Public Service: The Backbone of American Democracy
I liked this take on OMB’s fork in the road email from a former venture capitalist and former US Ambassador.

ACTIVE Advantage Membership - Scam
We were reviewing our credit card bills this month and noticed a suspicious charge from ACT*ACTIVE-NETWORK for $99. We did a little research and traced it back to a race my wife signed up for a race in 2021 - they must have been using these ActiveNetwork jerks as their registration and payment backend. Apparently - somewhere in their check-out/payment flow you get signed up for a membership plan if you’re not paying attention. Be careful out there if you’re registering for a race! Even if you’re careful and you end up in this boat - follow these steps: - Go to https://www.active.com [https://www.active.com]; use the password reset link if you don’t remember your password. - Go to My Profile > Advantage - At the bottom right, under the list of “benefits” you will see a “CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP” link tiny letters.
