So I've heard a couple of times about writers for The Economists being college interns and in a recent 
ep (195) the guest referred to them all being 19. I was wondering if there's any actual documentation on that, or is it just vibes based?

I just noticed the typo. I'm keeping it.
Hint
They are very, very tiny.
Spoiler
They are insect eggs.
It's so cool how stick insect eggs look like little clay pots and have so much variety.
It's a neat thread so here's an archive.today page of a Nitter instance - archive.today.

Photo caption...
Photographer Levon Biss specializes in tiny objects in order to make “the invisible visible.” He spent hours cleaning these phasmid eggs with distilled water and one paintbrush hair under a microscope. The eggs in this composite grid of images average about 0.12 inch long.
They remind me of netsuke.
A netsuke (根付, [netsɯ̥ke]) is a miniature sculpture, originating in 17th century Japan. Initially a simply-carved button fastener on the cords of an inrō box, netsuke later developed into ornately sculpted objects of craftsmanship.
Documentaries are especially welcome. Short videos (even youtube) too. Think of it more as a... tankie youtube.
I'll start:
There's this article I found and this other one that does go into some interesting cases etc., but I'm looking for something that actually goes into more details about how it actually works. Like a book or a good explainer? Or maybe one of y'all more knowledgeable comrades can make a good effortpost or something 
. Thanks.
I have a general feeling that they're bad (the org, not the individual children lmao) but am fuzzy on the details of why. It's generally agreed among leftists that it's child labor right? And that they love teaching little kids that capitalism = cool and good. I've got a niece in girl scouts and I'd just like some more concrete examples and reasons not to support them so that my family understands that I'm not just being cheap... although yeah ok I admit it the shrinkflation over the years is one of the reasons I don't give them money, fine.
Or uuuuuh if you think they're good actually then explain for the class pls. Make me feel bad about buying knockoff treats for a third of the price and then not donating the difference.

on a daily basis, the quote of Donald Trump saying 
"Israel has hypnotized the world! May Allah awaken the people and help them to see the evil doings of Israel and the United States" goes through my head. What quote is stuck in yours?
