This isn’t a “tech-savvy artist,” and they’re not teaching us “a lesson in the artifice of social media.”

ALT Highlighted text from article: ‘I also wanted to comment on this idea that I call “cop art.” Cop art is a form of surveillance art where you just mimic the oppressor, and I feel like I see it a lot with people who make surveillance art where it’s just like, “Hey I stalked someone and called it art.” and it’s like no, you’re being a cop. You’re literally copying the NSA, you’re not making art.’

The corporate McDonald's flag is flown at half-mast at the US torture prison, Guantanamo Bay, to honor a former US secretary of state who said the starving of hundreds of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children "was worth it." How is this country taken seriously?

The top-line result of this study of microlending is that it helps women start businesses and earn income. But unfortunately, the businesses they are starting are often multilevel marketing businesses, where you mostly make money by signing up other people. (1/7)
"A three-year study of [@GrameenAmerica's] microlending program for low-income female entrepreneurs in New Jersey found that participants increased savings, earnings, and credit scores, according to [an MDRC] report Friday," writes @amyyeewrites @citylab. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

After Harvard, I went to work in the kitten guillotine industry in a very prestigious position that is awarded to 0.005% applicants. Inside the company I learned this practice is unethical. As congress seeks to ban kitten guillotines, i am available anytime to speak with media.
