Step 1: Fill the carton with less juice.
Step 2: Make the packaging smaller and say "new packaging but still as much juice as before."

Same size carton, there’s just more air in it now

Good story for Arbuckle. Surprise win by the Argos. No doubt assisted by the bloody cut on the throwing hand of Blue Bombers' starting QB, Zach Callaros, in the 3rd quarter. Zach came back out next quarter but he wasn't throwing like himself with that glove on his hand.

There was more parity in the league this year than the last few, and I think they'll be even more next year; ie, more teams with a chance to make the playoffs

There is so much plausible and/or perceived foul play here that the police saying "no evidence of foul play" by one of the world's largest companies and releasing no other details of this young woman's death is not good enough.

I hope civil charges are pressed, because as far as I'm concerned more eyes and publicity are needed on this case.

I previously called modern COP conferences oil and gas industries cosplaying social responsibility to delay, distract, and deny. Here's another example of what a @#$%show they are.

Elsewhere in the video, Ghodawat and Plant Based Treaty’s scientific health advisor and campaigner Kimmy Cushman showed a menu being served at the conference. Among the dishes were a “vegan” salad containing cheese and a “vegan” toast with cream cheese. “Vegetarian” options included a chicken caesar salad and a salmon salad. One dish marked as vegetarian even included beef, which is regarded as the most environmentally damaging food product.

Ghodawat confirmed to Plant Based News that general food options at COP are very meat-heavy. Most coffee stalls are also not serving plant-based milk, and those that do are charging extra for them. Stalls include a hot dog stand, Domino’s pizza, and a burger bar. “It’s absolutely horrendous,” Ghodawat said. “Words don’t do justice to the anger we’ve all felt.”

This enabled him to take home two gold medals for his performance, bringing his total to 12 world titles after his first place at the European championships earlier this year. The Bulgarian athlete has also won a gold and a bronze medal for wrestling at a national level.

Andreev told Plant Based News (PBN) that he has been vegan for over five years and vegetarian for nearly seven. He has previously said that he eats lentils and beans most days, along with rice, peas, potatoes, nuts, fruit, and other nutritious plant-based and whole-food ingredients, per Great Vegan Athletes.

I'm on a mailing list and got an email that read

We’re super excited to announce that They’re Trying To Kill Us is now on Apple TV for download or rental, and streaming for FREE on Roku, Tubi and Youtube’s official movie channel

I watched it a year or two ago. It's more about anti-Black food and environmental racism in the US than it is about veganism per se, but I found it a highly edifying vegan-ish video.

https://www.theyretryingtokillus.com/

They’re Trying to Kill Us is a new groundbreaking documentary from Executive Producers seven-time NBA All-Star, Chris Paul and 7X Grammy winner, Billie Eilish.

The film features notable influencers from the fields of Hip Hop, medicine, sports, entertainment, policy, and politics weighing in on the singular most deadly threat to American society that mainstream media doesn't want to talk about.

The Canadian government is spending money to attack rigorous journalists who partially dissent with Canadian foreign policy (e.g., Israel and Co's genocide) and to call them Chinese state-affiliated news outlets.

I already had strong suspicions the Canadian government was employing associations with China as pretext to disparage and censor dissenting ideas, people, and platforms. This is strong evidence.

I wish our government focused more on governing based on public wants and needs and less on covering up governance that goes against or that is morally bankrupt or corrupt

Several million spread across a handful of projects may seem like small potatoes compared to other federal financing worth hundreds of millions, but Alex Cool-Fergus, Climate Action Network Canada’s national policy manager, is frustrated to see the federal government pump any money into the hydrogen sector. In an interview with Canada’s National Observer she called hydrogen an improbable “techno-fix” that has been effectively marketed by the fossil fuel industry.

The possible end uses for hydrogen are dwindling, which is eroding its forecasted demand. To put in perspective just how significant this is, four years ago Natural Resources Canada expected the global market could be worth up to $11.7 trillion, but now says it could be worth up to $1.9 trillion — an 84 per cent drop.

“It's disappointing to see that the federal government continues to invest in this false solution, and that disappointment is amplified by the fact that some of this money is going to massive companies that don't need any more money,” she said, calling it a “slap in the face.”

“If [fossil fuel companies are] going to be investing in this at all, they should be using their own profits.” Last year, Enbridge posted $5.8 billion in profit and greenlit $10 billion worth of new projects.

So true. As others have remarked on here, entshittification really changes the calculus of "is piracy worth it?"

Great article. Nice to see an economist doing such important work. I don't really understand finances. I snipped the parts of the article that helped me understand the finding/headling. There's a great chart in the article of taxation differences since the 1960s too - staggering! Plutocracy in action!

Published in The New York Times with the headline "It's Time to Tax the Billionaires," Zucman's analysis notes that billionaires pay so little in taxes relative to their vast fortunes because they "live off their wealth"—mostly in the form of stock holdings—rather than wages and salaries.

Stock gains aren't currently taxed in the U.S. until the underlying asset is sold, leaving billionaires like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Tesla CEO Elon Musk—a pair frequently competing to be the single richest man on the planet—with very little taxable income.

"But they can still make eye-popping purchases by borrowing against their assets," Zucman noted. "Mr. Musk, for example, used his shares in Tesla as collateral to rustle up around $13 billion in tax-free loans to put toward his acquisition of Twitter."

Shrinkflation noobs. Never specify the size of a (pseudo-)prepared product. It's better to use abstract terms like large, extra large, and jumbo that can be shrunk down in size without increasing legal liability down whenever you wish to juice your profits a bit (/s)

In the fall, Jezebel reported how a bipartisan bill ostensibly meant to protect children from harmful content online could be weaponized by Republican politicians to censor everything from LGBTQ+ content to sex ed info to abortion resources—and for all internet users, not just children.

This is so dystopian

Also - and I'm only familiar with the 1971 film version with Gene Wilder - Grandpa Joe is clearly the only friend, companion, and available adult in Charlie's life who he can talk to. His mother is too busy from working to support the family. He doesn't have friends or money to spend. And Grandpa Joe does show some guilt and awareness about not contributing more to the family. He has that great line when Charlie tries to give him a nickel for tobacco: "When a loaf of bread looks like a banquet, I've no right buying tobacco."

Removing downvoting feels intuitively wrong to me (eg, I believe that dissent is a really important part of a healthy democracy). If all those mega-corp platforms are removing downvoting, then I'm pretty confident my intuition on this matter is correct
