Edit: You may have to run the automation script once manually to accept the new Allow Always prompts or else the automation doesn’t trigger or sends that notification to accept causing one to think the shortcut isn’t working.
This is an amazing find and worked pretty well in my testing of leaving and arriving home.
With the Focus modes, you can allow a mode to enable/disable based on location via automation within the options of creating a Focus. In Shortcuts, like the previous DND automation, you now have the option to choose a Focus as a trigger to fire off a shortcut. When the Focus mode enables or disables, that change will trigger the automation in Shortcuts which in turn will fire off your actions.
Here’s how to build it:
Previously, I have shared a shortcut to transfer Spotify playlist to Apple Music, but it can transfer no more than 100 tracks at a time.
Here is the updated version:

So I just wanted to run down some absolutely amazing discoveries i’ve made for myself as I continue to learn more about shortcuts and automation. Maybe you know some of them (or maybe even all :,() but nevertheless here we go. 1, 3, and 4 are most useful.
BBC podcasts really are fantastic if you want documentary / investigative shows.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/category/documentaries
The current show The Lazarus Heist is well worth a listen - its about North Korean hackers but I also recommend
Blood Sport (Russian Athletic Doping)
Fatwa (Salman Rushdie’s fatwa from the 1980’s)
Mayday (under the Intrigue series - about death of a White Helmet in Syria)
13 Minutes to the Moon (the moon missions)
Death in Ice Valley (mysterious body / unsolved )
Missing CryptoQueen (Crypto Scammer)
All are brilliantly well made with great story telling and proper production, and no annoying mattress ads.
I enjoy listening to Chompers every morning and night with my son to brush our teeth. Today they announced it will become a Spotify exclusive on July 1. I use PocketCasts and do not use Spotify, and I will not download it just to listen to exclusive podcasts. It’s only a matter of time before all Gimlet shows become Spotify exclusive, so today I’m unsubscribing from Chompers, Reply All and several others. Maybe most people don’t care, but podcasts have been sort of a hold out when it comes to a free and open internet, I deal with enough BS from 17 TV streaming services.
If you are looking for a good series to binge - I am very impressed with this one and even a little conflicted about what happened (sign of more balanced reporting?)
It is about a guy who did or did not die who is allegedly the only one who had passwords to a bitcoin fortune. Very well told!
And tell me what to expect! The more niche, the better, but entertaining!
I’ll start:
Crime Pays, but Botany Doesn’t
After a stretch of great courses on botany, I searched the keyword for a related podcast. The guy reminds me of the orchid thief, from adaptation, or maybe the guy from S-town. He’s rough and raw, but wildly knowledgeable in plants. He spent a good number of years smuggling plants across international borders at the (under the table) requests of various botanical gardens looking to circumvent the challenges around importing plants legally. He just goes off talking about his various rough adventures, knows the Latin name and genus for every plant and is an entertaining listen. (No affiliation)
Just got a notification that episode 15 released. Let’s gooooo!!!!!
Buzzfeed just won an award on their investigations on the camps and I read the articles and was wondering if you guys knew any podcasts that also did a deep dive on the subject?
Recently had a post birth reaction as they call it. Stressed out, and anxious and had a panic attack. I’m getting it worked out and so is doing much better.
A little background on me, I’m 30, engineering student. Living with girlfriend and two month old son. Anxiously struck, socially especially, but functioning. Creative, caring and an avid reader.
Any recommendation is taken seriously and might get purchased and read.
I have my own subjective opinions and biases when it comes to this (I blame the internet, basically), but I’d love to read a well-rounded, deep-dive into the subject that maybe considers other factors, such as our ancestors’ tribal behaviours, group identity, the impact of world wars, etc.
I assume most books on this topic will focus on politics, which I’d definitely be into, but I’d also be interested in reading about how it affects pop culture.
Conversely (and in the interests of not continually fuelling my own misery), if there are any good books that make a convincing argument that we’re not as divided as we think we are, I’d be up for giving those a try, too.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
Edit: This was my first time posting in this sub, and I honestly did not expect to get such an overwhelming response. I’ve ordered a couple of books based on everyone’s suggestions and added about ten more to my “to read” list. Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. I …
I would like to get to know middle eastern classics. In all my collection I only have two middle eastern collection/book, the 1001 Arabian nights and A moorish calendar. The thing is if it’s written in the last centuries, I’m not interested and I will get somewhere in the future the Al Quran, but for now I’m not looking for anything too religious if it’s possible.
Thanks in advance
P.S. Thank you all for your comments, and special thanks for the award. I have now a good database of books to search and read. I did some cursory research on all the suggested books and realized that it’s not going to be easy to get a hold of some of them, but my perspective is that the first thing to do to read/enjoy a book is to know its name and then somewhere/somehow in the future the opportunity to own/read the book will present itself. THANK YOU ALL
The list I compiled so far please note that I didn’t (at least consciously) left any recommended book even if not …
Looking for books with a fan-fucking-tastic ending. Like the kind you still think about years later
On my short list would be:
100 years of solitude
circe
Rabbit, run
The end of eternity
The demolished man
Of mice and men
Hit me with some shit. Fuck me up fam
Hey y’all! I’m trying to get a list of some sci fi and fantasy books written by women that aren’t YA.
I honestly would love a huge smattering of styles. I’m not looking for something that is unnecessarily grim dark. Just…don’t want to read about a teenager doing teenager things.
