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.

@clairevo @chatprd Solidarity. Spend an absurd amount of time playing whack a mole with the fraud attempts. 😭

@AmandaMGoetz Welcome back ◡̈

@maiab “I’m biased, but..” (sort of, not quite?)

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

@JWLevitt 😭 generally insane that this is an issue.

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

World might be ending, just got a SHORT receipt at CVS.

Morning porch sitting and writing. HEB tortillas keeping me happy.

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... https://t.co/Ty3JvQAIPR

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

@karlclement @TateHackert This is a thing! If you have someone in the gym with you who is game, you can actually practice this by having them touch your rear delt while you do the movement to feel where you should be focusing your mind during the lift.

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

Good Things, Today:

- chilly fall morning but I’m still porch sitting with my coffee (and a cider donut)
- Digger and then You Can See Everything this week and we’re definitely back in action.
- a little acupuncture for tune up

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

Good Things, Today:

- neighborhood Halloween decorations
- the new Brandon Sanderson ‘The Fires of December’ (loving!)
- a cider donut and coffee on the porch in the morning
- there’s a new woman working at the post office who is great because those are some of my least favorite errands

@LaurenzRod I know head scratcher 😆

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

What's the goal of these [SPAM] subject lines? Inbox testing? Something else?

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

@LaurenzRod Normally they look like this!

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

@LaurenzRod It seems to be *just* this particular guy's email. (The rest of the spam is the normal email title.)

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

Good Things, Today:

- my friend brought me *the goods* (Mutsus and cider donuts from Honey Pot Hill)
- a day at @Wellesley (my favorite time of year)
- butter chicken pasta (Gymkhana and Brami)

@zamn @Square @dens I will concede that it was cut throat 😆

[Sam Tackeff 👋 @alphaprep]

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.

[Dennis Crowley 🇺🇸 (mostly on Threads, @dens) @dens]

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. https://t.co/HgcgI9DWvy
