@Depl0rableSc0ut @ebottcher Yeah this is during the winter. It’s going to be much worse as these policies go into effect and the weather warms.

Great @Groceryshop pod with @OmniTalk. 3 takeaways:

- Tech & market shift pace obliterates 5 yr planning cycles

- store is center of all opportunities including eCommerce, retail media, etc

- Agentic AI turning real fast. Automate anything you run >3x

TikTok And TikTok Shop are having big influences on snacking trends. @groceryshopevent

Does your consumer insights platform use TikTok data more than hashtags?

I-Genie transcribes TikTok so you understand the market landscape and better predict trends.

@MParrika @Jason @theallinpod I actually think they provide a more thoughtful defense of ideas that are often dismissed as extreme and whack-a-doodle in small snippets. I Like that.

I think a balanced critique is still missing and requires a strong counter voice that is hard if your role is moderator.

[Trevor Sumner @trevorsumner]

@Jason I’ve struggled with the hyper partisan devolution of the @theallinpod and thought that it’s hard for you both to be a moderator and the counter voice from moderate left. I thought you did a nice job with the FTC Kimmel conversation, keeping tethered to the facts.

[Trevor Sumner @trevorsumner]

@realKeithCondon @Jason @theallinpod I agree the left has gone left. And the right has gone somewhere (not quite traditional right but extreme). The level of constructive criticism is not fairly balanced in my humble opinion and my guy is it’s in part to maintain relationships (Trump, Elon). ⚖️

[Trevor Sumner @trevorsumner]

@TonyB348 @Jason @theallinpod There is awful ideology forcing a lot of us to reject Democrat platforms. 👍

Theres also a lot of awful policy on the right which are treated with kids gloves on the pod like this FTC issue. It could be Trump coin grift, vast increase in deficits, obvious DOGE bungling, etc. ⚖️

@McKinsey It will be incredible when consumer products have access to better market research data, in near real-time, with ad hoc querying creating researcher worthy reports.

We are working on that future at https://t.co/HVWtsKHpUV.

If you aren’t betting on this skincare trend, you’re nuts!

https://t.co/HVWtsKHpUV spots consumer trends 6 months earlier than social listening by incorporating search, social and new product launches.

See how you can stay ahead of the competition.

[Trevor Sumner @trevorsumner]

. @theallinpod still mired down with partisan lenses. You can agree equity is better than grants for Intel while also saying it’s unacceptable to bully CEO and change the deal AFTER the fact vs go forward. @Jason is outgunned as a voice even when he brings facts to discussion.

Man Non-alcoholic beverage prices are out of control. NA sparkling wine over $30/bottle. Martinellis should release a grand cru. They would clean up.

[Trevor Sumner @trevorsumner]

NYPost quoted me. Convicted of murder. 4 drug dealing arrests in 2 months & @ManhattanDA keeps releasing them without bail when caught dealing heroin & crack. 2 different murderers!! Is it any wonder @nypd throws their hands in the air. Vote them all out. https://t.co/xXEY2XBTvV

OMG. Not only was the kid not starving (but suffering from cystic fibrosis) Israel facilitated his transfer to Italy for treatment before the photo.

It’s the exact opposite of what @nytimes reported. He is an example of compassion.

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

This is what a modern blood libel looks like:

A sick child. A hijacked photo. A lie that spreads faster than truth.

His name is Osama al-Raqab. He has cystic fibrosis, a serious genetic illness.

He’s been in Italy receiving treatment since June 12. Israel enabled his medical transfer from Gaza.

But that didn’t stop media outlets from weaponizing his image NOT to tell his story, but in order to smear Israel.

Because when it comes to Israel, facts are optional.

Hate always finds a headline.

@ViralNewsNYC Every day event in west village. We are threatened constantly and with the concentration of drug addicted and mentally ill, we know each threat is a roll of the dice into something potentially more violent like this. Where are you @NYCMayor ?

Democrats are about to find out that there is actually a secret cabal of pedophiles running the government.

Get ready for the political chaos.

[Trevor Sumner @trevorsumner]

We are all about to admit the other side was right all along on its what we thought was their extreme conspiracy theory.

Republicans are beginning to understand that Trump is likely to be a liar, con and child rapist;
