Sweden’s general election is on September 9. Immigration is a hotter topic than ever. With 8(!) parliamentary parties in the runnings this will be a taxing election for a country seen as most committed to reducing inequality. And a reason for the world to watch. #val2018
Here is what I’m referring to when I say Sweden is seen as a country most committed to reducing inequality. The Oxfam inequality index. theguardian.com/inequality/dat…

Collecting data, replacing human culture, inflating numbers, sticky features... ”If you do those things . . . are you even a designer at all? Or are you a glorified huckster—a puffed-up propaganda artist with a fancy job title in an open-plan office?” fastcodesign.com/90152218/desig…
I read a book by Michael Wolff in the 90s. Burn Rate🔥⏳. In it he recounts how a company genuinely believes it has bought the Internet when he sells them a database with random links 😂 . This was pre search engines mind you. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Now on to Fire and Fury 🔥😤 .
Just a friendly reminder though... these books are entertainment... anecdotes. The trustworthiness of Wolff himself I know little about, but I do also read criticisms of his work, well aware there is such a thing as crying wolff... (sorry!): splinternews.com/remember-who-m…
Example from this article: « a simple Google search proves Trump has previously spoken about Boehner at length, making the notion that he would respond “Who?” to a mention of the former House Speaker feel dubious at best ».

@strandell ✋ When writing a report, title is the title of the report. Heading 1 is usually the Introduction or Executive Summary.

On my reading list to re-read this year is Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. And to read for the first time: Island, by the same author.

@UXMuch Pretty much. One of those things that has grown in importance for me over the past couple of years.
Been looking at headphone websites for hours and it amazes me how much diversity in images, low-key language (not market-speak), website accessibility and attention to sustainability is influencing my impression of each product. I hope this is a ”2018 effect”.
