Cookie banners have broken me. Bring back the surveillance state. Anything to make the pop-ups stop.

This may seem like a black swan event (and at this scale, it is) but this old 60 Minutes vid from 09 about how the FDIC takes over a bank every 2 weeks on average (and are pros at it) gave me confidence this wont be the doomsday event people think itll be youtu.be/TAE8i40A5uI

I currently have >7k unread emails, and I'm thinking about marking-as-read all older than 30 days, and going inbox zero from here on out. Having serious anxiety, need some words of affirmation in this decision.

Update - down to 26 unread emails. I feel liberated. Also please don't comment on my AOL email address, it's vintage.

Twitter Ask: If you're traveling and need to take a quiet meeting/call in another city, where do people go? Not a coffee shop. Are there coworking spaces or phone-booths that you can book hourly? Does wework do this? Specifically asking about LA

Called him out, turns out, he got his friend "Erika" to get it for him. Of all the generic names he could have picked...we have actually never gotten an order from an Erika!
