Oh and for those who are watching the absolutely amazing show #Ellis, you may be excited to know that episode 2 has aired and is available.

I will check it out tomorrow!

Next in my audible queue is "Strange Beasts" by Susan J. Morris, narrated by another favorite person of mine, Emily Woo Zeller.

The description, coupled with Emily who is epic, were enough to grab my attention.

Maybe I'll get to start it tonight!

And on that note, it's time for me to retire to bed and settle in for the last 5 chapters of "A Dark and Drowning Tide" ... I really have enjoyed this book more than I expected.

I chose it simply because it is narrated by Saskia Maarleveld, which is usually how I choose books (not by plot) and she's done an amazing job with the characters.

Hopefully I won't fall asleep again before I can find out how it all ends 🤣

A French mobility company called Mobilize has designed a new type of vehicle from scratch.

Two, actually: The Duo, an enclosed two-seater electric quadricycle, and its sibling the Bento, which ditches the back seat for a large storage box.

Sam Porter Bridges has finally trekked his way to Xbox.

Kojima Productions announced today that the director’s cut of Death Stranding is now available on the Xbox Series X / S. For a limited time the port will be available for 50 percent off. The studio also launched the game on Luna, Amazon’s fledgling game streaming service.

Death Stranding first launched in 2019, as Hideo Kojima’s first release after going independent, following a messy split with Konami.

Still haven't played? DO.

How fitting ...

The powerful James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a phenomenon once thought impossible. Scientists found this black hole has exceeded the "Eddington limit," which is basically the maximum brightness an object can achieve and how rapidly it can consume matter. This particular black hole, dubbed LID-568, is feeding ravenously on matter at a rate 40 times faster than thought possible.

The investigation of LID-568 has only just begun.

🤣 this gave me a chucke ❤️ 👍🏾 Say what you want about NE but we're one of the last bastions. It's just a matter of time though. Things were close in almost all NE states except for maybe MA.

I'm only a few minutes into the first episode of #Ellis but I can tell you right now that this series deserved way more than 3 episodes ...

Both Andrew Gower and Sharon D Clarke are exceptional. Their chemistry is kind of amazing and unexpectedly powerful.

I HIGHLY recommend this epicness.

Acorn TV’s new three-part crime drama Inspector Ellis is in the classic mold of engrossing, emotionally nuanced series such as Morse and Dalgleish, with the welcome and long-overdue update of being led by a Black woman. Veteran stage and screen actress Sharon D Clarke brings a compelling mix of tenacity and tenderness to her performance as DCI Ellis.

It's really great revisiting #Arrow with @IronButterfly 👍🏾 There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss the old classic CW shows. They weren't perfect, they weren't for everyone, but the spirit of them was so great. Not just the capes and masks but also stuff like Vampire Diaries, Riverdale, and Nikita etc.

I miss Katie Cassidy (yes, daughter of David).

It took me a long time to enjoy the character of Laurel Lance mainly because the writers gave her nothing real to do until way later. ❤️

As League of Legends producer Riot Games and French animation studio, Fortiche are about to premiere #Arcane season 2 on Netflix, some new information has been shared about the series that is very interesting.

It turns out that Arcane is the most expensive animated show ever made! It cost $250 million to produce 18 episodes.

I really love 3D printing for a variety of reasons, but mainly for things like this:

I have a #HidrateSpark that I love using but they have inverted screw on lids so I can't use my favorite kind of lid with it - an epic chug lid that keeps the ice away from your face. I was looking all over for basically an adapter to turn my in-y into an out-y and I found a guy who prints them on ETSY.

It fits PERFECTLY on my bottle and allows me to screw on the lid I prefer to use.

Everything is on fire,
but everyone I love is doing beautiful things
and trying to make life worth living,
and I know I don’t have to believe in everything,
but I believe in that.

Still enjoying this beautiful weather. Writing a bit and enjoying an Ichiban #cigar with some Earl Grey Negroni that has no business being as good as this is. ❤️

78F° in November in Connecticut because, you know, that makes sense 🤣 But no complaints here because that means it's great for #porchtime writing and a few #cigars. 👍🏾

The Babadook director Jennifer Kent has made some great horror films including 2018’s The Nightingale as well as an episode of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities for Netflix.

In a recent interview Kent teased:

“We’re about to announce something that’s going ahead, a film based on a book. A very well-known horror book. But I can’t really say more than that at this point.”

It's looking like that film is going to be an adaptation of #CliveBarker's The Thief Of Always.
