Brilliant! (especially the podcast choice)

ok this is probably the simplest automation i've built but it saves me every single morning

set up apple shortcuts to automatically play "what's news" podcast the moment i leave my gym's location in the morning hours

sounds dumb but i was literally doing this manually every day–get in car, open apple podcasts, search for the podcast, hit play

now it just... happens

the automation triggers when i'm ~530 ft. away from the gym between 7am-10am, then auto-plays

took maybe 10 minutes to set up, saves me 2-3 minutes every morning, but more importantly–one less thing to think about

i think the best automations aren't always the flashy ones everyone posts about

they're the tiny friction removers that make your day slightly better without you even noticing

Listen 🎧: On Capitol Hill, politicians are considering cuts to Medicaid. WSJ’s Anna Wilde Matthews and KFF’s Larry Levitt discuss what that would mean for Americans’ healthcare more broadly.

In great-power rivalries, it matters who’s on your side. For years, Washington has been either indifferent or inconsistent in its dealings with swaths of the globe. China, meanwhile, has been building influence.

Journalists and others at the ⁦@AspenSecurity⁩ Forum show solidarity with @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich who is facing trumped-up charges in Russia. #IStandWithEvan

[Alexander Osipovich @aosipovich]

My colleague Evan Gershkovich was back in court today for his sham trial on bogus espionage charges. His head has been shaved in compliance with Russian prison rules. With a growing number of my WSJ colleagues, I have shaved my head in solidarity. #IStandWithEvan
