Dear Jim,
First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…
Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

You have to be astonishingly full of yourself to think that INSIGHT is the word you were looking for here

in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed

a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

If you've tried and failed to follow what Seattle's new zoning might allow, I've got you. Here are 4 case studies showing some of the exciting ways new incentives line up with current demand and emerging household demographic trends, with a focus on stacked flats.

Functionally, there is no way to enter the US “the right way.” Undocumented people aren’t undocumented because they don’t want to fill out paperwork. It’s because we let in 50,000 people a year in a lottery that privileges countries with fewer migrants.

The US media is full of "EV sales fall off cliff" stories.

Let's be clear: sh*tty, expensive EVs from legacy OEMs aren't selling, but well-built, moderately priced Chinese EVs are rocking non-NA markets like Europe and the Global South.

China Blows Past Record for Europe Car Sales on Hybrid, EV Gains

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Dig 10 feet underground, anywhere on Earth, and the ground temperature will be a balmy 50 to 60° Fahrenheit (10-15° C). When you tap that ambient heat and hook it up to a heat pump, it becomes the world’s most efficient form of heating and cooling.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.

Downtown could have "like, a 10-foot wall" where people could talk to AI versions of historical figures. "How cool would this be if we had like, a 10 foot wall. It's interactive and it's historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King."...

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
