This really is a simple and effective idea. Love it. Thanks for doing this.

I actually do this already manually from time to time. Very effective for translating finance speak.

Somewhere near the bottom of my todo list is a bot named Make it Make Sense people can summon to translate esoteric posts.

Sometimes, someone writes something so brilliant all you can do is weep in frustration that you will never write something half as brilliant. So it is with this paragraph by @jysexton.bsky.social exploring the mind of Trump. You must read his latest. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-dying-pu...

The last time I interacted with him was on Facebook over a decade ago, where his avatar was him flying through the air doing a Chuck Norris style karate kick. Guaranteed MAGA.

The college fellow was essentially the same guy in ROTC form.

I want to punch both of them in the brain to this day.

I know at least two people like that. One from HS, one from college. The guy from HS was full on annoying at all times. Spitting on students from the theatre catwalk, for instance. He later joined the Navy and upped his annoyance game.

The last time the #Panthers were in sole possession of first place in December, I was a freshman in high school.

I’m 24 now.

Win the next two, get the job done. Simple as that for this team. But regardless of the next three games, Yr 2 for Dave Canales-Dan Morgan is an immediate success.

I find practicing disc golf drives to be strangely helpful. Takes a lot of practice to coordinate the transfer of power through your legs into your upper body and it works the hell out of your core. Also useful in forcing you to relax in order to get that whip effect.
