Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Wow... Todoist Pro subscription increasing from $4 to $7 a month.
There's a legacy Pro plan which I think I'm staying on, without any new features.

I'm pretty sure a contactless card that was tapped-in at 09:29 is charged as a peak time journey. Even if the train departs the station at 09:32, making it off-peak.

Scotland scraps peak rail fares - will the rest of the UK follow?

I've not been keeping up to date writing monthly summaries in my #journal. But this afternoon I've had Claude read my weekly and daily notes and writing the summaries for me!
And with the examples I've already written, it's gotten pretty good on how I like them formatted too.

I found a bug in my #Obsidian daily notes template where Sundays weren't being templated as the last day of the week.
Changing moment locale to `en-gb` fixed it for me. I've updated my blog post and gists for the same.

Every year @boomkat.com release charts of the best albums of the year - 172 of them this year, and clicking through each of them to find the most popular releases is tedious. So I wrote a scraper to see what releases appear in the most charts.
