McVitie’s is a large biscuit company, naturally.) (N.B.: A Wykhamist is a student or alumnus of Winchester School, while a Wholemeal Digestive is not dissimilar to what Americans might call a graham cracker. A new cream filling well in advance of anything McVitie’s have got round to thinking of. The last one to spit his stuff on the biscuit eats it. The players stand around in a circle tossing off onto a Wholemeal Digestive. The somewhat more respectable writer, actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry, the U.K.’s official posh, know-it-all uncle, did reference the game in his 1995 boarding-school-based novel The Liar, and describes the rules thus:Ī Wykhamist friend told me of a pursuit at Winchester called the Biscuit Game. (He also reportedly considered Gimp Disco, Split Dickslit, Bitch Piglet and Blood Fart, which, wow, okay.) Even Fred Durst, who founded and named goonish nü-metal band Limp Bizkit, claims the name was chosen simply to roll off the tongue (like Led Zeppelin) but be memorably odd it didn’t actually have anything to do with the game. It’s not a game that’s been enormously well documented, despite its relative cultural ubiquity. But despite the differences in title, the core components remain the same: a bunch of dudes standing around a biscuit (or cookie, as you would say), jerking off, with the last guy to finish having to eat the newly frosted comestible. ![]() Soggy Biscuit is the best-known version in my native Britain, but it’s referred to by various names around the world: Jizzy Jiscuit, Wet Biscuit, Limp Biscuit, Milky Biscuit Ookie Cookie, Kekswichsen in Germany, Soggy Sao in Australia. It would melt and break.It’s an enigma, Soggy Biscuit: a decades-old social meme a word-of-mouth cultural phenomena like the pencils-up-the-nose finals suicide that gets everyone in the exam hall an A a game nobody claims to have played, but plenty are adamant that their friend’s cousin’s friend’s cousin sure did. Hello! don't keep on dipping your biscuit in the chai. If you really feel that your biscuit has the power, then show your might by throwing your tweets on the issues like Jubilee Hills rape case as well. Who are here to listen to such insipid tea and soggy biscuit stories! When the social media started hitting on your butts, you released a press note stating that it was the act of an irresponsible employee who was eventually sacked from the job. Yes, you the producers of the recent patriotic film cracked some crude jokes on a minor girl who became famous by the virtue of her English learning. Insulting a minor girl student from a village by dragging her on to the social media trolling just for the sake of increasing the followers is like attempting a virtual molestation. But projecting as a decent and responsible online media house with the nexus of some actors and actresses, and stooping down to insult a common girl is really abhorring. ![]() When your organization is proud to be known for this kind of criminal activity, then fine. But dragging a poor girl student from a remote village into trolling to mudsling on the government is highly abominable. Social media trolling is common with film celebrities and politicians who are in the public domain. Stop this nonsense before you are branded as an online terrorist. You love to play with the senses and sensibilities of people around for no concrete reason or agenda. You poke the fans' groups and social media handles by tweeting something that creates a tumult. ![]() But the people of your organization seem to be perverts and attention mongers who can stoop down to any level of disgraceful acts. When you boast yourself as a patriotic film maker, you should be able to stand up to it in your behavior as well. Collaborations that create a bigger audience. Speaking about in-demand streetwear brands, Adam Alter, a marketing professor at NYU Stern School of Business has said: “if you want to create a scarcity frenzy, and your brand has a strong following, all you need to do is release a large number of different products, but very few of each one.”Ģ. With consumers often driven by FOMO – a fear of missing out, traffic to Supreme’s website during one of its drops can increase by up to 17,000%. The effectiveness of Supreme’s approach should not be underestimated as habits are central to human nature. Supreme’s customers automatically check the company’s website each week at 11:00 am on Thursdays to see what is new and exciting. Having the drops occur at a specific time reinforces this habit. Customers do not have to guess when new merchandise will be available they know the exact times and are always ready to shop.Įven more impressive is the fact that once merchandise is gone it is almost never sold by Supreme again. This creates a heightened level of desire since customers know that if they do not get their hands on a piece of merchandise they will never see it in a Supreme store or on its website again. This turns all of Supreme’s drops immediately into limited edition collections. This approach is different than the one taken by brands that drop an entire collection all at one time. Scarcity that heightens demand. With a level of precision and discipline that is characteristic of the widely popular streetwear brand, every Thursday morning at 11:00 am during the summer/spring and fall/winter seasons Supreme drops a limited collection of merchandise. Demand for Supreme’s drops greatly outstrip supply with merchandise often selling out within seconds. The carefully crafted drops have created a habit that keeps customers coming back to Supreme each week to see what new merchandise is up for sale. In 2020 VF Corporation, which owns The North Face, Timberland, and Vans bought Supreme for $2.1 billion. What has led to Supreme’s ascent and dominance in the clothing market? It can be traced back to a carefully crafted strategy that has capitalized on (1) the scarcity of its products, (2) the credibility of brand collaborations, (3) the growth of the resale market and the power of social media and (4) ever evolving fashion tastes.ġ. ![]() ![]() ![]() The deal was significant because it was the first time such a large private equity firm invested in the streetwear market. The popularity of the brand which sells jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, and other accessories online as well as in its stores caught the eye of private equity firm The Carlyle Group which made a $500 million investment in the brand in 2017 valuing the company at $1 billion. British-American entrepreneur James Jebbia started Supreme out of a skateboard shop in New York City in 1994. Streetwear brand Supreme is one of the most sought after apparel brands in the world. I saw somewhere that her face is the most common reference for cosmetic surgery. Instagram is looking more and more like Kim. Sure, she’s a product of her society and embodies its aspirations, I find it interesting how she influences those aspirations. There’s something really amazing about the example that Kim sets. ![]() Who am I to judge one celebrity activist against another? The Kardashians are extremely skilled in making their extraordinary life seem relatable, and I their success comes from instinctively understanding, and being able to embody in real time, the changing mechanics of media. Why are such people iconized today? Certainly, there are other people who are in some sense icons, such as Greta Thunberg, Malala Yousafzai, and other political and human-rights activists, who should have achieved the same cult status.ĬKT: I don’t know - that seems kind of moralistic to me. At the same time Kim Kardashian and her entire family are utterly not relatable - owning private jets, wardrobes bigger than many people’s apartments, being able to do pretty much anything in the world because financial constraints are non-existent. Maybe the West in the early 2020s is like the final decades of the Soviet Union where everything that you say is coded with the collective self-awareness that you’re just playing along with the fiction of the state that no one is allowed to call out as a fiction.ĬKE: In a way, the Kardashians are literally a simulation because they’re a reality show. ![]() I never know what it’s going to say.ĬKE: Does that mean that in our society you can’t say anything too complex or controversial without risking losing your status?ĬKT: You certainly can’t acknowledge the simulation. Certain elements of that avatar’s script in The Finesse are continually algorithmically generated anew each time. They grew up seeing through the matrix and seeing how these pillars of a democracy, such as the justice system, could be shaped by media, by narrative, by storytelling.ĬKE: So, your Kim is comparable to Kim seeing through the matrix? What do you think would happen if the real Kim Kardashian actually talked the way the character looking like her does in your film? Would this be the downward spiral of her success and (mainstream) popularity?ĬKT: Part of the wisdom that comes with evolving to a higher being is the ability to be relatable to humans and not scare them.ĬKT: Well, it is an AI, in parts. They saw their dad represent OJ Simpson in that trial that was a rupture in the West’s fictional democracy. They’re more advanced, higher beings as it were. The Kardashians have been able to preempt all of this, in that they’ve evolved beyond that idea of a human. But it’s an increasingly implausible fiction in the face of gene editing, neural engineering, machine learning, and the rise of the East, which operates on somewhat different fictions. That fiction is the basis of our consumer democracies - it’s the ideological or religious front line of an empire. When we use that term, we’re not usually referring to a biological category, are we? We usually mean something more than that - a particular idea from the West of what it means to be human: a liberated, autonomous individual that’s “true” to themselves and is somehow ontologically distinct from everything that’s not human. ![]() The idea that we’re “human is kind of a fiction. The most important part of that fiction, the part that we each need to hit to even count as a convincing human being, is authenticity. We all project a fiction of ourselves to a certain extent. Kim Kardashian has become an entity, but what happens to the person behind that entity?ĬHRISTOPHER KULENDRAN THOMAS: That’s a good question for us all to ask ourselves. In a way, that blurs their “real” identities, which then oscillate between being real and fictitious. She is part of an obscure sphere where people are mystified - be it through technology, social media, or prolonged hyper-exposure. ![]() CLAIRE KORON ELAT: The first time I saw your film, The Finesse, I thought that it was the real Kim Kardashian. ![]() It contains perfumes or natural essential oils to accomplish this goal.

Here are the main pros and cons associated with carpet powder. Whether you want a fresh aroma in your room or have dirt and stains to tackle, our detailed information and product recommendations will help you find the best carpet powder for you.Ĭarpet powder is great for pet owners because it can deodorize and neutralize common odors from accidents on carpet.Ĭarpet powder can do many great things for your carpet, but there are a few concerns to consider, too. The type of carpet powder that will work best for you depends on your carpet-cleaning needs. Multipurpose powder also has ingredients that attach to dirt, pet hair, and stains when activated and whisk them away with the help of a vacuum's suction power. While some contain scents that temporarily mask odors, others use deodorizing agents that banish them from the carpet's fibers for good. Achieving a cleaner, fresher-smelling carpet can be as easy as sprinkling on some carpet powder before you vacuum.įrom neutralizing tough odors to giving your vacuum a dirt-removing boost, carpet powder is available in various formulas that work in different ways. Once saturated with carbon dioxide at large point sources such as fossil fuel power plants, the powder would be transported to storage sites and buried in underground geological formations to prevent CO 2 release into the atmosphere.Ī paper on the CO 2 capture work, In-situ ion-activated carbon nanospheres with tunable ultramicroporosity for superior CO 2 capture, appears in the journal Carbon.Cleaning your carpet to remove dirt, stains, and odors can be a time-consuming chore, but you don't necessarily need water and liquid detergents for great results. "And because of their size, these pores can capture CO 2 very efficiently. "The porosity of this material is extremely high," said Chen, who holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in advanced materials for clean energy. Carbon spheres that make up the powder have many, many pores and the vast majority of them are less than one-millionth of a metre in diameter. The technique they developed uses heat and salt to extract a black carbon powder from plant matter. The researchers, who collaborated with colleagues at several universities in China, set out to improve adsorption performance by manipulating the size and concentration of pores in carbon materials. Since it is abundant, inexpensive and environmentally friendly, that makes carbon an excellent material for CO 2 capture. "This will be more and more important in the future," said Chen, "We have to find ways to deal with all the CO 2 produced by burning fossil fuels."ĬO 2 molecules stick to the surface of carbon when they come in contact with it, a process known as adsorption. The powder, created in the lab of Zhongwei Chen, a chemical engineering professor at Waterloo, can filter and remove CO 2 at facilities powered by fossil fuels before it is released into the atmosphere and is twice as efficient as conventional methods.Ĭhen said the new process to manipulate the size and concentration of pores could also be used to produce optimized carbon powders for applications including water filtration and energy storage, the other main strand of research in his lab. “The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives-that casts a long shadow, and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on. On a show known for, and named after, F-bombs, the only dangerous word spoken was the N-word-and the President said it. The episode taped on Friday, two days after the shootings in Charleston, and Obama did talk thoughtfully about racism, gun violence, and politics. (This is why the “S.N.L.” skit about the Rock Obama hits a nerve.) He may have been as real as he gets, but you start to wonder if there’s a realer, messier, angrier him in there anywhere. Still, his conversation with the serene, even-tempered Terry Gross brought forth stories we’d never imagined we’d hear from her. Maron’s conversations with them often reveal interesting shades of that same restless curiosity and insight. Maron deals mainly with comedians, whose nature, quite often, is to be excoriating. His childhood was unconventional (not “crazy”): a peripatetic life, a loving, nontraditional family. ![]() When he mentioned parental craziness and the desire to not pass your own craziness on to your kids, Maron said, “How are you crazy?” Well, he isn’t. Play basketball, but he’s not as young as he used to be. What does he do for fun? Watch his daughters grow up he finds them spectacular. ![]() Part of what has become second nature to him is speaking so reasonably that it’s almost aggravating. As he put it, toward the end of the interview, being President is like being a comedian: “The more you do something and the more you practice it, at a certain point it becomes second nature.” His conversation, humor, and revelations are all intelligent and uncontroversial. Obama is by nature rational and pragmatic, and two terms of the Presidency have made him all the more so. A President’s heart and soul tend to consist of deeply reasonable sentiments, unless he’s Lyndon Johnson. Could Maron talk to the President the way he’s talked to comedians and other guests, getting to the heart and soul of things? It’s an environment that has fostered incredible conversations with hundreds of guests, most of whom reveal things about themselves you’d never expect. The comings and goings of Maron’s cats and the workings of his heart and mind are part of the appeal. We’re not just in a conversation-we’re in a garage, and in a life. “I ran the country from my couch for a couple of years.” “I used to be more politically involved,” he said. ![]() They shot the breeze, called each other “man.” Maron said he was nervous, but he sounded as charmingly riled up as ever. Obama admired Maron’s furnishings, and razzed him a bit. ![]() But the President coming to visit you in your garage- Pow!, as Maron might say. The success of “WTF” has led to widespread fame and adulation, TV deals, a turbocharged standup career, and other life improvements. Maron, famously, is a soul in progress he started “WTF” after a fitfully successful standup and broadcasting career, recovery from addiction, two divorces, many breakups. What’s it like when the President visits the Cat Ranch? If you’re a loyal What the Fuckaneer, it’s thrilling for Maron’s sake. He had tidied the garage, “moved the piles into the house.” “It’s crazy. There is something in here that looks like an armed yoga mat that I didn’t ask too many questions about.” Maron, even today, was reassuringly Maron. “I’ve heard there is going to be a sniper on the roof. I had to hide my cats in the bedroom,” Maron said. We listeners, the What the Fuckers and What the Fuckniks, were just “folks” the references to Squarespace were minimal Maron’s short opening monologue focussed on his getting ready for the President to visit his garage, which doubles as his recording studio. I didn’t sleep great because the President of the United States is on the show today.” The historic episode of “WTF,” buzzed about for days and discussed at the top of the Times home page after it was posted, was more straitlaced than usual. “Let’s do this! How are you, folks?” Marc Maron said at the beginning of today’s episode of his podcast, “WTF with Marc Maron.” “I’m excited, I’m nervous, I’m trying not to freak out. ![]() Often, these are simplistic algorithms that bluntly flag any software as "dangerous" because it Heuristics are generic algorithms that try to identify malicious behavior by evaluating certain program characteristicsĪccording to their proprietary implementation.
