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/somā€¦

Yesterday in Detroit, someone asked Bovino if he would ever run for president. ā€œI like the Border Patrol, I wanna be back with my team,ā€ Bovino said, explaining he views politicians as below agents. But if politicians ā€œdonā€™t start doing their job,ā€ heā€™d consider it.
