When every day in November is "Black Friday," does the actual day lose its power? This debate reveals something fascinating, even when retailers stretch deals across a month, buying confidence still peaks on the two core days, creating a logistics advantage without diluting the psychology.Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they debate whether Black Friday still matters when it's been stretched from a single day into an entire month-long event. Sparked by Chuck's LinkedIn post about walking through Kohl's in mid-November seeing "Black Friday Exclusive" signs everywhere, the conversation explores why consumers remain skeptical of early deals even as they snap them up, how spreading sales across November solves crushing logistics problems for retailers trying to maintain two-day shipping promises, and why the core days still drive peak conversion despite weeks of promotions. Nick shares his terrifying experience working Best Buy's Black Friday floor in 2009 Alabama when customers literally ran through the doors. He also brings actual sales data showing conversion rates and revenue rise the moment November 1st sales launch, debunking Chuck's assumption that extended promotions dilute results. The data proves retailers get incremental lift throughout November while consumer skepticism still funnels peak confidence to core days. Chuck counters by dissecting why brands like Walmart now need novelty stunts (mac and cheese TVs that sold out instantly) and Target's mystery bag gimmicks to recreate urgency that scarcity naturally provided. They trace Black Friday's evolution from a 2005-onwards phenomenon to today's reality where many retailers operate at a loss on the day itself, turning it into a brand-building loyalty play rather than the profitability milestone its name suggests.Key Actionable Takeaways:Spread promotional periods to manage logistics without losing psychological impact - Extended Black Friday sales let retailers handle order volume smoothly while consumer skepticism keeps the core days meaningful, with buying confidence still peaking on actual Black Friday/Cyber Monday regardless of when deals startLayer exclusive scarcity mechanics over broad sales to maintain urgency - When discounts lose their power through month-long availability, add limited-quantity novelty items that create genuine FOMO and drive store traffic on peak daysAccept that promotional days may now be brand investments, not profit drivers - Many retailers operate at a loss on Black Friday itself; treat these tent-pole events as customer acquisition and loyalty-building opportunities rather than expecting immediate profitability from the day's transactionsJoin the conversation on Chuck's LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chuckmoxley_black-friday-doesnt-mean-black-friday-anymore-activity-7396604576533078016-VpgN?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAACxCBJIBkJ2HEkFHwNUNKGOk_M2daoi5Md4 Want more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter! https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/Download the Five Step Site Speed Target Playbook: http://bluetriangle.com/playbookNick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladino Chuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuckmoxley/Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:00) Chuck's Kohl's experience(02:30) The LinkedIn post(03:15) Buying confidence still peaks on core days(04:15) Does stretching sales dilute the moment?(05:30) Consumer skepticism vs. actual buying behavior(06:00) The logistics advantage of month-long promotions(08:15) Nick's 100% Black Friday shopping strategy(11:30) Cyber Monday origins and evolution(14:15) Why Cyber Monday became the bigger online day(16:00) Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday deals(20:45) The shift from in-store chaos(22:15) Nick's Best Buy Black Friday war stories(23:35) Modern scarcity tactics(26:00) Black Friday origins(27:00) Conclusion

Kohl, Brokkoli, Rosenkohl oder Rucola – das klingt nach Hausmannskost, hat aber erstaunlich viel mit moderner Krebsprävention zu tun.

Warum zu viel Kohl ein Problem wurde. Und was passiert, wenn man Erdbeeren rausreißt, ohne an Platz für neue zu denken. Und warum es passiert, dass auch bei einer Boden-Liebhaberin der Kompost mal aus dem Ruder läuft. Über diese und andere Themen sprechen Katharina und Sabine in dieser Episode.

What if store cameras were one of retail's most underused growth assets? In this episode, Martin Bailie (Advisory Board, RETHINK Retail) sits down with Karissa Price, Chief Customer Officer at Dragonfruit AI, and Randy Meadows, Retail Advisor to Dragonfruit AI and former SVP of Asset Protection at Kohl's, to explore how video AI is transforming retail beyond loss prevention. Key takeaways: - Most retailers already have the infrastructure - the opportunity is how they use it - AI is changing the economics of video across stores and supply chain - Buy-in happens when multiple teams see shared ROI - The real shift is moving from passive footage to actionable decisions

From Disney Visa mailers and annual passholder calendars to Stitch-heavy gift guides, they dig into how Disney is trying to steer your holiday shopping. • Disney's “Home for the Holidays” Disney Rewards Insider issue and the surprise AP calendar reveal a full-court press of plush, Stitch, cruises, and watch-list marketing aimed at shaping your seasonal shopping. • Stitchmas dominates both online and in-park displays, with plush, pajamas, and matching family sets claiming a massive share of holiday floor space. • Disney Parks Blog releases multiple holiday gift guides spotlighting games, books, Frozen favorites, Zootopia tie-ins, and Lorcana must-haves for fans of all stripes. • While Disney pushes big-ticket items like the $399 LEGO castle, Jim and Lauren highlight personal picks including Dick Van Dyke's new book, Disney-branded Crocs, the Tokyo Disney Mickey gnome, and the classic monorail set. • Despite limited Cars Land holiday merch in the parks, Jim notes stronger Cars Christmas selections at Kohl's, Walmart, and BoxLunch, plus his near-purchase of Target's leftover 2021 Winter Series die-casts. • A listener tip confirms the red truck Mickey popcorn bucket sells out nightly at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, creating steep eBay markups. • Looking ahead, Zootopia 2's box office success is backed by a large retail program, while Pixar's Hoppers gets a lighter rollout as Disney gears up for major Toy Story 5 merchandising. • 2025's Toy Story and Tangled anniversary lines show mixed traction, as Jim previews everything from collector dolls to Woody's Clint Eastwood-inspired poncho look and recommends watching for Twice Upon a Year markdowns.

C dans l'air du 8 décembre 2025 - Trump lâche l'Europe, le Kremlin jubile...Sous pression américaine, Volodymyr Zelensky est reçu aujourd'hui à Londres par le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer, en présence du président Emmanuel Macron et du chancelier allemand Friedrich Merz. Objectif : faire le point et peser sur les négociations en cours en Floride entre les Ukrainiens et les Américains. Les discussions qui se déroulent aux États-Unis interviennent dans le cadre du plan américain visant à mettre fin à la guerre déclenchée voilà bientôt quatre ans par la Russie. Les Européens entendent peser sur les discussions depuis plusieurs semaines et éviter la rupture avec une administration américaine qui multiplie les gestes hostiles.Ainsi, les États-Unis ont dévoilé vendredi dernier leur nouvelle stratégie de sécurité nationale. Dans ce document de 33 pages, qui trace leurs priorités de politique étrangère, Washington est d'une violence inédite vis-à-vis des Européens. Cette nouvelle doctrine américaine salue la montée en puissance des « partis européens patriotiques » – situés à l'extrême droite de l'échiquier politique – et justifie son ingérence dans les affaires européennes au prétexte de la préservation de l'identité et des valeurs du Vieux Continent. Celui-ci est présenté comme menacé « d'un effacement civilisationnel », en raison notamment de l'immigration, de la « censure » de la liberté d'expression ou encore de l'« asphyxie réglementaire ».Le document stratégique, qui reprend finalement les propos énoncés à Munich en février 2025 par le vice-président américain J. D. Vance, marque un tournant historique amorcé depuis le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison-Blanche.Au sein de l'UE comme à Londres, les réactions se veulent mesurées pour ne pas creuser davantage un fossé de plus en plus béant. Berlin a ainsi réagi promptement via son ministre des Affaires étrangères, Johann Wadephul, estimant que l'Allemagne n'avait pas besoin de « conseils venant de l'extérieur », notamment sur « la liberté d'expression » ou « l'organisation des sociétés libres ».Mais les sujets de friction se multiplient : l'amende de 120 millions d'euros infligée par Bruxelles à X, le réseau social d'Elon Musk, pour manquement aux règles européennes, suscite la colère de Washington. Elon Musk lui-même a appelé dans un tweet au démantèlement de l'Union européenne. Il a également répondu « c'est à peu près ça » à un message d'une utilisatrice comparant l'UE à l'Allemagne nazie et la qualifiant de « quatrième Reich ». « Cela fait partie de la liberté d'expression que nous chérissons dans l'UE, et qui permet les déclarations les plus folles », a réagi la porte-parole de la Commission européenne, Paula Pinho.Nos experts :- Gallagher FENWICK - Journaliste, spécialiste des questions internationales, auteur de Volodymyr Zelensky : l'Ukraine dans le sang - Vincent HUGEUX - Journaliste indépendant, essayiste, spécialiste des enjeux internationaux- Pierre HASKI - Chroniqueur international - France Inter et Le Nouvel Obs- Laure MANDEVILLE - Grand reporter - Le Figaro, autrice de L'Ukraine se lève - Hélène KOHL ( en duplex) - Journaliste – Le Podkast

This week, Meredith and Cassandra chat about the winter inventions that helped us survive the cold - from the classic hand muff to heaters, ice scrapers, remote starts, and shovels. It's a quick, fun look at how these cold-weather creations came to be. omehow bed bugs made their way into the conversation, too. We give a shout-out to one of our #1 fans, Shannon, and Meredith love Lauren Conrad clothes at Kohl's.Info from this episode:

The latest edition of the retail industry's leading podcast features an in-depth conversation with Jason Buechel, CEO of Whole Foods Market and Vice President of Amazon Worldwide Grocery Stores, who shares Amazon's rapidly expanding grocery ambitions. Already surpassing $100 billion in gross sales, Amazon is leaning into grocery as a strategic category driven by frequency, loyalty, Prime stickiness, and the potential to unite all household purchasing into a seamless digital and physical ecosystem.Buechel explains how Amazon is transforming grocery shopping—a category in which consumers currently visit four to five retailers a month—into a single, unified experience. With more than 1,000 same-day grocery delivery locations today scaling to 2,300 cities, store-level innovations such as Whole Foods Daily Shop formats, and the integration of perishables directly into Amazon baskets alongside electronics or apparel, the company is erasing long-standing channel barriers. He also outlines the “one grocery” operational vision: unified supply chains, technology stacks, and customer journeys across banners, while preserving the brand trust and standards that Whole Foods customers demand.The episode opens with co-hosts Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc breaking down early holiday results. This year's hottest retail storyline, however, may be the sudden emergence of agentic AI. Tools such as Amazon's Rufus and ChatGPT are now influencing search and conversion decisions, helping fuel what the hosts dub “the most agentic Christmas yet.” With traffic gains from AI agents multiplying, the shift from traditional search to intelligent assistants is poised to accelerate dramatically in 2026.The discussion then turns to Kohl's, and the decision to name interim CEO Michael Bender to the permanent position. The hosts frame this as symptomatic of a deeper issue: a retailer with declining relevance in a shrinking total addressable market.On the heels of new quarterly earnings reports they also spotlight the theme of “profitless prosperity”—brands reporting modest sales improvements but sliding EBITDA as tariffs, promotions, and supply chain pressures erode margin—the overarching message: top-line growth is not victory unless gross profit dollars follow.The episode concludes with the remarkable rise of Google's AI game, and Sears inexplicably still operating a handful of stores (though likely not for much longer).

In this episode of FAIR Talks, Becca sits down with Kohl Crecelius, co-founder and CEO of KNOWN SUPPLY, to explore how a simple, handwritten signature has sparked a global movement to humanize the fashion industry. Kohl shares the origin story of KNOWN SUPPLY, why transparency is their superpower, and how celebrating the makers behind our clothes creates deeper connection, dignity, and accountability across the supply chain.

Conversely, substantial cohorts remain anxious about labor market conditions, evidenced by negative ADP private sector employment gains and college graduates facing difficulty securing positions. Positive retail indicators, notably Kohl's raising earnings guidance, provide counterbalancing economic optimism. 1885 Ohio River

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber drilled down on the AI trade: Alphabet on the cusp of hitting a $4 trillion market cap for the first time — with Meta shares also moving higher. The parent of Facebook is reportedly considering using Google AI chips in its data centers. Nvidia shares fell sharply on that report. Hear what Cramer said about selling the stock now. Also in focus: What Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC about the Fed, what's extending Oracle's stock slump, Kohl's soars as part of a retail earnings parade, reaction to September inflation and retail sales data released after being delayed due to the government shutdown.Squawk on the Street Disclaimer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Steve and Michael open this week's episode with a deep dive into the retail news of the week, marked by sharp contrasts in performance across the retail landscape. Walmart continues to separate itself from the pack, delivering another standout quarter, as omni-channel rival Target delivers another challenging quarter. The news segment analyses strong results from the off-price sector as TJX and Ross Stores both post impressive sales gains. The turnaround at Gap Inc. shows encouraging signs  under CEO Richard Dickson despite continued weakness at Athleta. In home improvement, both Home Depot and Lowe's see essentially flat comps as rate-locked consumers and affordability issues continue to weigh on spending. Furniture and home categories face rising tariff exposure, with Williams-Sonoma projecting its blended tariff rate jumping from 6% to 35%—a margin headwind that underscores industry-wide challenges. All told, the week's earnings reveal a retail landscape where the biggest players capture more share while many others struggle to keep pace.Steve and Michael revisit their encore interview with Artemis Patrick, President & CEO of Sephora North America—one of the most inspiring and resonant conversations in the show's archive. Artemis shares her extraordinary personal journey from immigrating from Iran and growing up in foster care to becoming one of the most influential leaders in global beauty.She details Sephora's global reach (34 markets, 3,000 stores), 700+ North American freestanding locations, a huge presence at Kohl's, and 40M+ Beauty Insider members, while unpacking the brand's unique power in incubating indie brands, championing diverse founders, and uniting physical and digital experiences long before Omni became a buzzword. Artemis also previews two transformational initiatives: a next-generation e-commerce platform enabling deeper personalization and a five-year renovation of every Sephora store—the largest capital project in the brand's history.After the interview the hosts each share their choice for buzziest story of the week before concluding with what's on their radar screens for the weeks ahead.

WHO DO YOU BLAMEAshley Buchanan: On May 1, 2025, Kohl's board terminated Buchanan “for cause” following an outside investigation overseen by its Audit Committee. The investigation found that Buchanan directed Kohl's to do business with a vendor founded by someone with whom he had a personal relationship. He also caused Kohl's to enter into a multimillion-dollar consulting agreement involving that same person. Crucially, he did not disclose this personal relationship, which was a violation of Kohl's code of ethics.Golden hello: $17m equity and $3.75m cashFormer director Christine Day: Shortly after Buchanan was fired, Day resigned, citing “lack of transparency” and governance concerns. Day said she was frustrated that not all board members were kept informed of risks and that decisions seemed centralized (“Michael ‘handles' everything … then ‘tells' everyone what the decision is”). Kohl's strongly disputed her characterization, saying her resignation was not “due to any disagreements” over operations or practices.Investors: chair Bender named interim CEO 4/30/25… AGM 5/14/2595% yes bender; 55% yes pay; 89% yes Prising; 92% average; new chair 91% John E.

This is the $99 Kumma bear made by FoloToy using OpenAI's service. OpenAI said it was suspending Folotoy for violations of usage of ChatGPT. WHO DO YOU BLAME?:Folotoy, who's founder and CEO Larry Wang calls himself “Chief Geek Officer” and has a background in child psychology and behavioral science… oh, wait, not, he has background in computer science and was founder of a tech telecomm company and was a software developer for insurance before that. But he's obviously qualified to do this: “Kumma, our adorable bear, combines advanced artificial intelligence with friendly, interactive features, making it the perfect friend for both kids and adults. From lively conversations to educational storytelling, FoloToy adapts to your personality and needs, bringing warmth, fun, and a little extra curiosity to your day.”OpenAI - obviously Sam Altman's commitment to “the benefit of humanity” stopped short of “sex advice from baby toys,” even though he says having kids of his own will help him not destroy humanity. I assume he's not getting Sammy Jr a Kumma bear? DROpenAI's board - obviously if they had fired Sam Altman, there wouldn't be sex bears using ChatGPT. But Helen Toner was forced out by the rest of the board, investors, and public pressure - she's since said, “But for years, Sam had made it really difficult for the board to actually do that job by withholding information, misrepresenting things that were happening at the company, in some cases outright lying to the board,” and that Altman gave them, “inaccurate information about the small number of formal safety processes that the company did have in place.” Perhaps Altman said, “no, that teddy bear didn't just say he loved oral sex, that's just a misinterpretation.”Microsoft - Satya, despite misgivings from Bill Gates, threw $10bn at OpenAI in January 2023. In November 2023, the board removed Sam Altman. Turns out Microsoft had released a version of ChatGPT in India that Altman sanctioned outside of safety protocols - the board should have signed off, but Altman lied to them and hid it. But rather than Microsoft pulling back the release and recognizing the damage it could do, they swooped in and “hired” Sam Altman 3 days after his firing. Their $10bn investment might have been the first cog in a sex bear wheel.I'm the Chief People Officer at Walmart. I always wake up to the same U2 song and watch the 'Today' show. That is Donna Morris listening to U2's “Beautiful Day”, the first thing she does is go online, she doesn't drink coffee but drinks Diet Coke (“I've just never been a hot drink type of girl, I guess. I try to limit myself to two Diet Cokes a day, although every once in a while, I sneak in a third.”), she likes buying cookbooks but doesn't use them. Not mentioned: Walmart's DEI rollback, the new CEO coming in, working for a family dictatorship, and any of her colleagues - as chief people officer, there are almost zero people mentioned. WHO DO WE BLAME FOR THIS EXISTING?Professional Conservative Snowflake Robby Starbuck - he claimed Walmart as his first “victory” after Trump's election in the DEI rollback. Post-Starbuck snowflake-ism, Morris might have had a job managing humans, but now her job is basically to send pink slips and make sure there aren't TOO many swastikas in the bathroom stall. A few is fine, but c'mon. So to pass the time, Morris is stuck giving interviews to Business Insider.Business Insider, who must have known Morris had the potential to give an insipid review of her day when this was her excuse for Walmart's DEI rollback: "When you talk about diversity, equity, inclusion, all in part, there can be communities, and often the largest communities, that step back and say, 'Geez, I'm not sure if I'm even actually included'," Morris explained of the decision. Which echoes… ROBBY FUCKING STARBUCK, who said to anyone who would listen: "This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America. This won't just have a massive effect for their employees who will have a neutral workplace without feeling that divisive issues are being injected but it will also extend to their many suppliers."Donna Morris, because as only we covered here when discussing the corporate move to blame the employees for every problem and getting fired, had this to say of her biggest red flag on an employee: “Nobody wants [to hire] a Debbie Downer. [Someone who is] constantly negative. You know they're going to show up [and] they're going to bring the problem, never the solution.” Literally, the JOB of HR is to field COMPLAINTS from employees about how their managers treat them - or is it too Debbie Downer to complain about racial discrimination of employees?Walmart's board - they must have signed off on Morris getting hired, right? Or a Walton? Someone somewhere thought this was a good idea? Take your pick:CFO of OpenAI Sarah Friar (who said OpenAI would need a government backstop, then clarified)Brian Niccol, the CEO of Starbucks who was given a golden hello, a golden parachute, and probably a golden shower, who just named to a “worst CEO” listThe current AND former CEO of WalmartSteuart Walton, who couldn't bother to even be named “Stuart” (he had to spell it with an extra “E”) with a claim to fame of marrying a Baywatch reboot actress, and Greg Penner, the son-in-law of a different Walton and snuck his way onto the board AND as co-owner of the Denver BroncosTom Horton, retired American Airlines CEO who was CFO of American for years right before they declared bankruptcy, but somehow is remembered for “restructuring” them instead of bankrupting them?Marissa Mayer - yes, that Mayer, formerly of YahooNot one, but TWO different consultantsRandall Stephenson, ex AT&T CEO, who, if I'm honest, seems to have actual integrity and I'm not sure why he's here, plus two DEI directors (because they're not white, so probably not qualified)

Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) said it will shutter some of its Foot Locker stores after the company completed its acquisition many on Wall Street disagreed with. As for Kohl's (KSS), Diane talks about what's driving an eye-watering 30% rally. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, co-host Telis Demos and guest host Hannah Erin Lang discuss the volatility of the AI trade and how Nvidia's earnings report at least somewhat helped restore investors' faith. They analyze new signals from retailers, including those who recently reported earnings, such as Target and Walmart, about the K-shaped U.S. consumer economy and the uneven spending patterns heading into the crucial Black Friday and holiday season. The hosts also note that the recent market choppiness, which saw gold and bitcoin fall, highlights the impact of the AI trade on the broader market. Upcoming earnings from companies like Dell Technologies, which has talked about AI as a driver, and consumer-staples companies and retailers, including J.M. Smucker, Kohl's and Abercrombie & Fitch, will provide further reads on both AI and the health of the consumer. After the break, Telis talks with Luca Paolini, chief strategist at Pictet Asset Management, to discuss why U.S. investors should diversify their investment portfolios outside of their home market. They explore Pictet's theory of the “great convergence,” where non-U.S. economies like Germany, Japan and Latin American markets are expected to close the growth gap with the U.S. Paolini makes the case for why the dollar's strength is fading, a key part of the dollar debasement trade, and why the outperformance of the MSCI World Index excluding the U.S. highlights the need for a long-term diversification strategy. He also outlines specific investment opportunities in alternative assets and foreign markets. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Gunjan Banerji, lead writer for Live Markets, and Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

In this episode, we dive into Romans 1:16–17 and confront a tension every believer feels: What happens when the world you step into makes you question who you are? From wearing a “golf fit” from Kohl's to trying to code-switch your faith to fit the crowd, shame quietly pressures us to adjust what God has already settled. But Paul reminds us—the gospel is not something we shrink back from. It is the power of God that saves, strengthens, and reshapes us from the inside out.We explore how salvation gives confidence—not the kind you take, but the kind you receive through perseverance. We walk “The Way,” a road marked by God's righteousness, not cultural Christianity or customizable beliefs. In a world where 69% claim Christianity yet only 6% live from a biblical worldview, this conversation calls us back to Scripture, back to conviction, and back to the power we were baptized into.This message exposes the idols of our age—ideas, not statues—and challenges the temptation to modify our faith to match the moment. When shame pushes you off the road and doubt creeps in, how do you hold fast? How do you live by faith, not just claim it?If you've ever wondered whether you fit, whether you're enough, or whether your faith still stands in a culture of compromise, this episode reminds you: the righteous will live by faith—and the faithful hold fast even when the masses don't.

Zippy Duvall, President of the American Farm Bureau Federation, says passing the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids act would be a real shot in the arm for the dairy industry and kids' nutrition. Duvall says the act would overturn restrictions that USDA has in place allowing only fat-free and 1% lowfat milk in schools. Duvall says with record milk production on pace for 2025, it would not only help with fluid milk production - it would also help with child nutrition.While the Whole Milk act is a federal matter, there are still plenty of policy directives moving in Madison. Stephanie Hoff finds out about a few from Chad Zuelger, executive director of the Dairy Business Association.

Send us a textHow hunger, hormones, and brain wiring make animals switch between parenting and aggression.Episode Summary: Dr. Johannes Kohl explains instinctive behaviors in mice, focusing on how hunger and estrous cycle hormones interact in the hypothalamus to toggle between parental care and pup-directed aggression in virgin females; he also details how pregnancy hormones rewire the medial preoptic area for robust maternal behavior before birth, revealing multi-timescale neural integration of internal states.About the guest: Jonny Kohl, PhD is a group leader at the Francis Crick Institute in London, heading the State-Dependent Neural Processing Lab.Discussion Points:Instincts are pre-wired, robust yet modifiable by experience and states like hunger.AGRP “hunger neurons” in the hypothalamus regulate hunger state and respond to environmental cues related to food.Hunger regulates parental care neurons in medial preoptic area (MPOA) via inhibitory peptides.Estrous cycle (4-5 days) in mice comes with fluctuations in estradiol & progesterone; their ratio, not absolute levels, gates aggression probability.Hormone ratio sensed in MPOA neurons via nuclear receptors altering gene expression of HCN ion channels, changing excitability.Pregnancy (20 days) boosts parental circuits in MPOA via hormone surges before pregnancy ends, enabling instant care at birth.Hormone fluctuations enable adult brain plasticity.Humans disrupt natural cycles (e.g., hormonal contraceptives, GLP-1 drugs) that have broad, poorly understood brain effects.Reference Paper:Study: Integration of hunger and hormonal state gates infant-directed aggressionRelated Episode:M&M 89: Neuroscience of Aggression, Sex, Behavior, Hormones, Emotion & Consciousness | David Anderson*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

The Fat One is back with a report on his day in Fat Acres which included a trip to Shady Pine, the Dancin' quiz program, adjusting to Standard Time, and trips to the KohlÆs, Costco and the Von's East. Happy National Nachos Day.

The Greatest Inheritance. We know that when we die, we can't take it with us. Thus, the inheritance was invented. When my mother died, I got an inheritance: A pillow. Two years before, I was in Kohl’s department store. It was buy-one-get-one-free Monday. That means you pay a ridiculously high price for an item, and you...

Sound familiar?Anyone who empowered the board to not be empowered when they tried to fire Sam Altman for such reasons as:Conflicts over OpenAI's rapid growth and direction, especially the tension between aggressive AI deployment vs. safety oversight.Power dynamics between Altman, key researchers, and board members — some may have felt he had too much unilateral control.The college that let Sam Altman drop outSammy Altman Citi's Jane Fraser consolidates power with board chair vote — and a $25 million-plus bonus to boot.

If there had been a way of delivering voting rights that didn't necessarily deliver dollars, that would have been an interesting proposition.”Any two of these basically redundant techbro companies' market caps would sufficeNvidia ~$4.2 trillion Microsoft ~$3.8 trillion Apple ~$3.1 trillion Amazon ~$2.4 trillion Alphabet ~$2.2 trillion Meta Platforms ~$1.8 trillion Broadcom ~$1.3 trillion Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company ~$1.2 trillionBill Ackman. Because he's a douche.MATTTarget is eliminating 1,800 roles as new CEO Michael Fiddelke gets set to take over the struggling retailer - WHO DO YOU BLAME?Current CEO Brian Cornell, who's “stepping down” to the role of Executive Chair - which is basically still CEO, just on the board and doesn't have to talk to employees anymore, so he can eliminate 1800 jobs and then fade away into a multimillion dollar unaccountable board roleFuture CEO Michael Fiddelke, who starts February 1, 2026, but is current COO and was forced to send the memo to employees telling them 8% of the workforce will be cutMonica Lozano, chair of the compensation and human capital management committee of the board, who's also on the BofA and Apple boards and is the most connected board member at a highly connected board - does the chair of the human capital committee have to weigh in on firing?OpenAI - the memo makes zero mention of the fact that part of Target's problem is that it shit on gays and blacks because of a feckless internet toad named Robby Starbuck, but feels very written by AI which would account for phrases like:“Adjusting our structure is one part of the work ahead of us. It will also require new behaviors and sharper priorities that strengthen our retail leadership in style and design and enable faster execution so we can: Lead with merchandising authority; Elevate the guest experience with every interaction; and Accelerate technology to enable our team and delight our guests.”Does anyone know what that word salad actually means? Doesn't it just mean “you're fired because we basically sucked at our jobs”?Hormel recalls 4.9M pounds of chicken possibly 'contaminated with pieces of metal' - WHO DO YOU BLAME?The audit committee, the closest committee responsible for enterprise risk (ie, metal in chicken) - Stephen M. Lacy, William A. Newlands (also lead director), Debbra L. Schoneman, Sally J. Smith (chair), Steven A. White, Michael P. ZechmeisterThe governance committee - James Snee, the now retired CEO who retired somehow in January but the company still hasn't found a permanent replacement 9 months later - so they're being run by Jeff Ettinger, interim CEO? Chair Gary C. Bhojwani, Elsa A. Murano, Ph.D., William A. Newlands (also lead director), Debbra L. Schoneman, Steven A. WhiteThe one black guy on the board - Steve White - who works at Comcast, is somehow qualified to be on Hormel board, and is on BOTH the audit committee AND governance committeeThe conveyor belt that spit pieces of metal as large as 17mm long into “fire braised chicken” sent to hotels and restaurantsCervoMed appoints McKinsey veteran David Quigley to board of directors - WHO DO YOU BLAME? Board is 2 VCs, a longtime biotech CFO, and five MD/PhDs. And among those 8, there are just two woman - the co-founder/wife of the CEO and a VC. And when they did their search, they could only find a longtime professional opinion haver - a consultant from the big three?Nominating committee for lack of imaginationEx or current McKinsey, Bain, and BCG employed directors - the opinion industrial complex - make up a whopping 4% of ALL US DIRECTORSAmong boards with MULTIPLE ex opinion directors: Kohl's is 25% consultantStarbucks is 27% consultantDisney is 30% consultantsWilliams-Sonoma is 38% consultantCBRE is 40% consultant!Nominating committee chair Jane Hollingsworth, for not looking around the room and saying, “hey dudes, can we add, like, maybe, ONE other lady?”Co founders Sylvie Gregoire and John Alam (also CEO) who own 17.3% of voting power - add in Josh Boger, board chair and 12.3% voter, and you basically have the CEO daddy and his buddy Josh with 29.6% of voting controlSylvie and John's bios, which neglect to mention they're married to one anotherWe are all terrified of the future - which headline is worse for your terror? WHO DO YOU BLAME?The world is about $4.5 trillion short of securing a sustainable food supply for the future, global food and ag business CEO saysBill Gates Says Climate Change ‘Will Not Lead to Humanity's Demise' - ostensibly because billionaires in bunkers will, in fact, survive on cans of metal-filled Hormel chili.Sorry, Yoda. Mentors are going out of styleMan Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His HouseJennifer Garner's baby food company is going public on the NYSE — should investors be putting their eggs in this basket?Woman Repeatedly Warned by Canadian Exchange Not to Transfer Crypto, Gets Scammed AnywayOpenAI completes restructure, solidifying Microsoft as a major shareholder - MSFT owns 27%, the non profit which controlled the company “for the benefit of humanity” now will only control it for 26% of humanity?Tesla risks losing CEO Musk if $1 trillion pay package isn't approved, board chair says - IF MUSK LEAVES, WHO DO YOU BLAME?Robyn Denholm, board chair, whose job it is to manage Musk, but does it like an overwhelmed permissive mother who parents with chocolate and Teletubbies when the kid has a tantrumKimbal Musk - I was told by a bunch of directors and institutional investors at a conference, no joke, that Kimbal was still on the board (ie, not voted out) to control his brother's ketamine intake and crazy episodes. So if he throws a tantrum and leaves, isn't it bro's fault? This is a binary trade - Musk gets extra pay/control, stock goes up and isn't de-meme'd. Musk doesn't, he leaves and the stock is de-meme'd and drops arguably by 66% or more to be more like a car company with some tech. So do we blame investors, no matter what they do? They meme'd the stock in the first place, he couldn't get a trillion extra dollars if they hadn't pumped up the stock - and now they could vote with humanity (no pay) or meme capitalism (pay)!Techbro middle school conservatism - is this Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan's fault? A Yale economist paper suggests that Musk's politics cost between 1 and 1.26 million Tesla car sales… Would we even be worried if Musk stayed out of politics? Wouldn't the market have just paid him whatever?Pop quiz: which directors stay on the board if Musk leaves in a tantrum?Jeffrey StraubelKimbal MuskRobyn DenholmJames MurdochKathleen Wilson-ThompsonIra EhrenpreisJack HartungJoe Gebbia
