Kevin Slavin: How algorithms shape our world
Mind: blown. Watch this all the way through when you have the chance. The graphs of the math are pretty, but it’s really more about the way that math is being abused in some stupid war/set of circumstances between companies who control large masses of money. Spooky.
The Corporation
The Corporation is, first of all, a rather long movie. Drink some coffee or tea beforehand, or you may not make it. With that said, it’s well worth the adventure, and is required reading for those at all interested in the subject. It starts at the beginning, and speaks well to the organizations of power and control both within the US and around the world.
First Listen: Ana Tijoux, ‘La Bala’
via NPR. Tijoux’s earlier album, 1977, is absolutely wonderful, and from what I’m hearing from this sample La Bala is also a necessary buy. Props to NPR for their First Listen series, too.
