Cover of The Business of Racism: Labor and Environment in Brazil's Racial Capitalism by Ian Carrillo. The cover photograph depicts workers in a sugarcane field under a sky of fluffy clouds. The cut canes fill the bottom half of the image, and the sky the top half. The title appears in all-caps centered green text in the top third of the cover, and the subtitle in a black italicized font immediately below. The author's name appears on white text on top of the canes.

A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator
A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator YouTube video by ForbrukerrΓ₯det - Norwegian Consumer Council

"Make people dependent enough, and then make it shitty"

Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days
