A gunman murdered 8 people in a Texas mall today. The graphic video footage is circulating without any regard for the dead, the victims’ families and moral decency. As of today, there have been 199 mass shootings in U.S. There have been 12,000+ gun deaths in the U.S. this year.

Months in the making of this piece, a deep dive into the complexities of the reggaeton realm in Spain--and the never-ending racial and ethnic nuance underneath the three beat pattern. My first feature for @pitchfork :) edited by the great @jabladoraaa https://t.co/DCTWwOoMnH

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out:

▪️ No drop in revenue

▪️ 65% fewer sick days

▪️ 71% less burnout

▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial

The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.
