The best thing about being my age is: blank. The best thing about being my age is: blank. Those complicated years from seventh to ninth grade are both a time of rapid change for many kids and a subject of enduring bewilderment for many adults. We invited 14 kids ages 11 to 14 to tell us about how things look from their vantage. They like being kids; being an adult seems stressful, particularly when it comes to paying the bills.
☆ Meet Gen Zalpha, the powerful combo generation of teens and 20-somethings who are about to have major spending power
  + stars: | 2023-02-27 | by ( Avery Hartmans | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Generation Zalpha is a major target for marketers due to its talent and its spending power. The internet-native Zalpha generation is a prime target for brands for another reason: its potential spending power. Patrick, the Claire's CMO, recently told AdAge that Gen Alpha is like Gen Z "on steroids." While Gen Z is often described as having grown up online, Gen Alpha was born online. Experts therefore predict Gen Alpha will be more impatient than previous generations, because they'll expect their needs to be met instantaneously.

☆ I asked ChatGPT to write my resignation letter but instead I got career coaching
  + stars: | 2023-01-17 | by ( Rebecca Knight | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
My editor asked me to see whether ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, could write a decent resignation letter. But I hadn't expected that the personalized resignation letter would prompt self-reflection. What I didn't expect was that the effect of seeing ChatGPT's personalized resignation letter in black and white would be so jarring. My request was straightforward and so was the reply:Can you write me a resignation letter for my job as Senior Correspondent at Insider? If you change your mind and decide that you do not want to resign, you can try to retract your resignation letter.

She specializes in work with tweens, teens and young adults. The fact that diet culture all over social media targets grown women is bad enough, but such messaging also trickles down to tweens and teens. But as we enter the winter holiday season, shame-based diet culture pressure, often wrapped up with toxic positivity to appear encouraging, increases. “Parents are often made to feel helpless in the face of TikTokers, peer pressure or wider diet culture, but it’s important to remember this: parents are influencers, too,” said Hanson. “Talk openly about it.”She suggests asking the following questions when discussing people’s messaging around diet culture:● Who are they?

☆ How Patti Smith Found the Dark Side of ‘You Light Up My Life’
  + stars: | 2022-11-12 | by ( Rich Cohen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
The tune had been written by ad man Joseph Brooks for the soundtrack of Brooks’s self-produced, self-directed film of the same name. Brooks made an inspired choice in Boone. She was young (21), pretty in a generic West Coast sort of way, operatic and the inheritor of a great schlock tradition. Her father Pat Boone’s cover versions of R&B hits by Fats Domino and Little Richard are what people really mean when they denounce cultural appropriation. Pat Boone singing Little Richard is a crime.
☆ Best new family movies on Netflix? 'Enola Holmes 2' is excellent
  + stars: | 2022-11-04 | by ( Ani Bundel | Ani Bundel Is A Cultural Critic Who Has Been Writing Regularly Since Her Work Can Also Be Found At Elite Daily | Weta'S Telly Visions | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +6 min
The sequel to Netflix’s hit feature film “Enola Holmes” may not have the cleverest title, but “Enola Holmes 2” is just as quick-witted and charming as the original. A quirky take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic mysteries, Enola is more than ready for another adorable, all-ages romp. Springer’s books, and the films, invent a female character that Doyle never conceived of, and put her front and center. “Sherlock Holmes” is one of the most adapted mysteries series in history. Hopefully the success of the “Enola Holmes” franchise encourages them to make more.

  + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( Anna Silman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +34 min
Suddenly, in the midst of discussing what Cohen should wear to the next LoveShackFancy store opening, there was the sound of glass clanging. (Another person confirmed hearing this exchange, though the person close to the company said multiple Zoom attendees did not recall it.) The person close to the company said, "It is not uncommon for trips to have dual purposes — they always generate content." Another time, during a visit to the Palm Beach store, Cohen freaked out after seeing staffers in sweatshirts and sneakers. "As with most contemporary fashion brands, we currently do not operate in the plus-size business," the person close to LoveShackFancy said.

The Sam Adams brewer, which also owns the hard seltzer brand Truly, is struggling as the popularity of alcoholic seltzer appears to be fading fast. “The continuing decline of the hard seltzer segment … is deeper than previously expected,” said Boston Beer founder and chairman Jim Koch on the company’s earnings call in July. Sam Adams owner Boston Beer made a big bet on Truly Hard Seltzer. Sales have slowed, the company is still losing money, its founders have left, and the stock has plunged nearly 80% this year. E-signature software company DocuSign (DOCU) and virtual health company Teladoc (TDOC) have also plunged this year after getting huge boosts from Covid in 2020.
