Massively excited to launch the @SlackHQ State of Work. Writing was a wild ride involving 60+ partners—and now that it's out in the world, we have a cornerstone piece of thought leadership that will drive much of our future efforts. So proud of this team! slack.com/resources/why-use-…

Actresses that never played Jerry Seinfeld’s date and the storyline they probably would’ve had. Mariska Hargitay, “Amy”, a local weather woman. Jerry breaks up with her because she’s wrong about the weather one weekend. (Jerry misses a Mets game)

Our parents were potpourri-loving maximalist clutter freaks so we reacted by painting everything that could be painted white, and everything else we made clean and slick, and now we have to admit: we went too far. Our spaces are charmless.
