[-I got the idea of making this shortcut after reading a Macstories article. But their shortcut never worked in my case.
-It works across 1000+ websites. Here is the list of supported websites - https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
-The process is quite simple. But this comment is going to be long cz i’m writing it in details to minimize people facing further issues]
​
1.Download the Shortcut.(https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/bcfc24caf95d4d7eb4a39939757c339d)
2.Download a-shell mini from Appstore. Its a free and open-source app. God bless the devs.(https://apps.apple.com/us/app/a-shell-mini/id1543537943)
3.After downloading a-shell mini, there should be a new folder called “a-Shell” generated automatically in Files app. (Files>On My iPhone>a-Shell). Create a new folder called “bin” inside ‘a-Shell mini’ folder. In case the folder (a-shell) wasn’t generated automatically follow this-

Hey,
I‘ve created a Shortcut to search for any movie you want to see on netflix and in which country it is available. So you can use your VPN and watch it.
I hope you like it.

I used to be big into podcasts. Subscribed to like 60-70 at a time, had a whole workflow going of Daily Shows, Time Sensitive Shows, and then a backlog that I listened to when I ran out of the other 2 categories. Playlists, etc.
I’m down to like 7 shows now, and I still find myself zoning out basically every episode I listen to. I’ll be like “I didn’t hear what just happened. Let me go back.” Go back 30 seconds… doesn’t sound familiar.. 2 minutes, doesn’t sound familiar, 5 minutes, still doesn’t sound familiar.
I don’t know if the stuff just isn’t holding my interest anymore, or I’m just kind of over the “talk” audio for the time being.
I’ve noticed some of the popular true crime podcasts such as morbid and my favorite murder include a lot of banter or witty humor. I don’t come to listen to people make jokes when someone is murdered or torchered. Anyone know any good podcasts where they tell the story in a more serious manner? Something like Mile Higher? I’ve listened to all their episodes.
EDIT: Thanks everyone for the great suggestions I wasn’t expecting to get this many responses, currently listening to Southern fried true crime to start.
The production, research, and host are incredible, and wow that story is a drama filled, head scratcher. It follows similar beats, an investigative reporter following a potential wrongful conviction. It’s so interesting, brutal, and scary. I’m hooked, I can’t recommend it enough and the host Maggie Freleng wants this podcast to help uncover more about the investigation and uncover the truth. Have a listen, fans of true crime and serial, I cannot recommend this podcast enough.
I feel like I’ve listened to all of them but that can’t possibly be true. Please help haha all I want is a good true crime podcast that is professionally done.
Any recommendations about Salem witch trials podcasts or about witch trials in other shows parts of the world would be excellent!
What podcasts do you listen to that are completely self contained and escapist? It seems like there are endless self improvement, political and cultural podcasts, and even in genres that have nothing to do with the current events, the Pandemic and other events in society seem to seep in. True crime and historical podcasts are great, but sometimes kind of a downer. I am looking for a podcast where the hosts talk about something they are passionate about and present it in an entertaining way. Where you can kind of forget about whats happening in the world.
A perfect example is the Cashing Scratch Podcast, it’s about 2 guys getting better at golf. I don’t play golf, but listening to them is entertaining and rarely do societal issues come up.
Every podcast seems to be heady and burdened lately, I am looking to find something that is joyful, without the premise being find joy it self.
Thanks
Edit. Thank you everyone.
basically a novel that you’d be embarassed to tell someone is your ‘favorite book’
I’m 17 and really liked these kind of books and still do. The things is I’ve read them a lot and they are extremely easy to read. I can read at any level I guess but don’t like reading books with old timey language. I just want something like these that uses adult language and adult concepts. Thanks.
Edit: Seeing all of your responses has gotten me SO excited about books already. Can’t wait to start reading again!
Edit 2: Thank you so much for the recommendations everyone! I now have enough books recs to last a lifetime. Hope this thread helps other jaded readers like me reignite their love for reading. :)

I just finished my first year of grad school and one thing I’ve realized is that I’m often too mentally exhausted to even acknowledge that written text – that’s not riddled with jargon to the point where you have to google every third word – exists.
I really want to rekindle my love for reading again, so I am looking for a light and airy book that will not make my head hurt after reading it. :)
Things I am not looking for:
Something with a mysterious, dark and eerie atmosphere that remind of dark fairy tales, legends and folklore and give off melancholic vibes.
It can be YA or adult fiction, and can also contain horror elements.
Some media that features this vibe: Over the Garden Wall, Pans Labyrinth, The Witch, Sleepy Hollow, Grimm’s fairy tales…
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Wow, thank you all so much for your recommendations! I didn‘t expect to get so many, I‘m excited to look through all of them!
One of my favorite books is “ The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down.” I also really liked Educated. For some reason I have trouble getting into fiction, but I like non fiction with a really strong narrative. I like books that explore people, sociological concepts, subcultures, marginalized experiences, or just something interesting that you hadn’t really thought about before.
I understand “massive” may be defined differently depending on the individual, but I’m willing to consider everything and anything.
