Hey, my name is in the Epstein files! I've told the story before, but should probably re-up.

dplyr 1.2.0 is out now and we are SO excited!
- `filter_out()` for dropping rows
- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools
These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

When I was a medical resident my personal yardstick for mental wellness was how badly I wanted to trade places with my patients, because at least they got to lie down and eat meals (for the most part).
