I'd say the worst part of being a straight-laced detective is how I can only solve murders if I'm teamed up with a wacky partner whose hilarious outside-the-box thinking perfectly complements my finicky attention to detail.

If you’re wondering about Mastodon’s impact, Twitter is now automatically marking links to mastodon as “sensitive” (aka dangerous) and forcing users who get them to “appeal” the claim. In case Elon didn’t seem desperate enough for you already…

I think I’ll start with Find The Clock, which is one of his earliest.
Of my mother-in-law’s collection of 37 Harry Stephen Keeler novels, I’ve picked 4 to read. Find the Clock, The Riddle of The Traveling Skull, The Mysterious Mr. I, and The Case of The Barking Clock.

I jump through hoops like this all the time. #accessibility #hardofhearing #closedcaptions
