1924年12月23日，一群商人在日内瓦碰头开会。这次会议改变了未来数十年内的电灯泡行业格局，因为他们组织起了历史上首个真正具有全球影响力的行业卡特尔，“太阳神垄断联盟”。关于这个联盟，如今被最广泛讨论的一点是：他们通过精心设计寿命相对较短的白炽灯泡，跑通了“计划性报废”的商业策略。这“启发”了很多后代企业，并逐渐演变成消费主义的一部分。相比之下，“太阳神垄断联盟”的其他工作、以及它所代表的卡特尔垄断模式，相关的讨论则太少。本期节目，我们希望从这个案例入手，正面地了解和辨析关于垄断体系运作中，常见的一些直觉性结论。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |02:50 电灯泡，一个充满卡特尔的市场09:28 超级卡特尔，Phoebus诞生12:01 Phoebus如何切分全球灯泡市场19:28 垄断一定会导致高价格吗？23:19 1000小时寿命目标，高难度倒车30:31 灯泡寿命是消费者最关注的指标吗？36:42 Phoebus的崩溃与遗产| 延伸资料 |Vol.102 欧佩克的成功，“锂佩克”很难复制Vol.204 小历史 | 1933，一家公司与纳粹签订契约BBC-Incandescent: The Phoebus CartelPlanet Money-Episode 902: The Phoebus Cartel《The Light Bulb Conspiracy》IEEE Spectrum-The Great Lightbulb ConspiracyPhoebus Cartel的组织架构图Stocking, George Ward, and Myron Webster Watkins.

The Black Lagoon manga is returning to production after another long hiatus and we finally know a little more about what's going on behind the scenes.Creator Hiroe Rei recently opened up to Comic Natalie on the struggles he's had with his mental health over the past 15 years. That struggle resulted in the manga going on hiatus after hiatus.With the upcoming return likely being another limited run before a break, we decided it's a great time to discuss the series and its background. And also ask the question: Is the outro sequence ripping off Twin Peaks???All this plus the latest anime news and our current watch list as the new anime season gets under way!Mental HealthIf you're struggling or just have something you need to talk about, know you're not alone.

In Bloom is your weekly 60-second anime news recap — the comfiest way to stay caught up with all the biggest news and rumours!This week in anime news:

Welkom bij Nerd Culture #216, jouw wekelijkse dosis films, series, comics en alles daartussenin. Deze week staan we stil bij het overlijden van cultacteur Michael Madsen en duiken we in verse MCU-geruchten: Spider-Man en The Punisher die samen tegen de Savage Hulk knokken? Yes please! Ook bespreken we het nieuws dat Disney een volledige Indiana Jones reboot wil. Natuurlijk delen we onze kijktips, knallen we door trailers, bespreken we Squid Game Season 3, The Batman II, Akira, en nog veel meer. Pak je drankje, leun achterover en nerd met ons mee!Michael Madsen op 67-jarige leeftijd overledenHollywood heeft afscheid moeten nemen van een ware cultheld: Michael Madsen, de iconische acteur met de gruizige stem en de dreigende uitstraling, is overleden op 67-jarige leeftijd. Hij werd wereldberoemd als de sadistische Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs en als Budd in Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 — rollen waarmee hij onvergetelijk werd in Quentin Tarantino's bloederige universum. Maar zijn nalatenschap reikt veel verder dan dat: met meer dan 300 filmcredits, van Donnie Brasco tot Sin City, bouwde Madsen een reputatie als Hollywood's ultieme bad guy met een rauw randje. Ondanks persoonlijke tragedies en een bewogen privéleven, werkte hij tot het laatst aan nieuwe indieprojecten en een dichtbundel. Een echte outlaw tot het einde.The Punisher en Spider-Man slaan de handen ineenEr gonzen nieuwe geruchten rond Spider-Man: Brand New Day, de volgende MCU-film met Tom Holland. Volgens insider Daniel Richtman gaan Spider-Man en Jon Bernthal's Punisher samen de strijd aan met een Savage Hulk, terwijl een Gang War woedt op de achtergrond. Wie de Hulk precies op de helden afstuurt is nog onduidelijk — Mister Negative lijkt een kanshebber. De film zou zwaar leunen op de gelijknamige controversiële comicrun waarin Peter's leven flink werd gereset. Met Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) als regisseur belooft deze Spidey een wilde rit te worden richting juli 2026.Disney gaat Indiana Jones volledig rebootenTot slot lijkt het erop dat Lucasfilm en Disney nog niet klaar zijn met Indiana Jones. Na het tegenvallende resultaat van Dial of Destiny wil de studio de legendarische archeoloog een frisse start geven met een volledige reboot. Volgens insiders wordt de franchise eerst even in de ijskast gezet, maar een officiële aankondiging wordt al verwacht tijdens de D23 Expo volgend jaar. Indy-fans kunnen dus alvast gaan speculeren over wie de nieuwe hoed en zweep zal dragen.Timestamps:00:00:00 Intro00:00:30 Wat gaan we vandaag doen? 00:01:15 comic ding verdedigers 00:10:40 Twin Peaks aflevering 100:18:24 Squid Game Season 300:21:21 john cena film met idris elba00:26:41 The Running Man Trailer00:31:09 Michael Madsen op 67-jarige leeftijd overleden00:35:34 Eerste blik op de Amerikaanse Squid Game00:37:43 Disney gaat de Indiana Jones franchise rebooten00:43:34 Warner Bros heeft niet langer de rechten van Akira in handen00:45:50 Ichiban introduceert motor geïnspireerd door Akira00:48:56 She Rides Shotgun Trailer00:52:20 Matt Reeves heeft het script van The Batman II af00:56:56 Nicholas Hoult wil een team-up met The Joker in James Gunn's DCU00:59:52 David Corenswet hoopt dan weer op een r-rated Superman film01:02:48 Spider-Man en Punisher slaan de handen ineen tegen Savage Hulk01:05:00 TMNT keert terug in de bioscoop voor 35-jarig jubileum01:07:38 The Fast and the Furious 11 haalt opnieuw het lijk van Paul Walker uit de kast01:13:39 Neil Druckmann stapt weg bij seizoen drie van The Last of Us01:15:29 tom cruise01:19:10 Project Hail Mary Trailer#michaelmadsen #squidgame #indianajones #marvel #dc #superman #spiderman ------Spotify ► https://spoti.fi/2qhR6lrApple Podcast ► https://apple.co/3GzfqqDTwitter ► https://www.twitter.com/NerdCulturePCInstagram ► https://www.instagram.com/NerdCulture.PCJelle ► https://www.twitter.com/GKJelleHuey ► https://www.twitter.com/RealHueyBrownKoos ► https://www.twitter.com/jtmooten

The Sanrio 2025 ranking is out, live-action Sailor Moon series returns to television, and the AKIRA film rights revert back to Kodansha! Also, Anime Expo® apologizes for canceled autograph tickets due to vague wording on the rules, Crunchyroll to host music festival during San Diego Comic Con International, and rock band TOKIO announces disbandment...

In this episode of Fine Tooning, Jim Hill and Drew Taylor reunite (despite a case of post-Annecy crud) to cover a wide range of animation and industry news, including: Disney officially announces Lilo & Stitch 2 after the live-action original crosses $945M globally. Elio holds better than expected with a solid second weekend as it climbs past $42M domestically. Live-action Tangled delayed to 2029, reportedly to make room for the Lilo & Stitch sequel. Warner Bros. loses the rights to Akira after years of development—setting the stage for a new studio to reimagine the cyberpunk classic. Laika's ParaNorman returns to theaters for Halloween 2025 as part of the studio's 20th anniversary celebration. Also in this episode: KPOP Demon Hunters debuts at #2 globally on Netflix, Broadway updates on Beauty and the Beast and Hercules, and what's really in those Dragon Flame-Grilled Whoppers at Burger King. It's a shorter episode while Drew recovers—but packed with news, box office insight, and some wild theme park popcorn bucket trivia. Be Our Guest Vacations Planning your next Disney vacation?

Mutual Perceptions and Images in Japanese-German Relations, 1860-2010 (Brill, 2017) examines the mutual images formed between Japan and Germany from the mid-nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, and the influence of these images on the development of bilateral relations. Unlike earlier research on Japanese-German relations, which focused on the similarity of these countries' historical trajectories, this publication presents a more nuanced picture. It relativizes perceptions of a special "spiritual relationship" between Japan and Germany as well as their commonalities of "national character" through an exploration of previously untapped historical visual and textual sources. With essays by sixteen leading scholars in the field, this collection is an invaluable contribution to the historiography of modern Japan and Germany, and to the field of international relations. Contributors are: Hans-Joachim Bieber, Fukuoka Mariko, Hakoishi Hiroshi, Iwasa Takurō, Katō Yōko, Kawakita Atsuko, Gerhard Krebs, Kudō Akira, Heinrich Menkhaus, Danny Orbach, Peter Pantzer, Sven Saaler, Satō Takumi, Volker Stanzel, Suzuki Naoko, Tajima Nobuo, Tano Daisuke, and Rolf-Harald Wippich.

Divorce can feel like a storm that rolls in fast—no forecast, no shelter, no time to prepare. One day, you're a husband, a full-time father, a provider with a plan. The next, you're staring at an empty home, a fractured schedule with your kids, and a mountain of legal and emotional upheaval. It doesn't just split assets—it splits your identity.You may find yourself questioning your worth, your role, and your future. The routines that grounded you—picking up your kids from school, sitting at the dinner table, even just being part of a family unit—can vanish overnight. Finances take a hit. Friendships grow awkward. Even the strongest men can feel blindsided, powerless, and utterly alone.If you're a dad navigating this storm, I want you to know something crucial: you're not weak for struggling, and you don't have to weather it alone. This month—Men's Mental Health Awareness Month—is the perfect time to drop the armor, silence the shame, and take a real, honest look at what you're carrying inside.Because you're not just fighting for yourself—you're fighting for your presence in your children's lives, for your future peace of mind, and for the version of you that's still in there, waiting to rise.Let's talk. Let's be honest. And most importantly—let's help each other make it through.Join our Signal Channel: https://shorturl.at/8yqTbJoin The Divorce Dadvocate Membership Community - FULL Episodes - Live Meetings – FREE Workshops & Courses – Private Discussion Groups & MORE! - https://thedivorceddadvocate.com/membership-tiers/How Are You Adjusting To Your Divorce?

Akira Saito (Sho Kosugi) is living a lovely life with his wife, Aiko (Donna Kei Benz), and their two young boys in Japan. Akira does have a secret. Is it that he's awesome? Yes! One day, Aiko encourages Akira to move the family to the U.S. where she was born. They make the move. This does not go well – and quickly! Some local mob thugs have been storing their secret goods in a hidey hole adjacent to the Saito's new residence. A cop on the take steals a necklace from the mob and an enforcer, Limehouse (James Booth), goes completely bananas in his own mind. Totally APE here! Limehouse proceeds to go on a series of odd adventures to harass and harm the Saito family. Akira is all, naw man! Then, he unleashes the full ninja – fancy head garb and all. RTS wonders if this was all real. Ninjas aren't real, right? Wink! Collin takes the time to admire the stunning silk ninja-wear. Jeremy becomes a dock rat. It's more appealing than one would think. La-Mar heads to Pier 25 for blowtorch games and loose necklace inquiries. Can we ever truly put our shadows behind ourselves? 

Send us a textWilliam Gibson described Cyberpunk as a fusion of high-tech and low-life, exploring the intersection of technology, cybernetics, and computer networks on human society in a near-future, often dystopian setting.If you don't know who William Gibson is then shame on you.Like most people out there, my first exposure to Cyberpunk was Blade Runner. The 1982 movie by Ridley Scott blew me away. After that I watched movies like Freejack and Johnny Mnemonic, Akira, and Ghost in the Shell. it wasn't until the late 90's that I started diving into the literary world of Cyberpunk with Nuromancer and Snowcrash.I loved the setting, the style, the tech, and the action, but I never got into the roleplaying games. I heard about Cyberpunk, and Cyberpunk 2020. But for some strange reason I never picked them up.Then Mike asked me if I was interested in playing Cyberpunk Red.I jumped at the chance.Mike ran our group though almost a year of Cyberpunk using the Cyberpunk Red rules and we have recently started up again focusing more on the Edgerunner 2077 expansion for Cyberpunk Red.After that much game time, we got opinions.In this episode Mike, Christina and I are going to give you an honest, unbiased review of Cyberpunk Red.But before we do that, Christina, break down the legalese for us.[Kick to Christina so she can go on about how we haven't been paid or compensated in any way for our opinion and we bought the shit with money out of our own pocket.]Now Mike, Start us off on our review of Cyberpunk Red.
