If you don't have enough time this week.... quit something. Seriously. I love updating my "not doing" list. Do you have one? It's liberating.
Curious about the economics of Signify Health. Health insurer is *super* pushy about getting the annual 30 minute scheduling of a SH appointment.
I know it saves a ton for MA folks, etc. but I'm generally healthy and on top of my own appts... wsj.com/health/healthcare/meβ¦

Crowning achievement was stealing the mayorship of the @Square office from @zamn in a covert op in 2011.
Genuinely so much love for this app and what itβs given me over the years. Thank you, @dens for the heart you put into it.
Sorry to read about this outcome but what a run.
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/somβ¦

Good Things, today:
- morning coffee, walnut cardamom gata bread for a little treat (not too sweet!)
