Sun Soaked & Incredibly Rich History

Revisado: 02-01-24

Truly a wonderful delving into an indigenous history that was either washed over or bulldozed with pathetic lies.

This is merely a jumping off point or anchor for myself, but for anyone looking for a touch point into rectifying the white washed history they learned as children and young adults… this is a great book to start with.

And it’s a wonderfully rich history, sun and blood soaked.

Ooooof… Did Anyone Edit Or Influence This..?

Revisado: 01-03-24

There is rarely an original thought, idea, anecdote, or insight in here and I would argue this is the worst of "influencer" cult-ure.

This is another shallow compilation and aggregation of others' works' enshrouded in the bullshittery of influence based capitalism. The premise is sound, the thesis intriguing, but the work is as hollow as the goop is plodding fuckery.

And where were the editors? Ooof.

I want my time back and this is a reminder that all "guests" on every outlet are merely extensions of the PR arm of all parties involved.

Needed.

Revisado: 08-15-23

If only I read this before working in or joining any of the ad platforms we wrongfully call “social.”

Big data is owes us it’s everything and it’s a slog, but we’re swinging.

Now delete all your socials and live your actual life.

Required Reading

Revisado: 06-22-23

If we are not going to instill civic lessons and new media literacy in our schools, the least we can do is make sure everyone in the United States reads this essential book.

Utterly Brilliant.

Revisado: 05-10-23

History is uncontainable, and unleashed it floods all pathways with the honest walloping of wayward words… that is unless you have been listening and participating, not merely paying with your alleged attention.

Must listen. Must read. Must share.

Must Listen

Revisado: 04-24-23

Miller has compiled an incredible history of the semiconductor industry and his telling reinforces the notions that the industry is not only vital to national security, but essential to global, if not local economic growth and our species (future) prosperity.

Revisado: 05-05-22

This website is full of right wing books supported by paid amplifiers… Bonnie Sawyer is one.

I’ll now go read the book.

Dumb Book For Dumb People

Revisado: 02-14-21

One of the worst books and most moronic attempts at creating an intellectual framework I have ever read.

This is misogyny and bigotry disguised as pseudo-intellectualism.

Words To Build By

Revisado: 02-11-21

“Radical Candor” is the book I wish I had read when I was 22 and then again every 3 years. It’s insightful, encouraging, deliberative, and jarring in the most wondrous of ways. It’s necessary kindling for the curious leader.

Republic of Lies... Essential Listening.

Revisado: 01-20-21

This is a must listen for everyone as we work to put the last 4 years of lies and corruption behind us. We must understand American fantasy and American’s susceptibility to believe anything due to the stressors of unfulfilled promises from the sovereign state. With prosperity for all comes truth and rigorous honesty, unlike the conspiracies and lies that have festered under the kakistocracy of a reality TV goon and his family.

Thank you Anna, this book is an incredible deep dive and explanation of how we got to inflection and insurrection point.
