    Bari Weiss Signs Huge Deal To Usher CBS News Into Its Vichy Era | Defector
    https://defector.com/bari-weiss-signs-huge-deal-to-usher-cbs-news-into-its-vichy-era
    On Monday, newly appointed Paramount CEO David Ellison announced that his company had acquired the Free Press, the smirking blood-and-soil blog founded and run by former New York Times hall monitor Bari Weiss. As part of the deal, Weiss will ascend to the role of editor-in-chief of CBS News, a Paramount property and one of the biggest news organizations in the country. How could the Free Press—the total editorial output of which on a given day amounts to one or two reheated versions of "The Kids These Days Are Crazy," something like "Liberal Mayors Keep Lying About The 'Black Issue,'" and "How This IDF Wife Is Balancing Motherhood And Killing Child Terrorists"—be worth a reported $150 million, and why is its oafish founder about to oversee a huge press operation? Respectively: It isn't, and she shouldn't. The acquisition only makes sense in the context of both a significantly larger deal and its broader project of media reorientation. Now that the Free Press deal has gone through and Weiss has taken one of the most powerful positions in American news, the richest people in the world will have taken big steps toward ushering in the toothless, acquiescent future of mainstream media they have always wanted.

    The Future Of The Sneaker Business First Requires A Future | Defector

    Global capitalism begins with apparel. Slaves were brought to the American South from West Africa to do farm labor, and by the 19th century that largely meant cotton, a ubiquitous puffball that is easy to grow and aggravating to harvest. Seeds would be removed with a cotton gin, and the bulk of the puff would be sent to England, where it was turned into thread by gigantic steam-powered looms, woven together, and sewed into mass-produced coats, shirts, and pants that were sold in retail shops all over the world. In the 1970s or thereabouts, this process broke in two: The corporation, which once lorded over vertically integrated processes to create a final product to sell to consumers, became a contractor coordinating logistics between an omniplex of factories dotted all over the world. In the post-industrial world, which is primarily in the Global North, brands deal with marketing, design, logistics, and materials acquisition; that workforce operates out of air-conditioned offices. The more recently industrialized countries of the Global South, where labor is cheaper, less inclined, or just less able to unionize, and where governments are eager to play ball, is home to a constellation of separate factories, each operating as independent contractors and competing with each other in a never-ending race for lower prices and more innovative material science.

    University of San Francisco warns of man in Meta glasses harassing students
    https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/usf-meta-smart-glasses-warning-21083264.php
    The University of San Francisco is warning students after reports of a man wearing Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses who allegedly approached women on and around campus with unwanted advances. In a safety advisory issued this week, the university’s Department of Public Safety said the man made “inappropriate dating questions” and may have been attempting to post videos of the encounters online. The account name “pickuplines.pov” on TikTok and Instagram has been linked to the reported incidents, according to the USF advisory. “No threats or acts of violence have been reported,” the notice said, but the university urged students to remain vigilant, walk with others when possible, and report suspicious activity immediately.
