"We pledge that we do not conduct, contract out, or fund animal tests in the developing, manufacturing, testing, or marketing of our products." I would hope that there's at least a visual check that the cow/chicken/rabbit that's going into the food is dead before it gets processed.

Dvorak Oct 2021 1:31am, 8 Oct 2021 23,615 posts	0 Dvorak Not so much meaningless as just wrong on every possible level. "What do you get when you mix a homeware brand born out of British rave culture with a Mancunian record label that discovered Joy Division? A Selfridges’ exclusive, of course. Factory Records x SoftCore dreams up an eclectic line of eccentric furnishings, like this throw, that turns your house into a rockstar’s paradise. Crafted to a double-sided finish, it’s printed with the iconic Closer album artwork and super soft to the touch." £380. There's a whole lot more. Cushion £100. Candle £45. Sweatshirt £580. selfridges.com

Fragile Do Not Bend Oct 2021 4:07pm, 13 Oct 2021 8,806 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend ENERGYDOTS ARE WELL-BEING PRODUCTS FOR YOU TO WEAR AND PLACE AROUND THE HOME. STUDIES SHOW STRESS REDUCING, ENERGISING & RELAXING EFFECTS. Each DOT has a magnetic structure which is digitally programmed with an intelligent combination of natural fields designed to support your wellbeing. Magnets have been used as storage devices for decades – bank cards, video tapes, a computer hard drive are all examples of magnetic storage. Each DOT stores and radiates particular fields of information. It is the nature of the information that does the work and creates positive change. The combination of natural fields encoded onto each type of DOT is different. For example the information on a bioDOT is different to the information on an aquaDOT. We use a proprietary digital platform called Programmed Harmonic Interface Technology (P.H.I.T) to encode information onto each DOT.
