Interesting Things on the Internet: February 1st 2016

• A Good Death. Touching post from Alex.
• Affective Labour and Digital Collaboration. Interesting post looking at types of work and how they're recognised, prompted by discussions at the RCA's Future Makespaces in Redistributed Manufacturing symposium that I attended last weekend.
• Class (American). "The one great instrument of social mobility in the US is college. But it's not the degree. It's the socialization. College — residential college — is most people's one great shot (or not so great shot) at being socialized into a higher social class." I think this all stands for the UK too. Thought-provoking stuff.
• Sometimes You Break Their Hearts, Sometimes They Break Yours. A lovely short story.
• A nation of slaves.
• The Porous City.
• The fall of Jersey: how a tax haven goes bust. Is Jersey a canary for the rest of the UK?
