Thank you Team Gleason for making our dream come true! Watching the Red Sox play from the top of the Green Monster. Bonus: meeting up with great friends. #gleasonfoundation #bucketlist #nowhiteflags

I just realized my non-US friends probably don't know how US insurance works.
So lets say your employer offers insurance. They pay a portion and then you pay a portion. For a family, the employee pays on average about $400 per pay cycle, or $10,400 per year.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The average U.S. worker with family coverage pays $5,969 towards employer-based health insurance, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation 2021 Employer Health Benefits Survey.

My 8yo daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named "Internet." I said no way, that can't be her name but my daughter has been adamant. For almost a year we've been having this discussion.
ANTOINETTE. I just found out her name is Antoinette.

I don't know, shaming people just because they didn't perform well at the Olympics feels like the opposite of why we supposedly have the Olympics in the first place.

Brian and I have pieced together the best care for him and we knew we needed to build a systemic platform that makes that available to everyone. Grateful to the patients, clinicians and investors who made this real.
Synapticure is now live. Let's do this.

I played for the name on the front of my jersey and the name on the back of my jersey. I played for my friends, my family & our community - every single one of you - that have given me what I have today.
I love you all. Thank you ALL for making this incredible journey possible

“Hate becomes the water you swim in. After all, if you’re going to post that or write that or draw that or think that or say that, then you better be ready for people to call you a cunt.”
All of this. Every word.

As Tom Brady announces the end of his NFL career, here is our essay on the one aspect of it that we can all agree on. I hope it brings back as many memories for you as it did for me writing it.

For about a year and a half, I worked at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum here in D.C. as a visitor services representative. On my first day, I was walking with my supervisor, who nudged me at one point and said: "See that guy? That's Henry. Make sure you talk to him." (thread)
