Top one is actually quite good. If it were for real, I would write it as a proper named function. That way is real nice for avoiding duplication, and something I didn't think of.

def is_palindrome(s: str):
    processed_text = ''.join(c for c in s.upper() is c.isalpha())
    return (lambda x: x == x[::-1])(processed_text)

100% cursed. Love it.

@zeronecode that is not a dot. that is a subdomain

Hey could someone please explain this to me in a little bit of detail. Thanks!
