[nonostantement #41] - we are nasa / hackers stealing instagram accounts / phone booth coworking

Welcome to nonostantement: a random newsletter that gives you personal recommendations of cool stuff.

• We Are NASA
  "We’ve taken giant leaps and left our mark in the heavens. Now we’re building the next chapter, returning to the Moon to stay, and preparing to go beyond. We are NASA – and after 60 years, we’re just getting started. Special thanks to Mike Rowe for the voiceover work."

• Are You Ready for the Nanoinfluencers?
  "Their lack of fame is one of the qualities that make them approachable. When they recommend a shampoo or a lotion or a furniture brand on Instagram, their word seems as genuine as advice from a friend."

• Wes Anderson’s Offbeat Debut as a Curator Drove a Storied Museum’s Staff Crazy. The Results Are Enchanting
  "Co-curated with Juman Malouf, “Spitzmaus Mummy in a Coffin and other Treasures” focuses on the curious and the weird in perfect compositions."

• How Hackers Are Stealing High-Profile Instagram Accounts
  "Brooks has targeted several YouTubers, Instagram stars, and meme pages and used the stolen pages to promote scammy-looking apps and fake offers for free products. In the past month alone, he has seized @Fact, with 7.2 million followers, @Chorus, with 10.1 million, and @SnoopSlimes, with 1.9 million."

• Phone Booth Coworking
  "For our latest mission, we turned a pair of phone booths on 6th Avenue into coworking spaces. Real New Yorkers were invited to try out the new “WeWork Street” service and learn about the many benefits of outdoor coworking."

• Quitting Instagram: She’s one of the millions disillusioned with social media. But she also helped create it.​
  "She and four others from that small group now say the sense of intimacy, artistry and discovery that defined early Instagram and led to its success has given way to a celebrity-driven marketplace that is engineered to sap users’ time and attention at the cost of their well-being."

that's it for now.
