Happy anniversary to all who observe. One year after Nico Harrison's firing, Mike Piellucci and Mike Marshall marked the occasion on this week's StrongSide by creating a Mount Rushmore of the best places people chanted "Fire Nico."⁠ ⁠ Meanwhile, Luka Dončić is leading the NBA in scoring, averaging 39.3 points per game. We suspect he'll celebrate the anniversary by dropping 40 against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight. dmagazine.com/micropost/nico…

In 2010, United States Marine Devin Harris was wounded on the battlefield in Afghanistan. His courage earned him a Purple Heart. But he also returned home with a collection of different devices, trackers, and monitors to keep an eye on his progress as he recovered from his injuries.⁠ ⁠ After he was healed up and he left the armed forces, a business idea started to form. He noticed that his fellow veterans were not getting the adequate support they needed from Veterans Affairs hospitals or private healthcare. So, he started thinking about how he could leverage the data that wearable health trackers—such as the Apple Watch, FitBit, or Oura Ring—collect to identify physical and mental health crises. Ultimately, the goal is to intervene before a veteran goes through a health crisis.⁠ ⁠ To turn the thesis into a business, Harris teamed up with Trey Bowles and Ryan Brown of 1845 Ventures, to found Optimus OS. The company’s flagship product is Cadence, a wristband tracker about the size of a watch designed for veterans. It launches this week. dmagazine.com/business-econo…

Two of Highland Park Methodist Church’s more famous members quietly weighed in on the conflict between the church and the United Methodist denomination in a New York Times piece published late last week. On October 25 and 26, 4,775 of the church’s approximately 15,000 members cast votes, with the majority voting to leave the denomination. Among those who voted to leave were former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush. “The Bushes ‘are grateful to Reverend Matt Tuggle for so faithfully guiding the congregation through these rough waters,’” Bush’s chief of staff, Freddy Ford, told the Times. Tuggle, Highland Park Methodist Church senior minister, has become the face of the effort to leave the denomination, along with former senior minister Paul Rasmussen. dmagazine.com/micropost/bush…
