Actually, when I say "cheaply," I mean "free." You can fix your communications issues with the assets you already have--you just need to stop misallocating them.

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

Hey, @NamecheapCEO , the customer trust you're losing isn't about the cooler failures alone. It's about a failure in communication from the jump--and on multiple levels. I have mapped out every major failure point AND how to fix it easily (and cheaply) if you're interested.

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@SpaceshipStatus Do you understand that none of this is what most of us actually want to know? Please give us actual updates about the websites and emails we depend on.

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@NamecheapCEO This information should be available through your support pages. Communication has been very poor from the outset.

Please tell me you're canning your comms director.

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@AmericanUphold @GetSpectrum I need to know you understand that scammers, basically by definition, will lie about where they're calling from

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@spaceship I don't think you do understand our concerns. Why are we having to follow breadcrumbs to get any fucking information? Why did we not get emails? Why are you not updating the support account? Why is there nothing on your webpage?

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

The @spaceship cooler failures today are, if nothing else, a fascinating study of crisis communications by examining a company that has done basically everything wrong from a communications standpoint.

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@spaceship @synthocore ... why can't we follow the SpaceshipStatus account to get status updates for spaceship? Seems like we, your customers, have to jump through an awful lot of hoops just to get information. Meanwhile isn't that, like, the entire purpose of the Status account?

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@spaceship @SpaceshipStatus Hello? Several hours now with no word on what's actually happening here. Communication is key to any business. We don't have it because our email is still down. Meanwhile, you have the ability to communicate and are simply failing spectacularly.

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@spaceship @TORONTOBESTIPTV How did one single failure point become such a major deal? And more importantly, how are you going to fix this in the future? A single-source power outage effectively rendering a massive chunk of users offline or without email is just not work.

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@SpaceshipStatus That's... great... but you all realize how tone-deaf that is, right? I get it--BTCPay is probably the easiest, safest thing to repair quickly.
But your customers have email accounts and websites--things many of us (like myself) use for business. Tell us where THAT is.

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

If VOs want ethical #VoiceAI (voice cloning)they need to do two things:
1. Demand an ethical contract: FAIR payment, time-limited use licensing, the ability to say NO, disclosure of use, ability to rescind permission.
2. Say NO to unethical contracts (perpetuity etc)

I'm going to say something a little controversial:
Reading fees don't value art; they commodify publication.

@LauraLoomer Only if by "illegal," you mean "Hispanic." So, are you stupid or just racist?

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@LauraLoomer Sorry, you're a "journalist?" Try some basic research. There are 11 million illegal immigrants, dumbass.

I have fallen to #Whamageddon, Lastsassinated by my own daughter, my own flesh and blood, as I drove her home, helpless to defend myself from the brutality of the attack.
I thought I raised her better...

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

@LeagueofActors I'd like to say it's a red flag for several reasons, but now all I can think about is the Groucho Marx quote: "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."

[Randy Streu @randystreu]

Mine.

Can someone help me deepfake @RobertIger saying he agrees with #SAGAFTRA ?

[C. Robert Cargill @Massawyrm]

The fact that Bob Iger gave an anti-labor interview while he is reportedly having a 2nd yacht constructed to replace his 184 foot super yacht might be the most on brand CEO shit of the year.
