Aloha,

What’s up? Doing good? Here are some links I think are worth sharing.

1. Cultivée plutôt que riche, la «classe ambitieuse» change le rapport à la consommation. Pourquoi la consommation de légumes moches a fini par compter davantage que la marque de notre voiture.
2. Sally West paints beach landscapes. She works on texture to create stylish renditions of white wash.
3. Given you’re into architecture and unaffordable home, check out Netflix’s The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes documentary series. My favorite one is the one in the Arizona desert. What a view!
4. A chilling reveal: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica in major data breach. They were used to break society and change the psychology of people, in order to change politics.
5. Edward Snowden: Facebook is a surveillance company rebranded as ‘social media’
6. #deletefacebook . “I would wager I use Facebook more to broadcast my ego than interact with real humans. And I suspect that most of us are in a similar situation”. You can use this nice browser extension to delete old facebook data. Don’t forget to ask for a backup so you get to keep everything.
7. Autonomous vehicles, aka self-driving cars will change where people chose to live. As a result, ~$1 trillion of real estate is on the move … here’s why. (Hint: It appears it already started in the US)
8. Suprême NTM – Anthologie. The best tracks of the french hip-hop group NTM. Perfect.
9. I don’t really know why I like No Age – Snares Like a Haircut but I am not alone as Drowned In Sound‘s Marc Burrows explains it much better than me: “After 40 minutes you’re still not totally sure what it is you’ve listened to. This could be great, messy pop music, or just as easily be something you dreamt, dozing in post-coital bliss with a detuned radio in the background.“.
10. I had a good laugh watching Ricky Gervais’ last show “Humanity“.

Thanks for reading!

Hey ya,

What’s up? Here are some cool stuff that inspired me this week. A lot of music, some cool videos,

1. La talentueuse Oli Clément commence une série de posts sur le travail pour aider ceux qui en souffrent.
2. Fancy fat rock’n’roll with psychedelic vibes? Sunflowers – Castle Spell is your fix.
3. Describing Khruangbin – Con Todo El Mundo is a tad hard. Maybe slow chill-out-space-funk? Anyway, listen to it when you need to chill.
4. Chassol is a genius and proves it by ultra-scoring this hilarious Key & Peele’s Cunnilingus Classvideo.
5. Waymo shows off what it’s like to ride in a truly driverless self-driving car
6. When You Give a Tree an Email Address. The city of Melbourne assigned trees email addresses so citizens could report problems. Instead, people wrote thousands of love letters to their favorite trees.
7. Bitcoin’s Lightning Network is now in beta, on the mainnet. This doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it is.
8. Spike Jones directed the Apple’s HomePod ad starring FKA Twig and it impossible not to think of Jamiroquai – Virtual Insanity when watching it.

Hey you,

Here are some links I think are worth sharing.

1. Scientists are stunned. North Pole temperature are above 0ºC and the sun won’t rise until March 21.
2. What’s more normal than worshippers with AR-15 rifles wearing crowns made of bullets? Everything.
3. Seeing Depression or Anxiety only through the biomedical lens is wrong. Is Neoliberalism Making Our Depression and Anxiety Crisis Worse?.
4. Mental health is produced socially: The presence or absence of mental health is above all a social indicator and therefore requires social, as well as individual, solutions. We need new ways of treating depression.
5. Bio-like robots which all parts are printed as one at once by Additive Manufacturing.
6. I couldn’t really explain what is a waveform until I read this. Let’s learn about Waveforms. (This link does not work in Firefox, open it in Safari or Chrome).
7. How would you use Bitcoin as a display of wealth?
8. I dig the hip-hop vibes from Rejjie Snow’s latest album Dear Annie.

Aloha,

Here are some links I think are worth sharing.

In this week edition: A lot of music (from afro-latin electronic to hip-hop to unplugged guitar), tips to control your phone, some scientific insights about work, our addiction to convenience, and some impressive pie work.

1. The afro-latin project Penya released their first EP “Super Liminal“. It’s good! It’s always a pleasure to listen to Run The Jewels.
2. Do you want a downtempo hip-hop vibe? Listen to Milo – Who Told You To Think ??!!?!?!?!. Do you want to House club vibe? Dance to Peggy Gou – Six o Six.
3. Take control of your phone. I started using my phone in greyscale mode and removed the clutter on the first screen. I hope it helps.
4. Why “Deep Work” is Becoming a Competitive Advantage for Companies. Being a remote worker for many years and still having issues focusing, I fully support this article. We need better ways to work.
5. “These findings suggest that stressful jobs have clear negative consequences for employee health when paired with low freedom in decision making, while stressful jobs can actually be beneficial to employee health if also paired with freedom in decision making.”
6. ”If the first convenience revolution promised to make life and work easier for you, the second promised to make it easier to *be you.*The new technologies were catalysts of selfhood. They conferred efficiency on self-expression.”. Tim Wu delivers a spot-on analysis on the role of Convenience in our modern society.
7. Lauren Ko’s pies are original and beautiful.
8. I love OC Note’s work. He’s always surprising. His new album is innoncent and refreshing. Much needed. OC Notes – New Generation: Embracing the New Age
