Those words, from a Senior Director of Product Design, brought to mind an old Aesop fable. A father is trying to get his sons to stop arguing, so he hands them a bundle of sticks and asks them to break it. They try, but they can't.

Back in 2017, P&G chief brand officer Marc Pritchard famously described the media supply chain as, "murky at best, and fraudulent at worst".

While California produces the lion's share of American wine, Oregon is still considered a leader in the domestic industry, ranking fourth nationally for wine production by volume.
The English language is a marvelous thing. In just the past few years, we've been treated to the invention of words or terms that have captured new technologies or given voice to how it feels to be alive in 2026: rage bait, rizz, slop, hard pants, nepo baby, brain rot.
