@SebastianArcq this is just untrue. People pay for things like Letterboxd explicitly because it offers stats. Marco can only do so much of course, but I definitely know people who stick with Spotify or PocketCasts because of the ability to share stats and history

@marcoarment you’d mentioned sometime last year you’d laid some track down for doing a form of an end of year “wrapped” feature for Overcast. Are we going to see that for the end of this year?

It's so exciting that Doctor Who is back. And not just Doctor Who but *this* Doctor Who: a show that's confident and unafraid of itself and its inherent silliness. And further, a show unafraid to tell the anti-woke crowd this show isn't for them.

Actual exchange this morning:

“Daddy it snowed last night!”
Sure did!
“Does that mean I can’t go trick or treating?!”
Why? It’s ok, we’ll still go out.
“Even in the snow?”
(This is my time. A youthful vigor courses through my body unfelt since the 20th century.)
“Kid, let me tell you about a little date, October 31, 1991, when—“
There was a blizzard.
“-there was a, uh. Yeah.”

Kid stole my Blizzard of ‘91 thunder. #MNastodon

@siracusa and it killed the 13” Touch Bar with it.

Sigh. I’ve officially finished my first full season being a fan of a Minnesota sports team. By that I mean: firing the head coach with two games left which leads to an amazing game followed by tonight’s sad end of their season with their first playoff miss in years.

Here’s to next season! 🤷‍♂️ #mnufc

My TV space dad’s memoir was released today. It’s been a long time since I’ve bought a book on day one. Time to make it so.

@caseyliss it’s TPU, so it’s soft like silicone but without any “squish” or give. Also still fingerprint-free after about 12 hours of use. Here’s a pic after a day’s use with my blue 15 Pro

@jonnyinmk @caseyliss just got a Torras, can confirm no branding on the outside. It’s what kept me from getting a Spigen or Caudabe case.

@caseyliss I just got the ultra thin TORRAS case with MagSafe today and really like it. Has a soft feel, no branding (big thing for me), very thin, big USB-C cutout, and has both the circle AND the bar/vertical magnet which weirdly a lot of “MagSafe” cases don’t have. And clicky buttons! https://a.co/d/iLugsDL
