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/me…

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 it’s 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/som…

OPENAI to EMPLOYEES: If someone is trying to seduce you, first consider β€” could they be a spy??? OpenAI is warning its employees about honeypot spies and strangers with children in playgrounds ... a very fun one with @georgia_wells and @MeghanBobrowsky: wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-companies…

Good Things, today: - morning coffee, walnut cardamom gata bread for a little treat (not too sweet!) - the neighborhood turkeys - walk at the track in the evening with my friend Michele (and stopping to chat with three separate neighbors.

Can I help you find some better stuff to read? (Or how to make your internet much more interesting.)
