From Readwse: My collection of saved notes reflects a strong critical eye toward conservative leadership—such as tracking criticisms of Tory governance and policies—as well as an affinity for social-democratic ideas, worker solidarity, and public services like the NHS.
An interesting fact? In the UK, more miles of canals than of railways were built in the 1830s, and just one new railway bill passed through the parliamentary sessions of 1840 and 1841. (source: Simon Bradley - The Railways).

AI. I’m not a die-hard fan, and I’m not against it either. My feeling is that, used wisely, it can bring real benefits. For example, I use Day One for journaling. I am finding that the AI creator in there is very useful as I can talk or write to it as I go along through the day, and I miss less.

It’s a sunny Monday morning here. 1125 pm now. I’m in the coffee shop at work enjoying an Americano. I do not use my iPhone for much typing - on screen keyboards are so slow. However, I have a Bluetooth folding keyboard and a stand, and that works a treat when it’s all I have with me.
