend life as it is. Stupid problems and unimportant concerns doesn’t worry you anymore. Sunsets, conversations with friends, walks in the nature: all these things become more precious to you. You simply start to appreciate everything around you more and understand that life is a treasure. 

Also, since with age you get more skills and understanding of life, you become wiser and calmer. Probably, you have more financial security and free time for hobbies and interests than you had when you were young.  Thus, you become more happy and can live as you like. 

 I think we should give more attention to aging and get rid of our prejudices about old people. Firstly, the despair of aging is simply a lie, and secondly, it’s not fair in relation to old people. Old age might be happier than we actually think, and I am waiting with curiosity for the days when I become an elder. 

[jewish-privilege]

It’s my first year of university. I’m sitting in my first lecture for the semester, watching my professor sell a career in Journalism with a slideshow. Suddenly, piles of dead Jews flash onto the screen. I see my own eyes reflected in theirs. My family’s faces replace their indistinguishable ones, which have molded into one unanimous cry of pain. I suddenly find myself in my grandma’s living room, sitting on her cream carpet, which is discolored and damp from decades of tears. She was crying again. She was crying for her family. She was crying for the six million dead. My cheeks are stained with her tears — they’re the only thing I have left of her.

We need trigger warnings for the Holocaust.

I’d understand a lack of trigger warning if my professor had never used them before — and if my course specifically dealt with the Holocaust. However, I major in journalism, and in the same lecture, my professor had used trigger warnings for war and suicide. It seemed that my professor, like many in the non-Jewish world, was apathetic to the suffering of Jews. She didn’t understand why I would need a trigger warning for a genocide that I didn’t experience and that happened over seventy years ago. She was unaware of the effects of intergenerational trauma. She was unaware that the Holocaust, for some of us, is never-ending.

So I told her.

I told my professor how the memory of my grandma’s tears are seared into my brain and how I drown in them every night. How her frail frame wracked with a hurricane of sobs at any and every mention of the Shoah. I told her the pain my grandma experienced shedding her Jewish surname in 1940 — just as her family had changed their name when escaping anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe a generation before.

I told her about my father, whose drawers are bursting full of old birthday cards, newspapers, and bills, each of which, he treats with the carefulness one does with water in a drought. How for him, throwing away a possession is a betrayal to those who came to Britain before him with nothing but their Judaism. I told her about the boxes of Judaica from family long gone which he still can’t bear to look at. How he flinches at being called a Jew, and how he leaves the room when the Holocaust is mentioned.

I told my professor about my room. How it has nothing but a mattress on the floor and a clothes rack because I don’t know when I’ll have to run — because I’ve run before. I told her about my dreams. How, after reading the Diary of Anne Frank in sixth grade, I was trapped with her in the annex every night for weeks.

I told her how an 87-year-old Holocaust survivor became a grandmother figure to me after I escaped child abuse. Every Friday evening, as I walked her home from synagogue, she told me the horrors of her childhood — and every Friday night I would join her horrors in my dreams. I told my professor that I can’t remember what I had for dinner last night. But I can remember that Treblinka was burning 12,000 bodies at a time, with only 50 survivors out of 897,000. A kill rate of 99.9%.

I told her about how I was assaulted last year on my walk home and how I laid motionless. Just as my ancestors had laid motionless. A generational relationship with the dirt beneath our feet. I told her that I was beaten for the same thing my grandfather was beaten for, and the same thing his grandfather was beaten for, and the same thing his grandfather was beaten for — the crime of being a Jew. After that assault, I knew any post-Holocaust ‘glow’ was over, and I had to run.

One consequence of universalizing the Holocaust over the past seventy years is that the non-Jewish world has become desensitized towards the greatest disaster in modern Jewish history. As the living memory of the Holocaust fades and as the post-Holocaust guilt age comes to a close, apathy towards the Holocaust increases. Anti-Semitism becomes normalized.

My lecturer used a trigger warning the next time she spoke about the Holocaust. Others should, too.

Zuck calls Apple a monopolist

The copyright scholar James Boyle has a transformative way to think about political change. He tells a story about how the word "ecology" welded together a bunch of disparate issues into a movement.

Prior to "ecology," there were people who cared about owls, or air pollution, or acid rain, or whales, and while none of these people thought the others were misguided, they also didn't see them as being as part of the same cause.

Whales aren't anything like owls and acid rain isn't anything like ozone depletion. But the rise of the term "ecology," turned issues into a movement. Instead of being 1,000 causes, it was a single movement with 1,000 on-ramps.

Movements can strike at the root, look to the underlying  economic and philosophical problems that underpin all the different causes that brought the movement's adherents together. Movements get shit done.

Which brings me to monopolies. This week, Mark Zuckerberg, one of the world's most egregious, flagrant, wicked monopolists, made a bunch of public denunciations of Apple for...monopolistic conduct.

Or, at least, he tried to. Apple stopped him. Because they actually do have a monopoly (and a monoposony) (in legal-economic parlance, these terms don't refer to a single buyer or seller, they refer to a firm with "market power" - the power to dictate pricing).

Facebook is launching a ticket-sales app and the Ios version was rejected because it included a notice to users that included in their price was a 30% vig that Apple was creaming off of Facebook's take.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/28/21405140/apple-rejects-facebook-update-30-percent-cut

Apple blocked the app because this was "irrelevant" information, and their Terms of Service bans "showing irrelevant" information.

This so enraged Zuck that he gave a companywide address - of the sort that routinely leaks - calling Apple a monopolist (they are), accused them of extracting monopoly rents (they do), and of blocking "innovation" and "competition" (also true).

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/pranavdixit/zuckerberg-apple-monopoly

Now, there are a bunch of Apple customers who consider themselves members of an oppressed religious minority who'll probably stop here (perhaps after an angry reply), and that's OK. You do you. But I have more to say.

Apple is a monopolist, sure, but more importantly, they are monoposonists - these are firms with "excessive buying power," gatekeepers who control access to purchasers. Monoposony power is MUCH easier to accumulate than monopoly power.

In the econ literature, we see how control over as little as 10% of the market can cement a firm's position, giving it pricing power over suppliers. Monopsony is the source of "chickenization," named for the practices of America's chicken-processing giants.

Chickenized poultry farmers have to buy all their chicks from Big Chicken; the packers tell them what to feed their birds, which vets to use, and spec out their chicken coops. They set the timing on the lights in the coops, and dictate feeding schedules.

The chickens can only be sold to the packer that does all this control-freaky specifying, and the farmer doesn't find out how much they'll get paid until the day they sell their birds.

Big Chicken has data on all the farmers they've entrapped and they tune the payments so that the farmers can just barely scratch out a living, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and dependent on the packer for next year's debt payments.

Farmers who complain in public are cut off and blackballed - like the farmer who lost his contract and switched to maintaining chicken coops, until the packer he'd angered informed all their farmers that if they hired him, they would also get cancelled.

Monopsony chickenizes whose groups of workers, even whole industries. Amazon has chickenized publishers. Uber has chickenized drivers. Facebook and Google have chickenized advertisers. Apple has chickenized app creators.

Apple is a monopsony. So is Facebook.

Market concentration is like the Age of Colonization: at first, the Great Powers could steer clear of one another's claims. If your rival conquered a land you had your eye on, you could pillage the one next door.

Why squander your energies fighting each other when you could focus on extracting wealth from immiserated people no one else had yet ground underfoot?

But eventually, you run out of new lands to conquer, and your growth imperative turns into direct competition.

We called that "World War One." During WWI, there were plenty of people who rooted for their countries and cast the fighting as a just war of good vs evil. But there was also a sizable anti-war movement.

This movement saw the fight as a proxy war between aristocrats, feuding cousins who were so rich that they didn't fight over who got grandma's china hutch - they fought over who got China itself.

The elites who started the Great War had to walk a fine line. If they told their side that Kaiser Bill is only in the fight to enrich undeserving German aristos, they risked their audience making the leap to asking whether their aristos were any more deserving.

GAFAM had divided up cyberspace like the Pope dividing the New World: ads were Goog, social is FB, phones are Apple, enterprise is Msft, ecommerce belongs to Amazon. There was blurriness at the edges, but they mostly steered clear of one another's turf.

But once they'd chickenized all the suppliers and corralled all the customers, they started to challenge one another's territorial claims, and to demand that we all take a side, to fight for Google's right to challege FB's social dominance, or to side with FB over Apple.

And they run a risk when they ask us to take a side, the risk that we'll start to ask ourselves whether ANY of these (tax-dodging, DRM-locking, privacy invading, dictator-abetting, workforce abusing) companies deserve our loyalty.

And that risk is heightened because the energy to reject monopolies (and monoposonies) needn't start with tech - the contagion may incubate in an entirely different sector and make the leap to tech.

Like, maybe you're a wrestling fan, devastated to see your heroes begging on Gofundme to pay their medical bills and die with dignity in their 50s from their work injuries, now there's only one major league whose owner has chickenized his workers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8UQ4O7UiDs&list=FLM6hLIAIO-KfsNFn8ENnftw&index=767

Maybe you wear glasses and just realized that a single Italian company, Luxottica, owns every major brand, retailer, lab and insurer and has jacked up prices 1,000%.

https://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-glasses-lenscrafters-luxottica-monopoly-20190305-story.html

Or maybe the market concentration you care about it in healthcare, cable, finance, pharma, ed-tech, publishing, film, music, news, oil, mining, aviation, hotels, automotive, rail, ag-tech, biotech, lumber, telcoms, or a hundred other sectors.

That is, maybe you just figured out that the people who care about owls are on the same side as the people who care about the ozone layer. All our markets have become hourglass shaped, with monop(olists/sonists) sitting at the pinch-point, collecting rents from both sides, and they've run out of peons to shake down, so they're turning on each other.

They won't go gently. Every Big Tech company is convinced that they have the right to be the pinchpoint in the hour-glass, and is absolutely, 100% certain that they don't want to be trapped in the bulbs on either side of the pinch.

They know how miserable life is for people in the bulbs, because they are the beneficiaries of other peoples' misery. Misery is for other people.

But they're in a trap. Monopolies and monopsonies are obviously unjust, and the more they point out the injustices they are EXPERIENCING, the greater the likelihood that we'll start paying attention to the injusticies they are INFLICTING.

Much of the energy to break up Big Tech is undoubtedly coming from the cable and phone industry. This is a darkly hilarious fact that many tech lobbyists have pointed out, squawking in affront: "How can you side with COMCAST and AT&T to fight MONOPOLIES?!"

They have a point. Telcoms is indescribably, horrifically dirty and terrible and every major company in the sector should be shattered, their execs pilloried and their logomarks cast into a pit for 1,000 years.

Their names should be curses upon our lips: "Dude, what are you, some kind of TIME WARNER?"

But this just shows how lazy and stupid and arrogant monopolies are. Telcoms think that if they give us an appetite for trustbusting Big Tech, that breaking up GAFAM will satiate us.

They could not be more wrong. There is no difference in the moral case for trustbusting Big Tech and busting up Big Telco. If Big Tech goes first, it'll be the amuse-bouche. There's a 37-course Vegas buffet of trustbustable industries we'll fill our plates with afterward.

Likewise, if you needed proof that Zuck is no supergenius - that he is merely a mediocre sociopath who has waxed powerful because he was given a license to cheat by regulators who looked the other way while he violated antitrust law - just look at his Apple complaints.

Everything he says about Apple is 100% true.

Everything he says about Apple is also 100% true OF FACEBOOK.

Can Zuck really not understand this? If not, there are plenty of people in the bulbs to either side of his pinch who'd be glad to explain it to him.

The monopolized world is all around us. That's the bad news.

The good news is that means that everyone who lives in the bulbs - everyone except the tiny minority who operate the pinch - is on the same side.

There are 1,000 reasons to hate monopolies, which means that there are 1,000 on-ramps to a movement aimed at destroying them. A movement for pluralism, fairness and solidarity, rather than extraction and oligarchy.

And just like you can express your support for "ecology" by campaigning for the ozone layer while your comrade campaigns for owls, you can fight oligarchy by fighting against Apple, or Facebook, or Google, or Comcast, or Purdue Poultry...or Purdue Pharma.

You are on the same side as the wrestling fan who just gofundemed a beloved wrestler, and the optician who's been chickenized by Luxottica, and the Uber driver whose just had their wages cut by an app.

Hi guys, 

Have you ever had a product you have always wanted to try but were never sure how it would turn out? Well for me it’s the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50. I have seen so many bloggers rave about this product for years and I have wanted to try it for so long but I could never find a store that sells it to colour match mysefls so I just forgot about it.

While browisng online I found out the CC Cream came in a travel size version for £14.00 instead of the full size £32.00 so I decided to look into it. In the travel size they didn’t have as many shades of in the smaller size so given that “Fair” was the lightest shade avaible I figured I couldn’t go too wrong with that colour. Cut to a few days later and I had the mini  CC Cream in my hand and first off the mini size is adorable and the shade fair matched me perfectly but it is a little more warm toned compared to my other fair shades but I love the colour and it gives my face a little more life.

So let’s chat about what the deal is with the CC Cream and why it is so popular. Unlike other cream foundations this one has SPF50, colour corrects your face and is as full coverage as a foundation which is insane in itself. CC+ Cream with SPF 50 is the #1 CC+ Cream in the US*! IT's your colour correcting cream that works beautifully as your full-coverage foundation, it's hydrating, anti-ageing, and with SPF 50. The CC Cream hydrates the skin while colour correcting your skin to take anyway any redness, discolouration and even our your complexion. While this CC Cream offers the full coverage of a foundation it still leaves you with a natural glowy finish which I surprisingly love a lot. This product includes a lot of ingredients that treat your skin while you’re wearing it such as:

Collagen: Skin-firming protein that supports elasticity for a youthfully smooth appearance

Peptides: Help reduce the appearance of wrinkles for the look of smoother, firmer skin

Niacin: B vitamin that improves skin barrier function and elasticity, promotes a more even skin tone and helps combat the appearance of acne and hyperpigmentation

Antioxidants: Help reduce the appearance of the visible signs of skin damage and ageing

After seeing so much hype about the product I always really wanted to try I was so excited after reading all this information and honestly it lives up to the hype. The coverage is honestly amazing and really blew my mind to what I was expecting to see especially from a CC Cream formula as they tend to be more sheer. The week I tried testing out this product my skin felt so much smoother and softer wearing and removing the product, it was obvious how much it was treating my skin. It was a instant love for me and I adore it. It definetly  converted me but also made me aware what a game changer a good CC Cream can be. I’m really excited to get the full size version when my mini version runs out but honestly because a little goes a long way it could be a while.

Lots of love

The Spin on Silk...

Actress Jane Birkin’s mother may have been onto something when she told her daughter, “When you’ve got nothing left, all you can do is get into silk underwear and start reading Proust.”

Silk popped up on my radar a few years ago when I was researching pajamas to wear in hospital. Within a few articles, I was sold.

Here’s the lowdown:

1.) Silk Slows Down Ageing

Silk has this natural, cloud-like quality that makes you feel fresh and clean. Silk amino acids, a natural nutrient found in the fabric, have been found to reduce specific signs of ageing, such as fine lines, wrinkles and dehydration.

Because silk is a natural material, it is easier for this fabric to produce and retain moisture on its own. It performs miracles on the skin when left in contact overnight. With this, silk is now recognized as a natural anti-ageing product in the form of towels, beddings, pillowcases, sleepwear and now face masks. Dermatologists attest to silk’s ability to slow down visible signs of ageing and revitalize the human skin even after a short night’s rest.

While cotton and polyester material withdraw moisture from the skin through a night’s sleep, silk can replenish and maintain this very moisture necessary for keeping a youthful, vibrant skin. Because it is a natural material packed with essential amino acids and natural protein, silk tricks the nervous system into relaxing; therefore smoothening out the wrinkles we develop through age.

With albumen, a naturally-occurring chemical in silk, the skin’s metabolism speeds up, allowing dead skin cells to develop and repair at a much faster rate. Over time, the long-term use of silk will drastically improve the skin’s appearance, significantly slowing down the effects of ageing. Think of it as an invisible night cream applied to your face every single night.

2) Silk Clothing Helps with Eczema and Asthma

In most cases of atopic dermatitis, lifestyle changes have needed to be implemented to accommodate the necessities of sensitive skin. While various creams and other topical treatments may be used to treat mild to severe cases of eczema, what eczema sufferers are exposed to day and at night can still affect the entire treatment process. Because of its natural protein structure, silk is known for its hypoallergenic properties, making it compatible with all skin types. Its dense fabric structure prevents dust and mites from accumulating, which in turn protects the wearer from day-to-day allergens. While some individuals might be allergic to other natural materials (like goose and duck feathers), silk has shown to be more compatible with even the worst cases of skin allergy because of its 100% organic origin. Another of its great feature: silk prevents the build-up of soil, dirt, and other microscopic foreign bodies that may trigger an allergy, especially in people with eczema. Thanks to these healing properties, silk is an excellent alternative to usual cotton active and nightwear. Aside from eczema, silk’s hypoallergenic quality can help treat people with asthma. Among the triggers of asthma are bed bugs and droppings that can affect your quality of sleep – but these microscopic items would not stand a chance against silk’s compact and densely woven structure.

3.) Natural Anti-Fungal Element

Silk is a popular choice for nightwear, and a recent study shows that there is more reason to opt for silk during downtime. Not only does it make you feel nice and smooth while you sleep, but it can also stave off recurring infections. In a study conducted by the University of Bologna, men and women who were experiencing recurrent thrush were asked to swap their usual cotton-made underwear for treated silk ones, while the other half of the group continued to wear cotton underwear. After six months, researchers found that the group that was wearing silk had been cured of the infection. The recurrence was halved and the symptoms were significantly reduced. Candida Albicans – the yeast causing the common fungal infection – thrives in warm and damp environments. While cotton does nothing to help this, the moisture-absorption capability of silk eliminates the environment for the yeast to thrive.

4.) Silk Can Improve Sleep

If you have ever experienced the luxury of sleeping in silk, you would be familiar with how quickly you can fall asleep while being enveloped in this material. There’s a reason why this fabric is becoming increasingly popular with bedding manufacturers; this has something to do with sleeping. The reason is simple: it makes you comfortable. Silk, a natural material blessed with sheen and softness, can also regulate body temperature and control moisture even in vast, changing climates. This makes silk an excellent sleep companion that will surely enhance the quality of your night-time slumbers. The softness of the material coaxes your nervous system into relaxing, allowing you to achieve the full cycle of sleep necessary. In ancient China, silk has been the go-to material for curing chronic pains. In fact, silk is still the standard fabric used for elderly homes and physical development centers. Silk's comfortability can easily remedy anything from muscle aches to joint pains. It imposes negligible pressure on the human body and follows the natural contours and movement of its user, giving anyone who uses it a guaranteed full night’s sleep.

5.) It Helps Avoid Allergies

Some people suffer from multiple allergies or sensitive skin, making it difficult to find clothing or sheets that work for them. A night in a bed dressed with polyester or other synthetic fabrics and worse still, full of harsh detergent residue, can leave rashes all over the body with no end in sight. Commonly mass manufactured materials not only evoke allergy symptoms but they exacerbate them, turning what should be a relaxing sleep into one filled with itches and scratches – a real nightmare.

However, silk can be your best hypoallergenic solution to skin sensitivity and allergies. Its natural properties benefit all; even its makers – the silkworms – weave their cocoons into safety shields against the dust mites. The proteins in silk repel these microscopic critters, which, coincidentally, are among the leading causes of human allergies. Alongside this, silk’s long and smooth fibers do not irritate the skin, preventing allergic reactions while letting you sleep peacefully, just as you deserve.

6.) It pretty much guarantees a Good Hair Day

As it does not conduct static electricity, sleeping on silk helps reduce hair breakage as there’s little no no friction placed on the hair follicle. 

7.) It helps reduce acne and inflammation

These pillowcases can be a beneficial addition to other acne treatments,” says Yoram Harth, a board-certified dermatologist, and the medical director of MDacne.

Why? Silk may present a kinder and cleaner surface for cradling your cheek. “Silk pillowcases are gentler on the skin of people with acne or sensitive skin than rough cotton pillowcases,” Harth explains. The friction from cotton on pimple-prone skin can create more inflammation, making acne worse.

Cotton also sops up the natural oil and bacteria from your face and hair, and that grime accumulates on your case night after night, creating a petri dish out of your pillow. (Eeeeeeuuuew)

“Silk pillowcases absorb less of the moisture and dirt and thus may be a better choice for people with acne,” Harth says. “This is especially true for people who sleep on their sides or stomach.”

8.) It offers a Cool Haven from the Hell called Menopause

Hot flashes, that sudden warmth in the face, neck, and chest, are among the most common — and uncomfortable — symptoms of menopause. They’re caused by fluctuating hormones and by a lower threshold for heat that occurs as women age, says Charla Blacker, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. For the 75 to 85 percent of women who suffer from this women’s health issue, she suggests sleeping in light, breathable silk pajamas or on cool silk sheets to help turn down the heat.

Whew. After all that, it seems the only thing my silk pillowcases and pajamas can’t do is my tax return.
