    Here's how to Truncate or Shorten text in Apple Shortcuts. I needed it for generating teaser text for a news article shortcut I am building for websites.

    1. Choose the "Match Text" action
    2. For the pattern field add ".{44}" and change the number to how many characters you'd like.

    The first album I listened to today from the Rich Kids took me by surprise. I thought I'd listened to them before but it looks like I'd only heard songs from various compilations.

    Really into the My Solid Ground album too.

    People are saying that Twitter is about to go down for good this weekend. Wonder if it's true? I have a Mastodon username that I should probably dust off in case.

    Went to ShimoKitazawa to rehearse today. It's super hot out so everyone is kinda moving slow, sweating a lot, and there was a lot of people with hand fans. It's "type about how hot it is" hot outside right now.

    Took a rare trip to Odiaba today to hang out with friends and check out the ocean at sunset. We always used to bring guests there when they visited Japan but stopped going because it's a bit more work to get there. There's an extra transfer that makes less of a choice than other areas. It's a lot more built up now which Ives told was because of the olympics. Got to see the giant life-sized Gundam finally. Pretty cool in real life.
