#Mustreads From Other Sites: Shatner Slams Facebook, Anonymous Targets Israel

Good morning! Here’s what Re/code is having with our coffee this morning:

1. Famed app reviewer William Shatner took to his Tumblr yesterday to trash Facebook’s “Mentions,” which you can’t use unless you’re famous.
2. Mother Jones’s Dana Liebelson looks at the hacker collective Anonymous’s new campaign against the Israeli government.
3. The Upshot’s Claire Cain Miller explains why technology and Silicon Valley are partly responsible for the collapse in mid-wage jobs during the Great Recession.
4. Guardian contributor J.R. Hennessy has a message for all you #disruptors: Your utopia sucks, and you’re not going to get people to like you.
5. What was your favorite year in music? 1994? 2003? Something even further back? Check out the Nostalgia Machine, which auto-assembles a video playlist of the most popular songs from any given year back to 1960.

If you see any stories you’d like to send our way (or have any questions/comments about stories we’ve recommended), feel free to shoot an email to noah.kulwin@recode.net.

Contributions are a key part of the future of Vox

Readers rely on Vox for clear, nuanced coverage that not only illuminates the issues, but poses solutions, too. And we rely on help from our readers: Advertising and grants cover the majority of our costs, but we count on contributions to help us close the gaps in our budget. In fact, we’re looking to reach 95,000 individual contributions before the end of the year. Will you make the next contribution right now? Our average gift is just $20 — and it goes a long way in helping us keep our work free. Vox is here to help everyone understand what’s shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Join that mission by making a contribution today.
