Data company Astronomer said Saturday that its CEO has resigned, days after a “kiss cam” at a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts showed a man and a woman embracing each other before running off and becoming one of the most viral moments of the year.The New York-based tech company said in a statement on X that its CEO Andy Byron “tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.”Byron was identified by online users as the man in the viral video, with users claiming that he is a married man. However, NBC News has not independently confirmed this or identified the woman.“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding,” the company said. “Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.”The company added that it will begin a search for its next chief executive, while its co-founder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy will service as its interim CEO.Byron did not immediately respond to a request for comment and has not responded to previous inquiries.The debacle began on Wednesday at a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough when a “kiss cam” displayed couples in the audience.When the camera landed on a blond woman and a silver-haired man — later believed by social media users to be Byron — the woman covered her face and the man ducked out of the frame.Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, appeared to poke fun at the awkward moment.“Oh, look at these two. You’re all right,” he said, according to video footage from the concert that circulated widely online. “You’re OK. Oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”The moment went viral online, with videos of the encounter accruing millions of views across X, Instagram and TikTok, and spawning thousands of memes.On Friday, Astronomer spoke out for the first time since the viral moment, saying in a statement that Byron was placed on leave.The little-known company, which has under 500 employees according to its LinkedIn profile, appeared to address how the fanfare around the “kiss cam” incident has affected its reputation in its Saturday statement.“While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not,” the company said.

Dubbed 2015 OU194, the Centaur in question differs from others of its type, which often have chaotic orbits, because of its uniquely stable rotation around the Sun. Specifically, [...]

China Might Not Want Russia To Lose, But It Might Not Want Russia To Win Either Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,A Russian loss would be catastrophic for China’s security, while a Russian victory could end the discounted energy bonanza that’s helping it maintain its economic growth amidst the slowdown, not to mention accelerate the US’ “Pivot (back) to (East) Asia” for more muscularly containing it.The South China Morning Post (SCMP) cited unnamed sources to report that Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his EU counterpart that China doesn’t want Russia to lose in Ukraine because the US’ whole focus might then shift to China. His alleged remarks were spun by the Mainstream Media as an admission that China isn’t as neutral as it claims, just as they and their Alt-Media rivals suspected. Both now believe that China will help Russia win, as in obtain its maximum goals, but that’s likely not the case.Assuming for the sake of argument that Wang did indeed say what was attributed to him, it would align with the assessment around the conflict’s one-year anniversary in February 2023 that “China Doesn’t Want Anyone To Win In Ukraine”. The SCMP channeled the gist of the preceding analysis by writing that “One interpretation of Wang’s statement in Brussels is that while China did not ask for the war, its prolongation may suit Beijing’s strategic needs, so long as the US remains engaged in Ukraine.”To explain, not only would the US be unable to “Pivot (back) to (East) Asia” for more muscularly containing China at the scale that Trump envisages if the Ukrainian Conflict drags on, but the continued pressure placed upon the Russian economy by Western sanctions would benefit the Chinese economy. China already imports a staggering amount of discounted Russian oil, which helps maintain its economic growth amidst the slowdown that it’s experiencing, but this could end if sanctions were curtailed.Additionally, the greater that China’s role becomes in serving as a valve for Russia from Western sanctions pressure (both in terms of energy imports for helping to finance the Russian budget but also exports that replace lost Western products), the more dependent Russia will become on China. The increasingly lopsided nature of their economic relations could then be leveraged to clinch the most preferential long-term energy deals possible as regards the Power of Siberia II and other pipelines.These outcomes could restore China’s superpower trajectory that was derailed during the first six months of the special operation as explained here at the time, thus strengthening its overall resilience to US pressure and therefore making it less likely that the US can coerce a series of lopsided deals from it. It’s for this reason that Trump’s Special Envoy to Russia Steve Witkoff is reportedly pushing for the US to lift its energy sanctions on Russia in order to deprive China of these financial and strategic benefits.The nascent Russian-US “New Détente” could restore the Kremlin’s energy clientele as a first step via phased sanctions relief, thus expanding its range of partners to preemptively avert the aforementioned Russian dependence on China, especially in the event of joint energy cooperation in the Arctic. The purpose, as explained here in early January, would be to deprive China of decades-long access to ultra-cheap resources for fueling its superpower rise at the US’ expense.All in all, a Russian victory (whether in full or in part via compromises) could end the discounted energy bonanza that’s helping China maintain its economic growth amidst the slowdown, ergo why Beijing won’t send military aid or troops to facilitate this (apart from also fearing serious Western sanctions).Likewise, the scenario of the West inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia would be catastrophic for China’s security, ergo another reason for the aforesaid imports in order to help Russia maintain its war economy.

Shifting consumption habits among young coffee drinkers has Nescafe targeting new product lines. The Nestle-owned brand sees cold coffee as a way of opening up new consumers and consumption opportunities. Nestle has lagged major rivals over recent years, as it built its portfolio out across broad category ranges. ORBE, Switzerland — For almost a century, a nondescript factory in an unsuspecting town beneath the Swiss mountains has played host to some of the most widely consumed coffee trends brewed up by caffeine giant Nescafe.From the 1938 launch of its flagship soluble powdered coffee to freeze-dried granules and later coffee capsules, the Nestle-owned household brand is now targeting its latest iteration for the next generation of coffee drinkers.“We have to develop solutions specifically to bring young people into the Nescafe brand,” Don Howat, global category lead for Nescafe at Nestle, told CNBC.For Nescafe, that means targeting the ballooning cold coffee market. Today, one-third (32%) of coffee consumed out-of-home is iced, according to company compiled estimates. For many younger consumers, namely Gen Z, it’s often their first introduction to the ubiquitous drink.“Nescafe’s heartland is really in the morning, drunk hot,” Howat continued. “We’re trying to move into a space which is throughout the day — more in the afternoon, consumed cold, retargeting that younger generation.”“That provides a super exciting growth opportunity for Nescafe.”Targeting Gen-ZCoffee is a big bet for Nestle, with Nescafe and sister brand Nespresso accounting for two of the company’s six key priorities for 2025.It represents a return to the core for the world’s largest food and beverage company, whose main lines include coffee, pet care and food under popular brands such as Nespresso, Purina and KitKat.Nestle’s stock has lagged major rivals such as Unilever and Danone over recent years amid weaker sales growth and revised guidance, even as the sector at large has come under pressure from higher commodity prices and increased private label competition.CEO Laurent Freixe, who took the helm in September, has vowed to refocus the business, saying a slew of acquisitions under his predecessor had “weakened the fabric” of the company.“We want fewer, bigger, better innovations. We want breakthrough and impact,” Freixe told a media event earlier this month, citing coffee as one of the categories with the highest rate of “clear-cut” wins.The firm’s latest gambit, Nescafe Espresso Concentrate, nevertheless marks a new approach to product development — one it plans to extend to other categories. The cold liquid concentrate, which can be used as a base for chilled caffeine drinks, was developed in a research and development (R&D) accelerator and trialed in U.S. Kroger stores before its ultimate sign off.It is one in a stream of cold coffee products to flood the market lately, however the majority have been in the pre-mixed, ready to drink (RTD) space. Nestle says its goal is customization, with the concentrate designed to let consumers “hack” their coffee at home according to their preferences, for instance by adding milk, water, lemonade or other beverages.“Most young people have grown up with coffee cold ... their expectation is for cold coffee, lots of flavors, textures, additions,” Howat said.Launched in Australia in late 2024, the product has since expanded to the U.S., U.K., Canada, Japan, China and Singapore with plans for further markets underway. Meanwhile a collaboration with influencer Zach King is seen marketing the product at social media users.“It’s achieving what we set out to achieve,” Howat said. “It just takes the brand into a different space.”An alcohol alternativeThe coffee giant is now hoping that by targeting new consumers and consumption habits, it could pave the way for further expansion into adjacent categories.That includes penetrating traditional tea markets like India, China and Japan, building out customization and premiumization, and targeting new consumption occasions.“What’s interesting about younger consumers is they’re drinking a lot less alcohol,” Howat said.Successive studies have pointed to lower alcohol consumption habits among Gen Z compared to previous generations, sparking a surge in non-alcoholic and health and wellness-oriented alternatives. July research from an ISWR survey sought to debunk that narrative, however, citing the cost-of-living crisis as a source of the perceived abstinence trend.Nescafe nevertheless said it sees new scope to position coffee as an all-day product and sophisticated alcohol alternative.“When they socialize in the evening with their friends, they’d like to drink something which is adult but perhaps doesn’t have alcohol,” he continued.“That provides an opportunity for Nescafe to get into that space, perhaps with decaffeinated products, with cold products, indulgent products,” he said.

Pepsi Exec Floats Switch To Sugar After Trump Coca-Cola Announcement PepsiCo’s top executive indicated on July 17 that the company may switch Pepsi’s sweetener from high-fructose corn syrup to sugar, one day after President Donald Trump said Coca-Cola would soon be making the change.“Same journey that we have in foods, we’re following in beverages. This is a consumer-centric strategy. We’re following the consumer,” Ramon Laguarta, PepsiCo’s CEO, told investors on a call after being asked about Trump’s announcement.“If the consumer is telling us that they prefer products that have sugar and they prefer products that have natural ingredients, we will give the consumer products that have sugar and have natural ingredients. So, this is a journey of following the consumer, trying to be a little bit maybe one step ahead of the consumer, but not too many steps. And it applies to both beverages and food.”As Jasper Fakkert reports for The Epoch Times, Trump said on Wednesday that he had been discussing with Coca-Cola the possibility of switching Coke’s sweetener to cane sugar in the United States, “and they have agreed to do so,” he said.A Coca-Cola spokesperson told The Epoch Times that the company appreciates Trump’s enthusiasm for its brand and promised to soon share “more details on new innovative offerings within our Coca‐Cola product range.”Some Coca-Cola products feature cane sugar, although most Coke sold in the United States is made with corn syrup. Both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo updated their soda formulas in the 1980s to use corn syrup instead of sugar.Laguarta’s announcement came during a call in which executives said that PepsiCo will relaunch its Lay’s and Tostitos brands later this year to highlight that they contain no artificial colors or flavors.“We’re trying to elevate the real food perception of Lay’s. If you think about the simplest and most natural snack, it is a potato chip; it’s a potato, it’s oil, and it’s a little bit of salt—the most simple, no artificial ingredients,” Laguarta said.The company also said it was expanding the use of avocado and olive oil across its brands, rather than the canola or soybean oil it uses. Some health influencers, including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have promoted removing seed oils from food.PepsiCo officials had announced in April that they were quickening the company’s transition to natural colors, in the wake of the Food and Drug Administration’s banning of two artificial dyes. Lays and Tostitos will not contain artificial colors by the end of 2025, he said at the time.PepsiCo already offers Lays and Doritos without artificial colors or flavors under its Simply segment.“The Simply line extension for existing chip brands is still in early innings,“ F/m Investments senior portfolio manager Christian Greiner said. ”Consumers have not engaged so far, and given that, it will be seen how consumers react to a rebranding of Lays and Tostitos over the next couple of quarters.” Tyler DurdenFri, 07/18/2025 - 22:10
