CINCINNATI—Overwhelmed by a wave of fatigue, local man Will Markowski told reporters Tuesday that he was uncertain whether he was getting sick or if it was just the end of a normal workday. “I have no idea if this exhaustion I’m feeling means I’m coming down with something or if I’m just getting back from the office,” said Markowski, who noticed his body becoming achy throughout the day either from contracting an illness or the effects of his regular Monday-through-Friday routine. “I’m completely drained and lightheaded. I feel like this every day when I leave work, of course, but that doesn’t mean I’m not also coming down with something. Whatever it is, I really need to lie down.” At press time, Markowski was waking up to nausea and a headache that either meant he was getting sicker or merely that he remembered the stack of paperwork waiting for him.

I'm really excited for these inauguration crowd numbers to come in.

Don’t cook the books either Donald. We all know your event was dry. No matter how many times CNN anchors repeat majestic or peaceful transition of power. The world can see America divided and the chaos in the streets. Barack we love you but it would’ve been equally presidential if you would’ve just walked on out while Donald got through that struggle speech trashing your career. The majority knows man, we know you did good. We see it. The majority sees Donald for who he is too. He ain’t slick. And it’s too bad the majority doesn’t count. In any event, a first family that I can relate to will be missed. Really though.

New Company Aims To Explore Intersection Of Technology, Other Thing

SAN FRANCISCO—Explaining how their company was poised to usher in a bold new era of innovation, founders of local startup Intuihub told reporters Wednesday that their mission is to explore the intersection of technology and another thing.

“When you look at where the world is going right now, it just makes a lot of sense to take cutting-edge technology and incorporate it into this other thing,” said Intuihub co-founder Martin Fiske, who explained that the other thing will be modernized and streamlined once it is integrated with the latest technological breakthroughs. “We’re looking out at an exciting new frontier, one in which technology will be used to push the boundaries of what the other thing is capable of.”

Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

I’m writing this in part to tell you that if you ever wonder what you’ve done in your life, and everyone does wonder sooner or later, you have been God’s grace to me, a miracle, something more than a miracle…. [I]t’s your existence I love you for, mainly. Existence seems to me now the most remarkable thing that could ever be imagined.

I loved this book.

Highly, highly recommended.
