Israel observes the first anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks as it steps up attacks on Gaza and Lebanon. The people of Gaza have endured an unmitigated humanitarian catastrophe as Israel carries out one of the most intensive bombing campaigns in history.

Why BORG drinks are dangerous for you
  + stars: | 2024-05-20 | by ( Terry Ward | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —If you’ve been to a party lately and haven’t seen someone drinking a BORG, you’re likely not partying with college students. As the drink’s name suggests, “it’s intended to get you extremely drunk.”What Lembke calls the BORG’s “social contagion factor” makes it even more dangerous. BORG posts starring gallon jugs with punny names such as Captain Borgan, Our Borg and Savior, Borgan Donor and Borgan Wallen proliferate on TikTok. Thinking along those lines is part of what makes BORGs potentially dangerous to the people turning to them as a party drink, Lembke said. The fact that BORGS are usually sweetened with a diluting agent such as electrolyte drinks or water flavor enhancers only makes them more dangerous, she said.

How TikTok Changed Us

In the coming days, Congress may advance a bill to ban TikTok or force its sale to an American company. A few schools have removed bathroom mirrors because so many students were leaving class to film TikTok videos there. For 14 percent of American adults, TikTok is a regular news source, up from 3 percent in 2020. People who don’t have traditional backgrounds in journalism, akin to bloggers for the TikTok era, aggregate and share information in snappy videos. Organizations including The New York Times are also making short-form videos in which reporters talk to the camera about their stories, the TikTok way.

Trader Joe's mini tote bags are the new Stanley cups. Trader Joe's earlier this year released a limited-edition set of canvas bags that look like its normal-sized bags but are smaller. The Trader Joe's bags are cute, I guess? Ask someone who's not very online if they've heard about the Trader Joe's tote bags, and you'll probably get a "huh?"

Let's start with what deserves most of the blame: the TikTok Shop. The emphasis on Shop content has two bad effects. AdvertisementThe first is the simple fact that I'm being shown lots more low-quality videos that I'm not actually interested in. Tiktok / ScreenshotIt used to be that TikTok would try to convince me I had undiagnosed ADHD; now, it just insists I want to buy Halara brand pants. Reels is still way worse than TikTok: The content is awful and the algorithm is stupider.

Shein’s Influencer Fiasco
  + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
There’s an infamous tweet that goes like this: “Each day on Twitter there is one main character. She was among a handful of creators from the United States who accepted a free trip to China from the fast-fashion behemoth Shein. The company was founded in China over a decade ago, and though it still produces items there, Shein is now based in Singapore. The company has been accused of sourcing cotton from China’s Xinjiang region, where forced labor and human rights abuses are widespread. The name is pronounced, “she in.” As in, “she in some very cheap clothing.” As in “she in trouble for those TikTok videos.”
