“Nestle says slavery reporting requirements could cost customers.”
Not to be a joyless communist, but if we can’t have chocolate without slavery, we shouldn’t have chocolate.

Nestle says slavery reporting requirements could cost customers
Australia's government has proposed to make it mandatory for big businesses to report on how they're combating modern slavery.Emily Baker (The Sydney Morning Herald)
@veronica @GreatBigTable Yeah, regulators have been completely unconsciously asleep, allowing Nestlé, Pepsico, General Mills, Unilever, Kellogg’s, Danone, ABF, MARS and Mondeléz to grow into these enormous, grotesque beasts. It’s impossible to boycott all of them.

#introduction post:
I was trained as a systems biologist, running an empirical research group working on the evolution of gene regulatory networks in Barcelona up until 2015.
I then turned to more philosophical questions, especially the role of organismic agency in evolution, and its relation to "artificial intelligence," which should instead be called "algorithmic mimicry."
Today, I'm trying to build a new metamodern science for the coming post-abundance age.
A post I made on FB about my favorite animals led to a whole lot of people realizing that pink fairy armadillos are an actual thing, and it is delightful to watch 😆
I guess I'm now spreading the gospel of the pink fairy armadillo. They are real, y'all.

I enjoy watching the mix of athletes from different countries at the US Open, and I also admire the fact that the tournament is celebrating 50 years of equal pay. That said, the branding has gotten a bit out of control.
