Opens the piece. A Thousand Words for Red · 3,001 shades A Thousand Words for Red A Thousand Words for Red — Lip makeup uses a sixth of the colour wheel. Brands sell the same colour and reach for unrelated words. Opens the piece. Brandtheon · 131 gods Brandtheon The Gods Got Trademarked — The gods of power and knowing carry the biggest companies. Nobody names a large firm after Misery, Doom or Old Age. Opens the piece.

Opens the piece. Commodities · 3,360 monthly prices Commodities The Five Prices Rarely Move Together — Crude oil, gold, gas, copper and wheat, 1970–2026.
