I almost want to push the button and see how it makes "k" shorter.

maybe: '

you know you gotta judge people by the standard of their day. they were so naive then

a button offers the option of having MS Copilot "Summarize this email" when the email consists of a single letter of the alphabet

I have received an email from a famously terse colleague with the single letter "k" in the body indicating their assent to a question I posed, and outlook has added this enticing offer to my read options

A young white plane mascot with rosy cheeks, a red neck scarf, and a blue pilot’s cap stands in front a digital sign saying “Kansai Airports”.

Kansai Airport's mascot is a young plane named Sorayan.

it’s more like browsing a video store now. Some good stuff, some awful ones, good luck.

More like “endless easing into a hot tub”

a good title is half the battle

We must carry His spirit. It is time

Just ten thousand more lanes bro I swear

wut.

what if okra was the actual street name of some cutting edge new drug

yeah he’s hitting the okra pretty hard these days, can’t string two words together

“Is he doing okra?”

Yes iPhone keyboard autocorrect, yes that is exactly the question I wanted to type in the middle of the discussion. Is he doing okra. Thank you.

I pity the fool who doesn’t know the secret word.

in general, more things should have been punctuated by a beastie boys KICK IT

a map from 1918 showing the interurban network sprawling across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.
