Conde Nast's Best Cities in U.S. 2021 Readers Choice

Hide the finery and break out the smiles, more tourists will be coming in this fairly glowing review from Conde Nast:

"Want to get in on a secret? Plan a trip to Greenville now and you might see it just on the cusp of stardom. The food lover’s town has a farm-to-table scene that continues to rise in the ranks (try Jianna for Italian and freshly shucked oysters, and Vault & Vator, the city's first speakeasy, for a strong, well-crafted cocktail), and its craft beer scene is seeing a similar explosion. Paired with its dynamic urban spaces are abundant natural resources, including 32-acre Falls Park, which runs through the middle of town, and the Swamp Rabbit bike trail—now at a whopping 22 miles and counting."

You've probably seen this on CNN, Buzzfeed, and numerous other spots on the internet. I've seen it several times and it always particularly disgusts me. The most recent time I saw it I decided enough was enough and I was going to find out what this nast-egg actually is. My research led me to learn a lot about Taboola - a large advertising company responsible for most of the clickbait links you see at the bottom of an article. I now know a bit about how this type of advertising works... but I still don't know what the nast-egg actually is.

The numerous reverse image searches I've done have only lead me to times where it's been used as an ad. To me it looks like some sort of culture is being grown on the egg... maybe? My hope is that someone here has a better photo of it I can use for more image searches, or maybe someone actually knows what's going on in this image.

Any help you can give will be much appreciated. Thanks

Is silence from Mind Med normal in the industry?

Really confused about something in AYITL. Rory is repeatedly trying to get a meeting with Condé Nast. At the end of episode 2 we see her ask Logan to ask his dad to pull some strings to finally make it happen.

In the scene that follows, we’re in a magazine office in NYC. Due to the sequence of scenes, you just kind of assume this is the big Condé Nast meeting. Only then Rory says it’s for GQ, tells her mom it’s NOT for CN when her mom asks, and then I think at some point in episode 3 Rory says something like “this is why Condé Nast won’t call me back.”

So was the GQ meeting totally separate? How did Rory get a meeting there? If it’s meant to be totally separate it doesn’t make sense from a viewer’s standpoint.
