      I recently rebuilt my spreadsheet that tracks our monthly outgoings. It calculates your emergency savings, and checks if your spending fits the 50/30/20 rule. Categories mirror Monzo's, so you can cross-reference against your actual spending.

Sounds useful? Clone it here:

      Friends,

I'm looking for a good anti-blue filter/screen for my MacBook. 

Do you use something like this? Is it good? Does it compromise display quality? Do you recommend it?

I don't want anti-blue eyeglasses and am looking for something to stick to my screens instead.

Any tips you might share?

      "doesn't understand the appeal of patina" feels like neat summation of American aesthetics
      A BBC story headline reads: "Worth $5M? Visitors react to renovated Washington horse statues." There are two photos. One from 2013 that shows the horse statues in their older, patina state. And one from 2026 that shows them covered in 23.75-karat gold leaf.
