  • So far, Wren founder and creative director Melissa Coker has maintained that the cast in the film are actually her real-life friends and colleagues. They're just, you know, super good-looking. Obvs.

  • Don’t mistake this as anything other than a test run for the future.
  • As a trial run, I’m not optimistic that it will work out well for them. But I think that this stands as yet more evidence that DRM-creep is something to watch for

    New Keurig coffee makers will have DRM and will not work with any other coffee pods. I use a pod that minimizes the plastic and the little plastic it does use is corn based and biodegradable. I inherited my keurig from my partner's office (they were going to throw it away for a very silly reason!) and it looks like i won't ever purchase one for myself.

  • Simultaneously, though, we must understand that Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other profit-driven companies are not neutral platforms for these conversations.
  • tech industrialists are the Rockefellers of this century, with profit, not innovation or the social good, as their primary motive
  • The lobby group FWD.us, brought to us by founders and investors of Facebook, LinkedIn and Spotify, among others, famously supported the Keystone XL oil pipeline with millions in pro-pipeline advertising

  • Peers.org, an initiative launched by "sharing economy" companies like the home-subletting site Airbnb, have resisted government regulation, even as disability advocates fear services like the "rideshare" service Uber are increasing inequality between people with and without disabilities
  • they're doing everything they can to avoid paying taxes
  • gentrification
  • San Francisco has lost at least 40 percent of its black population since 1990, more than any other major city
  • But the fact is tech companies continue the practices of devaluation of racialized and feminized labor on a global scale
  • There are no easy answers
  • Another answer is for tech workers to, in tech lingo, disrupt the industry's exploitation by developing alternative tools for connecting us all. Firefox, LibreOffice, PirateBay, Wikipedia and WordPress are all widely used technology-based tools created by organizations that don't count profit as their foremost objective.
  • More important, we can organize with and support the media and activists that already are doing this work, like the Bay Area's POOR Magazine

racism race microagressions

  • It depends on what you think racist means. Conservatives will not only answer the question “No”, they’ll be insulted that you even raised it (and will probably launch into their canned everybody-who-disagrees-with-Obama-is-a-racist-to-you-people riff). That’s because conservatives have adopted a very restricted definition of racism: Racism is conscious hatred towards people of another rac
  • But they can’t look at a black president the same way they looked at the 43 white presidents. Things just look different when Obama does them. What do you call that?

    Selfiecity investigates selfies using a mix of theoretic, artistic and quantitative methods: We present our findings about the demographics of people taking selfies, their poses and expressions. Rich media visualizations (imageplots) assemble thousands of photos to reveal interesting patterns. The interactive selfiexploratory allows you to navigate the whole set of 3200 photos. Finally, theoretical essays discuss selfies in the history of photography, the functions of images in social media, and methods and dataset.

  • In the news media and in popular culture, the notion persists that millennials — born after the overt racial debates and divisions that shaped their parents’ lives — are growing up in a colorblind society in which interracial friendships and marriages are commonplace and racism is largely a relic
  • being “postracial” can mean replicating some of the divisions and insensitivity of the past, perhaps more from ignorance than from animus

      Ugh. Good thing I don't rely on my Sony Reader for too much of my research. In this case, it will end up being a benefit that so many academic books were not available through their store.
  • No, existing notes and highlights will not appear after the transfer; however, you can always make new notes and highlights in the Kobo reading experience.
