Scott FeeneyHey #BikeTooter, we've scored a big win in San Francisco: we defeated a ballot measure *by 20 points* that would have opened car-free streets back up to traffic.
"The election demonstrates that a significant majority of San Francisco voters appreciate The City’s car-free streets and want them to stay." #sfpol #bikesf #carfree @mastobikes https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/transit/san-francisco-voters-deliver-mandate-on-car-free-streets/article_7b4b46bc-611d-11ed-9f04-9b08d8e2144e.html

Interesting read. Asserts that acquisition of #primarycare is the key to consumer engagement which is critical to care navigation service companies. If primary care is in such high demands why is it such a terrible job for providers that no one wants to go into it?
Flight Of The Healthcare Navigators: Why Glen Tullman’s Best Magic Trick Yet May Be Buying Teladoc
For Transcarent CEO Glen Tullman, there is a strong case to buy telehealth behemoth Teladoc – the very company that acquired Tullman's last company, Livongo for $18.5 billion. Tullman could buy back the entirety of Teladoc for less than a quarter of what it bought Livongo for just two years ago

Bastian AllgeierSome people think Mastodon is too weird to become popular:
I joined Twitter in 2008. We had to put a "d" in front of a tweet to convert it to a direct message and every other day you had some embarrassing private moments exposed because someone forgot about the “d”.

Oh, and the daily meet and greet with the failwhale. Totally not weird.
