gm, Yes, last night's debate was hard to watch. I get it, our country is hurting. Ralph Nader has been pointing this out for years. Thomas Frank wrote a great book about it. For too long, I have followed and paid for Twitter accounts who call themselves journalists.
Howdy, I first started writing these posts on heyheyrenee.com in 2017, when I noticed people getting the peace sign wrong - using the Mercedes logo. For me, this foretold a bad sign. Today, Cory Doctorow calls it enshittification. The June 30 2019 was the biggest offender – until today. Today

gm, I started watching Dancing For The Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult on Netflix last night. I had to turn it off. Not because it was poorly made. Because I've seen this story over and over - another example of why social media is a social disease. When
Last week I was introduced to a new word - enshittification. It's one word that defines what I wrote about for years on heyheyrenee.com, pieces such as this one. Welcome, Robot Overlords. Please Don’t Fire Us?paulie Put simply, enshittification means everything is going to shit.

Two weeks ago Heni Discord user Pedro accused me of scamming him and others. He posted slanderous comments about me in the Discord. I asked a Heni moderator ("mod(s)") to step in, they refused to. So I stopped posting there. Pedro lied about me in front of
gm, The post preview picture is from Yemen today. There's so much unrest in the world. Millions are calling out Israel's illegal war. UN Special Rapporteur: Israel can’t claim ‘right of self-defence’Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur, has said that Israel cannot claim the right
Today I was in Glenwood Springs seeing my friends Tommy and Tina Divel at Grande Optics. Tommy and I were talking about what makes a great small business and why great small businesses are what the world needs. I was telling Tommy how I've never in all my
Went to see Oppenheimer yesterday with our son Justin at the IMAX. BTW. Did Jobs get "i" from IMAX? The movie is a must see. Anyway, on the way back Justin blew my mind. He turned me on. In his words and his way he showed me that
I wrote this in 2013 on heyheyrenee. I wouldn't change a word. Here's a great piece by Kevin Drum on Mother Jones on what the not too distant future will look like, technology wise. It's about what technology will do, the jobs that'
Howdy, Before I go on, I'm in no way pronouncing doom for crypto. But there's so many problems. People have got to see them and make changes. First, read this: https://aidenlab.org/bitcoin.pdf From the report: "Although bitcoin was designed to rely on

Last week I read that Mailchimp banned crypto companies from using their platform. It turns out that Mailchimp's policies specifically prohibit crypto companies. I've written before that I don't get why the crypto world relies so heavily on centralized services, or Twitter. This is
From my keyboard it appears that 99.9% of NFT projects rely on Twitter for their marketing, or to get their message out. I think this is a big mistake. A much better approach is build all marketing and messaging on their website. If you have something to promote or
This week's Medium post from young brother Insight [https://twitter.com/NFT1nsight] points out some glaring contradictions of the crypto world. Namely, IMO, that on balance the community doesn't practice what it preaches re: decentralization. NFTs: on identity and platformsNFTs are taking the digital world by
The Western United States is on fire and the hottest months still ahead. Here in the mountains of CO it hasn't rained in 2 years. Snowpack is down 40% over the past 60 years. We're one lightening strike from our homes burning to the ground. The
The beginning of the end was early on in dotcom, when newspapers sucked up to the search and ad engines. Newspapers should have put up paywalls. But instead they listened to the mob, who told them, “paying for stuff is out. Now you give away what you have and sell
