I recently turned 40 and while I don’t feel the need for a midlife-crisis car, I almost wish I did because I know exactly what my vanity plate would be. #AntiHero

@RebeccaSlatkin Please tell me that “75 year old man living in a damp garage making my own ammunition surrounded by 50 cats” is your Halloween costume.

@computx The Jeep is so much more than that—it’s not just some fling! 😜

I ❤️ LOVE❣️“Only Murders in the Building”, but would never call it easy to watch. But then again, being in the right mental and emotional state for shows I enjoy has always been a challenge for me.

Do others consider OMitB “easy to watch”? Is it just me, or is Hulu out of touch?

[Ben Spaulding @benspaulding]

@glyph I think it only right that you provide us your best reenactment. I want to see biblically accurate @glyph!

@KatVellos If a book is read by @rmilesvox I am more likely to buy it than one that is not. She is great. https://t.co/Pkjbax3euX

I like @edent’s review of Nnedi Okorafor’s “Binti” series. I listened to it a few years ago and would enjoy listening again. (Note to all: Robin Miles is a terrific narrator.)

This is the impact of making prison and jail calls free. People inside and out are getting support from those who love and care for them, which creates hope and reduces tension in carceral facilities, strengthens familial and child bonds, improves reentry, and keeps us all safe.

@danidonovan @joshprice32 Ack! That’s rough. ☹️

I sent you a DM with some info, in case that is helpful.

@RebeccaSlatkin This week when it finally cooled down I began driving everywhere with the windows down just so I could once again feel the sweet embrace of a jacket. 🧥🤗

Do you have any news or thoughts on Choosy’s future?

—A very Choosy fan

[Ben Spaulding @benspaulding]

@choosyosx I bought Choosy back in 2016, over 10 years ago now. I love it! It is an essential tool that I use daily. It is especially useful as a remote worker, given all the links to Zoom calls, Notion pages, and more.

I think the only bug I have ever encountered is the quarter-size toolbar icon, but that has been around for a while, so I am worried!

@SarahTaber_bww Understandable! Unfortunate (the world’s fault 🛞🔥, not yours) but understandable.
