First of Kind: The @jgebbia interview
Why did Joe Gebbia go to Washington?
I met with America’s first-ever Chief Design Officer last fall to find out. We met on the White House grounds to discuss his newly created role, the formation of @ndstudio, and how Joe plans to weave design into the fabric of U.S. federal government.

@sujayjaswa Amazing and so very hard to watch. Tears for sure. So horribly embarrassing what we have done to these patriots that helped and trusted us.
@DoorDash@deberaba Ive literally never had worse experiences with a service. We have a big family and average 350 bucks an order. I will never ever use them again just lost 400 dollars in Sushi and impossible to connect@with them. Shame.
